I use my truck as a daily driver, so I'd take a manual over the current lazy 10spd auto in a heartbeat.

Almost directly across the state from you in the Sheboygan area. I'd shopped a 250 mile radius in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan, and finally purchased in Antigo WI. The dealer experience there was great... a couple emails to confirm availability and price, a phone call to put deposit down...

Hadn't heard they were eliminating X-plan. I know it's been hard finding a dealer that would honor it. Thankfully I did find one here in Wisconsin who did, and they didn't try to add any dealer markup extras.

Well the article does compare it to a Malibu and the original Hummer. Hummer EV: 341 grams Bolt EV: 92 grams Malibu: 320 grams (21 less than Hummer EV) H1: 889 grams That being said, until get serious about energy sources like nuclear, the following...

SCab only for me. I like hauling things more than people. :wink:

I couldn't wait... I just found a good deal on a new '22, (XLT Supercab with 302A, towing, and locking diff packages). Amid a majority of local dealers still blatantly jacking up prices over MSRP, I found one still willing to accept X-plan pricing. And, it didn't have "Dynacote" or any other...

Fortunately for the US, we have our best people on the job and our government is taking a multifaceted approach to solving the automotive chip shortage issue. 1) They've boosted the rate of inflation so fewer people can afford to replace their existing vehicle with a new one. 2) They implemented...

I was recently shopping for a '21 Ranger FX4 and had to avoid looking at the Tremor package, because I know I would love to have it, but I have far more need for a longer bed than four doors. Then again, I'd rather have the Bronco's 7spd manual than the 10 spd auto, so I guess I'm a unicorn shopper.

Welcome! Either way, I don't think you can go wrong. The Maverick is a little to light for my needs, but I think it is a great option for a lot of people.

Personal request... can we get it in something other than Family Truckster form? I have more need for cargo in my truck than people.

I wonder if you were thinking about the Australia Ranger vs Hilux numbers. I think Ranger surpassed Hilux in that market. I would think the 2019 - 2020 numbers might be more telling than the 2020-2021 numbers. The chip shortages last year hit some manufacturers, like Ford, much harder. I...

Based on limited time with a 2019 TRD Sport, I was not impressed with the power delivery. In my case, it was the 6 speed manual, so it wasn't a transmission issue. I was recently driving a low mileage 2019, and I don't think it had been modified in any way, but it drove like it had significant...

About a year or two after they discontinued the Ranger, I wrote a letter to Ford asking them to bring the Global Ranger to the US, but call it an F-100 so they could still count it in their F-Series sales. My first vehicle was my grandfather's '74 F-100 Custom. I don't think the new Ranger...

I hope they don't use the same design lines as the Tundra. I REALLY dislike the look of the new Tundra, and Tacoma was always fall back if the 6G doesn't get a manual transmission.

That, and I don't think the tapered front quarters on the Wrangler helps either. Bronco hits pretty square to its crumple zone while the Wrangler is almost a glancing blow.

Disappointed they dropped the idea of a Bronco truck. Was really hoping for the best of both worlds, or at least a compromise between them.

That's my biggest regret with waiting for the Bronco I wanted and not just ordering the Bronco I could get. At this point, if I get what I wanted it will be a 2023 Bronco. I should have taken what I could get and sold it for profit, and still had the ability to order what I wanted.

I'm kind of in the same boat, except I already have a Bronco on "order". It's currently code 99'd because I wanted the white Modular top, but that looks like it's delayed until 2023. I'm a day one reservation holder and wanted a Bronco like this since the last of the 1G's rolled off the lots...

I may be wrong, but I believe the Lightning chassis is unique to that product. The Lightning only resembles the F150, and very little is shared between them. I think the main reason it looks the same is to share existing F150 accessories, and also, as you mentioned, to avoid alienating...

This made me think of a chart that leaked out last year on the Bronco6G forum when they were speculating about a full size Bronco. I had to do a lot of digging but here it is. Since then, I know Ford has introduced the Timberline Explorer, which likely slots in below the FX4 Expedition. But...
