Port injection mostly works at idle per a Ford technician that someone posted on this site. It made sense to me so I would add that using top tier fuel might be an even better investment to those who have the later models.

was an avid snow skier for 60+ years driving hundreds of thousands of miles in winter with AWD, 4WD, FWD and RWD and never had just 3 wheels on ice. If three are spinning, the 4th will too. Think about it. You'd have to be stopped on a hill, on ice to replicate that test and the 4th wheel is not...

Interesting, thanks for posting.

I guess I'll have to trade mine in on a 26 if I don't want to keep getting stuck on 3 rollers. But honestly, I watched the video and tried to think of a situation where 3 tires had no traction and the front right did and by having the front right with power, you can pull yourself out from a...

Can't answer with specific data but my EB with a BMW R1200 GS and a 5x10 steel landscape trailer is 21-22 MPG and doesn't change much with empty trailer. I get 31-32 MPG no trailer. I drive in regular mode with this set up and only use trailer towing when pulling my enclosed. I suspect you may...

I have a 2 1/2 car garage on the house, a basement workshop, a 8x16 shed and 10 years ago I built another 20x30 garage/workshop behind the house with a lift that in the winter I use to allow more vehicle storage and I still have them filled full. Oh, I also have a cottage with 2 single garages...

43K miles on the truck and currently my milage reads 31.2 for the last 428 miles. About 80% of that was highway driving. Never tested the MPG reading on the truck but have seen a few videos of those that have and they appear reasonably accurate.

Ethanol does not have the same energy as dino juice so E15 would be expected to give lower MPG.

Actually, depends on manufactures build parameters. Since turbos raise compression, a turbo engine will likely run best on higher octane but a lot of non boosted engines should also have high test.

I've gone around with some Maverick owners on this forum, on this subject a few times. People believe what they want to believe. For the record, I'm a top tier premium user. A month back, just BEFORE my 5K mile oil change at 40K miles I checked the dipstick. The level was good and the oil...

I was extremely jealous until you guys told me it was a tow hitch and not twin 40 mm grenade launchers. (I thought Ford came up with an effective crash avoidance system)

I agree. I never considered the SC because the bed just wasn't there for me. Hopefully Ford doesn't screw it up but then this current CEO seems to have Bill's ear even with his business 101 acumen.

Wow, all the years I spent in the global oil business could have been so much easier if you had been in charge.

Profit all goes to Bob.

That's like me saying you have a 50 IQ because I'm only concerned with the left hemisphere of your brain. Do you think the Fed is the only one that taxes? Plus average profit is only $.07. I really think you should research your stance. Things are as bad as things are because people don't even...

That's a great deal.

First off, it depends on what you're using the truck for. No doubt the hybrid beats the EB driving in the city but outside of that, the two are very comparable. Second, here in the US, the government makes 10X or more profit per gallon of gas than the BIG OIL THUGS. Third, what do you think you...

If you want a pet, don't get a lab. If you want another member of the family, get a lab.

Wonderful car history and I'm a little envious but I'll stick with my 62 HP, big block Bugeye (1275). At 70 I'm fully immersed in the "more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow". Heck, when I'm on my GS 1200, I'm in rain mode (not that I haven't played lift the front tire in Enduro...
