Standing next to my truck, both left side doors open.
Doors locked on the key fob,
I shut just the back door,
Key fobs in my pocket,
Panic horn starts up only to be turned off with the fob.
Yep some younger did that.
Got my 20,000 miles service today,
Full synthetic,
Tires rotated,
Fluids topped off, only my windshield washer fluid was low.
New Engine air filter at my request,
New cabin air filter at my request,,,
And it made a noticeable difference in air flow and smell,
Plus that mechanic in a can they...
Traction control off,
Slippery, puts equal amounts of power to all four wheels.
Low is best for crawl climbs.
500 pounds of crap in the bed would have got you up it.
Next time start with the Tacoma. Itās Whut Idda done.
I think mine being only $250 was because I have FIVE devices on the plan.
Again my plan was unlimited data so no throttling or data banking no roll over bullshit.
ā Plus, at my age, I have trouble hanging halfway out of the drivers window to grab my prescriptions and food take-outs at drive-thru's!ā
Hahahahaha Roflmao !
They donāt build em for us old farts, weāll be dead soon. We donāt matter, we may be on our last or next to last vehicle.
They are...
No throttling on my Verizon plan.
Two IPhone 16 proās, monthly payment included in my bill.
Plus an Apple Watch my wife loves.
And the two free IPad elevens we got with the package. They add $10 a month each.
$254 a month.
Again no throttling back, ever.
I canāt, I got this info from Ford when they tried to order me a set of defender 2ās.
The 2ās that are still available are showing up with only older date codes. I donāt ever want that.
She said she could still get them but it might take several days to scrounge up a set.
The big tire houses...
My Verizon plan was the best deal, bang for the buck with unlimited data, By far.
I thought most everyone was on unlimited data.
Especially with 5G up in so many places.
At work I can choose 5G
It is so very much faster.
I tried to get defender 2ās
Only three left at the warehouse. Seems production has ended because the
Defender 3 is on the way.
I purchased Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3ās in the factory tire size, they are plenty wide enough to give me superior handling.
They are super quiet, even on the crack...
I think our 2024ās were the last to have it.
Take it out of the glove box, mine sits on the back of the toilet. Itās good for some light reading from time to time
Above 75, my Ecoboost turns In a consistent
29-30. And above 80 she easily holds 30 and 31 mpg at 85.
Around 60-65 28 tops.
Turbos work like that I guess.
In stop and go city traffic I get around 22 mpg.
ā Since they don't give you a paper copy anymore, some people may think, "Read the manual, what manual, I only got a pamphlet !"
Can you still hit the parts counter and buy an ownerās manual ?
I hear you, but I seem to be able to find the applicable page just as fast in my owners manual.
Reading it and watching paint dry, yep good point.
When my truck was new Iād make a list of three or so things I wanted to know then use the index and find the answers.
But there was a few...
Iāve made an observation,
Ecoboost guyz find answers in the manual first and if they canāt then they ask in here.
Mavbrid guyz ask in here first.
I think itās because us old farts buy Ecoboostās
and the Youngers buy Hybrids.
Itās a different mind set. Us old guys consider asking for help...
