Tow the same trailer with the newer ISB Cummins and Powerstroke back to back and you’ll know what sustained power means. The Powerstroke is rated close to a hundred horsepower more than the Cummins, but they’ll make it to the top of a steep grade at the same time because the Powerstroke ECU backs down due to…

The 2.7L is absolutely massive in terms of physical size though, I sincerely doubt it would fit. Not to mention, I also doubt the rear-end was built to handle that level of power.

Since at least 2013 Ford has adopted the SAE J2807 standards for determining towing capacity. A max-tow (4x2, extra cab, tow package, etc) Ranger is rated at 7,500, which includes a trip up the Davis Dam.

r/gatekeeping.

So, um, instead of making readers do the math, you could maybe just print the numbers. Not to be a jerk, but this “...makes 35 more lb-ft of torque than the Colorado’s most powerful gas engine, which is rated at 275 lb-ft of torque...” is a needlessly convoluted way of saying, “It makes 310 ft-lbs.”

What the fuck car are you towing?

I like the idea of the Ranger returning to production, but is it a compact pickup or is it another midsize - nearly the same size as the F150 was 25 years ago?

I can vividly remember car rides where cop parents were just telling you about smashing black people’s heads open with a disturbing glee. They’re lunatic assholes. And I’m talking about half a dozen parents I knew as a kid just from my grade school.

Nope. I grew up in a cop neighborhood in chicago. They were all racist morons.

Did you miss the picture he posted of the big boi leaning against his cruiser?

Well you’re nine fives of 100 percent wrong. He was talking about the obese ass oinker 

A half second is significant? I honestly expected much more for nearly 25% weight savings. (4500lbs to 3500lbs)

I was getting 50MPG in the rental I had this summer and that was just a regular Fusion hybrid, not plug-in. It’s actually a nice car and fleets should have more of these kind of vehicles. I bet the old Crown Vics got like 10mpg and had significantly higher emissions. Plus, battery makes sense for much of police work,…

“Police are no longer honest or trustworthy.”

It’s almost like many early police organizations were originally criminal ones.

The police have never been honest or trustworthy. Especially when it comes to their interactions with Black people.

They haven’t been trustworthy or honest for decades... they’re just not hiding their shit anymore because most of this country is full of brainwashed bootlickers and believe anything cops say.

I’ve got to be honest, with all that’s happened in the last few years (and probably more importantly, the way that the police unions and rank-and-file cops have responded to criticism) I’m not even sure it’s “most cops.” I’ll grant “a lot” or even “many,” but the way that the police unions circle the wagons to…

^^^ This. Most police models are designed to idle for hours without overheating precisely because they do this regularly.

This one pegs the bullshit meter to the max. I used to live in Texas and had an Impala. Sitting in traffic in 105 degree heat with dew points near 90 degrees had zero effect on how hot the engine ran. Police cars have upgraded cooling systems to help them deal with being used harder than civilian cars. They’re…
