I really hate you for doing that Eruption Green. Now all I will be doing is looking at my Rapid Red FE when it arrives and wish I had that color as a choice. Thanks man!
True, but that is before you compress the suspension. I would bet on seeing that pipe at least flattened after the first rough ride. I've seen it too often.
Just like your 98% paved road figure, 98% of the people ordering a FX4 package will never seen a muddy field, sink hole or rocky surface. So unless you are just going for the "look" and willing to deal with the downside of the "off road" package, I would stick with the standard or towing setup...
If anybody sees any head to head comparisons, especially a 0-60 mph run, I would love to know about it. All I've seen is one with a "YouTube" guy and it was a 6.4 for the Turbo and 7.59 for the Hybrid. It wasn't a controlled test since he was just out on an open road with a handheld meter. I...
I was thinking the same thing. I'm surprised there wasn't a question about how well he could see his reflection on the new paint. You know what they say, "No good deed goes unpunished".
One of the things I don't miss about CA is the dealer markups. I always bought out of state when I lived there just to avoid them. Sad they get away with even charging $1,000 over. Just greedy.
That a BS story if I ever heard one. You can't change a final drive ratio (which ordering the 4k tow package does) without either replacing the transmission or the drive axels and that's just the start. At that point it would be better to sell and buy a new truck.
Well if they ordered a round steak thinking that was a prime cut and then got it replaced with Prime Rib and lobster for free when I ordered that upfront and paid the price for it, HELL YES!
You see, your analogy makes as much sense as a farting in a closed vehicle and comparing that to one cut...
Eco of course. Only way to go. Said I'd never own a red vehicle again, but that Rapid Red is just killer. It's also the least chosen color, so won't be bumping in to one on every corner, unlike the Area 51.
Yes, a lot of people did know this because of simple physics and logic. Towing 4,000 lbs with a 3,700 lbs vehicle and FWD doesn't work/not safe. And they shouldn't be penalized for knowing that, just as the people that didn't know that shouldn't be rewarded for it. There is something inherently...
In my usage of ignorant, it was not meant as derogatory term as the word has evolved into. I am also ignorant about many things. We can't all know everything. In this case, I understand many depending on a dealer for guidance, but my point, although maybe a little to blunt, those in the know...
I'll take my chances with those you want to consider "knowledgeable". I've been in marketing for 30+ years, including having Ford as one of my many auto clients for most of that 30 years and understand the "reality" of what can happen when you make a poor business decision. I also understand the...
