so you're still not open to accepting the precedent for Ford not releasing 100% of details and configs, trims, options on a single day in initial reveal? Then they incrementally introduce more of each as time goes by? That absolutely is how their model works and you can bet it repeats here as...
the flip side is not ordering immediately allows waiting for all the test reviews including all competitors and probably more options rolled out before end of the new model year. I waited until the last minute on ordering my 2022 Maverick and actually benefited because all the manufacturing bugs...
it's actually a spring-loaded mechanical switch that makes momentary electrical contact to engage starter circuit and releases. The only car I've ever owned with a push button start is my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In addition to the switch you have to have your key fob with good battery in close...
Raptor has WAY more power and I would expect less MPG justifying larger tank. Carryover 2.3L unchanged is logical. 2.7? V6 option does not appear available until later Summer, so maybe larger tank would be option with that?
not flaming, giving personal opinion and preference. When I started driving manual transmissions ruled the day. Extremely long floor shifters with long throws and standard bench seats inspired the term "sitting bitch" for those stuck in the middle :wink: Advent of bucket seats with floor mounted...
I seem to remember the floorboard mounted push button being hailed as a huge advancement over the hand crank starter. Then it was universally replaced by dash or column mounted keyed ignition. Now we come full circle with companies pushing keyless ignitions as superior? With Toyota and others...
Fwiw, I have a Maverick and short legs. Can state for a fact entry and exit in front seats is compromised with your feet hitting kick panel on door frame every single time. Only sat in the 5G Ranger once 4 years ago but don't remember the foot contact there.
Sorry to be blunt on this, but your angst is self-inflicted here ? Nobody told you to wait 20 years and then put all of your eggs in the 6G Ranger basket. Where else does a person do that in their lives? 100% of available evidence around the globe points to an incremental launch over time. Label...
seems Job 1 is actual kickoff for production with confirmed ordering details known? Is it possible more options, trims, packages, etc. could be available / implemented for Job 2? Could some of you that ordered new Bronco shed light on this from your actual experience?
5 years actually. Our sales guy told me in 2018 when buying our F-150, not to jump on the 2019 Ranger at introduction because there was a NEW Ranger coming right behind it. I'm retired since 2014 and bought my Grand Cherokee in 2013 and it's been my dd ever since. Bought our RV new in 2004 and...
They're thinking only the younger generations think having a key is a negative. The more tech and gadgets you add means more cost, problems, recalls, and complaining about it in forums, for no discernible benefits for many of us. Ever hear of the K.I.S.S. principal?
I have a Maverick and absolutely hate the twist knob! It's 1 of the main reasons I was looking at upgrading to Ranger. Now I expect a bunch of people to chime in about how they love it, but they probably don't switch back and forth between 3 (sometimes 4 counting the RV) vehicles like I do. The...
Exactly! Some people are jumping off the bridge already because Ford didn't announce every last detail and roadmap for later variants on initial reveal? That's not how they do things :headbang: Mavericks came out with the base models in 3 trims with some options the 1st year of production, then...
I haven't found a Tacoma interior layout that fits me to this day. Ergonomics all wrong for me (and others I've talked to). Will THAT be fixed in the new 1 too? Time will tell, but I have no reason to even consider them at this point. I'd go Nissan Frontier instead and learn to live with the 5'...
only in CREW cab configuration- and optional from what I learned on their B&P site this morning. I need/want the 6' bed on extended cab (KING) cab similar to Ford's SCab. And I want it in 4x2, not 4x4.
probably have to wait until the 15th when the order guides are out and B&P tool goes live to get more details. This was just the reveal, not opening of orders where you need all the trims and pricing.
