My brother had the tune installed on his 2023 Badlands yesterday at the same place where he purchased it new last year here on Long Island, NY He was charged $825 for the package, $800 for labor and $140.16 in sales tax. Total, $1,765.16 for the Ford Performance Tune installed by his dealership.

I know, crazy. I was thinking of having it installed, but not at these prices. Sorry.

The ProCal is really to expensive in my opinion. My brother, who owns a 2023 Badlands with the 2.7L engine, is at his dealership right now and is being charged $825 for the package, $800 in labor and 140 in sales tax. $1,765 Seems a bit pricey to me for what you are getting In return.

My Raptor does it also. It has put me into the classic stereotype of the old man in the left lane with his signal on; on too many occasions. But, my Raptor is training me, I look for it Now. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Tires are a very personal thing. Does it look good, tough, brand loyalty, how much does the tire cost, etc. But ... I bought my first real 4x4 in 1979, a 1979 Jeep 2 door Cherokee, manual transmission, no power anything, no AC, I absolutely loved it, owned it for the next 15 years then sold it...

I recently performed the 5000-mile rotation of the tires on my 2023 Raptor, purchased new in April 2024 with 17 miles on the odometer. I couldn’t remove one of the driver side, rear lug nuts. I had to use my impact tool and had trouble even using the impact wrench. I found that the difficult...

This isn’t just about Ford. But, even with all that testing, they still can’t get it right.

Supply and demand, it’s always been the same. Manufactures also want to protect their brand image. Try and buy a Ford GT, or a Corvette ZR-1 You’ll leave the dealership naked. The pandemic also changed everything, supply was low, dealers pounced on the shortage, we consumers suffered. Things are...

I installed a Ford Performance Oil/air separator kit this morning on my Raptor. I wasn't thinking of buying one, but I noticed that the PCV hose, on the driver's side of my Raptor, was coated with oil and dirt. After reading the instructions, I decided to leave in place all the parts which...

My first Ford was when I turned 18 in 1969, it was a Yellow, 1969 Mach 1 Mustang. And yes, I still miss it. I sold it to buy a 1965, Chevrolet, Nassau blue, 327/375, fuel injected Corvette Coupe. And yes, I still miss it.

The start stop feature hands down. I’ve intentionally used every feature on my Bronco At least once. I’ve never used start stop. What a waste of money, I‘ve read it is the second most pushed button in a motor vehicle.

Yeah, and good luck getting any justice here in NY. Our new saying here is, “ If you want justice, when we’re out here in the street, it’s just-us”.

When I was a lad and just started racing my 57 Chevy, which at that time was only 12 years old, I was told by an old timer, that the first hundred horsepower is free, and that last, one horsepower, you squeeze out of your engine, will cost you every penny you have. The more things change, the...

My brother has metal handles in his two door Badlands. And I like them and find them useful. But, I had a vehicle roll over on me, and it rolled over suddenly, very easily and uncontrollably. Every time I’m in his Badlands, I look at the handle above my head and wonder just how much it would...
