Good to know - thanks!

It is surprisingly difficult to re/open accounts when not in the USA physically. Sad but true. I was able to open one at a small local bank with a manager I happened to graduate high school with. She helped with setting things up and we're looking at starting a secured card + secured loan to at...

Very good to know! Thanks for the info.. 16.5 years is impressive for any vehicle. Its almost a blow to the face because that's well within the period that I held a rather negative view of Ford in general.. that is almost unprecedented with any Chevy I've had! I'll be honest I tend to drive...

Haha well.. planning to keep things pretty basic. I don't want the FX4 package - it's mostly for hauling, towing and long trips. Got a little one so the things I'd likely want to improve: Horsepower - possible to get 300hp out of it rather than 270 maybe? Ride - better shocks or whatever is...

A van may be in the future, but it doesn't fit our immediate criteria. I don't need offroading but I've got two rather heavy trailers (one built on a Model T rear axle) that I need to haul. As we're just moving back I'm going to have a crapload of stuff to get out of storage and a van isn't...

I prefer any solution that doesn't have a server logging my engine start preferences.. lol As a software engineer I try to separate things as much as possible: mechanical should remain as such, and same with software. Not a fan of all the over-the-air communications and software in most...

I sort of figure the car seats will be a tight squeeze. I'd wondered what the difference would be in space between the ranger's SuperCrew and the f150 SuperCab. I've been comparing XLT+ Ranger vs F150 XL but keep looking at the V6 until I learn it can be a problematic engine. The overall size of...

Thanks for all the info guys! I think with the spacing of the kids I'd likely have the Ranger long enough with just 1/2 that having 3 would be in rare cases and my wife would probably have a larger 7 seater SUV at that point. As far as comfort, obviously they'd have their own seats, then...

Nice! 25mpg ain't bad at all for a truck. Does the locking differential affect your mpg and/or ride quality if not used? How often would you say you use it in the snow? Obviously that's an Indiana problem as well.. What still confuses me is that we used to have a 1998 blazer with the 4.3 v6...

Woops.. looked like I skipped over this.. Currently I don't have a Ranger! I drive an Escape and came here looking for info on the change to a Ranger .. hopefully it's the right place!

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. That turbo help you out a lot at the altitude shown? I'm guessing that is one of the advantages over the n/a V6's.. Bookmarked Line-X, looks pretty good - again, thanks.

Hello all! Stumbled on this forum doing a bunch of midsize truck research and I'm glad I did! My 2014 Escape SE 1.6l was/is my first Ford (despite my cousin leading their engineering department for years, my family has been filled with GM diehards). I've liked basically everything about it...
