Some one said, using D instead of S is faster. Well, that's simply not true. At least if you have Ford's Performance tune, and a few other goodies. Sports mode has the advantage, if you turn off both the traction and stability controls. Doing so, gains you about half a second to 60, and a bit...

In all honesty... In my in-town driving routine, I get about 17.5 if I drive respectively—as if a cop was behind me. On the highway (I've only made one short trip of about 90 miles). The calculated—not the dash rating—was about 23 and a fraction. Not bad all considering the trip. Now let us...

The bug just got off and flew away.

If you want good gas mileage, buying any truck isn't going to broaden your smile! The question remains: What did you expect?! Prius mileage with a dump truck weight limit? Let's be serious! Of course, you could buy an old Chevy Luv, say a 1972 model, and get about 23 or so MPG. But of course...

I've got Ford's Performance tune (slightly modified), and aftermarket cooler and pipes. If there is lugging, I've never noticed it, as boost is much quicker to build, and the downshifts are more or less immediate. At moderate speeds (30 to about 45), flooring the go pedal, results in a lot of...

Many years ago, when I was in high school, we had a saying which is apropos: It if don't go, chrome it!

Really? I have a decent tire pressure gauge (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pro-67395). It is within one pound of the APP's readout.

I'm as old as anyone here, and have been retired for 21 years. Having hobbies is one of the prerequisite needs for a happy retirement. What you shouldn't do is important too! If you smoke, quit! If you're a lounge potato, get off your fat arse! Don't drink as much as you used to! If you're...

Graphics? The only outward appearance item I added (actually removed) was the EcoBoost plaque on the tailgate. It now says, EcoBeast! Everything else I spent, went under the hood. Surprise!

I'm old enough to remember similar things happening, in the past. Funny how those gouging dealers are no longer in business, while the old standbys are still with us.

I can't speak for their's. The one I bought was custom made, so I can't compare it to others either. However, with no further tuning except for Ford's Performance Tune, you could indeed tell the difference in the seat-of-the pants.

Just keep in mind, the ownership cost difference between the Ford and the Jeep.

Let's see. The missing tray is just big enough to hold a couple of pens. Even then, they often roll out, and into the vastness of the center console, with all of the other clutter. I guess you want one like the F150 without paying the extra tariff?

Oh! And don't forget the missing boost gauge!!

I've done the stoplight derby with both of Toyota's trucks, even a brand new Tundra. All they ever see is taillights!

There are several things somewhat slicker than Astroglide, and a whole lot less expensive. It is called J-lube, but it is sold under several names. It is also the stuff Hollywood uses to make slime. It is a polyethylene polymer mixed with sucrose. A 10 Oz. jar is about $20 from Amazon, and...

I see things like this, and it brings out the engineer in me. First, how does the water get into the spark plug recesses? If you drive through really deep puddles, and forge through deep ravines, I suspect you might get water down the tubes, so to speak. The truth is, if the COP units are...

Before you BMC at Ford, why don't you drop down to your local Ram dealer, and look at the delivery dates for the TRX. Oh! While you're at it, look at the add-on dealer markup. $10K is cheap in comparison!
