This has been covered before in other threads....There are similar/smaller wheelbase, similar / lighter vehicles than the Bronco that have 5k towing. There are car based SUVs that have higher tow ratings so you do not have to have leaf springs. Even though the engine / tranny are the same as...

There is nothing wrong with wanting a convertible / removable door tow vehicle and I'm in the same camp. The only offroading i'll do is driving down dirt roads and the only mountain my hopeful Bronco will climb are the bridges around here and the boat ramp. That being i don't think you'll...

We don't name our cars but I'd suggest Silvie.

Well for me it is 'i'm thinking about it'....I don't like the grill, the fox suspension will be a long term reliability concern (my current truck is 20 years old), worse fuel economy, more expensive upkeep with the 37" tires. The only hill it will ever see is a boat ramp since I live on the...

They just released the bronco raptor and the key thing for me is the towing jumped to 4500. I don't want all the other stuff but need the towing. They glanced over the changes but showed an increased brace and said something about increased cooling. Usually the raptors have less towing...

this was one of the main issues with the Volt. Chevrolet was ahead of its time and people did not understand it's powertrain as it is not a hybrid like other vehicles. It is 100% EV and the gasoline engine is only a generator. This is the same powertrain design used in huge Tonka dump...

I have 3M PPF on both my car and my wife's Honda. XPEL is highly rated, but the best installer in my city used 3M at the time. The 3M at the time also had a better warranty from my memory, but I think they are the same now. My wife's car is 7-8 years old with about 107k miles on it and the...

To hell with Georgia! And if you had a daughter sir what would you dress her in?

First time Ford buyer here unless you count my Miata which has a bunch of Ford parts since they were somewhat married at the time of the NC Miata's development. Currently in the garage are the Mazda, 2 Hondas, Toyota, and a Chevy. Knock on wood only the wife's Honda had to go in for an ECM...

Yes and no...If you are used to driving with visually looking at a tachometer it will help you prevent a bad downshift. Two examples are on a racetrack and using the engine as a brake going downhill. I do agree it will not help you if you miss a shift going down 2 gears (switching to 2nd...

This is not accurate....You've never heard of a 'money shift'? A money shift is when you accidently shift down into a lower gear and the engine is forced into an over rev situation by the gearing. Porsche actually tracks red line events in 6 different 'ranges' based on how far over the red...

Almost every car (not truck) my family has owned has been a manual. We have three of them in the garage right now. I look at my tach all the time when I'm driving otherwise you'll bang off the rev limiter. Yeah all our cars are sporty cars including a Honda Vtec that absolutely sings as it...

I'm anal about my cars and there is zero chance I'd let them respray my 8 day old entire hood for that dent. Trust me whatever they do will look worse. I'd start with a paintless/dentless guy as they do amazing work. Then I'd recommend you watch Ammo NYC and other detailer's videos on how to...

When we faced this decision we went a different direction….. Neither my wife, nor I wanted to drive a SUV (Minivan was never an option) when the kids came along but we needed one to pull the boat and haul all the kids stuff on weekend trips to the grandparents. So we bought a used Tahoe that...
