Car
Buick Roadmaster
The Roadmaster is a name Buick used for a large, comfortable car in the past. In this podcast, it sounds like the term is being used as a nickname for a person, not necessarily as a car someone is shopping for. So the mention is more about the co-host’s nickname than vehicle details.
Term
Turbochargers
A turbocharger is a part that helps an engine make more power. It uses the car’s exhaust to spin a turbine and push extra air into the engine, so the engine can feel stronger even if it’s not bigger.
Concept
fuel economy
Fuel economy is how far a car can go on a given amount of fuel. If rules require better fuel economy, automakers may change the engine and other systems to burn less fuel.
Term
EcoBoost engine
EcoBoost is Ford’s way of making smaller gas engines that use turbocharging. A turbo helps the engine feel stronger without needing a bigger engine.

LIVE
This is The CarPro Show, the home of straight talk and honest answers about everything automotive
with Jerry Reynolds The CarPro, a former two-term chairman of the Ford National Dealer Council,
a member of the Texas Radio Hall of Fame, and sixth time winner of the Texas Auto Writers
Association Award for Best Radio Show in Texas.
Jerry's partner is Todd Chambliss, great voiceover guy, and sixth time winner of the
Darche Championship at the Golden Sperr Bar and Grill.
Here they are now on The CarPro Show.
Oh boy, we are so glad you joined us today for The CarPro Show.
We got lots going on here today, and if you're thinking about making a move with your automotive
situation, we need to talk.
If you would like to pick my brain and take advantage of my many, many decades of helping
people, make sure they do the right thing.
If you make a mistake buying a car, oh my goodness, it's going to be an expensive one.
So let's not do that.
Here's the phone number that you can call me, 800-926-7777.
800-926-7777.
We are live on remote at Five Star Ford in Dallas, Texas at a big beautiful dealership,
one of the biggest volume dealerships in the country.
And coming up in this hour, we're going to talk to a gentleman that sells more of the
Ford Transit Vans than anybody in America, great guy, I've known him for years.
In fact, I recommended he get the job here, and he did some years ago, a couple of years
ago, doing a great job.
So if you ever wondered about these Transit Vans, we'll have a couple of minutes with
him, and then coming up at, oh, right about 35 after the hour, NBA star legend, man, this
guy is something, if you're a basketball fan, Jason Kidd.
Oh man.
Jason Kidd will be coming up about 35 minutes after the hour.
That voice that you just heard is my buddy and co-host.
We call him the old roadmaster, Todd Chambliss.
It's an amazing day here at this dealership, which has a restaurant called Eatsies in it.
If you're in the Dallas, Fort Worth area, you know about that place.
Oh, everybody knows about that.
And a movie theater that plays movies all day.
So if you're getting your car serviced, you can go watch a movie.
Yep.
I have never heard of that in a car dealership.
Well, me either.
That was kind of a first for me, but they do it here, and I think that's kind of fun.
If you're waiting, so many people want to wait on their car for service, it's only going
to be a couple of hours.
There's also here they've got workstations where you can work on your computer if you
want to bring your computer and also some very, very comfy accommodations.
Absolutely.
And everywhere.
The Wi-Fi is good.
It's a nice clean dealership.
Like you said, the service area is so clean, you could probably eat off the floor.
I wouldn't be afraid of it.
That would be kind of interesting to watch.
We don't really need to have that YouTube video out there, but that would be interesting.
But yeah, this is a great place if you're in the Dallas, Fort Worth area.
Come on by and see us.
And like you said, this time of the year with the Ford employee pricing going on and the
holiday coming up and everybody trying to go and get those last minute numbers up and
everything, it certainly puts you in the catbird seat.
Yes, it does.
I'll tell you what, the manufacturers push really hard at the end of the month, but also
more so at the end of the quarter.
And that's where we are right now.
What day is the 30th this month?
I haven't looked.
The Tuesday, I believe.
Tuesday.
Okay.
That's when the current round of incentives end.
Now, inside information, the majority of those are going to carry over into July.
