How much better are the Bilstein dampers vs. the default base (I think they’re Fujitsu’s). Would the heavy duty Dana 210 front axel even matter without 35” wheels or a locking front diff?

Both! But they won’t be body painted.

I think it’s kind of cool!

It’s a pure profit item. Everything is negotiable.

REEEEEEE

People act like direct injection is some experimental technology that will fail after 20k miles and require a complete intake manifold and injector swap. Meanwhile basically every other auto manufacturer is fully direct injected and not failing catastrophically. Really it’s not a big deal. Ford...

Maybe you can work on Excel spreadsheets on the go? btw where is this hidden compare site?

IMO it’s a fail not having a fulltime tachometer on any manual vehicle. Not a dealbreaker but kind of a bad look. It’s also weird having half the instrument panel as an analog speedometer and the other half digital. It’s not an Audi, nobody asked for this stuff. I’m sure Ford will offer the...

Reserved a Black Diamond 2 door (manual) but may switch to Badlands when I actually order. Depends on the wheels and tires situation - I want 33’s. I live in the Twin Cities so this is overkill, but the rubberized interior and ride height seem pretty nice even if it ends up being a mall crawler.

Maybe he meant a Ranger?

1. It starts 2. Park it at the mall 3. Pick up Cheesecake Factory (to go)

Maybe they’ll change it as part of Sync 4. We can only hope!

On my Mk7 Golf GTI (with the fancy LED lights package) the DRLs would turn off on one side when the turn signal was active. You sure you didn’t tweak yours? ? I heard this was a federal requirement as well but possibly it’s like anything else on the Internet (wrong)!

Probably just tweak the throttle response and traction control for manual GOAT modes... I would be surprised if Ford put any kind of active exhaust on this vehicle for many reasons not the least of which is it’s cringey loudening the exhaust on a 4 cylinder. I plan on getting the manual 2.3L...

What is even the point of Black Diamond without a locker. I can’t believe they removed it. Might as well put my own Rock Rails on a Big Bend in that case.

All of Ford’s older vehicles are rust buckets. FWIW all of the newer trucks I see with body rust issues are GM or Fiat Chrysler, so I’d like to think Ford solved the issue. Ford’s aluminum body panels are not the be all to end all, especially hoods. I have corrosion issues on the hood of my...

I won’t be able to dig up the other thread but the consensus is that the LED tail lights have BLIS sensors in them and can NOT be simply swapped with the base tail lights because the wiring is completely different. You would have to wait on the aftermarket if you really want rear LEDs and didn’t...

I haven’t heard a clear explanation of what a GOAT mode actually is, at least on a manual transmission vehicle. On the auto it might change the shift points of the transmission, but I’d be surprised if it makes much of a difference in terms of DIY capability.

No it’s because they want you to spend the extra money on the Badlands.

A set of 33s would be a lot less than $6k anything higher than black diamond gets the “fancy” LED headlights, but they all have LEDs and they are all circular.
