2022 Ford Maverick Production Has Officially Begun https://fordauthority.com/2021/09/2022-ford-maverick-production-has-officially-begun/

That's why I recommended also doing a title search. But also, threats of legal action should *always* be a last resort. My apologies for not presenting that more clearly. I do still think he should go in to the dealer with all of the gathered indicators that it appears to be a used vehicle and...

"Ford Pass app wouldn't authenticate my VIN because another user was already associated with the truck." I think this is key. As in, "none of the rest of the problems really matter". It really seems the dealer sold you a used car as new. If so, this is fraud. Pretty sure there are federal...

That is so awesome! Thank you Phil, for sharing it with us. Also I just noticed how low it sat - the top of the hood looks only waist high!

I wonder if they'll come out with the Ford Ranger GT next? Because, who doesn't love those 1980's style "ground effects" packages with air dams all the way around the truck, amiright?

I really wouldn't care if they did. The brony fandom isn't my thing, but really they aren't hurting anyone and hey, if it sells more trucks and keeps the Ranger sales numbers up, I'm all for it. To me it's like someone who likes different bands than I do. It's all just entertainment that we...

We both had kinda rough childhoods, so a big part of why we got together decades ago was we felt we could trust each other. Early on we fell into a system similar to yours, though I don't remember a specific dollar value. But the circumstances were similar. Also, at this point after more than a...

Just needs a little Bondo... (my condolences, it's rough to get a vehicle wrecked when you aren't even driving it)

...or over the bed rails to pick or place something, or tailgate, for that matter. On the other hand, a 1987 Ranger got worse mileage than ours and I would not want to get in a collision in one!

That's a 1998 Ford Ka that the company customized to support their LGBT employees. It reminds me of Simone Giertz's customized Tesla she named, 'Truckla'. Full write-up is here...

Uhmmm....the Splash was traditionally a flareside? This is just graphics & paint? Am I missing something here? I mean, it's not even as good looking as the #VeryGayRaptor from a few months back. "The Splash featured a flareside bed that echoed the styling of the 1950s cargo boxes, in which the...

To illustrate this, here's an old school ECM - engine control module. One of the simpler ones. I count at least 13 chips on this side of the circuit board. Most are off the shelf - but in short supply - and I see at least nine that are likely custom made or programmed for that specific circuit...

Just a side note, it truly amazes me how, despite the very high level of automation in IC and circuit board manufacturing, there's nearly always a step or two that is done manually simply because it was a deemed-necessary change after the initial run and it's cheaper to pay a person at the end...

Stumbled on this, after stumbling on a timeline of Ford Rangers, after reading an article about how much our trucks have grown over the years. The first Ranger XLT was in...1970. Sorta. Our trucks started out as a trim level of the 1970 F-100. It was the Lariat of its day. I should've known...

I'll have to check.

I'm only guessing, but based on other firmware I've played with the firmware option may only enable showing the feature in the dashboard cluster menu. If physically available, it would then need to be enabled in the dash menu as well. I have a 2020 XLT and it definitely has automatic braking on...

I can't find any specs on how fine it filters, so it's likely in the typical 100 microns range. The biggest plus is that it's meant to be washed, so in really dirty-air environments (dust, pollen, smoke) it pays for itself. If I was driving more now during the seasonal fires, I'd likely get one...

One word: FORScan Lite for Android Okay, that's four words. Still, it would be pretty cool if it ran directly on the console. Just my 2¢ : Android is just an OS that runs a Linux kernel. The OS itself is mostly released as open source under Apache License 2.0. Most of Google's control comes...

That's the marketing point of Ford's new ones, to also filter the air for breathing by increasing the filtration to something that they describe in words that sound like a KN95 mask. Subaru (& likely others) has used it as an active marketing point for a number of years.

How to know if it won't cause harm: If the difference between the circumference (ie outside measurement / distance the tire would roll in one revolution) of the old & new tires is less than 3% (that's the general rule), only replace the one. If the difference is higher than 3% there's a risk to...
