I did a really rough trail this past weekend and never contacted the front airdam. The approach angle if you are being smart and using some off-center approaches is darn near 50-60*. I don't think the airdam really impacts approach angle much, if all, since its closer to the wheels than the bumper.

The 10 sp. definitely shifts more than your old 4 sp. or 6 sp. I notice the same behavior in the new Honda 10 sp., and Toyota 10 sp.

I have never actually noticed the fan engage in 6000 miles of ownership and despite towing with the truck.

We have a velocity blue Ranger, but if green were an option that would've been it for sure. I bet it is going to be beautiful with the ash gray seats.

In my all stock 21 STX 4x4 I find the front great for a truck but the rear is too stiff in fast compression and I think the rear is too soft in fast rebound. We don't rally the truck so even towing I don't see any witness marks from the bump stops, I think fewer people would complain about the...

Straw man & red herring. You're creating a totally different reason for not wanting dealers one that really doesn't exist and then debunking it as obviously bad. There's no reason why you wouldn't be able to see your drive a car before you bought it, Tesla has several showrooms around the country.

They decontented the truck by maybe $10, an LED light and a plastic bezel. That doesn't remotely compare to the gouging done by dealers. There's going to be zero gotches when it comes to Ford versus dealers, do you want to talk about the amount of bank fraud the dealer's perpetrate to get...

This. What are dealers rewarded for? They don't innovate, create, or invent. At least profits for manufacturers go to developing and building next-year's model.

My time is valuable, and the folks who pay more probably also value their time greater than a few hundred or maybe $1,000. Pricing will always be kept in check by the existence of several auto manufacturers. Dealer markups have shown us that the dealerships are the ones who tend to abuse...

Apparently many dealers make more, or as much, on used sales.

We've been moving and although our Ranger was Bulletlined before the bed was used, no dents have occurred yet. I'm guessing if you're tossing in sledge hammers or pallets of cinderblocks it'd dent, but 99% of uses shouldn't cause dents with a good bedliner.

I don't think anyone answered, but yeah larger tires and a lift will cause premature wear like the tie rod. However, tie rods are cheap, why not replace it to be safe and take it to a better shop?

Having towed a tandem (dual axle) and single axle camper with the Ranger, my 16' Scamp wags and bounces way more than the loaded dual axle uhaul did. I don't feel its unsafe or that it has swayed badly, just a characteristic of smaller single axle trailers.

Yeah, that's the sad reality. The OE headlights are permasealed. So, you can either dremel them open or buy something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B093RVXRTQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are sealed with butyl and come apart easy with about 18 mins at 200F.

Just an update: I had to install capacitors to help improve auto stop function and to increase start reliability. The truck doesn't like the occasional current spike. Low beam is extremely wide and high beam is incredible (think LED Lightbar brightness at around 6200 max lux on high beam). One...

I agree, but let's keep this in context. Ford charges a hefty $3,750 for 4x4 last I checked. It's about a 1:1 ratio for resale according to the used listings I looked at. Basically, you aren't making money speccing 4x4. Edit: it was over $3,800 when I just checked.

Go ahead. Like you said, I must not be too clever with this stuff. Show me.

Sorry for not taking your blanket assertions of opinion as fact. Do you have some proof of this, or an opinion by a court? Do you understand the difference between the two parts of Title 49? I laid it out earlier.

Here's a good primer on the area of constitutional law: Again, CFR 390.5 is a definitions section for that subchapter only That is Title 49, Subtitle B, Chapter III, Subchapter B, Part 390. (See here). The rule I linked to earlier is part of Title 49, Subtitle B, Chapter V, Part 571. It has...

Just to clarify, you can get a 2022 COLORADO 4WD Crew Cab, Short Box WT with a rear locker. It's a $325 option + $250 required trailering package. That's $33.8k MSRP.
