A little, yes. But I was in a pickle with the Ranger blowing through coil packs and couldn't wait. Also I prefer not to buy the first model year of a new generation because of recalls and other kinks they need to work out. That meant I was going to spend a long time on a Schwinn until they...

I'm 6'1" and 280lbs. When I test drove one in 2019 I hated the seating position. Wasn't going to even try one this time around but I did. This time I didn't notice the Go-Kart seating position they have. But then this one has the 6 way electric adjustable seats so maybe that's it? I did get...

Actually no. Hated on Taco's as a Frat Boy Fuck Truck for a long time.

A while back when I dumped my Ranger and got a Tacoma, I promised an actual side by side comparison. Here it is. I've got a few tanks of gas through the Taco and about 3,500 miles on it now That's pretty evenly spolit 25/25/25/25 between surface streets, interstate commuting to work, road...

I have been conscious of this since I warped a set of front rotors on a 93 Ranger. Was loaded and pulling a Uhaul Trailer. Exiting the freeway on a downhill exit ramp. Had a long light at the bottom. I wasn't as on my A-Game and paying attention as much as I should and built up a ton of...

Since I traded Ranger for Taco - The Ranger suspension was rock solid on the freeway. Drove fast and handled fast like a sports car. But stock, it bruised kidneys and turned your liver into jelly on the trails. The Taco on the other hand absolutely FLOATS over terrain that the Ranger would...

They still make the Mustang and need to find something on that chassis to increase roduction / demand for Car Parts common across multiple platforms. I always thought Killing the Fusion was a bad idea (Lets Kill off our most successful Hybrid vehicle and then in three years announce a new...

Asked the wife where she wanted to go for dinner. She was hungry but not that hungry. Maybe a place with good appetizers or we haven't had steak in a while. Let's be responsible and not go extravagant, save some money. But Taco Bell and In-and-Out are off the list. I haven't had Italian so we...

It's good. Engine is an absolute dog and going up in the Arizona Mountains and Hills the transmission sarts hunting for gears like its looking for the Donner Party but otherwise I do like it a little better than the Ranger. Suspension off road is amazing. Storage inside is fantastic...

This thread right here.... Exactly why I dumped my ranger and bailed out of the "Life Time Ford Customer Club." Too many issues on too many critical components and getting Ford to acknowledge anything was like pulling hens teeth.

WTF??? I come back to check on Dave's new ride and see all the cool stuff he's doing to it only to find out that he's taking off for a month? Getting a little "me time" in with his SO? How selfish! What about the 11 or 12 of us who are somewhere between passively amused to waiting on pins and...

OH! And the Taco has this one weird feature I'm trying to figure out. When I lower the tail gate, it just slowly and softly glides down to the open position. Kinda makes this quiet and peacefully meditative Shhhhh sound. So bizarre. ?

Off the cuff comparisons... Dimensionally the exterior feels bigger parking it where I normally park, but the interior feels smaller. Despite that, one of the reasons I Taco'd was because of the better layout of the space to store gear and crap inside the cab. When I moved out of the truck I...

More than the truck, I've loved this group. Great people and amazing knowledge. In anticipation of purchasing a Taco I started hanging out on their forums and I have to say, I won't be frequenting them unless I need to. Unfortunately the situation with the Misfire on CYL-1 and how Ford has...

And then I went out and bought a 23 Taco Today.

The most important feature for off-roading is 6" wide and sits between your ears. Upgrade that and you won't need half the stuff your truck has. People used to do fine off-roading in this all the time.

I always preferred the rounded muscular looks of a Toyota. Now it looks all angular and cheap.

I have that same laptop case but I don't keep a laptop in it.

Works for my other ride... ;-) You can't hardly see shit out of the back (and the front takes a little getting used to too). Wouldn't be possible w/o the camera. Let's also not forget this gem that was ahead of it's time with out a camera.

Yeah but.... The rear camera has allowed auto manufacturers to design cars that are much more ascetically pleasing but have horrible blind spots behind them. Not the kind that impact you in traffic, but the kind that make it hard to back up. The wife's car is like driving a bathtub. Her last...
