Other Ford products with the 2.0 EcoBoost and above have paddle shifters available on the steering wheel in addition to the knob. The 1.5L 2020 3cyl Escape SE AWD I had as a loaner recently had the rotary knob mated to the new 8-speed transaxle. Geared way tall IMO, but kicks down smoothly. In...

The Defender 110 base starts at $49,990 MSRP and quickly goes north of $92K. I whine a lot about trim and option structure, but these Brits are the Masters of the Universe. I guess it'll do as a good stand in until your Cullinan arrives.

For me, It's tech for tech's sake. The amount of fuel saved at a stop is offset partially or totally by the extra fuel used to restart. I don't have any empirical data, but I wonder how much fuel is actually saved over the life of the vehicle, 2 gallons? 5? 10?. while the car is stopped, with...

Packages are to save you money, Dearest Customer! Originally, that was true in the late Seventies. Take power door locks and power windows. both were not standard equipment except on some top trims. You could order PWs without PLs and vice versa. Then they figured that if they bundled them...

Painful is a little strong- dissatisfied enough to never buy one, though. I'm @chrisgb on the Ford Escape forum. I wrote up an impression of it here. If I was going to buy a Bronco Sport/Maverick/Baby and it required going to a top trim and/or a lot of other options I don't care for to get the...

You spelled "Wyoming" wrong. Oppps... :rolleyes: I meant to reply to @Paint about Oklahoma. Can't delete the post.

I doubt that I would ever remove the whole roof, or doors for that matter. I probably will go with a fixed roof and a slide sunroof- aftermarket if none or a Panoramic is all Ford offers.. Leaning toward white, but maybe black or silver depending on exterior colors and if there is additional...

Funny you would post that. My neighbor just brought home a flood-damaged 2016 Mustang GT 350 (non-R) he bought at auction. He's gutting it and will be building it into a Trans AM race car. Lotsa time and trea$ure, probably won't be ready for this season.

I think you're onto something, Jimmy. Might be a horse apiece cost wise vs an I-don't-think-so hope for a factory option V8 Bronc. Ford Performance has a crate 5.0L Coyote engine rated at 460 hp. (tunable higher) coupled to a Mustang GT-spec Ford 10R80 10-speed automatic- $17,900USD retail...

Using the Build & Price for a 2020 Ranger SuperCrew as a guide, I anticipate a 4WD 4 dr "Lariat" Bronco with the top package and tech incl. driver assist junk, er, features will sticker at just under $50K USD. Add a Raptor group (incl SFA) and big motor and we're at ~$60K. Dest/Del included. The...

Hadn't thought of that:like:

I'm guessing it will open from the right: (or passenger side) hinged on the left like the EcoSport. Ford's lawyers probably want to avoid folks carrying stuff on the traffic side of the vehicle with armloads of stuff. Neve rmind in Ford's photo it's parked on the "wrong" side of the road!

If ya got it, flaunt it. Earthroamer HD

The 1.5L is now a 3 cylinder. I had one in a '20 Escape loaner recently.

I am. The 2.0 Escape does have the steering wheel paddle shifters, so there is that. There appears to be a mild lift vs Escape, and maybe a suspension/skid plate/ tire package will be available, but I don't anticipate a JLR Defender beater.

I think it also will depend on if the marketing folks guess right or wrong on demand and option content. The 2020 Explorer was much anticipated: "Hooray! Rear wheel drive again! Up to 365hp!" But barely three months after they debuted last July, there were XLTs and Limiteds with year-end...

A tailgate would require a flip-up or roll-down rear window. So, maybe with an interior mount or underbed compact spare or a can of inflator like Slime, an either/or "Country Squire" tailgate would be possible. a swing door like the Fiesta will probably be standard.

Looks like the same rotary knob for the 8-spd auto as the Escape: no gear select other than D or L. no shift paddles on the steering wheel at least with this mule. On the 2020 Escape,, you need to get the SEL or Titanium and 2.0L EcoBoost to get the paddle shifters. AWD is available without the...

I could do my Bronco by the hunk. If the entry level trim is is similar to the Ranger XL, that's plenty for me to start with. Base everything. Vinyl floor, cloth seats Tilt/Telescope/Cruise, single AC, Ford Connect; pretty much the Ranger XL 101A package. Terrain management and Trail Control...
