I, too, have thought about this. I’m not worried about saving money on tires, but a decent ride quality without sacrificing much off road capability is the driving factor. Then, I just go back to the thought Ford has it mostly figured out, so maybe I shouldn’t mess about with it. I can only...
At least with the base 2 door you can get the manual, and thus 4.46:1 gears. Base 4 door has auto standard, and 3.73:1 gears. I definitely would have done the base model 4 door manual and 255/85r16 tires. That 3.73:1 gear ratio is a straight up deal breaker though. As soon as you pay for new...

This is a real deal. I supply an electronic control unit to a vehicle manufacturer. I told them last month they should place a order soon, as the chip crisis is getting worse. We already had to change design due to the back order of a CAN transceiver. Well, they drug their feet and now the main...

Our current Kodak Canvas tent for my family of 5 will be a...
I have been kicking around similar thoughts, but ended up placing an order for a 4 door Base SAS.I tried talking myself out of the SAS package, but even my rational, pragmatic side failed to do it.
YES but I’m a Floridian... well some of the Appalachia folk refer to us as Floridiots which is cool too... will you guys tolerate a few of us Floridiots?
