New vehicle

[RangerRalph]

I was driving to work a few weeks ago and a elderly lady ran a stop sign and T-boned my wife's Kia. Thankfully everyone was OK. The damage was enough to total out the shitbox and holy hell this market is stupid. I finally found a clean one owner F150 no accidents with low mileage in our price range.

The shitbox was special ordered with every option offered.

My new daily driver 2014 Tremor.

Glad everyone was OK. Congrats on the new ride. And yes, this market is still stupid.

To tell you the truth, that's what I wanted before the Ranger. A regular cab F150 with short box, just couldn't find a new one.

That truck is pretty cool. It looks like it's begging for a burnout.

Yeah man thank you, almost every truck in a 500 mile radius of me in my year and price range was at minimum 5k over bluebook the average was 10k plus. This Tremor was 3k it was the only reasonable deal and dealer was transparent with us.

It's weirdly roomy for a single cab. My only two single cabs were a 2003 Silverado 1500 step side bed and a 2005 F250 diesel both purchased new. I think it's because there is room behind the seats the other two didn't have any space beyond the seats.

I have only had it 24 hours a exhaust has been ordered for it.

Can't wait for the exhaust to get here. When this gets here every fluid will be changed except coolant the coolant was done last year at a ford dealer and brakes/rotors were replaced 7k miles ago by the same dealer. It has an extensive service history for only 115,000 miles.

Nice. It is the V6 ecoboost right? Livernois makes a tuner for it...

Like the black and red interior. Of course I am biased. ?

sorry about the car but no one hurt plus a sharp truck, sounds like a win.

Yeah its the 3.5, I'm going to tune it I want to make sure it's healthy first. I had it fall on its face the dreaded condensation in the intercooler. The turbos are noisy I want to make sure that's normal. The Ranger is our first ecoboost and it's quiet in comparison the power isnt as responsive compared to the Ranger.

I want to make sure my concerns aren't issues then its intake and tune time.

Man we've had so many issues with that turd I was dreading it was going to be fixed. The engine blew at 70k, only dealer serviced since new, the new engine at 3k miles had the same issues the original engine had since 12k miles. Kia did everything to run out the time to keep us from lemon law. The dealer ran a golf cart into the hatch while it was waiting on the new engine. It rained in the cab until they got it to seal. The dealer cross threaded the drain plug with an impact on the new engine leaving my wife stuck leaking oil 2 states away. The Kia dealer two states away tried to charge my wife to "fix" it enough to get home. To say we've been through hell with that car is putting it lightly.

The drain plug after getting an oil change asking the dealer to make sure it was road worthy for a wedding two states away.
