Sold my 2003 ST1300 and 2008 CBR1000RR for a 2016 CRF1000L Africa Twin

I thought Ford was cracking down on dealers pulling this BS?!?! I’ve read some studies that this not only damages dealers ability to retain these sales as a repeat customers, but also damages the brands too. No way would I pay a penny over MSRP and same goes for dealer add-ons. Was looking...

FYI… machine on the assembly line broke and vehicles left the line with lug nuts improperly torqued. https://www.carscoops.com/2023/04/ford-recalls-2023-bronco-ranger-after-wheel-falls-off-allegedly-hits-another-vehicle/

Would love to know what you’re running for rocker protection with the step built in? Looks awesome and functional. The stock Tremor rocker protection with the steps hanging down is just asking for trouble.

100% agree! It’s absolutely appropriate considering the Tacoma is the overwhelming segment leader (still scratching my head on that tidbit) and the Ranger’s biggest competition. Plus Toyota is actually providing some details on their next generation truck… something Ford clearly hasn’t done...

I work at a large manufacturing plant that supplies large equipment to the power industry (steam turbines, generators, stators and gas turbines). Our main office building has at least 10 parking spots with free charging on a first come first served basis. One engineer I work with almost never...

I’m going with a troll posting fake news! Ford might have patented self repossession, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a thing yet.

Yeah, I’m hoping Ford can right their ship soon. Between all of the recalls and botched new vehicle rollouts, it’s even giving me second thoughts about buying a new Ford and I’ve been pining for a new Ranger for years. Add the supply chain mess and the inability to produce enough vehicles to...

Saw one for sale at Tindol Ford in Gastonia, NC last Saturday. 350 HP of light weight badass machine! https://www.tindolford.com/used-Gastonia-2016-Ford-Focus-RS-WF0DP3TH9G4113901

Those are wearing Eruption Green, not Forged Green. Forged Green is much darker.

2” wider and 2” longer wheelbase. Actually a wee bit shorter (not longer).

I have been wanting a new Ranger since the 5G made its debut in other markets in 2012. Then NA 5G came with no SuperCrew/longbed configuration… disappointed again. So pining away for 6G Ranger still hopefully for a SuperCrew/longbed configuration, especially after seeing that configuration in...

I can’t agree more!!! I’ve been holding out for a SuperCrew/longbed since the 5G Ranger came to the NA market. Now if this configuration is available in a Tremor package and a hybrid it will check all my boxes.

Looks like production for this generation Ranger is coming to a close. Last day to place an order for a 2023 Ranger is January 26th… https://fordauthority.com/2023/01/2023-ford-ranger-retail-orders-to-be-shut-off-next-week/

I was just going with what Flated called their own product, the “Air Topper”. I grew up in western PA and we called the rigid, hard shell bed covers “caps” and canvas covers, “canopies”. All do the same primary function, just different names for different designs.

Yeah, from what I’ve gathered it is the same technology used in inflatable standup paddle boards. Inflatable SUPs are surprisingly rigid and durable and this is definitely a clever design that I’d consider down the road. I came across the Flated topper about a year ago and when I saw this...

I thought this inflatable one from Flated is pretty cool. Lightweight and stow it away when not in use. Same problem as a canvas topper though (Not as secure as a hard shell and still pretty pricey). https://getflated.com/products/air-topper-midsize-longbed?variant=42820799594664

I can’t see why anyone in their right mind would buy a Taco personally??? Horrible seating position, cramped rear seat in the crew cab and dated interior. I can go on….gutless and underwhelming drive train, only fair MPG and not even class leading payload and towing. I’ll round it out with a...

My current daily driver is a ‘02 F-150 SuperCrew (purchased new 21 years ago next week). Due to the current F-150 SuperCrew increased size and price, I’m hopeful the next generation Ranger will be my next truck. My previous truck was an ‘94 XLT SuperCab Ranger, but I moved up to the F-150 when...

The main thing I like about auto shows is the ability to sit in vehicles within a short period of time to compare interior space. Went the Charlotte Car Show with my son on Nov. 18th. No new GM twins or a Ranger in the Ford area. Although there was a XLT SuperCrew Ranger in the Roush booth...
