Oddly enough I think the 2.3 sounds better than the 2.7. It’s got a more industrial sound to it whereas I heard an angry kid in fart can equipped Civic blow by the gas station the other day and it was actually a new Raptor ?

It’s understandable. I’m looking forward to trying out the 2.7 in the F150. I’m probably gonna drive a Ranger again just for the heck of it hopefully back to back with the 2.7. When I was writing the original post though it really did get me thinking about how much it reminded me of my old 240sx...

Like a lot of you I’ve been left scratching my head and a little bummed about Ford’s engine choices and particularly the restricting of the manual to the 2.3. My only experience prior to this with any Ecoboost was test driving an F150 with the 3.5 and I will say I would own one if I’d found one...

You have Eco Mode. It’s attached to your right leg.

So many options. It will depend on many factors. Time of day, location, final color choice, if the kid is with me, etc. Most likely option in any scenario: Your Disease by Saliva

Or Feel Alright

Honda can build some slick gearboxes. Friend at work sold a really nice G37 Coupe 6 speed and bought an Accord Sedan V6 6 speed. I had driven the G37 and didn’t love it but was a little skeptical til I drove the Honda. The G37 was ok but the gear spacing was just off for the powerband and, while...

That’s an interesting point.Would suck pretty bad to have the spare and mount ripped off the tailgate. Unless I move somewhere I doubt I’ll be in the camp of needing the extra clearance but I have been horrifically stuck in a sxs when we couldn’t get up the creek bank and rolled backwards...

I watched a video of a Q and A session with Paul Wraith (the lead designer whom I believe is British) and one thing he mentioned is that they were able to do a lot of things with the design because they weren’t going to have to compromise for Euro restrictions. Sorry ?. I’ll try to find it again...

Have there been any pics of the hardware on the towing package? I’m hoping Ford thought this through and has a solution that won’t cause it to dramatically reduce the departure angle.

You can add things that will make it handle the weight better but there is nothing you can do that will make it legally have an increased capacity. I am of the opinion that manufacturers tend to sand bag their tow rating to keep the lawyers at bay so more often than not you can get away with...

Right?! Seems like it should be the one that most water resistant since it’s named after an island chain.

Rent or borrow a Jeep and take the top off and see how you like that and then go test drive a new Ranger to get a feel for how the Bronco will ride and drive. If you are even remotely inclined to go for the two door or 4 door then you will be disappointed with the Sport. You don’t have to take...

This was a common topic of discussion over on the FFCars forum back when I had my Factory Five Cobra. One of my favorite suggestions was to leave an old, well worn holster visible.

Thank you for explaining this. I just joined this past week and, since my wife has recently been dragging me down the rabbit hole of Washington/Hollywood pedophilia scandal theory of which PizzaGate is a big thing, I was a little confused and mildly concerned ?. Makes much more sense now. Back...

FJ was a good concept poorly executed. Other than the shorter wheelbase it did nothing better than a 4Runner and a lot of things worse. My neighbor had one for a while and I got to drive it and ride in it frequently and the only things that stood out were the negatives. Honestly the low...

I’d like to see the Highland green from the Bullitt Mustang. Pair that with a nice brown interior ?

I made my dad go cross eyed the other day when I mentioned that people tend to not like pictures of themselves because it’s not the image we are accustomed to seeing in the mirror and he was like “sure it is”. I had him stand in the mirror and raise his arm then I took a picture of him raising...

Rescue and Off-Rescue here (ARFF Firefighter) Or Pit side and Trackside in a past life.

Personally it’s about being engaged, much the same way that riding a motorcycle without a helmet or a Jeep without the top (or any convertible) is a completely different feeling. It’s strips away some of the isolation and connects you to the machine and the road. A manual transmission (a good...
