They used the same defective tires on the Ranger, but Ranger never got the negative press that the Exploder did.

Daughter drives a Subaru. I check the oil ever time I drive it.

And I'm still mad that those bastards at Firestone still owe me a set of tires. They only recalled the Wilderness A/T. The Wilderness H/T had the same defect. Fortunately I was in my driveway and not the freeway when the tread chunked off.

People like to blame the lower pressure on the door sticker, but mine were inflated to 35 PSI and threw off the tread in less than 1000 miles. Those tires were defective. Period. That being said, Ford does overinflate for shipping. Part of PDI is to take the air pressure back to the door...

Took me 5 months to get a tailgate on my Bronco after getting rear ended. Everyone blamed the aluminum shortage. Fortunately it was drivable. Retail sales of the Escape were mediocre, with the Baby Bronco cannibalizing most retail sales. The majority of Escape sales were fleet and rental...

It's not getting in or out. The B-pillar jabs you in the shoulder on the 4 door when you rest your arm on the window sill.

The doors are six inches longer on the 2-door. And the B-pillar is thus 6 inches forward.

I would have got a 4-door if they were not so small and cramped. Tiny cockpit with the B-pillar jabbing me in the shoulder killed it for me.

Looks at Bronco: 2 doors, metallic red, manual transmission, rear wheel drive... Bronco is an Eco-boost Mustang with 4WD. :cool:

SOLVED: Body shop needed to use an ODBII scan tool (ADAS) of some sort to initialize the new camera.

That's my guess. Body shop is 1/8 mile from work, so I'll take it down there first thing in the morning.

No, there is not. I dug through all the settings. For some stupid reason Hill Start Assist had turned itself back on, so it was worth going through all the settings. If you have parking assist, there is a setting to turn off the beep. But no settings for the lines.

The 65 was literally a set of hinged rods that shoved directly on the clutch fork. One of them was threaded for adjustment. The 01, 06, and 08 were certainly hydraulic, but I'm sure they didn't have weird assemblies on the hydraulic line. This is the part that failed...

Wal-mart tends to get it done in 45 minutes. Had the garbage dealership by me take 5 hours when I had an appointment.

Ok, so after 5 months of waiting the body shop finally got a tailgate for the rear-end we had in January. Body shop replaced the rear tailgate, AND the spare tire carrier. I assume they failed to do something. Any idea what? Obviously I'm taking it back in the morning, but if it's an easy...

Don't remember my mod 2000s Mustangs doing that, but they never had weird parts fail either. Never had this problem in the 60's when the clutch was completely mechanical. I see no reason a clutch should be hydraulic in the first place.

Ford says not to. If I take it to Big O they claim it's mandatory. Walmart just does what I tell them to.

And the clutch is far more complicated than it ought to be. I just had what ford calls a "hydraulic line" blow out. Except it's not really just a line as it has a weird plastic cylinder built into it. $250 part, and of course several hours of labor to get to it. Plus Bronco uses brake...

Just had a clutch hydraulic line replaced at 39k miles. 800 bucks.

Discount Tire will rotate for free. I no longer allow the dealer to touch my tires.
