Gee, I wonder if some of this $4.5 billion dollars would've helped, but apparently that doesn't matter? 🤪 Ford expects to bleed $4.5 billion on electric cars this year, but it makes enough on everything else that it might not matter
Nice update, I'm glad things are going well, there have been plenty of C&D long-termers that they hated by now. I'm somehow at 20.6mpg with my 2.3/7MT/93oct, and bet that switching to full syn oil, installing a new intake/muffler, a better FMIC, and the FP tune would net a pretty consistent...
My non-SAS Badlands, completely stock with 93 octane, is averaging 20.7mpg with mixed driving! I don't know how, but its impressive. The only thing I could think of is that I don't use 6th gear much, since going fast enough to make it useful means you're hitting the aero wall and forcing the 2.3...
Bolded for totally nailing it, and agreed on most counts. I would've gone Bronco either way, but in the end the 4Runner isn't even really that competative anymore. I tried to look at them but that lasted a day, it is early aughts tech with Toyota's extremely robust/dependable vehicle. It is a...
Honestly, if I got a BRaptor, I'd get Chili Pepper. It's a giant, flared, boosted offroader, the only better color would be Cyber Orange (with a TONKA license plate). I love my Shadow Black BL, but will always kinda wish I went Chili Pepper...
My BL has the optional beadlocks and I've thought about getting a set, mostly I haven't because I wouldn't have a use yet. That said, the pricing doesn't help, $800 is a definitely a dink to the ol' wallet.
Thanks both of you, yeah I've always wanted a car with a crazy interior color, and since I don't have an old Corvette yet I figured why not? I'm really liking it so far, its definitely red, but sort of "just enough" since I tend to keep vehicle exteriors pretty stock, and the black is pretty...
Dissenting/PITA opinion, if you're going to do it, do it right.
Metal charge pipes heatsoak unlike polymer/synthetic piping, so that equates to less thermal variance. However, aftermarket charge pipes generally flow more air for more power at less boost, so you could argue it isn't that...
I realized I forgot my inspiration for this, I originally got my black BL because it reminded me of my parents' K5 Blazer from when I was a kid, but it had a red interior which was both awesome and absolutely scorching in the summer. Now, with the red covers, I have the achieved truck nostalgia...
Added them, sorry I posted the thread before I finished typing it! I've had the covers on for two weeks, I wanted to see how they were before making a post, they're staying in place and breaking in very nicely. Thanks @IAG Performance!
I've done a few small things to the Bronco since getting it last November, mainly paracord grab handles which I almost never use, and fog and driving lights which I also mostly never use. So, so far, my batting average is choking hard. Then, a ray of sunshine BURST FORTH into my notifications in...
Well, after much searching we ended up finding one, and bought it last week! I've only driven it once (so twice, with the test drive), and I have to say I really like it, the smooth steering and stability are notable. Its the auto with a Command-Trac part-time transfer case, it has the nice tech...
I assume it is, I've seen 1-2 new 2023s for like $8k off MSRP, we want a Snazzberry with Selec-Trac, the Safety group, and a few other specifics, but those will all be '22s.
I've noticed that, that means they're clearing stock before the update.
We're waiting on one with a few specific features, so I'm hoping it'll happen in the next month or so. We drove one that was almost to spec and both really liked it, it was a lot better than what was expected, but it's...
