Bill, thank you for your willingness to share with this community. As others have stated, I'm deeply saddened by your loss. It is definitely true that a vehicle is more than just the sum of its parts. It's a place where we spend an enormous amount of our time with our families, so the vehicles...
Lol, I have to admit "break-in" goes out the window anytime I test drive a new vehicle. I want and need to know if a vehicle has any....... well you know. If a vehicle doesn't at least put a little grin on my face when I test drive it, I can't buy it. Thus, I will be ordering the 2.7L lol.
Howdy brother. I have not heard or seen any comparisons between the Sasquatch Package and the Base suspension but there have been comparisons between the Sasquatch Package articulation and the Badlands trim articulation. If my memory serves me correctly, the Sasquatch package has rough 10...
The Lightning Blue FE looks killer except for the Navy Pier interior (gross). The BD on the other hand looks great except for those teeny tiny tires. The tire brand and make itself is great, just make it a 33 or 35 and it will look just fine. Ford, why oh why did you not make 33s standard with...
Wait, so the people determining the cost of automobiles are the individuals making over $200k per year rather than the average American consumer. Something doesn't seem right about this. Seems FoMoCo has lost their way. I thought Ford was all about automobiles that the average American can...
I will agree with that statement as that is spot on. I just hate when people come on here and will fight tooth and nail to defend Ford when they have been grossly inconsistent to say the least. As someone else said, maybe it was you, but maybe Ford showed their full hand way too early and gave...
I'm with @OK_Hunter on this one brother. I will spend a couple hundred to buy quick disconnect end links and save about $1.8k by installing myself. The whole idea of engaging the disconnect under load sounds nice but barely anyone who wheels will actually do that. If you know you're going...
Well I wouldn't pay any of the above mentioned prices on the poll. I would pay the cost of the 5.0 Coyote crate engine which is about $8600 plus the labor cost to put it in which would run about $1500. So, I'd say about $10.1k total lol. If I had to swap the tranny at the same time, the engine...
I agree with you on the vast majority of what you said except for the part where you said the Army doesn't contract with multiple companies to purchase the same product at the same time. I will use two examples, one modern and one old. The US military has purchased M4 Carbines from both Colt and...
I don't expect anyone to thank me for my service and I never will. I never intended to use my service to beat anyone over the head with it. When you've spent most of your adult life doing something, that tends to be the lens that you view the world in. I was simply making an observation based on...
We did have a contingency plan at my employer. You know what it was? We keep doing the work we always have because people's lives depend on it. Missouri had from January to March to plan for the eventual crapstorm and that's what we did. Have we had to change methods or adapt? Of course but we...
The exact reasons you gave is precisely why I want Squatch and think it looks the best. I spend the vast majority of my free time in the woods hunting or at my secret fishing "honey holes". If it's gobbler season I'm hunting toms, if it's whitetail or squirrel season, that's what I'm doing. I...
In the Army we had to make what we called "contingency plans". If plan A doesn't work, go to plan B, then C and so forth. Ford clearly failed to have contingency plans, which should have been obvious to them that they needed to do so with the pandemic and all. They should have had multiple MIC...
Lol you are spot on for the most part. I also believe that the GOAT modes also contain presets for things like throttle response among other things. It's kind of like on-the-fly ECU tuning. The only GOAT mode I'm kind of excited to try out is slippery since we primarily get ice during Missouri...
