By "part-time 4H", are you referring to 4A? If so, that's one thing. If you mean you can sometimes engage 4H mode on dry pavement, I'd argue that stiffly...

I've been wanting to go for years. It is, unfortunately, a hell of a haul from NY, where I'd be coming from probably in the winter time. Worth noting - and this is being semantic - you can't drive on the trails in any national park (unless otherwise designated). You can't even mountain bike...

Decent, though I couldn't tell you the mileage now. The bigger issue with the A/T was that the compound tends to harden after a few years. So, they might be too worn, but still become less grippy when its cold out. That's part of why I switched to proper snows in the winter. All of the...

I have owned vehicles with both BFG A/Ts and M/Ts (both KM2 and KM3). The A/T is hands down better in rain and snow. You can actually drive it daily in snow. OTOH, the M/T get skittery on concrete on-ramps in the rain. The A/T actually earns a mud/snow rating and the mountain/snowflake...

Minor detail - yes, I expect that front locker = M210. The rear, however, is M220 across the board. M210 is only a front carrier. If the rear M220 is anything like the Ranger, though, trucks with a rear locker have a normal bolt-on ring gear, whereas open diffs have a welded ring gear. So...

That doesn't look like a bad package. Its fairly similar to the Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106DS that I wound up buying, save for the fact that the 2106DS has a slide out. The winnebago is also slightly longer, so overall about 700lb heavier. The murphy bed makes for a pretty flexible set up. I...

FYI - if your expectation is quality comparable to the modern auto industry, the RV industry will leave you disappointed. I don't care which brand you're looking at, they are all at level subpar to what you might expect. I know I was certainly taken aback when I started looking a couple years...

Not meh. That color is Electric Green, its quite vibrant in the sun (see left). I get a lot of compliments on it, actually.

Ford used the name "Everglade Green" in the early 90s, I recall it being on the Mercury Capri. But it was very much a '90s sort of teal green:

Well, proper aiming and appropriate use are always the key, though often overlooked. As far as too bright goes, well, can you ever have too much light? As a long time night time road rally competitor, I'd say no. This how the truck in question is already set up:

The rendering above from Ford's 2021 F150 site isn't a real accurate representation of Guard, assuming the color hasn't changed. Unfortunately, in real life, Guard is much more of a charcoal grey with a green tinge. At least that's how it looked on the 2015 Mustang when the color first came...

To that end, I'm looking at using their kit to replace the OEM fogs on my F150. Same basic advantages as your Fiesta's kit. Aesthetically, its much more integrated looking than Rigid's version...

Those are good questions. A lot of times, the chassis engineers retune shocks when tires are changed, as well as for major chassis changes. Case in point - Raptor has different shock part numbers for the crew cab compared to the extended cabs, due to the difference in wheelbase and weights...

Why not just add aftermarket fog lights? I'm sure I will, since I've added aftermarket lighting to almost every vehicle I've owned. OEM fog lights are typically poor designs and ineffective; if you truly need a fog light for the way you use the vehicle, then you'll be much better served by...

Its actually pretty simple when you consider the scale of what automakers do. On the surface, it seems like having a common wiring harness would easier all around - simpler supply logistics, fewer part numbers, less chance for assembly error. BUT, it all comes back to cost. Let's say the...

My read on it is that open diff = M190, locker = M210. Both are shown as options on the lower models, but there is nothing that says that they are independent options. They're more likely to be bundled. And frankly, Ford does that sort of thing all the time, this option requires also get that...

Everything seems to indicate open diffs are the norm. Since Ford doesn't use basic LSDs in any other truck or SUV anymore, there's no reason to think they would here.

No, it does not. At this time, the only Torsen in a Ford Truck is F150 Raptor front axle. Correct. Without being able to differentiate, it can't be used in high-traction, general driving situations. Also, Ford limits the max speed at which it can be engaged, so again, general use is very...

Here is the simple answer - Ford had done away with limited slip differentials in trucks & SUVs. They were last offered on F150 in 2014. When P552 replaced P415, they were dropped. The same thing occurred when Ranger was reintroduced. The perception is that between the traction control...

Agreed. You could get away with it if you're careful about loading it. If the empty/dry weight is 3000lb, and you fill the fresh water tank, you're already at 3320lb. That doesn't leave a lot for your gear, clothes, bedding, etc. You might have to limit how much water you keep onboard while...
