Due for the next 45 day on Friday, my dealers lot is now pretty full. No mavericks, on their lot. None of the following are in transit although they have quite a few more that are. The lightning is their new courtesy vehicle.
Bronco Sport (3)
Edge (6)
Escape (14)
Expedition (1)
Explorer (6)...
That was a bad year for us as well, I’m glad we haven’t gotten rain yet this year. We’ve been fairly mild this year, only hit - 50° once, more -20’s and 0° days then -30° and -40°’s.
We still have march and April though, could get a lot more snow.
I will see how the stock tires do for the first year, then I will replace w the Toyo’s. If they made AT II‘s that would fit I would go with those. They do exceptionally well in mud, dirt, snow, and Ice.
We are sitting at about 36” total So far, with about 13” just in the last week. Last year we had over 70” I was running out of places on the property to put it. Last year it stuck around till late May.
Last year in Dec it dumped 20” over a two day period and then warmed up to 36° above and...
With the fx4 package, the only thing missing is the trailer brake/ which is why you need the 7 pin connector. But yours has the 4k package.
The fx4 package, by its self has the everything the 4 k has except the 7 pin and trailer brake controller.
Every inverter I have ever installed on a vehicle requires the engine to be running. It‘s a quick and dirty way to turn your vehicle into a generator. It does kill the life of the alternator over time, as they are designed to run the electrical system in the vehicle, it won’t hurt every once in...
The only gripe I have with the ford, is the sel comes standard w heated 6 way seats. The xlt doesn’t, it’s not even a stand alone option. You have to order the lux package that is constrained apparently. Which you can’t get w the fx4 package, so no skid plates. Not that the sel comes with skid...
I know, I was just being a smart ass. I expect it to be here by May, guy I work with ordered a bad land’s bronco in march from the same dealer. It arrived early Dec, so I expect it to take 9 months as well.
Thing is Ford has a diesel small diesel that they put in the ranger in the mid 2000’s over there, it was getting over 30 mpg back then.
It makes no sense that we can’t get a small diesel pickup truck here in the states.
Well it does if you account for the corruption in our government.
Just...

So across the Atlantic ford is offering this, roughly 36 mpg in the ranger thunder.
But here in the states we aren’t allowed to have it. Diesel is much more...
Got my third one this morning, seriously wonder why it hasn’t been built. Not as though it’s a hybrid, it has zero constraints and it’s a ecoboost. It’s almost as though King Friday and Daniel are in charge of production.
My 45 day is due Saturday, ordered 17 September 22.
Ford sent out the thanks for ordering on 21 September 22.
I’m literally at the end of the line, only ford dealer farther north is the one in Deadhorse, 500 miles away.
