I can see marketing coming up with Ford "Scratch and Dent" special days.

I see a simple economics and manufacturing problem with a mostly build to order model. Basically, efficiency. It is easier and more cost effective to build 1,000 units of a certain model with certain equipment packages in a particular day than it is to build 1,000 one up models. Just the added...

I would not be surprised if the logger had voice recognition software looking for keywords in conversation in the cabin. Probably want to know what topics are being discussed or what radio program you are talking back to. Don't laugh. There is lots of money to be made out of what seems...

I have to admit they are persistent. I just got a second invitation to have a data logger installed. Sorry! No thank you. Not interested. It is bad enough with all the electronic tolling, optical license plate readers, etc. I think I am tracked enough. In fact, a little too much. Never know...

I get around 21/22 MPG in mixed city/highway driving using 87 octane. Albeit, I am still in the triple digits on the odometer. I find that the sweet spot for maximum gas milage on the highway is 58 MPH in cruise control and the computer reported 25/26 MPG. (I live in the land of 55 MPH only)...

I heard Honda was planning to source their EV sleds from GM. I immediately did a face palm and wondered if Honda was intent on committing Seppuku.

I am sort of thinking creating a stealth stock mod thread in jest. So far that seems to be what I have done. I have added the tailgate dampner, the auto-stop deactivator and the engine cover. None of which can be seen by just looking at the truck. I actually have a center console tray insert...

I must be in a Ranger desert. I just took delivery of my Ford Ranger on July 6th and usually when you get a new vehicle you start seeing them everywhere. Not here. Lots of F-150s and RAM 1500s (most prevalent truck around here for some reason). Absolutely no Rangers except for the old decrepit...

Today I learned that "Rapid Red" is Ford paint code M7444 and that the Lincoln division also uses the same exact paint but they call it "Red Carpet". The actual paint is made by Ditzler PPG and their code for the paint is 952073. Here is a link with more information...

I just joined the Ford Ranger club today. I took deliver of this 2021 Ranger XLT with the 302A, tow, Sport appearance packages and Ford hard rolling Tonneau cover. I haven't had a pickup since 1987 when I had a Nissan SE King Cab 4x4. I never paid extra for a color but the Rapid Red just...
