My experience came in a Mercedes SL550. Head on from a Dodge Dakota at around 50 mph. We both were able to open our doors and walk out. I ended up with just a cracked sternum from the steering wheel, but no long term injuries. Bought an F150 after that.

I used CarGurus. Probably cod have done better private party, maybe better with trade in. But I didn't have to deal with people coming to my house pointing out every flaw (see thread about weld spatter on muffler) just to get something off. In the end what I found is CarGurus is just a...

It depends on how much you trust the other 1000 things the warranty covers. I just got out of a land Rover before the electronics and ecu, trans ctlr and other items started kicking my butt. When I bought the ranger I added the 100k coverage figuring the per.mile.cost in both dollars and sanity...

Just use an add-a-fuse to a switched circuit in the fuse box.

I had a set of AT3s on my Land Rover Discovery TD6. They were great both on road and boat ramps. In the limited snow I get they were more than capable. Definitely on my.list to replace the Hankooks.

The adaptive cruise in my Infiniti did the same thing.

I just did a 5200 mile trip in the opposite direction. Virginia to Yellowstone. I'm sure you'll have a great time like we did. The ranger did great in the mountains.

Just parted ways with my G37. It was fun while it lasted, but I have been having a blast with the Ranger.

I fully agree that's what it says in the manual. But that is not how it's working in my truck. When I start the truck, I get the "Auto Stop disabled by switch" message on the dash and the button on the console is lit. Maybe the previous owner did some programming, but I bought it with 8k miles...

Interesting that my 21 Lariat leaves the button on the last known position. I disabled it the day I left the dealer and it's been disabled since. I don't reenable it each time I start the truck.

Over on ththulltruth boat forum everyone is waiting for the boat bubble to burst. There's been some shifting and lowering prices on used boats but new top end boats still have people on 3 year build slots.

26' Carolina skiff ultra elite, Suzuki 300ap outboard, now mount trolling motor, 5 (yes 5) group 29 lead acid batteries. Aluminum I beam trailer. Single axle surge brakes. Best guess around 6200 pounds with full fuel (80 gals) and full fishing load.

I just got back from a 5200 mile trip out west. All stock truck, 2021 lariat fx4. Hand calculated each tankful. Overall average 24 ( okay, 23.998), that was starting at 1000' msl (Virginia) up to 8000' msl (Yellowstone). I saw a high of 28 on low speed around the park days. I had a low of 21.5...

I'm pulling a 26' bay boat and didn't find an issue pulling 6200 up hills. Just be careful on narrow roads. Also, make sure your surge brakes are in good nick.

I don't care about hed length. It's all about towing for me. I bought a SCREW because occasionally I have grandkids and a big dog to haul around. 90% of my driving is grocery and sightseeing. About 10% is serious hauling of a 6200 pound boat, mostly less than 250 miles. So I found a truck that...

All I can say is my 1977 Piper Turbo Arrow had a service ceiling of 22000 feet because it could no longer maintain sufficient climb performance. I believe the non turbo had a service ceiling around 15k, but getting to that altitude took a long time. Turbo or not lack of oxygen creates a reduced...

Nope just a Mother's Detailing spray. Pretty simple and makes it a lot easier to get the bugs off. No affiliation with O'Reilly's or mother's. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/mothers/mothers-24-fluid-ounce-hybrid-ceramic-detailer/mth0/08264

A lot of it depends on distance, speed, and terrain. I tow a 6200 boat, with surge brakes around central Virginia. Lots of hills and usually 55mph speed limit. I just came from a land Rover discovery with the 3.0TDI. I had to pull the boat to the dealer last week with the ranger. My experience...

Took it to the dealer for an oil change and tire rotation. Went over the body with some ceramic detailer.
