I'm in the same boat that's why I never take the hard top or doors off--don't wanna chance it

It's probably because some one driving in front of you has the stock Goodyear Territory tires and they are still shedding stones and rocks

if you live in the Northeast and drive in the winter-- no matter what you drive your windshield is gonna take some hits--unless of course they do not salt or sand the road

Leaf Blower --no particular brand. Deep cleaning I use a Stihl BR-700

1. Drove on the interstate for the first time in 2 years. 2. Went more than a 100 miles and did not need to use 4 wd. 3. Got better than 16.9 mpg with all though plusses --it too stressful to drive on pavement--I think I am done for awhile

Based on what I know about cheaper oils they meet the basic requirements but it is clear they do not meet Ford's WSS-M2C961-A1 spec--because if they did it would state so. Now is that a problem --probably not but if I had a warranty claim I would not want to be in a fight with ford on whether...

Before running budget brand oils I would suggest doing a bit more research on what the differences are between budget oils compared to top brand oils-- particularly with turbo engines, extreme temperatures (hot and cold), and additive packages. As often is the case you get something that meets...

In two years only 1 state-- maine--can say it's never been on an interstate highway. It actually does not like asphalt

Run nothing but E rated tires since sidewall strength and puncture resistance is what matters up here. I never could tell the difference in the ride--I mean look at what your driving--a bronco is not known for it's luxurious ride characteristics. That being said you would not run them at 80...

How shit collects on the rear fenders --and in the winter they freeze up so you can't get the rear doors open.

no arguments here-- I was just pointing out the actual gains may not be as noticeable in the seat of the pants as often claimed.

Funny how there is the misconception that higher octane has any thing to do with actual fuel economy -- the bottom line is ----Octane Rating is a fuel's resistance to knocking. Higher octane ratings do not mean more energy. In fact all gasoline has the same amount of energy and there is no...

no truer words could be spoken if you own a "pavement princess" - but for some of us getting used to the 2.3 turbo lag off road sucks. Manual mode and 4 lo eliminates it but when you need tire spin why would you want to wait for it to spin up-- there is no lag in the 2.7

The two door with the 2.7 is available in the Stroppe model only-- been that way since 2025. The Auto 10 speed is the same transmission no matter which engine you choose.

Gotcha. For me I never saw any real difference in performance with higher octane-- I primarily use my Everglades for off road so that may explain why for me there is no difference. For us in the great white north E-85 is not an option anyways--but we do have non ethanol fuel which there is a...
