I’m kinda interested in a spare tire delete when available.
Two of my cars only came with a can of stuff and a tiny compressor. Does that mean I should mount a spare on the back of them? Or maybe just never drive further than I can walk?
There are plenty of good reasons for a delete. For one...
I think they are somewhat related. I have read about this specific Ford 2.3 that article said it was close to maximum. It isn't hard to find. A person also has to dig deep into other Ford forums and use your better judgement. I think a persons best friend here is an unbiased Ford mechanic that...
Use a top grade synthetic oil and filter. Change it at no more than 5K miles. Like any car don't drive it hard until warmed up.

I couldn’t care less about what you drive. I am just showing proof that the people that purchase manual transmission vehicles are in the very small minority and they are very quickly becoming obsolete.
Folks are very lucky to have a choice. The future...

You tell me…
I live here.
Where do you live?
I didn't write the article. Sometime's this evolution thing is a hard pill to swallow. You don't have to like it.
It's just the facts.

I guess the manual is the clear choice since 2.4% of the cars sold had them.
Or would that be 97.6% of the people that bought the automatic didn't know what they were...
Ford said they are very aware and are in the process of redesigning and building us new ones.
Again, Who cares about the old ones?
You are the one being rude with personal attacks Ms. Hypocrite...
Gee, I think I mentioned that months ago when everyone thought this would be easy. I'm just an accountant, but when we had to do wiring on my 03 Taco, it was just like that. Huge PITA. My mechanic was shocked! Modern wiring and systems....
It's so refreshing for me and probably many others to...
