You can plug into and charge off a regular 110/120V "3-prong" outlet anywhere one is available. Don't necessarily need a Level II charger to make good use of a plug-in hybrid. It'll take longer with a regular 110/120V outlet, but since plug-in hybrid batteries are so much smaller than full...

Sounds like it is for a fully loaded one, yes. That doesn't necessarily contradict having a base model be in the mid $50k range. And that amount of price difference from base to fully loaded doesn't seem crazy considering an F-150 Raptor can be anywhere from $64k to $86k.

You do know that the people building the vehicles aren't the same ones designing new and different ones. It's not like Ford is robbing resources from the production line to design new models and trims. That's not how a large manufacturing business works. This idea that somehow not designing new...

Most certainly won't be, but this at least shows that the frame, suspension, and other underlying components can handle that amount of payload and towing. So as long as the US/Can petrol engine(s) can handle that as well, and the additional regulations don't add too many more safety factors...

I mean, that's exactly the lineup they have on the F-150 right now: FX4, Tremor, and Raptor. And soon the even more ridiculous Raptor R. Not saying a Ranger is an F-150 level product, but just by bringing the Ranger Raptor to US/Can, they're saying they're investing in the Ranger for us, so who...

I'm not sure I'd consider that "gaslighting". More semantics than anything. It's just a name and a number. I'm hardly going to question my sanity if the first deliveries are in May instead of January. In reality the model years never really had much meaning anyways. Heck for the last few...

"Revealed", "starting production", and "delivery" are different things. Many vehicles, especially these days, get revealed/showed to the public for the first time many months before production starts. So a 2022 reveal of the US/Canada 6g Ranger is very likely. But the production start date of...

Because we have such different regulations and customer wants than the rest of the world. From a purely efficient engineering and cost standpoint it's much easier and makes more sense to design for the masses first and make the tweaks needed after that design is done for the select few, than the...

We put our two ~60lb dogs (three when we had them) in the back seat of our current gen (2019) Ranger without issue.... Nothing is perfect, always have to compromise on something and adapt.

As an Aerostructures engineer, I can tell you that aluminum definitely does corrode. Every metal and material corrodes and breaks down in some way. Aluminum corrosion just doesn't look like steel corrosion (aka aluminum doesn't rust). They also react differently to different materials. So...

At work early on a snowy Saturday morning. Got about 8-10" overnight, still a few more inches to come this morning before it tapers off. Wasn't expecting them to have plowed the work parking lot this early on a Saturday, but nice that they did. The roads on the way in hadn't really been touched...

Agreed. I'm more than willing to pay extra to get better mileage (i.e. use less fuel and create less emissions, thereby not polluting as much and trying to save the planet even just a little bit). Same goes for a hybrid version.

Another thing I've noticed as a benefit to our color choice, is that the Saber color seems to be one of the best for not showing winter coatings. The salt just adds a bit of lighter color to it, and the sand blends right in. It all just gives a more faded color and a bit more texture. haha

There are a couple other threads already being used on here to post topper pics and talk about topper use. They've been in the works for awhile, so they have a lot of good information and pictures already posted. I'd check those out. Been a lot of help for me, as another person considering...

We got 24" at our house just outside Duluth this past weekend. Spent 6 hours yesterday snowblowing and shoveling the driveway. Drift in front of the garage was 3 feet, the yard was up to my thighs, and the plow bank was up to my chest. The snowblower kept breaking down, either because of bad gas...

Went out and tried once again to complete this off-road loop I've been wanting to do for awhile. And once again, I turned back. Might not have had to, but since I was alone, it was cold, and I didn't have much fuel (my mistake), I didn't want to risk it. Got to swampy bit on this track which was...

Installed my Raptor-style grille lights this weekend! They look pretty good and even better at night! I've got some people saying the amber lights look good with the Saber truck, which I have to agree.

Finally able to get out and do some, albeit mild, off-roading this past weekend!! Definitely hit the first couple puddles a little too fast and got some muddy water sprayed inside (I like to have my window open when off-roading so I car hear what's going on outside). And did use the mud Terrain...

Heading out on another weekend camping adventure with the whole rig last Friday. Very wet and windy on the drive up, so that was fun with the 2 big sails on the roof. Made it just fine though and had a wonderful weekend with plenty of fall colors around already!
