  1. The new Ford Eluminator gets my vote

    I would like to do this but on a more...interesting scale...either an old 1978 Ford Courier or better yet a Ford Pinto wagon. :)
  2. First Real Towing Experience. I'm Happy.

    the transmission braking on tow mode is great for sure. I also like the way the tow mode can save different trailer lengths as well. For the safety features I believe.
  3. Why is my MPG so "poor"?

    If I drive like a grandparent I can get over 24. If I drive like the folks normally drive around me, with 87 octane, in Houston, I get what I get...about 22.9-23.3. I throw my trailer with ATV on the hitch, I get down to about 21.5. No complaints from me. D
  4. I got a free 2021 Explorer with free gas for its lifetime to go with my Ranger.

    So I'm curious as to the performance? I think most of our departments in this area of Texas have multiple versions...standard patrol and then the high performance models that have the 3.0 turbo? How does it pull vs the charger? sorry for all the questions just curious :)
  5. Finally spotted one myself...maverick

    Kinda cute...especially sitting next to my old dirty Blue ?
  6. 2020 ranger. Less than 9k miles. Driveshaft bolts missing

    I'd replace them ASAP with something rated for 10.9 or better...those bolts from ace are likely 8.8 - that is the grade of bolt. Driveline components are really needing the higher grade.
  7. Racing To Buy A Gen 6 Ranger?

    dayam! I can see the tie-rod ends pointing in unnatural directions...that hurts
  8. The Car Shortage Is About To Get A Whole Lot Worse

    We have the ability to recycle quite a bit! I know that here in Texas there is a facility that can recycle and produce magnets...most of the rare earth magnets are manufactured in China. This company came up with a process that cleans up the ore from the scrap and can make new magnets from it...
  9. Racing To Buy A Gen 6 Ranger?

    I figure from what I've seen it looks like a bigger Maverick (possibly). And TBH I'd rather try to convince my wife to get a Maverick Lariat 2.0EB when our Civic 5 door finally takes a bow (at 63k that little civic has MANY miles left in her). D
  10. If you thought car dealerships have some crazy markups...

    agreed - walk away and find another dealer
  11. passenger seat removal

    has anyone tried removing their front seats - specifically the passenger side? thanks! D
  12. dealer telling me he can't install a part for what Ford Accessory charged me for install

    God FORBID if he mentioned the dreaded damper...then it would have gotten REALY out of hand. towpro, glad you got it straight. you will find many (but not ALL) folks working at a dealership exude awesome levels of confidence and mediocre levels of intelligence. :( D
  13. New Nissan Z - good potential but one big failure.

    As a kid I'd started going to work with my dad...first it was to DeMontrond Buick. Cool V6 and some V8 engines were awesome...at the time it didn't register but putting my hands on the tune up of a 1969 Buick GS400 wasn't a big deal...well...I was a kid...setting gap on plugs was cool :P Then...
  14. Tailgate Limit and loading Motorcycle

    Confirmed - they sent an email saying this to me when I was trying to figure out if I wanted to haul my KingQuad 400 in the bed. I finally said to heck with it. I rolled that way for a fair number of months until finally going to get a little 2k utility trailer. IMO alot safer and more...
  15. The Lima Motor I would say has proven itself.

    Seeing what the UK was able to do with the 4 cylinder Ford engines in their Escorts were awesome. Of course, some help from Cosworth never hurt :P
  16. Ranger sightings rare in US

    This area of SE Texas (greater Houston area and points north) I see them all over...heck even in our subdivision there is three now (incl mine). I see at least 3-4 on each trip on a freeway. The small town I live in has at least 5 others (not including the ones in my subdivision) we even...
  17. Wifi hot spot

    I can attest that ATT and T Mobile both have phones that can browse or provide hotspot as well as call at the same time no issues. I DO know that Verizon was not capable of that years ago but now they can I believe. Your phone heats up due to the battery discharging primarily. This can be...
  18. Plastic around infotainment pretty ugly

    if my wife saw that she would DEMAND it lol
  19. Loaded it up with firewood.

    heh...first time I've ever said I wanna see the wood brah. :P
  20. Toe wear noted on tires - 26k miles

    Hey everyone gotta question. 2WD no lift no aftermarket suspension parts on my truck. The Bridgestone Dueler HT's are showing, to me, an abnormal level of inner tread wear. No feathering, just wear. This is toe correct? Is this due to, from what I was able to find, the suspension being set for...
