Nice, so just have to give up your trunk space for the fuel tank and air cylinder, small price to pay for having magic doors.

Just don’t fly your SkyActiv through my MultiAir and we’ll get along fine.

It’s been done before, Ford offered an electric Ranger from 98-02

Great read, but when you mention Swiss Guard technology this is all I can think of:

no worries, if they work like the running lamps on most GM trucks 1/2 of them will be burnt out in a few months.

How did it do going back up that hill?

It evaporates pretty fast if you add fire

Yep, on Chrysler’s old fuel injection systems the MAP sensor feed flows through a barometric pressure solenoid, which opens every so often and allows the sensor to sample outside air pressure.

When it comes to rental car burnouts you can’t beat the Chrysler vans. I’ve seen first hand that they make a much more impressive smoke show than a Mustang V6 convertible where the traction control just won’t let you have any fun whether you turn it off or not.

Curious to see how it looks in the base trim. That’s the version most popular around me as probably 80% of the contractors and landscapers here are driving Fords. A black bumper and grill might tone down all that bling and look better.

I would say it’s the opposite, they share “bits” like the cab and interior, but most of the core parts (Frame, suspension, drivetrain) are different.

Glad to see someone is doing this. I always thought there would be a market for Excursions with a refreshed drivetrain, interior and nose.

Comment I heard at the drag strip the other day while a Honda Fit made a pass “He must really like that car because he’s spending a lot of time in it”

In my mind, yes! That’s the only redeeming part I’ve seen so far, who doesn’t love riding wheelies.

I’ve come across a few Sno-Runners over the years but never ridden one. Always thought they looked fun.

in IL it’s 25 years on the historic plates. Funny thing is I remember how long I waited to get them on my 73 Roadrunner so I could get past emissions testing it.

I’m going to reccommend the Dodge/Plymouth Neon, in particular the first gen 95-99 models.

They were similar in styling and market back then. The Daytona came out first in 1984. Both even had “Turbo II” engine options at one point.

I’ve got 20% of the cars on the list in my driveway. The 92 IROC R/T Daytona and a pair of Turbo Plymouth Voyagers (89 Auto, 90 5-spd)

It works in regular fuel too. I’m guessing a catalytic converter would just burn it off and ruin it’s effectiveness but they say it’s safe for 02 sensors so shouldn’t hurt anything. I’d still be hesitant to use it on a newer car. But a motorcycle, muscle car or lawn mower, have at it.
