There was a lawsuit somewhere in the last couple of years for the police Explorers leaking CO into the cabin when idling for long periods, so I think the first turndowns were an attempt to fix that. They may have just standardized on the turndowns.

The fake exhaust tips on the new Explorers are hilarious. If you look into the tip, you can see that it’s attached to the tailpipe, but there’s actually a turndown before the end of the tip.

A hacksaw isn’t going to touch a hardened lock, you need an abrasive cutter. 18V angle grinder would have done it in 30 seconds.

I had to unsub from holdmycosmo pretty quick once I realized its whole purpose was for men to realize their fantasy of seeing women get hurt.

The tires on this thing are absolutely hilarious - they took Firestone’s last generation crossover highway tire - the Destination LE2 - and just added some bullshit on the sidewall to make it look more rugged.

Frickin’ dams, that’s how the socialists get you.

Looks like Cougar headlights.

“Dueler” can refer to about 20 different light truck tires, ranging from sport tires, to crossover tires, to all terrains. Some of them aren’t great, but the Revo 3s are fantastic.

It’s mostly a longitudinal engine thing when the engine doesn’t sit entirely behind or in front of the front axle and you need to keep the drivetrain height low. Trucks have enough height to put the axle entirely underneath the oil pan but cars don’t have the luxury.

I have a pass-through kit and it’s super handy in several situations - if a regular ratchet and socket are too tall but I need more depth than a ratcheting wrench will give me. And it’s invaluable for taking apart strut assemblies that require a hex to hold the shock shaft in place while loosening the nut that holds…

Typical rock crawler rear-steer systems use a joystick or lever to turn the rear wheels. It’s only for low speed maneuvers.

A aluminum F150 on summer tires will feel like a race car in comparison.

That’s more common than you’d think.

Ford GT uses different cams, bigger turbos, aluminum intake, a dry sump, and different rotating and timing assemblies, all of which contribute to its “full honk” capabilities. The truck doesn’t have those things.

If it was 3 tenths faster, sure, I’d agree with you. But it’s THREE FULL SECONDS faster, and that difference will absolutely be seen by even amateur drivers. The power is usable. 

This engine is a rowdy player in the scene, and gives the GT500 probably too much power to be any good. The GT350 is probably a cooler car than the GT500, but maybe the GT500's engine is cooler in something that isn’t a GT500? Let’s think about it for a little while.

Race car drivers wear helmets? Nothing about the chin bar, position, or angle of the coffee maker screams “motorcycle helmet.”

Yeah the Bronco ride with Granger has been wild. They’re just a couple miles down the road from me and 100% would have been my choice had I put in a reservation.

Ford doesn’t make any money on dealer markup, and dealers aren’t cancelling orders, Ford is.
