No running boards on my Bronco. If I had them, I'd remove them. But every damn time I drive the wife's F-150 the running boards jab me in the ankles.

Nothing. Bronco is so much friendlier to get into/out of than the Mustang. Much as I love the 'Stang, my lower back is not pleased with having to crawl into a vehicle that low to the ground.

Why would my turbo even be spooled up while parking? This makes zero sense.

So an XL or STX trim F-150 key. Which is why my wife likes her STX so much (pushbutton start is way too "high tech" apparently)

It certainly does not hold gears longer, my right hand does that. I don't know about the 4-Auto thing, as I don't have that either. If I had an auto-matic, I'd shift it into Sport every time I start the vehicle, since it also disables AS/S. But if Bronco only came in an automatic, I'd be...

You can start the Bronco in gear (neutral/safety interlock disable) like a Tacoma or an old 60's Ford.

You should see my wife drive her F-150. I swear she thinks the accelerator is an on/off switch. God forbid you tell her she can actually feather the throttle.

Makes a huge difference in the wife's F-150. In town, in normal mode it simply races to try to reach 10th gear, while in sport you might still be in 6th or 7th. As a result, the F-150 also gets better gas mileage in Sport, because it uses less boost when accelerating.

It remaps the pedal. That's it. Doesn't make Bronco faster or more responsive. In theory it makes the steering stiffer but I can't feel the difference. In an automatic, I would use nothing but Sport because of the improved shift mapping. But if you row your own gears, all sport does is make...

I have not touched the silly GOAT mode dial in 3 years. But I never expected to either.

I have a manual, so as far as I am concerned they are all silly, and have never used a single one.

Taco generally wins because of the manual. The new Turbo 4 in the Tacoma is garbage though. And you can't actually order a Toyota like you can a Ford, GM, or Dodge. I don't see any options I'd actually want on the RR other than obviously a paint color that isn't white/gray/black. Looks like...

I don't buy vehicles with automatic transmissions. But man those rear fenders on the Bronco Raptor are ugly.

This makes sense. Mid-size market is very crowded, and Ranger really has nothing to differentiate . it. Though I admit the Ranger Raptor I saw last week looked pretty bad-ass Taco comes with a stick shift. Frontier comes with an NA V6. Colorado/Canyon is honestly a much nicer truck (hate...

I remember leaving the parking lot of an A&W once. Left hand turn, and I failed to realize there was an island. Boom, front axle goes over the median island. Boom, 2nd axle. Dad says well, keep going. Boom, boat trailer goes over the median. I almost miss that truck.