It happens every year because the manufacturers want to take advantage of the July 4th holiday,
which this particular year happens to be the 250th birthday of our wonderful country.
So they are pushing really hard.
I can't say with certainty that all the incentives that are there right now will carry over into
July, but I can tell you a lot of them.
And the one in particular that's a big one is Ford employee pricing.
And that does go until Monday, July the 6th.
So there you go.
800-926-7777, 800-926-7777, Kirk in Katie.
You're up next on The Car Pro Show.
Kirk, what can I help you with?
So I keep hearing and watching on my internet feed.
Turbochargers are kind of the thing.
I guess the government pushed that on a lot of manufacturers.
And I guess it's maybe reducing the life of engines, making it hotter, I guess.
And I didn't know your thoughts on that.
If it's worth it getting a new vehicle with a turbocharger or get some of the older ones
that didn't have it, what do you think?
Kirk, the stuff you read on the internet, you've got to be really careful because the
majority of it's not correct.
Turbos, let me give you a good example.
I'm sitting inside a Ford dealership right now.
And the majority of their products that they sell has got turbochargers on it, right?
And you were partially right in that the government didn't push turbos.
What the government pushed, particularly in the last administration,
was they pushed fuel economy.
So for the automakers to be able to meet the federal standards for fuel economy that have
since been rescinded, the manufacturers had to figure out a way to make cars get better
fuel economy.
But at the same time, they had to figure out, this is America.
People drive fast here.
And how can we get fuel economy and also get the horsepower that Americans want?
And the answer was turbochargers.
Now, Ford had the insight to see this coming many years ago.
The very first EcoBoost engine I ever reviewed was in 2009.
So Ford has been building EcoBoost since that time.
And now that's 90% of what they sell.
And I see these EcoBoost engine vehicles with 250 to 300,000 miles on them that have never
had a wrench on the engine.
So there are things that you need to do with a turbo.
Where most of this stuff comes out online and on these forums that you read about turbos
were people who had bad turbos in the 80s and 90s.
And admittedly, they were worse.
They were horrible.
But now with the technology and the intercoolers that happen that are in the turbos to cool
them down really fast before you shut the car off, the turbos are now very reliable.
I would not have a car, personally, that didn't have either a turbocharger or in my case,
I've got one that's got a supercharger.
And I will never have one that doesn't.
And that's just me.
So don't believe everything you read online.
Don't fear the turbochargers.
In fact, I wrote an article to that effect not too long ago that was titled, Don't Fear
the Turbos.
And that's the fact.
And you're listening to the car pro show with Jerry Reynolds, the car pro.
It's Todd Chambliss.
Just a few minutes ago, actually, Jerry had a chance to sit down and talk to the individual,
the man who is pretty pivotal here as far as this dealership is concerned, because he
is the guy that has helped spur them on to sell the most Ford Transit Vans in the country
from this very dealership in Dallas, Fort Worth.
His name is Ed Bowers, and we just had a chance to chat with him just a few minutes ago.
We're coming to you live from Five Star Ford in Dallas, Texas, and joining us is a gentleman
I've known for a lot of years, Ed Bowers.
Ed, welcome to the show.
Thank you, Jerry.
Good to have you.
You know, you've been a listener here for I don't know how many years.
As far as when you had the show, I was on listening back then.
You've sent me many, many emails through the years, and you've found a real niche with
these Transit Vans years ago, and you wanted to expound on that, and you asked me what
dealership should you talk to about going to work there.
And I told you to come here, Five Star Ford in Dallas, and you did.
And how long have you been here now?
So it's nearly two years in October, so originally I started in 2017.
They saw what I could do, and they turned it over to me, and you've seen what's happened
since I've been here.
You sell more Transit Vans than any dealership in America.
That's amazing.
I found out about that today.
We were like anywhere from fifth to third going on, but we've really pushed it, and
the thing that you've been talking about is the Ford Employee Pricing.
We've got 26 as they can get an employee pricing.
Oh, that is awesome.
What is the website?
I know you work really hard on it.
