I have to dig for the info on other manufacturers. Many of them have vehicles sitting in lots waiting for parts. Where goofy shit like Ford having problems getting their Blue Oval Badges. Ford get's a lot of bad press. I think Toyota is more willing to stock pile parts where other manufactures...

Crap I saw another brand new Toyota Tundra in my area. I am wavering as a Ford Guy. It just seems to me the other automakers have their shit together. Yes, i understand the supply chain issues and commodity prices etc. Ford's having issues with their new vehicles releases along with paying a...

I was hoping the 6G Ranger would coming with a manual transmission. Not now they are problematic. 2024 Mustang Transmission Options Have an Issue (msn.com) I don't know what its with writers and Ford. I see a lot of bad press. Although Kia and Hyundai have a lot of bad press. Then I see...

Very Cool info. We will see.

Can't help but be impressed how quickly the new Toyota Tundra is out on the streets. I can see that Truck will out sell the F150. Next year. I live in Vancouver Canada. See lot's of Bronco's, but that's at least 2 years later after launch. Yes, lot's of factors. Toyota is showing you can get a...

Supposedly, the defect is in the metallurgy, where the valves become brittle due to heat in the valve chamber. Usually, something like a stem breaking or the valve dropping into the cylinder will cause catastrophic failure. Even the engine block can be damaged beyond repair

Canada Dealer not honoring Lightning Pre Order price. US not altering price. $11 K Canuck buck more. We will see how this pan's out. Hopefully Ford steps in...

It could also have been a Heat Treating issue of the Valves.

I like this Engineering stuff. Its all about Metallurgy and Batches of Valves produced in a certain time line failing on the 2.7L Bronco. It sounds like Ford test the batches of Valves and should have caught this. Hard to detect though. The MI Wayne factory has way too much going on. Producing...

In some way's I wish the NA market would limit the options so they can get the truck's out quickly, like the ROW. Sad only concrete grey on the Raptor.

I am talking Globally. subsidies , grants, incentives, etc. The Government’s announcement yesterday of the removal of a key incentive to help consumers purchase a low emitting Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), UK Here's a good article from Germany that sum's up their opinions of PHEV's...

I am wondering if the PHEV will happen with the Ranger. They have cancelled it on the future Mustangs with the ICE motor. I have read that Governments are less likely to subsidies them. They are finding that fleet vehicles are not being plugged in as much as they should on PHEV's.

The new top model will be the GMC Canyon AT4X, which will cost $63,350 for a launch edition.

Let's just get back to Quality Is Job 1 #. Lot's of car makers are have an abundance of recalls.

2.7 L motor GM Engineer: L3B turbo-four is a true truck engine (msn.com) Looks like GM strengthen the motor in the right areas so it could handle the low end torque it produces. Ford has the better automatic transmission.

Look on the 5G site to give you some idea. For stock suspension you play with the Rim offset. You are trying to get the tire enough clearance in full suspension travel. Different Gen of truck. Ford does use a bolt on bar front and back of the wheel opening to prevent the tire in a collision from...

From what I have read about ordering a vehicle is you want to get a car purchase agreement contract. This is suppose to lock in the agreeded upon purchase price. Read the fine print. Gives you more power if the Dealer try's to make changes when the vehicle arrives. Don't just put a deposit...

I still have the last year of the 2011 Ranger 2.3L motor . Must have a standard tranny. 145 Hp. You were not going to offer that in 4 WD. So basic. Roll up windows an XL. Easy to work on. I still believe the 2.3L, 4 Cylinder block came from the Pinto. 1972 Pinto . Mazda helped Ford to design...

I laughed. Looked up PreRunner. MotorTrend had a great blurb. "Arguably the most popular truck for building into a prerunner is the 1983 to 2011 Ford Ranger. Not only did these trucks make up the bulk of sportsman race trucks, but they were also inexpensive to both buy and modify. The next most...
