still way too much for any Pirelli tire. after my experience with them, never getting anything with a Pirelli tire standard again

yeah, trust me, i know its not gonna happen. would be nice if it did, though. unfortunately, they almost certainly have enough lobbying power and money to make the EPA turn a blind eye

hopefully auto start stop goes away. the EPA should try to regulate private jet travel before road vehicles. while we're dealing with paper straws and auto start stop, after the super bowl, multiple hundreds of private jets flew anywhere from tens of miles to thousands of miles back home and put...

rusted rotors is normal, but crank pulley is absolutely not. everyone kinda sucks at upfitting now too. i think RTR uses Fox Factory for their upfitting, and from my experience, it's real hit or miss. it's either well enough made, or (from my experience) has broken trim, incorrectly secured...

save your time, a dealer will not be able to do this upgrade. and it's a lot more than just enabling something, it's different programming with new strategies from what i've heard. one of those things where it would've been better off ordering it with it

sorry about that happening. definitely sounds about right for Arizona, though; so many people hauling things with no regard for them. landscapers, rock trucks, the lot. i've heard good things about AZ HEAT if you wanna give them a shot

exactly. concepts are cool, but production vehicles are even cooler. because one is a showpiece, the other shows off what you can actually design and produce, with the latter being much more impressive

Local Motors is the OG with the Rally Fighter from 2009

it is visual only. it gives you some exclusive stripes, 3d printed titanium paddle shifters and dial shifter from the GTD, special interior with some admittedly awesome looking checkered flag pattern perforated suede recaro seats. only offered in Oxford White or Shadow Black. its like a GTD...

the first production run of the Dark Horse SC, so the second half of the 2026 model year, has an exclusive "track special package" for it, limited not only in model year production, but total production numbers. the hope is that once the 2027 model year comes around and that package is no longer...

yeah, i was hoping that would've been real too. but even if it was real, i doubt it would block under the table "i'm your favorite" money, because you can disguise that as an unrelated gift, or a tip or something

i have absolutely no chance now. there's 5 or 6 people waiting to buy one, over half of which are willing to pay $30k+ markups, and at least 2 are willing to pay $50k+ markups. almost all of them are Ford GT and/or Mustang GTD owners. i can only hope that the loss of the track special package in...

Avalanche is a non-metallic medium-light greyish-blue color. it has been around for quite a while, and seems to be one of the legacy colors Ford is bringing back, along with Ruby Red and Orange Fury. if you go to your local Ford dealer, you may be able to find a Super Duty in Avalanche

the paddle shifters are nothing more than switches that complete a circuit, which signal the PCM to request an upshift or downshift. if it's saying "HIGH", my first assumption is that something is happening where both switches are completing the circuit, even if not pressed. i would double check...

from what i've seen, their equipment installers may be subject to the same limitations, at least on non-purpose built vehicles. i heard about an unmarked Mustang come in to a dealer saying one of the taillight bars would go out intermittently. sure enough, some idiot decided that the ideal place...

it's gonna get expensive quick. likely gonna need to swap out your SCCM and clockspring, and of course the steering wheel itself. then you gotta change a bunch of settings in various modules with FORScan to tell it it has a heated steering wheel now. and even after all that, there's no promise...

that price is very right. Ford almost always has obscenely high parts pricing, even dealer cost. then there's the MSRP for it, and most parts departments have a matrix markup too, which gets higher the cheaper the part. but i think at this price level, the matrix is really low or 0%

a policy i will always follow is "MSRP or no sale", not including dealer add-ons or extra warranties of course. and so far, i'm 2 for 2 with vehicles ordered vs ordered vehicles purchased at MSRP. here's hoping that if i get to order one, the DH SC makes that 3 for 3. i always employ a tactic of...

most vehicles with iron brake rotors have a little metal bit on the brake pad that will serve as an audible wear indicator by screeching when it makes contact with the rotor. this would be disastrous on carbon ceramic rotors, so most or all manufacturers that use carbon ceramics have a...

yeah, those are just my reasons. supposedly carbon ceramics last 100k+ miles on street driven vehicles, the brake pads are just sacrificial to keep them alive. this is also why vehicles with carbon ceramics have the "brake wear" icon, because doing it the way iron rotors do would destroy them. i...
