  1. Calling all late 2023 and 2024 Hybrid Owners...soliciting your thoughts

    How is the acceleration? Also the jump from Electric to ICE? How is it at high speeds? I plan on getting one, or maybe a Toyota Stout, if they come out with it! I will only buy a Ford or Toyota, preference is Ford. Been my vehicle all my driving life and only new since 1993.
  2. Calling all late 2023 and 2024 Hybrid Owners...soliciting your thoughts

    It’s called tolerance, I have worked in aviation/aerospace manufacturing almost 40 years, you can have the best designed product and still turn out a POS! You’re partly right about luck of the draw, the other side is how good is the design! We really won’t know for years. From what I’ve seen so...
  3. Amsoil.

    It’s in OC, was 50 until recently
  4. Amsoil.

    I also get tire rotation fluid check and a clean truck
  5. Amsoil.

    I do the same for my Ranger, except I use Mobil 1. Price went up at my dealer, use to about 50, same service as what you stated, this last service was 97!!
  6. Longevity/Long term

    I’m 65 and thinking on my last new car purchase. I want it to last. My biggest concern is electronics, cars are dependent on computers. I will either go Toyota Stout or Maverick. Toyota’s do outlast Fords in general. I like the way Ford’s seats are, this coming from someone who has had 7 spine...
  7. Longevity/Long term

    Don't follow the manufacture for oil changes on the tranny, or transaxle in your case! I own a 2019 Ranger and I believe, it's 100K! For any auto trans oil changes should be in the 30 to 50K range. I am considering a Maverick so I joined this forum to keep up to date and read about others...
  8. *Proceed With Caution* Hybrid, Which oil to use?

    As long as any oil you use meets the specification called out for that part number it is ok to use! I do not have a hybrid but a 19 Ranger. I try to pay attention to what goes on and what is said in this forum because I am considering the purchase of a Maverick in the future. I have watched...
  9. Another reason to not do recalls?

    That sounds like me on any given day!
  10. Auto Start/Stop Disable -- Anybody Try This Method?

    I do this in my Ranger, light pedal work does the trick..
  11. Auto Start/Stop Disable -- Anybody Try This Method?

    Some folk don't want to have to push that button every time they start their truck! They just want it shut off!
  12. Forscan and second battery for longer stops ?

    Where would you even put a second battery?
  13. To higher octane or not ?

    Where did you get 13:1? Specs show 9.7:1 just under the Rangers 2.3 which is 10:1
  14. To higher octane or not ?

    I really do not have a good answer! So always, CMA...LOL My only thought is it burns cleaner. However I am sure that is debatable too. I'll attach a link for you to read which might help. However!! It's a dot gov, so I put that out there to CMA 😁😁 Hope you get a satisfactory answer.... Almost...
  15. To higher octane or not ?

    I use 91 in my 19 Ranger but I have also used 87 with zero ill effects. For D.I. forced induction 91 is generally recommended and years ago you would have to. Years ago engines wouldn't run 10:1 compression with forced induction because of issues with knock or preignition. Todays forced...
  16. To higher octane or not ?

    VVT adjusts for lower octane, I use it sometimes in my Ranger with no pinging, higher octane is cleaner burning.
  17. To higher octane or not ?

    Safe to use 87, better performance with 93