Give us that website.
Okay, the website is www.FordTransitUSAForum.com.
Okay, so people can get on there, they can ask you questions, you monitor it all the
time, and how many Transit Vans do you guys have here?
Right now, we're actually in short supply because we keep selling too many of them.
So actually what I've got coming right now, I've got 57, 20, 26, they're in production
right now, so I've got some, in fact there's some on transport trucks coming right now.
We've got nine this week, so we've got the 57, 26s.
We're just now ordering 27s.
Okay, so if somebody wants to order a van, or if they want to take advantage of employee
pricing right now, they can contact you here at Five Star Ford or go to, let me make sure
I got this right, FordTransitVansForum.com.
It's FordTransitUSAForum.com.
The reason we put USA because you have Transits that are overseas, so we wanted to make it
exclusive just for the Transit in the USA because it's completely different from the
Transit that's sold worldwide.
I see.
And then one thing I wanted to mention is, if they call Five Star Ford to Dallas, my
name on the forum is CrewVanMan, and they could also contact me.
My email is CrewVanMan at gmail.com, so you can contact me through my email.
You can contact me through the dealership, and we can fix you up.
There you go.
That's Ed Bauer.
He is Mr. Transit.
If you've got a need for one of those, all you've got to do is get ahold of him, the website
one more time, FordTransitUSAForum.com.
And if you're driving and you can't write that down, that's okay, shoot me an email
and I'll send it to you.
Ed, thanks for joining us.
Thank you, sir.
All right, buddy.
We'll be back right after this.
They're shipping these vans all over the country.
There's some colors that they're getting too that weren't available before, but they're
actually able to make it happen, so he's a good guy to go contact if you're looking
for one.
Ed, I've never seen anybody so passionate about a particular product.
He made a niche for himself, and I'm proud of him.
And you were instrumental in getting him aboard this dealership, too.
Yes, I was.
He wanted to know where to go, you know, what's a good dealership to work for.
And I said, well, you're going to want to work for a five-star store.
And the one in Dallas has got the most land.
And it's the biggest.
Is that true?
The most land?
I didn't know that.
I believe that to be true.
Yeah, okay.
800-926-7777, that's the phone number here, and we'll go to Randy in Portland, Oregon.
Randy, we are short on time, my friend, but how can I help you?
Okay.
Yeah, I think I can make this fast.
I'm interested in a RAV4, but you don't see any on the lots around here.
People are putting in deposits to reserve them just to get them in.
How does a guy get a good deal on a car when they're in so demand and you can't even go
drive one in a tube?
And that's been going on for a while with the RAV4, the number one selling SUV in America.
If you will get a good dealer there in the Portland area and put some money down and reserve
one, they should discount it other than the hybrid by at least 500 bucks.
If you bought a car you thought you'd love, but now you want to push it off a cliff, get
some advice from the CarPro Jerry Reynolds on the chaise.com CarPro Listener Line, 1-800-926-7777.
And David in Glendora, California, you're next on the CarPro Show.
Hi, David.
Hi, Jerry.
How you doing?
I'm good.
Quick question for you.
At the end of the year, I'm going to be looking for off-road SUV, not real hardcore, so I'm
looking at the Land Rover, the Ford Expedition Tremor, behind the Passport.
And I'm curious, do you know anything about the new international scout?
Oh, yeah.
We've covered the scout in our newsletter extensively.
It's all electric.
Are you aware of that?
No, I'm not.
Okay.
Never mind.
Well, and I think it's going to be great if we ever see one, but there's a lot of lawsuits
flying around about it because the state of California suing Volkswagen who owns International
Scout, they bought the rights, and Colorado suing Texas, I would just imagine if they
haven't yet filed, they will.
But I'll tell you what, I reviewed the Expedition Tremor not long ago, and you can find it
at my website, carpro.com, under car reviews, and you'll see it.
It was spectacular.
I absolutely loved it.
So I think that would be a good choice for you.
We've got the new Subaru Ascent coming out, and that might be something to look at.
