Yeah, welcome to the Donut hole of the federal tax code. Last couple of years it's been "missed it by THAT much.

Yeah, and if your undisciplined buddy would have just laid off the Pringles, eaten a few more salads, he could have saved room for 1 extra bag of cement, but NO... he has to be stuck on "body positivity" :-/

Two things can be true at the same time. The batteries _are_ bigger - at least bigger spec, some may not be larger in physical size or heavier, but, the battery operating the starter must be able to handle the duty cycle. Same with the starter. Now, that said, all the integrated networking...

I'll bet it's well north of $20 to have AS/S. I don't even think the switch is a separate part any more is it? If it's an integrated solid state piece, that's not 20 quid ( quid are like bucks, right? ) '17-'20 when Ford rolled it into more models, it was a switch. You could reverse it to...

Don't be this guy: That's a book case, and no, it is not secured, but don't worry, the driver is holding it with his right hand. As to how many wheels and tires you can fit... Pictures. Or it never happened.

Watching for the lols and inevitable S650 hate from the S550 worshipers... 🍿

The Mustang's traction control will cut throttle if you get sideways. In sport mode, you'll get a little more slide before the fun gets stopped. Even in very cold temps, the S650 is a very communicative chassis and suspension. I can tell when the Torsen is fighting to get traction, when the...

Ditto for here, but we're both leaving out one key point. People had to get over their reticence to buy vehicles that had a reputation as "cheap". Also, there was a long lingering anti-Jap sentiment here. That sentiment was omnipresent in the families and friends of WW2 veterans. As when I...

We have 2x Fords and one Lincoln. They all behave this way. We have a lot of hills so they get a bunch of work dimming an reengaging high beams.

They are also great for White Broncos and windowless white vans. So I've heard.

Aside from the Mustang, Ford and child brands have not been competitive in the car market _here at home_. Look at their lineup: Trucks, SUV's, vans & cars. Lincoln has all SUV's since 2020. The Mustang is the lone exception as it survived against the F-body and though sales are not setting...

And the MSRP were stupid to begin with b/c the US .gov was trying to shove EV's down everyone's throat, with Ford, Dodge, GM all willfully complying. Every model they developed were money losers and the loss had to be amortized across the model lines. A new Raptor R is a great truck, but it...

Meh. I resurrected a 13 year old thread on FRF :-P

Hard to believe the same folks paved the Alps passes. I think I had a chance to ride 6 of them, maybe 7. Bang for your buck, it's among the most fun you can have with a vehicle. Ever. Literally, you can go from >1000 year old alleys masquerading as roads to some of the finest paved, curve...

Which one, Cube or T ? ;-)

TBF, the Roman empire was not big on heavy duty pickup trucks back in the day. In the Olde country, you can walk, ride or drive on roads that could be 100 years old, or close to 2000 years old, obviously some are more drive-able than others. Ours in the US are comparatively new on average. I...

And this was exactly my point. I agree 100% Ford should fix it and your dealer is underperforming. This should concern them seemingly, however it doesn’t. My point was to illustrate that there’s more than one way to skin a cat sometimes the pain in the ass factor overwhelmed the cost.

Certainly that's possible, but unlikely. Someone has to make the trucks that Americans want to buy and need. I regularly see heavy duty Chevy/Ford/Ram dually trucks hauling loads inconceivable on 'B roads'. Probably 3/4 the size of a semi trailer. This is how a lot of equipment, livestock...

Like Hammond said - "The prince of darkness" - aka, Lucas Electrics. Ford definitely has QA & QC issues to sort through but when they do I think they'll be well positioned. Ford's bread and butter is the F series. It's hard to go 1/4 mile in Texas without spotting an F series. When they start...
