Okay, I drove to Vegas 135 miles each way on rolling hills and some soft mountain terrain. On the way there I averaged almost 75 mph (82 on the interstate and 70 in other areas) I averaged 25.5 mpg's. Just got home today and did the same route in standard mode. Same speed. got home in...

I just installed a "Tutel Hard shell folding cover for $400. I'm shocked at the quality and ease of installation. 20 minutes tops. Doesn't leak at all.

2024 lariat 2.3

I'm going to leave mine in sport mode for a week and see if the readout changes. Like I pointed out the extreme up and down in the mountains kept the truck from hunting for gears and stayed in 6th and 7th most of the time.

I went to Ford's website and it showed that the new 2.3 has 270 hp and 310 lb.ft torque. Seems the same power output to me. I'm going to guess that if they did put the Mustang's 2.3 liter engine in the Ranger (40 more HP and torque) the 2.7 would be superfluous. Or they might drop it and put...

I just installed 1 hour ago this : Tutel Hard Shell Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover | Fits 2019-2025 Ford Ranger 5' 1" Bed (61") - TULH032 Got it at Amazon for $400. Fit my 2024 Ranger perfectly. I thought I wanted a flush mount until I read some not flattering reviews of parts breaking...

I'll believe that when Dyno comparisons are done and quarter mile times are done, and mileage. If it does deliver slightly more it wont make a difference in it's utility. I can't imagine Ford spending the money to develop an entirely new (same size) engine and it's development costs.

Now remember if you hot rod it you will get less!!!!!

Yes I understand the modes and how they affect the progression of the throttle input. Several months ago I drove up the mountain in manual mode and paddle shifted keeping the RPMs up and I noticed better mileage. that why I wondered what SPORT would do on its own. I was pleased that going...

I have the 2.3 engine. I started thinking about this because I took a 3000 trip to the Pacific Northwest where speeds ranged from 75 to 85 mph. 85 is 2300 RPMs. I averaged 25.5 mpg's and double checked it. Driving 65 in ECO has been less than hoped for.

I've been experimenting with different drive modes and realized that the ECO mode does absolutely nothing. At least for me and I drive fairly conservative. No difference taking the same 500 mile loop in ECO and NORMAL. Both loops I get near 24 mpg's. Not enough to play with the dial and find...

You're so upset you posted the same thing twice. I got to you. I couldn't care less what you do. I just pointed out doubling the power will negatively affect the engines life and transmission. Both were not built for that kind of power. Nothing is free and all I did was point out the obvious.

Your ignorance knows no boundary. I questioned the need to buy a new 60K truck and double it's horsepower. Then you started the insults Gomer. I have a new Lariat and very happy with it's power. I questioned why not just buy a bigger truck with 500-700 HP. It has a warranty. Then the name...

Your ignorance is unmatched. Because some of us buy cars and trucks that we don't think we have to build the snot out of it to enjoy it. If you did, you bought the wrong vehicle. Your F1 analogy sucks. F1's aren't your daily driver although like some snot nosed kid you probably drive like...

1976 through 1980 I professionally drag raced in the IDBA. So shows how ignorant your guess I'm not intelligent enough to understand speed. I've been down the quarter mile faster than you'll ever get. I'm not confused on anything. I don't understand why you need to make a bomb out of a small...

Terrible answers. Well then I'm intelligent enough to not understand. We used to laugh at guys turbocharging their VW bugs then act like the baddest dude on the planet. You can't make this stuff up.

Goodbye head gasket, transmission. Pump gas? who would spend 60K on a Raptor and turn it into a bomb?

Until I read a lot of reviews of the same issues on the BAK I was going to buy it even though it's expensive. I ordered a $400 cover that is tri-fold and had good reviews. It's called the Tutel Hard Shell Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover. Installs in 15 minutes From Amazon.

But nobody said that. Tariffs are paid by importers to the US.

I'm glad this subject came up because narrow tires have always been better in my experience. Especially in snow. I'm actually looking at the K03's in a 245/70/18. It's actually 1/2" taller too. Also don't be putting LT tires on a medium duty truck unless your racing the Baja 100 and going...
