I would add that moving from 32" tires to anything bigger is probably going to destroy that 20.8 MPG average I got. This was a 4dr Black Diamond with Steelies. That was mostly back road driving and short trips, with one longer highway trip mixed in. All I can say is I already miss my Bronco...
I really liked it. Looks good, easy to use, nice to know you have a full roof if you are caught in the elements. My preference is to keep the roof down all the time from May-October in Md. but I like to know I can put it up if it gets a little too cold or if it rains. Not sure I will have the...
I have a Day 1 Res for a 2.7L 2DR which was finally scheduled for build on 11/15, but in the interim was fortunate enough to buy a 2.3 Manual 4dr which I put 2k miles on. I was very opposed to the 4cyl in a 4 door but once I had it , it really grew on me. Was a little slow off the line but I...
I am a 2 Door Res holder who got impatient and bought a 4 Door soft top that was a cancelled order. I actually love the soft top. I am now second guessing getting a 2 Door with hard top because I am asking myself what do I do if get stuck in the rain and the hard top is back at the house...
Agreed...I don't care what other people do. To each his/her own. I was just trying to share my experience in the event others could learn from it....I'm sure there are better ways to do it as some suggested turning or removing the wheel. My intent solely was to provide experience related to a...
1) I was raised by a man who taught me to take care of my own shit
2) I acknowledged in the video I probably don’t need to change the oil at 1000 miles but I wanted to any way
3)jiffy lube left the oil plug out of my fathers new Jaguar xke back in the early 70’s, he taught me not to trust...
I hit 1000 miles the other day so figured I’d change my oil. 5w-30 oil filter was a motorcraft FL-910S. I used a siphon pump to extract the oil which worked well. But I do need to do a traditional change to see if the siphon is taking out all the oil. I only got 3.75L which is much lower than...
I can only laugh at this point. On the bright side I probably will get a "do over" on my order and can change my specs if I so choose. I was dead set on a 2 Dr but now that I have a 4 Dr I kind of like the ride and convenience. I am very torn. But probably will want the v6 and auto, as...
Today my dealer emailed me to tell me my Day 1 res 2DR, BD, 2.7L SAS was in preview? I was counting on the fact that Ford said they were not building any more 2 Doors this year unless they were FE or WT. I was going to change some things when forced to re-order MY22. Anyone else told they...
Dealer let me know I am in preview as well which seems odd given I am a 2 DR SAS BD with 2.7. Will wait to see if I am scheduled. Assumed I would be pushed to MY22.
Ric42pars I have not noticed any meaningful change in disposition when it hit 400 miles if that is what you were asking but I also run it in Sport mode most of the time. I too would agree that 6th gear on the highway is good for fuel economy on pretty flat surfaces, if any meaningful hill need...
MIne is a 2.3l manual. I would not say it is quick off the line, have to get out of 1st and 2nd before it really starts to take off and then the response is pretty sporty. I would say in Sport mode it is a much more enthusiastic drive. I don't think it is under powered at all, but if you are...
