I rescued my mailman stuck in ice and snow with GoTreads, the foldable traction boards. Bought for my Subaru adventures, will keep for my Ranger adventures.
I'd at least compare their weights, which will give you a sense of performance hit and MPG reduction. For some reason, the Falkens are heavy for an AT, compared to other ATs. I was seriously looking at Falkens, the Toyo AT3 then I found out about Firestone Destination XTs. In a C load, true 32"...
Toyota tax, too low and uncomfortable drivers seat for those over 6' tall, uncompetitive motor/transmission and MPGs compared to Ford.. those are the reasons I excluded the Tacoma from consideration.
Seems the Frontier is a nice truck, though I haven't sat in one or drove it but they get good...
I've got a 8/22 build date, confirmed via email from Ford sent June 30th. I've gotten no further emails or notice of change of build date. The Ford Tracker seemed to work after a couple tries this morning. I found I have a window sticker, which I've since downloaded.
If this week's builds are...
Damn, 11 months and change. Your patience was tested, for sure. I think that's on the very long side, from what I believe I see as patterns from this thread. I'm sure you would've been happier with 6, 7 months wait.
I have a theory a thief won't look in a box of tampons. What does everything think? Good hiding spot?
Seriously, some bemoan the .380, but I suspect the car jacker will yield after receiving a few rounds from Ms. 'Elsie P,' aka Ruger LCP. I've seen what it does to various target materials, I...
Yeah, I understand the sentiment. I've read your posts of late! You're ticked, and I get it.
I can't remember if you ordered through a dealer, or if a dealer ordered and you have first right of refusal.. I found a dealer in an area with the lowest sales tax and advertised a simple order...
Yeah, E rated anything is crazy heavy, over 50 pounds, sometimes well over 50 pounds in the tire sizes folks consider for Rangers. From everything i've read (note, not experienced first hand) something like 15 pounds additional weight per corner will severely affect performance.
I'm hoping C...
I did not get a 'sorry for the delay' email some of shared. My build date is scheduled next week, 8/22. Ordered March 21st, so 5 months from order to build. Next variable will be delivery. Assuming 1 to 3 months to western Washington State?
Did you buy passenger (P) rated 33s? Do you recall their weight? Not that you had to choose, but I'd prefer a C load 31" rather than a P load 33" tire if use will include rocky and branch laden areas, e.g. the West. 33" tire will give you 1.25" of add'l clearance from stock (30.5" tire).
It'll...
That's right. You can also set this up, then erect your tent under it in inclement weather to keep yourself and your tent dry while doing so. You can park under it to fix something with shade or rain protection. You can set it over a picnic table at a 'paid' campsite, that is probably 20' away...
I know they're not as cool, but we use an inexpensive 10 x 10 pop up canopy. I can pop it up myself in a minute or two. Swing the canopy fabric over the top before you extend the legs. Extend legs and Bob's your uncle. Shade you can drive away and come back to (if any wind, quickly take down the...
Anyone inquire or order recently?
What did the dealers say about wait times on the major brands?
My Ranger build week is Aug 22nd. Guessing delivery could be anywhere from end of Sept to - 3 months out - November, God forbid! Hard to forecast delivery these days.
This puts canopy topper...
I wonder what Dodge has in store for a new mid size. Supposedly they're designing a new Durango. What would it need to cleanly outcompete a Ford Ranger? Same or better motor performance, same or better MGPs, same or better ride, interior, running gear.. for cheaper.
We'll see. So far, the...
