Matt, you regularly get 400 miles on a tank? How!? Man, I have to try to get 350 miles on the highway! I usually average about 22-23 hwy mpg, and when I do fill up, I usually put in about 16 gal or so. So that puts me in the mid 300s for highway range. I'm impressed that you hit 400 miles, you...
Technically 31.6" but most tire manufacturers sell their 265/70R17 tires as "32's". Just how the 5.0 Coyote engine isn't quite 5.0 liters but Ford still calls it the "Five Oh"
Sure, it's only 0.8" lift from the factory, but isn't the fox 2.0 pack a coilover system? So you can just easily adjust it to get another inch or two of lift?
Not necessarily, since 265 only refers to the section width of the tire. But 265/70R17 is the most plausible tire size choice since it has a 32" outer diameter and it's only one size up from the stock tire size. 265/70R17 will fit in the wheel well without modifications to the crash bars either.
I think the addition of the multi-leaf in the rear is the biggest deal with this package. Fox 2.0 is nice, but you could have always bought that yourself. Aux lights are cool, but again, most people can get by without those. Rear tow hooks are nice, but you can get away with having just a tow...
Agreed that you may be confusing the symptoms with turbo lag vs drive-by-wire delays. I'm in MIchigan so I haven't really driven the truck in triple digit heat nor is the AC ever blowing like crazy. OP, I recommend you do the following test:
Find an open/rural road and coast at about 30 mph or...
Yeah, I have a touchless car wash near me with an underspray option that I go to regularly during the winter. I was just a little concerned because I already do take the precautions. Oh well, I guess time will tell! And yes, thanks for your concern on the boot - dealer already told me it was...
So dealer called me this afternoon and they said that they'll replace it under warranty. No big deal, sometimes the most random components fail, but I'm glad it did while it'd under warranty.
Thanks Phil. I was thinking about scuffing some of the rust spots off with a wire wheel rotary tool and touch it up with some enamel paint. Do you think it will help prevent further corrosion to prevent for the winter? Or will I be doing more harm than good?
Hey guys, so I was doing an oil change over the weekend and I was doing my usual inspection when I noticed something pretty odd. My front prop shaft (drive shaft between the transfer case and front diff) had a torn boot. Any body else run into this issue? I dropped it off at the dealer this...
Man, Subaru Baja Turbos are GREAT cars and they would sell so well if Subaru brought it back. Right car at the wrong time. They're extremely difficult to find and still pull a ton of cash.
Congrats Tom! You probably sold it at the ideal time. Ranger inventory (new and used) is low everywhere since the plants shutdown in April/May. I would imagine that in the next few weeks production will be catching up and Carvana won't be offering as much.
I was curious too last week and I got...
