I loved everything about my 2005 Ranger FX/4. $6,000 off sticker price, paid cash for it so no added finance charges to jack up the overall cost of the vehicle. No recalls over 18 years of ownership. No buggy tech, not even a TPMS system. (I am old school, I use a tire pressure gauge I carry...
Gotta be the instant torque from the electric motor that is causing these premature failures on the Hybrids. Well, doesn't have to be but it is all I can think of at the moment. :ROFLMAO:
I'll never forget talking to a guy with a Santa Cruz at the gas pump. He made it perfectly clear to me he was driving his WIFE's SC because his truck was in the shop. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

This started about 3 months ago. Over this course of time about 5 or 6 times while trying to play music on my iPhone with CarPay, the music only plays on the phone not on the trucks speakers, necessitating a reboot of the infotainment system. Not a big deal as tech is always buggy but hoping...
I'm not interested as I despise LED running light war paint headlights. One of the things I liked, among many, with the XLT Maverick was no war paint running lights.

Tariffis concerning vehicles made in Mexico seem more centric toward Chinese made vehicles, especially EV's, wishing to undercut US made vehicles thus putting US automakers either out of business or severely curtailing them.
Trump & Ford will work things out and I do not believe there will be...
Most EVs sold — 78%, according to JD Power — are still in the premium segment. Truly affordable EVs are few and far between.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk talks about this a lot. "There are lots of people who want to buy our cars. They just can't afford it," he told investors last month, reiterating a...

YES!!! Preach it brother. Who made the rule that all these EV's need to be pimped out with the maximum level of tech and bells and whistles and cost a small fortune.
Maybe this is a big reason why EV sales have tanked recently.
I've owned IH Scouts, a Jeep Commando (the one...
Those of us that live where the roads are sanded and salted in the winter would be well advised to stay away from car washes that use a brush during those winter months at least. It is just common sense, which is not so common anymore after reading some of the threads in this post. :whistle:
