Being at risk of stealing the thread, when I ordered this last truck, I looked at it a little different. I picked and chose the packages that reflecting my intended use, what I liked from older vintage trucks, and where I had encountered problems in the past. I elected not to order the Lariat...

Simply, I like my ‘22 SCAB. It has enough room for what I do and enough power to get me in trouble.

IBM had a system called Watson. Competed on Jeopardy I believe.

Good question. It is veiled in ancient history. Back in the 60’s; 1960’s not 1860’s, Fram got a reputation for filters collapsing, starving engines for oil, and I quit using them. Of course that was slightly before the internet existed, shoot we used to use decks of cards to program computers...

I grew up with V8’s, manual transmissions, and working on cars, but turbos and finicky electronics made me nervous. I bought the Ford extended warranty through Grainger instead of the Allstate warranty through the local dealer.

I’ve been using Mobil 1 full synthetic for years. I changed to WIX filters after an issue with a Ford filter with this vehicle. As one of commenters said earlier, we have developed our favorites for one reason another and we are prone to debate the issue way beyond any real data. A name brand...

I’m another one of those old Ranger owners, i.e. 72, and I love my ‘22 SCAB FX4. Downsized from a crew cab F150, which was also a great truck, but just too big. When I open the garage and I’m by myself, I always pick the Ranger over our Highlander Limited. As for problems, “ain’t had no...

I have the Covercraft Carhartt Precision Fit front seat covers in my 2022 Scab. I think they are great. Bought them from Stage3 Motorsports last year. They aren’t cheap at $379, but that includes both headrest covers and the console cover.

NO! I love my ‘22. Slowly modding to get it like I want it for the long run. Definitely don’t want wider and longer.

That together with an engine cover and a tailgate damper make for a blissful ownership experience.

My 2022 SCAB, March build, did not have the mounting points. Not too much of an issue, just added the ones from Redline Tuning.

I bought the Covercraft Carhartt Precision Fit ones through Stage3Motorsports. I like them a lot. I had a bad seam on the seat back cover initially, which Covercraft took care of. Excuse the shadows on the seats. Those aren’t ripples in the fabric. I’ll try to take a better picture tomorrow, if...

Yeah, I understand no matter what the quality control measures are, some bad ones slip through. I also understand Ford doesn’t make a lot of the Ford branded products. Also since I have cooled off a bit, the responsibility is ultimately mine for installing it, especially since there was some...

As for the clean up, it was oodles of fun. It is amazing how much heavier cat litter gets when it is saturated with oil. Tomorrow I will repeat my Simply Green and water wash of the garage floor. Oh well, at 72 what else do you have to do anyway.

Autozone, but I wouldn’t expect any responsibility on their part. It is a Ford branded product and they should have some quality control responsibility. We’ll see. I’m more concerned about a turbo failure as a result later on and coverage opposite my warranty.

I ran across the oil filter o-ring separation issue a lot back in my Chevrolet days with AC-Delco filters. I watch for that problem, but never had a problem with the threads before. One more thing to watch for, but it probably won’t be for Ford oil filters. My extended warranty on the Ranger...

I had an interesting experience yesterday, which you might find interesting, not amusing. I did the first oil change on the 2022 Ranger, 3000 miles, my requirement, not Fords. The filter installation (a Ford FL-910S filter , by the way) is a bit tricky, but not the worst I've done. The original...

I found with the Ford drop-in bedliner the medium was about perfect Fitting the side rails is a tedious process. First, I had to cut the corners of the drop in bedliner to allow the BAK corner brackets to fit. Then I had to cut a relief in the bedliner to allow the side rails to fit far enough...

I totally agree with you, I really love my ‘22 SCAB. At 71 I’ve owned a number of vehicles that I really enjoyed owning, but this has to be my favorite. And by the way, it has been pretty wet here in North Georgia too. Reluctant to complain too much, it might turn to ice.

Nah, they are right next to the
