Handy little idea and I like where it attaches. This is the first time Iāve noticed the smaller screen size and threw me for a sec. Will have to find a good place to attach with bigger screen.
I mean, itās not JUST a V6. Itās a twin turbo V6 with what I call pretty impressive pick up to spin stock 37ās from dead stop. And then thereās the variable exhaust settings to make sure others hear about it... š
But ya, other than that, itās a V6.
Now if youāre asking if I want a Coyote in...
Haha. Will have to dig for it a bit but lemme look. I recall msrp was somewhere around that, but was stupidly low. I found it and pulled it out to show my cousin whoād ordered same truck at the time in a gasser saying āthat $5,k PSD engine upgrade would buy him a lot of gas and never make a...
Ya, folks are pretty accustomed to creature comforts being the norm now, but with aftermarket parts finally caught up, I canāt help think theyād have no trouble constantly selling out of the Base Model (or even strip it down further to make cheaper). If they built it at a ratio of 5 to 1 to...
This, but with more clarity, if you run numbers to truly mod a wildtrak to have same features as Raptor trim (engine/tranny, suspension, axles, shocks, brakes, tow rating, wheels, tires, etc. ), thereās no way you get there paying only $11,k extra. It helps to keep in mind manufacturers were...
I totally get this take. Thereās something about offroaders so over-built to hold up to extreme abuse to the point you stop being practical/logical trying to test itslimits every next time out. Total mental satisfaction. š
And thank you for your service.
That CRX helped me remember this. Iāve Driven trucks my whole life and the only thing that comes close to my Braptor is the ā94 Acura Integra GSXR my wife had when we met in college. Kept it once married but sold when built our first house and I still kick myself for not keeping it for our...
I have leather but my market is too small to find another parked by me to compare to. Mines a ā23 and while my seats have a bit of blue hue, I believe the ā22 seats were more blue. I donāt believe mine are a vinyl mix. I seem to recall reading those with vinyl found their interiors just as...
šš. If I could order one ala carte exactly how I wanted it today, itād be nearly completely analog. Iām talking manual hubs even. And itād have headlights warm enough to melt snow in a storm, thatās for sure. A man can dream, right?
IMO, Fordās pulling a page straight out of the successful F150 Raptor play book and hooking folks on the truck to then jack up the price as its own āpremiumā brand. A similar (although admittedly poor) comparison might be the price difference between a Honda Pilot and an Acura MDX. Or...
How I feel about everything these days. I still have the window sticker off my ā98 F250 PSD at right around $15,k. And the 7.3 PSD option was only $5,k of that total. The equivalent truck today is $110,k.
And my first MasterCraft was a ā94 I got for $16,k. Equivalent boat todayā¦. $200,k
Itās funny you guys bring up cams. Man,
I remember back when cams were one of the first best options to add power in normal aspirated V8 engines. They were fast and easy to swap, easy to access, all you needed was the cam, tools and a valve cover gasket. Popping my hood, I canāt even imagine the...
I mean, I get your methodology. But when I think of greater volume being forced through the same diameter discharge, isnāt that textbook for pressure increase? Thatās where I believe the heat threat originates since it wouldnāt be able to shed exhaust from the system fast enough. To me, this...
