I’ve always used conventional/blend whether Valvoline, Motorcraft or Castrol and have never had any issues with any Ford engine. Then again I feel more comfortable with 5,000 to 7500 oil change intervals. As long as it has the Ford approved number on there. But I would be pissed if I wanted...

Just out of curiosity, I was reading Reddit and the Ford Mustang ecoboost forums because I want more info on the 2.3. Some of those guys with the fast back base model mustangs are getting mid 30’s highway mpg. Not just one or two, that seems to be easily attainable if you stay out of the turbo...

That’s true. But growing up in the salt mine that I did, I’ve seen my fair share of rusted out bodies. The aluminum was actually a selling point for me.

She She’s a beauty. I love the single cab look. You’ll still get pretty decent highway mileage with her if you take it easy, especially with the cylinder deactivation.

Yes indeed. The aluminum makes a big difference. And it’s huge for guys who live in the rust belt. I’m shocked they didn’t go that route with the GLOBAL Ford Ranger? Too much cost?

Yuhsir. Where I live Lifted trucks with tires sticking out 6 inches passed the fenders is almost as common as SUV’s. They love to race, which is kind of comical when they’ve set their vehicles up for less speed and maneuverability. The only advantage that I’ve seen is when there’s flooded roads...

Tacomas are sweet vehicles if you like gear hunting transmissions, underpowered engines, underwhelming gas mileage and sitting on the floor. It’s also got that renowned reliability bro ?

It might just be Ford in general. I think as far as durability goes I trust Ford engines more than General Motors or Mopar, but I can’t say the same for the quality of the rest of the vehicles. I’ve had 4 brand new Ford Vehicles from 2015 until last year. Cars to an F150. I actually was pretty...

Jesus, curb weight of 5000 lbs? Wow. You can order some F150’s almost a thousand pounds less. Not even sure I’d want the 2.3 with that much weight.

Yep. Get me the fuck out of here. I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of the desert and the dryness, lack of humidity, but the flatness and lack of vegetation is killing me. I miss Appalachia. Not to mention exactly what’s described on here - good country driving, with relaxed speeds and good gas...

The single best truck bed in the business is probably the Honda Ridgeline, because of the trunk and swing tail gate. Both would be super pragmatic and I could see myself using both a lot. One thing I wish Ford has over anything else is the swing gate.

I had side work to do on Wednesday night and purposely waited until 10pm to go in. The later it got the worse the roads got, but at least there were no cars on the road. Other drivers scare the shit out of me when there’s inclement weather. On the way home some dude blew passed me on the highway...

Good catch. Wonder where the video is taken. Geography looks a lot like the Southern Tier in NY.

But my vote goes to New Mexican drivers. When I see a New Mexico plate I approach with caution and grip the goddamn steering wheel.

Absolutely. I’m from a rural area up north and I’ve always had manners driving too. I find it’s the same way here. I can usually tell a native West Texan by how they drive lol.

But there’s only friendly drivers here in Texas.

It amazes me that so many people where I’m from have never experienced what dedicated winter tires can do (not saying that’s you). They’ll make comments about such and such vehicle is great in snow, this one isn’t etc. all while neglecting to mention the tires. It boggles my mind. How can you be...

I’m moving back to the snow belt and my next truck will be 2wd. Traction/winter tires are more important than 8 wheel drive on shit tires. I want an FX2 (I do want the locker for around my property).

I probably wouldn’t have smacked the window, but I can’t blame you. Ive seen and had a couple of really embarrassing “other car” moments. Once in my early 20’s my mother took me to the local DMV to get license issue sorted out. After coming out and approaching a red Malibu, I saw the driver...

That’s why I originally got into a Taurus…..I totaled a Ford Focus by hitting a huge buck in NY. Damn car only had a click over 30,000 miles. I’ve never hit a bird, they seem to have better and quicker instincts than deer. The deer where I come from seem to be mentally challenged.
