Ok let’s put that to rest the frames that bent where from people 1) exceeding the factory limited top speed (put their b/c of the tires) 2) installing aftermarket springs that deleated the bumpstops. Put all that together and you end up with the frame damage. On my own personal Raptor I have not bent my frame in the…
The equivalent SUVs cost much more than trucks with the same equipment in the case of Ford about $15k more with the same options so if you need something with 4x4 seats 5 and can carry cargo, and tow the pickup is the more economical choice, plus they hold their value better than the suv in the long run. I prefer…
The 10 speed is used in the mustang and Camero. And it is known for quick shifting, in both cars it’s faster than the manual. it could be a tuning or software issue additionally as the trucks were preproduction prototypes all the kinks might have still been being worked out.
At my last job in, manufacturing, they kept hiring new college grads with engineering degrees to be supervisors on the manufacturing floor, in addition to two experienced hires without ones myself with a geography degree and a guy with a supply chain degree. Both of us had worked in logistics before. Want to guess…
Ford actually does the opposite it send the transit connects over with back seats that it takes out to sell it as a cargo van. The chicken tax applies to light trucks which the Amorak is reguardless. The Subaru brat had to have jump seats to get around the chicken tax which safety regulators would not allow to be…
I think Ford did that for a while then the share holders got upset and asked Mark Fields to resign then canceled all their cars.
The 10 speed has been in the camaro and f-150s and raptors with the 3.5 ecoboost for a few years now and is now in the mustangs F150s and GMs up coming full size offerings. I would not be too worried about it.
Utah upped their speed limit to what most people were doing so the people that don’t speed would speed up to the flow of traffic and it really has made driving around Salt Lake City much better. Here is an article from when they implanted the new speed limits as too the states reasons. http://archive.sltrib.com/article…
Out west we have stuff on the side of our roads like cows and elk big rocks and trees as well.
Let’s be honest they are going to bring a ranger raptor here other wise they will miss out on people buying parts from Ford Thailand and bolting them onto their rangers. Or aftermarket companies here coming up with fakes. There is an f150 across the street that looks like a raptor to the Untrained eye but it has a6.5’…
I’ve worked in manufacturing and sons lines can be changed over quite fast. Heck Doritos and Tostitos are made on the same equipment. Look at Toyota they make tundras and Tacoma’s on the same line as well ford marking all the diffrent variations of the f150 on the same line. You pay the engineers who set that up a…
Ill answer that one for you. 1 it is the configurations and options available, you can literally spect an f150 many different ways. For instance they offer 4 seat options on the Raptor alone for this generation, a tundra TRD Pro line my brother has has no options to upgrade the seats, no OEM heated or ventilated seat…
Almost all the lockers are made by 3rd party, Ford has more power coming out of the raptor and it has lockers ditto for the power wagon.
I had similar experiences with my GM products you just never know when they were going to engage the locker. i was driving in a forest trail in the mountains and i could see an icy patch on one side of an off camber climb i knew if the locker engaged id be fine, but the time it engaged the drive wheel was hanging off…
The Ford system can lock in 2wd up too 25 mph before it disengages. the Gen 1 Raptors while in “off road mode” can engage their lockers at any speed in regardless of the transfer case setting. My experience with the G80 in my z71 and other suburbans was that it was great compared to the other offerings in the 90s and…
As an owner of trucks with sun roofs IDK why people order this option or Fords stupid size pano-roof i live in AZ and i keep that closed there is enough light as there is. But Defiantly agree on the Diff both my F150s have lockers that are electronically engagable on the raptor in off road mode at any speed mind you ,…
Its not just Ford all the pick up makers do it. Even within the F150 line there are huge differences between the models. Looking at my F150s my raptor and my platinum are the same generation and i think the only similar parts are the front doors different bed different frame different cab different seats, trim,…
Not Doughnuts but the stupid shit like speeding through a warehouse smacking into things playing grab ass with coworkers as he was driving by. Sometimes it can be dangerous for the manager to confront the hooligan on the forklift and it sound like thats what the guy ho lost his leg was doing. Most forklifts work in…
We had an incident at my last job we fired the guy but sometimes people do stupid stuff no matter the training and leadership.
Most factories allow up to 16 hours and i don’t think that OSHA has a specific time limit. The military has to follow OSHA and sorry Mr. Badguy but GI Joe can only work 12 hours a day is to going to fly. Were I worked in New York it was common in the plant which was union to force people a 16, you just needed to make…
