Mine is a 2005 Focus ST. The less exciting successor to the SVT Focus, though they were produced in similar numbers. It came with a 2.3L Duratec, as opposed to the 2.0 in the regular Foci, and stiffer suspension. It has a cool (louder I guess) exhaust from the factory also.
It’s not really that...
Thanks, I originally wanted a blue one, but I found this one at a local dealer and it spoke to me. It never looks dirty even if it is (excepting mud). The only downside I have seen is it doesn’t shine deeply like darker colors when washed or waxed, though this is minor.
The interior is nicer IMO, though I have an XLT Ranger and he got the top Ridgeline trim, so take that for what it’s worth. It also seems to be put together a little better, such as the doors make a more pleasant sound when closing. I think that’s more of a Honda vs Ford thing, though. In my...
Haha, yeah. I’ve driven his Ridgeline and it’s actually really nice, though I wouldn’t have bought one. To me it seems like a good candidate for lowering/handling upgrades. Like a Miata truck. The in bed trunk is really nice also, but I digress.
The Eibach rear shocks are great I think. They really settle down the ride. To me it feels like the stock front struts absorb bumps and the rear Eibachs stop the truck from wiggling so much. The ride is a little harsher, but much more stable.
My dad has a garden for growing tomatoes...
Here is my SuperCab. The only real mod I’ve done is some Eibach rear shocks.
I’ve definitely used the extra foot of bed more than I’ve needed the extra passenger space.
Side note: The 6 foot bed is the perfect size to fit 6 bales of straw (at least the ones that come from Lowe’s nowadays).
I got the Ford OEM molded mud flaps and had to drill a few holes in each fender. I put the mud flap on with the screws/clips, then used a 1/4 inch drill bit to drill the holes. The fenders are plastic and the drill bit shouldn’t go in far enough to touch anything else so I wouldn’t worry too...
Here’s mine. The license plate lights at night remind me of the introduction of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek The Motion Picture and all of the Enterprise numbers were taken in Virginia. So I settled for the USS Defiant numbers from TOS (and the best Star Trek: Enterprise episode). No one on...
I’m replacing my 2005 Focus ZX4 ST. I love that little car, but I wanted an upgrade and at 178000 miles, I’m not sure I want to spend the money for the things that will surely be breaking in the future. The good news is I’m giving it to my dad, so I know it will be well cared for.
I installed the Ford OEM molded mud flaps yesterday and got a spray in bedliner today.

I do miss the lovely Oxford White in the bed, but this makes it much more usable so it had to be done.
Hey folks,
I bought my Ranger 2 weeks ago today. Its a 2020 XLT FX4 SuperCab with the 300A base package. Maybe its not the most luxurious model available, but its enough for me. I can't wait to rack up the miles on it. Happy to be a part of this community. I just need some mud flaps, a spray in...
