Just here bitch'n...

Looking to replace my 2021 F250 Lariat with the premium package for a new 2027 F250 Lariat with the Premium package. In 2021 I added the Adaptive steering option. In 2024 they replaced adaptive steering with Electrical Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) but no option online to add it. Depending on how you ask, Google says it's standard or it say's only available with the Ultimate package. And if asked directly it says it's standard with the Premium package. One dealer said it's no longer available while others are still looking.

I also have an A.R.E. Z cap on my 2021 with the lock being integrated into the trucks locking system. Just checked with my local cap dealer. Of course my 2021 will not fit on a new 2027, that would be too easy but I understand. The problem now is they can't integrate the locking mechanism into the new trucks lock. I have to use a key every time I want to lock it! They said the electronics in the new trucks are so sensitive that it throws a code and causes computer issues. Need the industry to offer a plug-n-play harness before they can start using keyless system again.

Not going to dump another $40K to get a less functional truck..

Just pissed...

Bitch'n ends....

Asked a question about stropping and that got me down the path of buying a good sharpener. Work Sharp seems like a really good brand and should be easy enough to do. Did I say I suck at sharpening... Question is which way to go. The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener Kit is entry level at $66.50 The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener at $123.50 and the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener at $237.50. Leaning towards the Elite for the extra 800 grit and leather strop.  Is there any reason I would want the Professional for $110 more? Looks like it has the same stones, ceramic and strop just larger stones? Also seems like a beefier system. I think I'd rather spend the extra now if it's worth it than save $110 and wish I got the better one. Thoughts?

Got a mini auto Adamas. Extremely sharp. Been using as my edc and while still very sharp it’s not extremely sharp. I suck at sharpening so I got a CLA as a backup when I send the Adamas in for sharpening. Now thinking stropping might extend the use of the Adamas a bit longer. Is it worth it? Can stropping actually dull the blade? What is the best way or product to use when stropping? Appreciate the help
