4-dr (2.7 auto, of course) Badlands with SAS using everyday regular juice: 17+ mpg in exurban/rural short-trip driving. Wouldn't be surprised to see 20+ on our next highway-ish trip.

Been driving manual sticks since I started driving decades ago (still have an older Escape with a MT that is our RV toad). Had a 2-door, MT Wrangler Rubicon (with hard top) not too many years ago. Loved it. Have the 2.3 in my current Ranger. Love it. Having said that.... But I now have lousy...

Who makes the scoop? Wasn't listed at tccustoms.com.

Just ordered the Broaddict 5-piece roof rack (i.e., the 2 crossbar edition) AND extension. Broaddict confirmed the extension works just fine on their roof rack (which I assumed was the case, but you never know). Arrives Monday; installation shortly thereafter. (Fingers crossed it's well-made...

Exactly correct.

Check out this article for proper engage/disengage: https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/more-vehicle-topics/steering-and-suspension/what-is-trail-turn-assist/ Just watched a video of it. Very cool. Reminds me of the pivot steers we used to do with the M113 APC (neutral steers on a tank are...

Does this extension fit Broaddict's after-market roof rack or solely the Ford OEM one? Product info says OEM, so not sure. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

FWIW, living somewhat close to NoVA and having made a number of trips to some of those dealerships, I will add that they practice quite a few deceptive and disingenuous techniques (looking not just at you, but - yes - at you, Koons Ford). Resolved to never do business with these Beltway Bandits...

Bumping an older thread. I have bought from Factory Manuals for each of the last vehicles I've bought. Excellent service, personalized info (the VIN you provide gives build date, etc.), and malware/problem free (I've thrown numerous scan tools at their products and all have come out clean).

Wow! Thank you. Yes, a 2024. I was confused because it looks (without uninstalling it) to be terminated. So while my first thought was 4/7-pin connector, my second thought was it can't be b/c it's terminated. But clearly, it's not terminated, it's capped. Okay. Good. Again, wow. Thank you. And...

Getting ready to go on my hitch hookup journey when I did one final look-under and found this "cage" occupying the two right holes (looking from under toward the back) the hitch receiver would occupy. There's a terminated "can" inside this "cage" (a silver wrapped insulated cable goes to it from...

I had a 2006 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with the Daimler 6-speed. Fantastic trans, but - oh, boy - the clutch pedal would wear your out after a long day of driving. I enjoyed the Peugeot 5-speed in my 1987 Wrangler YJ even more. Great trans, easy clutch work. Peugeot! So it's sad to read about...

Mitt Romney at it again?

Ford V10 powering your RV? I'm interested b/c I wasn't sure our Class B with the V10 could handle a full-size Bronco (we currently flat tow our very old Escape which is almost 1000lbs less in weight).

Just resetting the engine wouldn't work for me. Not sure a no-cost extended warranty would either. You paid top dollar for a product that wasn't top dollar. Ford owes you - if you can't swap it - an extended warranty and cash back for the depreciation this poor assembly caused. Of course, Ford...

FWIW, a small, but relatively functional, version comes on the Bronco Sport Badlands. Maybe use that as a model...?

I have one in my Ranger. It's fantastic. "Beyond factory quality" is exactly right. His next project is for the F-150. And then, Bronco. A real need for the Ranger as there are too many stories of Rangers leaving the factory underfilled (EDIT: like mine) and leaving dealerships overfilled. Or...