We haven't had it yet because it hadn't hit, but probably will pretty soon.
That might be an alternative.
So that's on the market now?
It's about to be.
It's not yet.
Oh, okay.
But it will be.
And they haven't changed that vehicle in a long time, but it's the biggest Subaru.
It's got a third row seat, very capable off the road.
So, you know, I think there'll be plenty of choices out there for you, and I've got
good dealers for all those at carpro.com when you get ready.
If you decide to go with the Tremor, I can't stress enough, this employee pricing saves
people a ton of money, and that ends on July 6th, so don't miss that.
That would be a mistake.
I appreciate the call, my friend.
Don't forget, we've got Jason Kidd coming up very quick here on CarPro Show.
You can't get good advice from someone who doesn't really have a lot of experience.
That's why you need to call the CarPro Jerry Reynolds before you get your next vehicle.
Call the Chase.com CarPro this underline now at 1-800-926-7777.
I want to welcome to the CarPro Show a man that actually needs no introduction.
Jason Kidd is one of the great basketball minds of this generation, a Hall of Fame point
guard 10-time NBA All-Star Olympic gold medalist and a key part of the Dallas Mavericks 2011
NBA Championship team.
He later returned to Dallas as head coach and helped guide the Mavericks to multiple
playoff wins, including the Western Conference Finals in 2022 and the NBA Finals in 2024,
adding another chapter to a remarkable basketball life.
Joining me in welcoming Jason Kidd.
Jason, so good to have you with us, buddy.
Jerry, thank you very much.
That was an incredible introduction.
Well deserved.
But that was, no, thank you.
That's my, because I played with good teammates.
So I appreciate that introduction.
But Jason, we're here at five star four in Dallas.
And as I understand it, tell me if I'm right, you've become quite the pickup guy.
I am. I love the pickups.
Brian has introduced me to the pickup truck.
And again, he has never been wrong.
He has let me, he's introduced me to the Roush, to the Hennessy.
And so again, I told him, how can you pick one over the other?
And so Brian is, again, as you know, an incredible human being and a great person.
And again, he's educated me on the truck.
Well, I only like him.
We're only friends because I love his wife.
So. Yeah, Brian Hughes, Jason has nicknamed you cool kid.
Now, I got to know, just driving these badass trucks really make you feel cool.
Exactly. He came up with that term.
He says, do you want to be a cool kid?
And I go, I would love to be a cool kid.
Like, how can I be cool?
And so he goes, I got a perfect thing for you.
And it's been these incredible trucks to be able to test drive,
to give my review on the trucks.
They've all been five stars.
I said, I don't think he's giving me anything that I can give a four star to.
And so again, Brian's vision of being a cool kid.
He's he's taken that term and he's ran with it.
And so to be again, with five star forward and what Brian has done to educate me
on the truck has been incredible and it's been a lot of fun.
We're talking to NBA legend, Jason Kidd here on the car pro show.
Jason, are people surprised when you pull up to a nice restaurant
or one of the charity events that you go to driving one of those
jacked up turbocharged diesels from F.S. performance?
Yeah, you know, I get a lot of stairs
and then I get a lot of compliments.
And I think I think they're all shocked to see me come out of it.
You know, when you when you drive a truck of that magnitude
and that beauty, again, to see myself get out of it, it's surprising.
And then I get a lot of questions.
And so when I talk about the truck, I also tell them,
you got to go see five star for, you know, to see Brian
because he can give you all the details to this truck and just understanding
that again, anytime I've stepped out of that truck, Jerry,
I've I've always been smiling because it's a lot of fun.
Yes. And Brian's Brian always says, if you can dream it, we can build it.
You got to tell me the truth here.
OK, I'm going to put you on the spot.
All right. We'll we'll porcelain ride with you in that truck.
Yes, she was she's falling in love with the truck.
And so it's it's almost a race in the morning to see who's driving the truck.
Oh, man. All right.
I'm a serious faster faster than I am.
So you always win.
And she's always going to win.
So let's just get that.
Let's just get that on the table.
