Loaded up and ready to roll on? LOL...

Is the engine noise you are noticing from the outside with the hood up or inside driving? With the hood up on my Fusion (like after an oil change) it clatters quite a bit from the injectors and such. Hood down and driving it is very quiet.

That is an old tag. The new one is Okay to Sell.

When I bought my Ranger in 2019 it was actually at another dealer that my dealer had to make a trade to get the vehicle for me. My truck showed up in my dealer's inventory when it arrived.

It may not be this way in all States but here in Michigan you only pay the 6% sales tax on the value of the purchased vehicle less the trade in value of your trade. For example, if the Mav is $25,000 and your trade is $4500 you would save 6% on the 4500 or $270. So you would need to make sure...

What problem is there in delivery? I think the 'problem' is misunderstanding what a preorder is.

The number is the payload capacity not the cargo carrying capacity. The two are not the same. Payload is defined as Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) less the empty weight. This is the maximum the truck is designed to carry. The payload includes everything you put in the truck including...

Did you opt for the Lux package or no?

In addition, Li-Ion has performance issues in the cold. They require heating to be useful. The latest go around for motorcycles are Li-Iron batteries but most people do not run their bikes below freezing much less below 20 F. Li-Iron is not as prone to rapid thermal events but has slightly...

Very insightful logic in your evidence chain! You centered on it but for a different reason; the enemy of tow capacity is transmission heat. Yes, the key to the capacity doubling is the transmission and transmission cooler. However, that will transfer more heat to the radiator so the higher...

For those of you that keep saying you do not understand why a company would put an embargo on news of a new product just look at the flurry of news coming out on the new Toyota Tundra. On one day we all of the sudden have videos, magazine articles, detailed rundowns of specs on each trim level...

I ordered 6/28 and have not been scheduled yet. I did order the Lariat with the Lux Package which was only scheduling at 17% as of earlier this month so very few were filtering through the allocation/scheduling window in that configuration.

MSRP is, in fact, a 'recommended' price. Dealerships are a separate company from Ford Motor Company. I recently was browsing a Chevrolet dealer's inventory online. I was looking at the Camaro 1SS Convertible in their stock. The description stated "price plus 7,000 for added dealer items."...

If there is a Ranger near you at a dealer go take a look at it. The cab dimensions are almost identical to the Maverick except the Mav has 1 cu ft more interior space. This will give you a real good indicator if it will be big enough for you. My opinion is the answer is yes.

At this point in time relative to production scheduling it is likely that all the fuel economy data has been submitted to the EPA and Ford is waiting for certification verification. The scheduling for expanded production starts tomorrow for November so it is a good indicator that the...

Scamp 5th wheel. 2900 lbs with 400 lb tongue weight.

Okay to Buy is not a dealer event. This is a milestone in the program plan where all the trucks covered by the decision can now be sold to customers. The plant will hold the units that they made with 'make like production' processes and everything has checked out. I am curious to the wording...

An ID4 at $40k with a $12.5k tax credit may have ME even looking to pick one up!

Especially on flat ground near sea level. Hills become an issue pretty quickly, especially at altitude.

My FWD Fusion 2.0L had a combined 26 rating when I bought it. That is for a 2WD sedan. This rating is for a truck which has aero qualities not as good, has extra weight and driveline drag of AWD, and also spins the engine at a higher RPM due to the higher gear ratio of the 4K tow package. That...
