And in the Ranger can be OEM chipped to 315 I’m told.

And according to that link, it makes up to 350 hp in other OEM applications (Focus RS) and makes 310 in one of the standard Mustang configurations, so it would seem well able to handle the bump without deleterious long term effects.Quote:

We don't currently own a vehicle with a MT, but my kids are going to learn to drive a stick even if it means buying a clapped out old Civic for them to learn in. Better yet, I find an old hunk of American iron that the boy and I can fix up.
Driving a stick is one of those skills that if people don't have it, I automatically think less of them. I'm sure some people think I'm an a-hole but at least I can drive a stick and change my own tires.
Same here. I am very good at driving manuals smoothly and precisely. It comes from a dad that taught me how to double clutch on backroads when I was a kid in a little BMW and driving 10 speeds with no synchros most of my life. It is an important skill only to me though. Nobody else cares and it is an obsolete skill now that trucks are mostly dual clutch automatics. It was always a pleasure taking someone out and shifting through ten gears with no clutching and no shudder at all. On the other hand my off roading skills are marginal at best so it balances out and I still own two manuals to practice my self serving craft.Quote:

I hate to say this, as I am a Ford and Toyota guy through-and-through. I HATE the way GMC's drive--loose and like a mattress. But....
This past week my wife's German rocket ship had its 10th failure in a year and we said sprekens de fuck off. My wife replaced it with a 2021 Tahoe with the Z71 package (that was my doing, admittedly).
Ho-lee-shit. Those bowtie folks definitely figured shit out. It steers and handles tight, like a Toyota. The visibility is WAY improved and the interior is clean and intuitive. On the way home from Boise, I suggested we take the "bat cave" which is a ~20 mile BLM road to our house instead of the highway we generally take. It's a mixture of dusty gravel and also grated mining road--basically smooth and fast and also really rough and bumpy in places. That fucking mom-wagon was GLUED to the road in 2WD. I was pinning it (wife screaming) and I couldn't get it to budge to save my life, and the ride was similar to my old 80 series with remote Bilsteins. Only criticism is that with it's increased size over old Tahoe, it definitely feels heavier, which is good and bad. We got the 5.3L but a Z71 with the 6.2 would be the teats.
As painful as it is for me to say, they nailed that package.
Carry on.
Ditching the solid rear axle will do wonders to that truck. I had a 2012 Tahoe and swapped it out for the Expedition but I probably would have stayed with Chevy if they had IRS in 2018.
Stick to your guns, Badlands is the way to go.Quote:

It only took 40 years for that to happen again
Did that thing come with Indiana Brokeback there too?
I actually think it’ll be a useless skill in their lifetimes, but I learned on a stick and only owned them until a couple years ago (which bothers me) and I think it makes you pay more attention and be a better driver. It’s also a dad duty. I tried to teach my wife and it didn’t go well. It bugged me for years until a friend pointed out that it was her dad that failed her, not me. I can’t put another man through what I had to endure. :DQuote:

With the emergence of EVs it won't be around much longer though. I figured I might as well get one while I could, it wasn't easy to find though.
Maybe it was a Missouri Show Me thing ?Quote:

I can't imagine what I could find interesting unless he has a Dr. Everett von Scott thing going on.Quote:

The good news is, Ford gave him more than enough rope to tie Dr von Scott up if he so desired.
And assless chaps.
Probably.
Well it certainly makes it less fun to say.
Agree for all but true off road heads. That same page where that chart came from in the comments shows the Badlands with 33's. Looks awesome.Quote:

The big question is will they make the 7 speed with all the goodies in enough quantity so it becomes available at a competitive price (like invoice plus 500] and isn't just a unicorn.
I could see myself in one. Our 03 4R isn't getting any newer. But it isn't breaking down either for now.

Seriously if Ford offers that body package on the petrol pony it will sell.

In an era of moronic fucking bullshit, drifting is way up near the top.
I’d like someone to explain to me why the “Mustang” Mach-E is a bloated crossover.
Ugh, considering this is the bronco thread... yup.Quote:

My PS pump got bad enough in my old 7.3 that I could hear it sometimes. If I could hear it at idle over the engine, it must have been so goddamn loud.Quote:

Think she put her arm out and degloved her hand between rock and roll cage. Instinct has you bracing for fall.
Dropped my $100 and got a reservation email. I’m late to the game so sounds like mine will be a 2022, which is fine by me. I reserved a Base 2-door.
You don’t specify anything in the reservation process other than (1) dealer, (2) model, and 3) doors. And all of that can be changed.
Currently thinking 2.3 with manual. Color is up in the air, but that Velocity Blue is really cool.
Base seems to have everything I want. Only options I think I will get are tow hitch and sound deadening headliner. I will probably upgrade wheels & tires right away, and use the stock steelies during the winter with Blizzaks.

Got an email from Bozeman Ford thanking me for choosing them, followed up by a phone call from the sales rep this morning. Good customer service so far.
Learned something cool. 7MT comes with 4.46 gear ratio, auto trans comes with 3.73 (unless Sasquatch, then 4.70).
I plan to upgrade to 33's (285/75/16) so the 4.46 ratio will be perfect.
FKNA.

Congrats, Harry! I bought my current ride (my now old Volvo XC70) from Bozeman Ford and they treated me really well and paid us really well for our trade. Literally did a trade where we walked away from the dealer paying $0.00. :D
At least with us, our salesman (Bob who has since retired) was no fuss, no muss and didn't try to sell us ANYTHING extra, which was awesome. Made the trade, shook hands, done. Never even had "the talk" with any manager whatsoever. Hopefully your experience with them will be just as good. Especially on a new car.
I think you 100% made the right choice with going with the base model. That's what I would do. They'll be PLENTY capable out of the box and closer in spirit to the original Bronco. Then if you really want, you can make your upgrades over time as you feel like. I have a feeling we're going to see a LOT of poseur factory-pimped out Bronco drivers here in the next couple years. Kind of like the scourge of Raptors and decked out Jeeps that have never even left pavement.
Hope you get the steel wheels! No need to worry about scratching some precious delicate alloys out there on the trail. ^_^
For those complaining about the Sasquatch package being unavailable with the base manual, it seems like Ford is at least testing it on the manual truck, so we'll see where that leads.

That's awesome harry! You'll have to drive that thing over here so I can take a peek. Come hit disco or if its summer we can test that thing out on our way to fish some spots.Quote:
