Wait....is it the late 80s again. mini Truckin' was already a thing...with magazines and everything.

AKA .... Gimmicks 

nope

“ keep it below 2500rpm until it gets to operating temperature.” - How the heck am I supposed to do that if I’m driving the thing? I need to goose it shortly after leaving my garage to get it up to Highway speeds. Also, Be nice to have those windows defrosted so I see that Semi. 

I had that same year Bronco. Mine had the Captains chairs though... and that spare tire mounted on the back in order to increase the rear blind spot. Fun vehicle, unless you have big mud tires and hit a patch of ice. I’ve never spun around so quickly in a vehicle. It’s like a figure skaters spin. Missed the semi, flew…

I had that same year Ranger Splash .... 2.3L ... old pinto engine. Parts were dirt cheap. Brake Pads? $30 CAD . One morning I threw the timing belt... oh, NON-interference engine? $38.75 CAD!  Picked up parts after work, fixed that evening. Try THAT EcoBoost!

This is sort of like mandatory vaccines isn’t it?  ....

I thought it was “ ITIn ”

Large pickup trucks / heavily loaded work trucks.

FORD RANGER

I like in the Nomad ad as soon as they try to attach the rear of the tent the front just pops right off.... Quick cut to a babbling brook.

This is something that you would expect the dealership to definitely catch on a PDI.  /s 

Around $24,000 . up to 40MPG city. Ford Maverick

Tesla wants people distracted. That way you NEED the Telsa Autopilot feature. 

Tpms with indicators for each tire?... How about no sensors at all... Either no system or the sensor in the hub instead. Some of us snow people like to have traction for more than 6 months out of the year and put snow tires on. Paying for extra sensors and having to reprogram the system sucks! Damn the US for…
