I actually added later - if I have to pick up pipe, usually 10ft, I can slip into the window. Only reason I have it is to stick long stuff through

really dont want two cars, but do love the gli. stage 1 apr flash. completely smokes the 5.7 HEMIs. close as I can get without going to a track is around 4.6 - 4.8 0to60. Its fast. But goes though the coils and plugs (once a year maintenance). Was a mess to get hooked up until 245s comp2s...

from someone who had a tough go of it. first week pretty normal, like a cold and seemed to get better. then second wave came as the virus moved into my lungs. Downhill from there. What saved me is getting an oxygen sensor to measure with remote monitoring to a nursing team. They sent me to...

been listed at 8.5 sec 0-60. not fast, but quick enough to be functional. The early torque will make it feel fun. Now the Jeep wrangler plugin I ordered is 0-60 in 6 sec or less (some have gotten 5.5). Yes, I ordered two new first year hybrids. Never bought a new vehicle in my life. but...

I figured that not an actual test drive, they had to sign to it. This is prob pushing it as far as they could get.

the turbo compresses air to achieve power. At higher elevations, the air is thinner and the turbo is not able to achieve density. On super chargers, they have a pulley that spins the compressor faster to accomadate. But a turbo is kind of set with exhaust driven. Has nothing to do with fuel...

with the sema video where they talked about lowering, complete front end, suspension upgrades. Going to wait for a year to see what shows up, but I really like vehicles that stick in a corner. thought I was going to have to give that up for this vehicle, but thinking I will be able to have my...

yep, I usually save one tire from the first tire change and buy a used matching rim. now I can always update my spare to 'good' rubber and have matching if spare is needed.

good video, wondering if the hybrid has no cover/skid plates covering the right and left sides between the wheels that is on the awd. If not, I may add later. I like to hear about the performance side, that was the concern I had coming from a very capable vw gli. sounds like I will be able to...

has anyone modified their order? did the time reset? My updated sheet has a new date and order number. But I didnt get a new confirmation email from Ford. Hate that no one knows anything.:mad:

I did, then I cancelled it. Reason? I was in love with the thought of a sunroof but when I thought about how much I actually used it in past vehicles (like never). Then there is the cost. Wanted to keep my truck under 30K so cancelled the moon roof and ford 360 (Im an old guy, learned to look...

ya'know was just thinking, inserts are just that, inserts. I may remove and recover the granite with maybe a cloth and replace. Will have to think on that one

My 76 stallion pinto did not explode

Yep, but for some of us, town/mix is 90%. And owning two trucks, that’s the killer. Highway is a wash because there is no functional benefit from hybrid in that case. I see (hope to see) the benefit from hybrid for daily town driving. But agree, if you are a primary highway driver, then...

I feel like the cost of the factory install version of the tri fold is pretty high. Any feed back on aftermarket tri folds vs factory? Locking? durability? functionality?

yep, spent a lot of time researching both - low risk in the ford I think. Very robust and proven engine and powersplit eCVT (better than a manual trans in terms of wear items). Jeep has more risk no doubt. Just being a Jeep is risky! But we are close to retirement and want to spend some time...

Pinto was my first car. was also almost my last. was 16, just glad it didnt explode, but I loved that car

the Maverick is the first hybrid I bought (June 11th), but the PHEV Jeep wrangler will be the first vehicle I own (ordered June 26 - expect delivery late August). With policies less friendly to carbon fuels, I see the potential to move to Europe type fuel costs, which is significantly higher...

2.5L/162-hp/155-lb-ft Atkinson-cycle DOHC 16-valve I-4, plus 126-hp/173-lb-ft electric motors. Yep, they only publish the combined HP. I think the line of thinking still applies. electric on the low end; engine comes to the party later in the revs. I would like to see actual HP/torque curves

Higher the octane, lower the energy in the fuel, but more chains are 8-carbon, which is the most stable molecule chain in gasoline. hence, octane rating measure percent of 8-chain molecules in the fuel. Total waste to use if your car can not use it. Cars with variable valve timing can advance...
