I remember the good ole days of 2022 when you could get a XL Supercab FX4. Now you can't even get an XL FX4, let alone a Supercab.
Not yet anyway. Remember, there were no Tremors in 2019, either.

Is that really necessary? Its not like we have to turn the hubs anymore. Its a knob to rotate… and one more automatic item to break. Give me awd or selectable. No auto crap. But to each their own.
No, it’s certainly not necessary, but it’s an option I would like to have, just like some people want leather seats or adaptive cruise control, which I could care less about. I drive my truck every week on a route that requires that I engage and disengage 4wd a couple of times before I get to the highway. I had a AWD vehicle before the Ranger and it was awfully convenient.

I have driven some GMs with auto 4x4 and it is not that impressive to be honest. Seemed clunky. If you haven’t tried it on the daily before I would recommend it. I prefer manual locking hubs too but I am a minimalist who oddly likes technology. Just not in my trucks. Sorry to come across brash.

My dad’s driven Silverados for the past 20 years and I’ve driven them quite a bit. I‘ve never noticed what you describe, but im sure there’s good ones and bad ones, like everything else.

no... no. The 2.7 is a v6 twin turbo that has been around for several years now.

Yup 2.7 has been around for years now and from what I gather from Reddit, the 2.7 turbo and 5.0 coyote seem to be the most reliable or robust engines from Ford at the moment. Would love that 2.7 on my Ranger.

At these prices they can probably make the same profit selling 2/3 of what they sold in the 5G era. Then push the others into a Maverick for some bonus cash.

Just built a new one as close as I could to my 21. Added the 2.7 engine. 47K. They are nuts. I paid 34 for my 21 and that was too much.

The price of these new trucks is just silly... and you're not THAT far off of F-150 money... which i know doesn't tick everyones boxes, but just throwing that out for argument's sake...
