The pre-refresh looked a lot better.

“Of course, the tradeoff for those capacities is that the Ranger Single Cab only fits a driver and one passenger.”

What a time we live in... This should be illegal.

It’s almost as if the way we do things in the U.S. doesn’t make a whole lot of sense...driving on highways in the UK we never saw cops and the drivers were better. They had average speed cameras so you were never surprised about getting caught. They have fewer deaths from cars. I feel like we could learn something...

Maybe they should put more effort into getting people out of cars instead of pretending like EVs are a panacea for climate change.

In a better world this monstrosity wouldn’t exist.

They must be talking about all 4 wheels. As in they have 3" of travel each. lol

Why couldn’t it have been a crossover?!

Look at how accessible that bed is...so nice. It’s too bad that’s almost extinct these days save for maybe the Maverick (which is also a much better value once you account for inflation).

Use the funds to implement alternate forms of transportation.

It’s interesting we care enough to have this recall, but the ~40,000 deaths from “regular” car crashes every year don’t matter.

Crappy corporations trying to cut costs as much as possible regardless of the result? I’m so surprised!

Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer did have its fair share of issues (probably the worst being the A/C compressor), but the powertrain was perfectly reliable and still ran great when she sold it.

My mom’s 2000 Expedition and 2011 Explorer both made it to around 300k with the original engine and trans before she sold them. The Expedition only had an alternator replaced late in its life.

I swear I read they didn’t sell these in the U.S. because they didn’t meet crash standards. 

I got an ebike in March and I absolutely love it. I live in a rural area about 6 miles from the closest part of town (Columbus, GA), and I still ride it anywhere I would previously drive in the area. But I’m kind of crazy. We do have a rail trail that I can occasionally use partly for some trips, but we need way more…

If it makes you feel any better the transition to EVs isn’t going to do much for the environment, either. The only actual solution is getting people out of cars for most of their trips.

My mom’s 2022 Explorer with the 2.3L gets the EPA stated MPG.

Should’ve used diatomaceous earth as it’s the most effective killer of bed bugs and it’s non-toxic.

‘Initially, Richards was hoping to buy an F-150 Lightning, but the truck was back-ordered. The salesperson could only get him an expensive trim that came with a high dealer markup. That markup added “insult to injury,” Richards said. He ended up buying a Tesla Model Y.’
