Doesnt matter of your claims about the Ridgeline vehicle.. oh its not a truck either ..that it may has a few % pts more of American sources parts etc. . That stuff changes constantly too! Honda IS NOT an has never been an American Co . Headqtrs is not in US. All Its profits go overseas. It's...
VW hasn't "invested" in Ford per say. It's a merger of sorts in a few key areas. They have history togethor. VW Is biggest auto Co in the world. Ford one of oldest. Both admire an respect eachother it's been said "around the industry". Expect much more in the future from this collab.
Ford & VW group have quietly aligned already & may further deepen those ties in coming yrs. Ford & VW have history togethor most dont know. Btw, VW really, really wants the current or future Ranger platform to put out there own midsize variant! They know a great truck when they see one. Most...
Thing is ..the Motorcraft Syn Blend Is excellent as far as the "syn blend" oils go. SN+ rated now too! I tell alot of folks if your great about your vehicle maintenance schedules use it! Just dont ever go over 5k mis (esp in turbo DI apps) ! It's well known on bobistheoilguy.com its a terrific...
There a flash update avail. Call ur selling dealer service dept. Enjoy that truck.. there is no better mid size avail. Be sure use SN+ full synthetic motor oil.. any good brand.. an only motorcraft filters If possible. Insist at dealer or wherever. Or do as I do in NW Ohio & frequent same (good...
Hope you enjoy that sweet '20 Explorer! MY fiance very much wants a '20 Explorer ST soon ..as her VW atlas lease is up an she really wants a Ford ;) Loves driving my '19 Ranger. We looked at dealer inventory other day lots avail at moment. Pls see the guys response to ur concern..he says a flash...
Good to know! Thanks. Mine isnt really very much at all or I'm used to it. Truck just runs great an enjoy driving it every day! I will stop by my selling dealer here in Ohio soon an check on this update . Hope fella that was concerned with this reads ur reply.
Haha not a chance. Its not even a thing. Its gonna be a very turbulent yr for ALL automakers make no mistake but as all in the industry know..I've worked in auto industry over 25yrs in many capacities for big companies.. Ford is healthy as any of Big6. They just always under scrutiny as a...
Its only audible at low rpms dude.. an got more faint as mine got mis on It. All engine designs have there own unique characteristics. Hope ur running only an SN+ rated motor oil!? Motorcraft semi-syn is plenty adequate but a FULL SYNTHETIC should be mandatory on all these high tech EcoBoost...
Normal characteristic of that engine. Doesnt sound bad but I noticed . Seems get more faint as motor breaks in .. or I notice less. Lol. Just keep breaking it in easy an switch to a good SN+ rated FULL SYNTHETIC 5w30 asap ! I did at 850mis. Still use only Motorcraft filters they are very good...
Absolutely no evidence of that ..an why would it even be suggested? Ford trucks are rolling out ALL NEW F150 model next yr. Hybrid & all electric to follow! All New Rsnger a yr after that as '22 model. Our current Ranger design more than good enough for next 2yrs amongst competition. My '19...
Who in the hell knows. No Honda corporate paid plant or troll i don't think..altho the Japanese manufacturers have been accused in past of paid trolls (on enthusiast sites etc) no joke. Theres absolutely been Tacoma Works folks talkin BS on here thats well ! Im in automotive industry ..worked in...
The Ridgeline fan boy that brought this whole topic ( unwanted in my opinion) in all its ridiculousness to us & had some underlying agenda it looked like to me ..who signs up an goes on a very vehicle specific page to try an subtlety promote a POS fake truck can go away. No seeds were planted...
Some of the Ranger's many attributes & advantages over the competition besides its unbeatable, high- tech, superb performing Gen2 - 2.3L EcoBoost/10spd auto powertrain has been its quietness, comfort & smooth, plush ride quality. This not only my opinion but that of many dozens of professional...
I wouldn't watch this if ya pd me. Sorry, it's not a fair comparison or even relevant really in my engineering mind! They sell very low amounts of Ridgelines an mainly to former accord owners I imagine. Lol Honda known for economy cars both compact & midsize. They have more upscale Acura brand...
