I too am getting a Squatch, and I am most certain that I will enjoy every bit of it. Looking at the technical specs, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't do well in winter conditions. As for highway, it's going to be a bit on the noisy side with those 35'' mud-terrain tires, but that's hardly...

People cancelling reservations? To me that just suggests that there may be fewer people in line in front of me. People are far too impatient these days. I say let the wishy washy folks run away and let those of us that are committed enjoy it when it ships! As for me, I look at any extra bit of...

@robepa I've come to quite like this guy hah hah!

@grewhi From what I've been hearing about the engines offered in the Bronco, there is some lag on the 2.3, but once the boost hits, it really hits. I've seen reports that it's a rather 'peaky' engine, in that the power stabs quick at higher revs. Mind you these are accounts of people having test...

Lookin good!

Carbonized gray is most likely what I'll be going with, myself. I may change my mind last minute, but we'll see!

@grewhi From what I've seen about the construction of the 2.7l, I'm completely sold on it. Even if I really wanted to stick with a manual, I like what I'm seeing about this 2.7l engine. Compacted graphite iron block with an aluminum cage. Lighter than cast iron, but just as strong and from what...

@robepa Pretty much spot on there. If you've never seen this guy's videos, check him out. Crazy Aussie fella that often has some real good info and tips when it comes to offroading. This particular video is his comparison of manual vs auto when it comes to offroading and while he himself admits...

@robepa The Taco is a very capable off road truck, but yeah length can hinder some stuff. I've never had an issue offroad with my old Taco, but then again I've not done anything really difficult. Gonna be nice to have a truck that can outdo my Tacoma and get me places I'd not have wanted to try...

@WhatsKraken I can't say I've come across anyone that was a dick out on the trail. In tight spots, when one vehicle is going uphill and the other downhill, I've had a few encounters where we quickly and kindly figured out how to best get by each other engage in some quick chatting and go on our...

I've not got much more experience than the rest of you. Old logging trails out by Elbe and some of the stuff round where skagzoola was talking bout off 410. My 98 Taco gets it done, but she's aging. Eager to go and find more places to ride!

Niiiiice!

@Tippster That's good to see at least. No mark ups confirmed!

I'm going through Korum in Puyallup now, but I may have to change up to Bowen-Scarff. Aside from some emails unrelated to my reservation, I don't think I've had a single call or anything from Korum. Huh.

Much as I enjoy a solid manual transmission, I'm not getting younger and my knees and hips don't always share my love of clutches. I'll miss driving stick, but I think I'll stay with my plan to get the auto with the 2.7.

I've not picked that one up yet. I really need to!

If we're talking scotch, I'll take anything from Glenmorangie or Ardbeg.

Right now one of my new favorites is Oregon Spirit. A newer distillery on the scene from what I know, but damn good! Neat all the way! Some other top favorites include Blantons (because why not?) Elijah Craig barrel proof, and Wild Turkey 101. Mmmm, love me a good bourbon! *pours a glass of...

This got me curious, so I looked up a '19 F150 with the 2.7 via Identifix and from what I'm seeing there, it doesn't appear to have a timing driven water pump (That's what I'm assuming you mean by 'internal water pump'). Looks like a traditional bolt on assembly, but who knows! Maybe something...

Just can't wait, I really can't!