On a serious note, you do amazing work with your charity,
the Jason Kidd Foundation.
Tell everybody kind of quickly.
What's what's the Jason Kidd Foundation about?
And where can they go to learn more about it?
Yeah, thanks, Jerry.
I think when you talk about the Jason Kidd Foundation,
we've been going at this for six years now.
And we really focus on the youth of sports, the initiatives of being able to help
young ladies and young men, you know, achieve their goals,
not just on on the playing field, but also in school.
And so to be able to help these young ladies achieve their dreams,
it's like building one of those those trucks that Brian builds.
You know, if you can dream it and, you know, we ask them, what do you want?
And so for that, it's up to the foundation to help put these young kids
in the right lanes to be able to get to to the school that they wanted to go to.
And so it's been a lot of fun.
Our young ladies program in Northern California and also in the Dallas area
is doing extremely well.
And then we just launched a baseball initiative.
And so we're really excited about that.
And so to be able to help these young kids, I have a quick story
to share about the baseball initiative.
We have a young man who's from Yuma, Arizona, never been on a plane before.
And so at the age of 15, he was we flew him from Phoenix to Atlanta
to participate in a in a tournament.
And he was so nervous, but it was an incredible story
because he flew by himself and never been on a plane
and never played, you know, outside of Arizona.
And so that's what that's what the foundation is all about,
is giving these young ladies and these young men the opportunity to see our country
but also to be able to play at the highest level
and hopefully achieve their dreams and that's going on to school again.
Everyone's not going to be able to be a pro or go pro.
And so we can hopefully develop doctors and teachers
and better leaders of our world as we go forward.
Absolutely.
So I'd love to go make a donation today.
We're working people do that.
You can go to the Jason Kidd Foundation webpage and there is a donate button there.
And so I really appreciate that, Jerry, for your support with that.
But it's really easy.
You go to the Jason Kidd Foundation, there's a donate button.
You just click it and you can donate five bucks, ten bucks,
whatever it is and just understand it's going to a great cause for these young kids.
It's been an honor to have you with us on the car pro show, Jason Kidd.
And you know, let's do this again sometime.
Jerry, I'm in.
If you ever need a sub or you got to find a guest, I'm in.
I love to be part of the car pro show whenever you need me.
Thank you, pal. Jason Kidd, everybody.
What a nice guy.
What a great guy.
Yeah, what a great cause too.
Yeah, they do amazing work.
Yeah.
Let's talk for just a second.
If you would like to get in line now to pick my brain about this great time
to buy yourself a new set of wheels, the phone numbers 800 926 7777.
Next weekend, the car pro show is going to be something I think very special.
I think so, too.
It's our it's called the road to 250.
And it's all about our country and 250 years.
And boy, I tell you what, Todd and I spent a lot of time on this special presentation.
And I mean, you never want to brag on yourself, but no, I mean, a lot.
I mean, a lot of work from both ends.
You writing and coming up with some of the guests on there and the songs
that you're showcasing.
There's a new song that you'll be showcasing.
Yeah, wrote a brand new song.
You sure? Why not?
Because it's the fourth and you had a reason to.
That's exactly right.
But yeah, we're really proud of it.
And I think it's going to be something that people want to listen to time and time again.
So don't miss the car pro show next weekend.
If you think you want a hybrid or maybe an electric, call the car pro Jerry Reynolds first.
He'll help you decide.
Call the chase dot com car pro listener line now at 1 800 926 77 77.
Well, back in March of this year, you wrote, I'm reading from the newsletter, by the way,
you Jerry Reynolds wrote that the EV experiment already topped 100 billion in losses.
This is March.
So is that number the same here in near July?
Oh, no, it's it's grown.
Oh, it'll continue to grow.
Oh, no, it's going to it's it's best I can figure right now.
We're up to about 150 billion dollars.
And it's just you got to understand that's just what they've written off in losses
all along the road to get it where we are today.
There were losses.
Yeah, because at one time, the Ford Lightning, which is a great electric truck, that was impressive.
Yeah, but at one time, Ford was losing $100,000 a truck.
