Or just fly Alaska. Who always serves microbrew beer. Or Delta from London (but you might have to settle for some fine Oregon wine). Then you can fly to Portland, hit up the 5 breweries in the airport, then hit up any of the 60 breweries in town. $1,600 to fly to Columbus? You couldn’t pay me to go there.

No, our utility trailers don’t have brakes at all, and when renting, it’s just easier to get the larger trailers which have surge brakes. If I need to tow something with electric brakes, I just use the van.
That was hardly forcing. The black one clearly sped up to close the gap when the blinker came on.
I love the EB. We bought 3 (1 got totaled, one was for my brother). They did make the Focus 1.0 hatch, but stopped it when the RS came out. Now it’s Sedan only. I think 2017 was the last year in the Fiesta hatch as well. That said, it’s only fun with the manual. The 6R15 slushbox completely ruins it. It shifts too…
Nope. The Fiesta only holds max boost for about 20 seconds, so on extended grades over 5%, that’s when you’ll have downshift to hold speed, with a trailer hooked up.
Both the Fiesta and the Focus owner’s manual only state that hitch limits should not be exceed, and that hitch weight + cargo weight + passenger weight must not exceed GVWR.
6th gear on the FoST at highway speeds is still turning pretty fast, because the diff ratio is pretty low. It’s definitely not lugging.
They didn’t even flinch, and I’ve done it numerous times. I actually like the bigger trailers because they have brakes, and the single-axle ones don’t. U-haul’s general towing policy is to not let the trailer exceed curb weight of the tow vehicle, or capacity of the hitch system. They don’t care about or even reference…
I pulled 1,500 regularly, and wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest to recommend towing that weight. I towed 2,000 pounds from North Idaho to Portland, and it was fine, but I did wish that trailer had brakes. They never got hot, but stopping distance was definitely extended.
No joke. People freak out when they see me towing a trailer with my Focus ST. Which is funny, because I can loaf along at 60 MPH in 6th gear, up a 6% grade with a 14' enclosed trailer, while the Ram 1500 next to me towing nothing is doing the “DOWNSHIFT-upshift-upshift” game all the way up the grade. Before the FoST,…
Why would it only get the 2.3L, when the Edge ST already has the 2.7LEB. The RS will certainly at least get a higher-output variant, but I do think the 3.5L is more likely.
Pretty sure the author has no dicks to duck or suck...
Why? The EcoBoost is a far better motor in every way except the slight MPG penalty. The diesel Transit owner’s as a while haven’t been real happy, since the emissions system doesn’t tolerate idling or short trips well.
CAFE has applied to light trucks since 2007. The current silly loophole is the “footprint” calculation that rewards larger vehicles. So the F150 is covered. So is a Transit T350, because it’s a “wagon”.
1st gear - If they didn’t adjust data for new residents from California, their data is flawed. Commuting in Portland, it’s blatantly clear who the transplants are.
No, they won’t. But if you start targeting the property owners who authorize Dicks/Lincoln to impound from their lots, they might be more selective who they chose to authorize.
I worked for a AAA contractor during grad school, and we had a full service auto repair shop as well. One regular customer dropped her car off one day to see if we couldn’t find the source of a foul odor. The car wasn’t exceptionally dirty, just a little bit of fast food trash. This was not the odor. It was kinda like…
You probably didn’t have a reaction to the antigen component of the vaccine, but likely part of the substrate. Most are egg based, and if you might have an egg allergy, a recombinant-based vaccine will alleviate that. But you might also be having a reaction with another part of the vaccine such as one of the stabilizer…
Because this is the federal standard, it means states cannot implement shorter limits for this particular combination. States have a long history of caving to railroad lobbyist pressures to make trucking less efficient. If you picked up a state DOT book, you’d see a similar digram showing 75' maximum, or 85' or 95' or…
