Do any Ranger models manuals actually say "if you leave the oil pan empty for more than 10min you have to follow this specific priming procedure"?
see...
Wow, long thread. Those MPG's are no better than a 1985 Chevy S10. Yes, 35yrs later, all new input controls, turbo's are back, better fuels, and yet 1985 still beats it in terms of MPG's. I suspect nobody is serious about how many MPG's a piston/gasoline vehicle is getting?
Funny though, 2rwd vehicles do have better control in snow when both wheels are not spinning at the same time. Hence, a locker really sucks on slippery ground. Traction and control are two totally different things, but if you have traction you definitely need control.
But then begs the...
It really needs to be true "Torque Vectoring" in order to get power to the one wheel that is not free wheelin. Wheels that are not touching the ground at all should have zero power put there. Maybe in the future Ford will have such?
The video of that blue FX4, did he put it into 4x mode to...
You were the lucky one to buy that rare lemon ;)
If Ford won't make the 2.7L a option for 2021 then I will gladly spend the extra $5k for a stage-I Rotrex kit for the v6 Tacoma.
And you are right, the v6NA on Tacoma is kinda sad, but then again, from a sales perspective, it does not matter that...
It was a question around the quality of FORD products, not specific to ranger.
If Ford cant get their flagship luxury product right, why would anyone think they could with the lower models that have the blue oval emblem on them? I could walk over to the Toyota dealer too and not find any visual...
Are you being generous with your 1985 v6 S10 engine power spec?
34 years of technology and mpg is still about the same (better in 1985)! Shocking huh:
2019 Ranger 20city/24hwy 22mpg combined
1985 S10 119cu.in 20city/27hwy 23mpg combined
I leave it up to you to figure out the HP to weight...
But perhaps you did not see my post about the quality issue. I did look at every vehicle in the group, about 8 vehicles, all had serious issue(s). I walked across the street to the Lexus dealer and not one vehicle there (about 60 of them) had any visual issue. So if you want to discuss this Ford...
If the words used are not "ranger ranger ranger" you call it "trolling".
They are all just low grade trucks, does not matter if its a Ford or Toyota, they are all nothing special at all. but you'll surely defend "Ranger" because its the one you own and drive, and then call everyone else a troll...
If the 4cyl had the 2.7L output, i'd buy the 4cyl. I am done buying these fairly large small pup's with low engine output.
2.3L eco 270 HP/310 lb.-ft Torque
2.7L eco 325 HP/400 lb.-ft. Torque
3.5L Toyota w/ Rotrex 365 HP/ near 450 lb-ft Torque
I do prefer a SC over turbo for gasoline trucks...
Who said T6 was "an old platform"?
As for liking the 2.3L, what does your liking the 2.3L have to do with engine options? Will assume if there was two engines (2.3 and 2.7) you would have picked the 2.3. I would pick the 2.7. However, I will not be buying 2021 Ranger if it's only engine option...