See, that's not so impressive right there.
And they admitted to that.
Yeah, that's not a made up number.
They admitted that they lost $100,000 for every truck.
That they built.
So they're negative equity with every sale.
I'm no genius by any stretch.
And I've never run an automotive manufacturing company.
That's good to know.
I've run dealerships, I've owned dealerships, lots of them.
But when I'm losing $100,000 for every one of them that I build, my thinking is Bill Fuhr.
The model ain't working.
Yeah, yeah.
You cannot lose $100,000 per vehicle and make it up in volume.
Right, right.
Oh, there's that.
It's going to go and be negative with every single sale and the numbers getting higher,
numbers lower.
It's never going to help that it's never going to 809267777.
That is the phone number here 809267777 in the weekly newsletter.
This that came out just this Friday.
We had everything you want.
You need to know that we can verify about the all new 2027 Chevy Silverado.
And people have been asking me about that for a long time.
We're starting to get the details now starting to get details on the GMC Sierra.
Oh, okay.
Is the sister truck and we'll have those for you in the next week or maybe two.
But next week, the newsletter will come out early.
It'll probably be on Wednesday and we will it'll be an abbreviated version.
Some of the normal stuff that you see there like Kim Commando and my quick shifts in the
suits and settlements section.
A lot of that stuff will be gone just for next week.
But if you're not a subscriber, all you got to do is go to carpro.com and subscribe today.
You'll get yesterday's in your inbox immediately.
And you can look at everything there, including why are more and more cars being totaled out.
Which is something that is surprising a lot of people.
And you can be ready for that to happen if you get in a car accident.
But this this thing really is is a big help.
Is your car on the list of the top 10 cars with the most catalytic converter thefts.
Oh man, what a what a beating to go and have get that changed out the cost of it
at the time and everything else.
Oh yeah.
And it's just so many people they have no idea it happened.
And then they go out and I crank their car and it sounds like a NASCAR.
Exactly.
Because there's no muffler system on it.
It's been stolen.

Another happy listener.
It's time to go and talk about the folks who actually have used Jerry's way of buying a car.
Have a great story to tell.
Stephen wrote in and talked about Jeff Hasmasta, the fact that he had driven by some other dealership
on his way home from work just to see what they had looking for a Miata, by the way.
And the salesman was unprofessional, unprofessional, barely willing to help.
Now this is not at Jeff Hasmasta.
Apparently he went to Jeff Hasmasta and used your car pro certified sales associate,
Kenneth Page, a step above any sales professional he's ever dealt with.
Talked extensively about car pro and of course the reason that the system works so well.
So he walked away or he drove away.
Probably not walk away is a good term.
Drove away with a brand new Miata.
And he is certainly very happy today knowing that he didn't have any pressure.
He didn't have unprofessional activity from the salesperson.
And it's just a pleasure in the car buying process.
I bet he back candles may too.
He probably did.
She's our contact there.
She's a doll.
Yes.
Love her to death.
Yep.
So yeah, that's, that's all you need to do.
And it's real simple.
I probably may not have a brand of dealer that's, you know, right around the corner from you.
But the odds that you find in a good dealer close to home aren't very good.
And trust me, I know because I, we have to vet all these dealers that are part of the show and
we run through, oh, I mean, our take rate is very, very low of people that we find.
Not a lot of turnover.
No, that are willing to do what I tell, you know, what I tell you on the air that we do
and what the dealers do.
And they always stick up for me and they make me proud.
Just like that deal right there.
Absolutely.
There you go.

About this episode
Broadcast live from Five Star Ford in Dallas, the hosts kick off with dealership amenities and a focus on Ford Transit Vans, including a forum for the community and a discussion of Ford Employee Pricing deadlines. The show then pivots to turbo talk—why turbos became common, and why modern EcoBoost tech is argued to be more reliable than older designs. Callers weigh in on scarce inventory and off-road SUV shopping, while a celebrity guest (Jason Kidd) shares his modified turbocharged diesel truck and youth foundation work.
