I just wanted to revisit this post from over a year ago. So far so good, no further issues. And I USE this truck, it’s not babied. Camping, fishing, down trails, on the beach, and towing a +4100 lb boat regularly, launching and retrieving from some pretty steep ramps, some pretty rough. This...
I’m 40.
My first Ford was my first car. 1988 Thunderbird 5.0L. (Wish I had a pic) I learned to drive in a Pontiac Bonneville, and stick shift in an older Volkswagen Beetle.
Fords I’ve owned: 1995 Probe SE, 2005 Mustang GT, 2016 Mustang GT, 2019 Mustang GT.
Still own: 1986 Mustang GT and the...
Tow my 19.5’ Tahoe to the lake around once a week. Probably 4200lbs with fuel and gear on board. Ranger has no problem power wise, but it can get bouncy in the rear going over certain bumps. Should probably look into upgrading the rear shocks.
I’ll agree with that. The Sync system is garbage compared to U-Connect. Interesting that Ford is trying to really push the modern tech stuff with their powerplants, the Mach E with a ridiculous gigantic tablet glued to the dash, and a hybrid F-150 all that jazz, but they can’t even make a...
Very true. And I am exiting the sandbox and taking my money with me. All the soccer moms can have fun in their “Mustangs” without me. I’ll probably keep the old Fox, but don’t plan on buying another mustang again.
And on another subject, WTF is with the aggressive ads on the website? I can...
Massive disappointment with destroying the Mustang name. Also a long time Mustang guy here. I get mad just thinking about putting the Mustang name on a ugly fat 4 door crossover.
Uhh, yeah that’s what I meant with “I’m about done with Ford” And yeah, it is disappointing that Ford chose to ape the legacy and history of the Mustang to try to sell an electric SUV. I’ve been in the Mustang community for years, have owned 4, including the 86 GT that I still own. A lot of us...
No doubt, but I don’t care how simple it is to work on, I don’t want to have to be fixing crap constantly. And I don’t care what brand it is these days, parts ain’t cheap. So far this thing didn’t even make its first oil change before its first failure. And my previous Ford didn’t make it 10K...
Expensive repairs post warranty. Premature wear to the engine due to diluted oil. Coked up intake valves. Another driveshaft bearing failure or transmission damage due to unbalanced or incorrectly installed driveshaft. AC system failures (had this issue with the Mustang, thankfully still under...
Honestly, I don’t trust it long term. Besides all the low quality exterior and cosmetic issues the OP is concerned about which I agree with, I’ve already had to take mine in for a failed driveshaft bearing at only 2000 miles. Lots of stories about the fuel in the oil issue, but I haven’t even...
First daily driver Ford was my first car. 1988 foxbody Thunderbird with a 5.0. (Non HO) It wasn’t that fast, but could do sweet one legger burnouts all day long. Even now I still have a desire to get another 87-88 T-Bird someday and put the engine that’s in my Mustang in it and build a 351W for...
