One of these things is not like the other...

My dad postulated something similar when I was talking to him last night. We all got sick around late January. I was blaming juniper allergies and gutting it out. He went to the doctor and got diagnosed with bronchitis (not uncommon for him) and got whatever meds are normal for the doc to...

On the other hand, according to their configurator, here are Ford's current engine options for the F-150 3.3L NA V6 (XL, XLT) 2.7L EcoBoost (XL, XLT, Lariat) 3.5L EcoBoost (Lariat, King Ranch, Raptor, Platinum, Limited) 5.0L Coyote (XL, , XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum) They have 4 engine...

The Coyote is the only engine option Ford offers a factory gaseous prep package on. Given that CNG, LNG, and LPG are gaining popularity with fleets, and given that Ford loves fleet sales, I don't see Ford ditching the Coyote as an option in the F150 unless they add gaseous prep on another...

There's only one word to adequately describe that setup: Bitchin'

Oh, c'mon now. Doesn't everyone want their vehicle to sound like an angry weed eater while they bounce down the trail breaking CV joints and bending control arms?

Anything will come off if you have a reciprocating saw and the right blades...

I'm not going to try to change your mind, but I will point out that the 2.3L turbo 4 cylinder that the Bronco is likely to get is a completely different beast than what was in your old Pinto. It makes 270 peak horse power and 310 pound feet of torque as specced in the current Ranger. That...

I agree. Once you put pineapple on it, it stops being pizza and starts being an abomination not fit for consumption by living creatures.

The Bronco would probably be getting the same locker used on the Ranger rather than the locker used on the Super Duty. The locker on the Ranger is a little bit more expensive at $420. Still not a big bump to the price, though. Unless you're saying that they're going to build the Bronco with...

Laurie the Cable Gal?

I hope you're wrong, too. There are a lot of brilliant people at Ford, GE, and 3M. Hopefully they've got a plan.

I get what Cuomo is saying here, but the ventilators from Ford and GM may well come in time to help other states. If they can get stuff going and start cranking things out, maybe that eases the pressure on the strategic reserve, and maybe that causes the feds to release more from the strategic...

If it's not available in Lightning Blue, I'm not getting one.

You mean the thing they should just call the Ranchero since it's basically a car pretending to be a truck?

I want something that is as capable as the Wrangler off road, or near enough to it that a failure to clear an obstacle can be blamed on lack of skill rather than the machine. I also want something that is not going to manifest Chrysler electrical or transmission gremlins. If that thing has ABS...

If we're gonna get something that small in the Bronco, it needs to at least be a diesel.

We don't get gobs of snow down here in OK, but we get a bit, plus our share of ice (which is worse than snow). I just run the same tires year round.

I've never had a vehicle with a turbo, I'm just paranoid about unnecessary complexity. I also don't change my tires twice a year...

In central OK, I couldn't say. If you find yourself up around Tulsa, Burnco is the place to go. And yeah, I use BBQ sauce, too, but I use it on Lil' Smokies or ramen noodles, not BBQ. I'm pretty partial to Head Country these days.
