Sadly most people have forgotten what real steering feels like. I jumped from a Corsair to my FiST the other day, the steering was night/day, but in the Corsair i found that i didn’t have to brace for impact when going over pot holes. Even more pronounced is when i jump from the FiST (which has decent E-PAS) to my…

AWD is something people know they want, its easy to sell the benefits. RWD takes more explaining, people don’t have the attention span for it. 

Even if the Tier 1 supplier is local, the tier 2 and 3 suppliers source from China. Good thing there is a 5+ week shipping time, but yeah, i’m surprised we haven’t heard about shutdowns yet.

The Over The Air architecture is coming, its just not in current vehicles.

To find people that don’t look like the country club you’d have to go pretty deep into the ranks...

Can you wait a couple more years? And does it have to be called “Ranger”??

I think the FiST suspension has shaken your brain loose a bit (its broken my back). Expecting an Escape to drive like a FiST isn’t reasonable. Most people are looking at the infotainment and not paying attention to the suspension anyway.

Most people don’t care what wheels are driven on their vehicle, Ford is learning this with the Explorer. Spent tons of money developing the engine/drivetrain/chassis, there wasn’t much left over for the interior, and no one cared that it was an all new RWD vehicle.

Its alot, but might not include what the suppliers should be giving back. If your parts fail and its the suppliers fault they should really be the ones paying you. Problem is, agreements like that take a long time to negotiate, the 2019 numbers are far from settled. 

Alot of the issues they’ve been having recently are software/integration issues. Getting features to work correctly with all the other features. Yes you have to make sure the physical parts are OK but its the software thats been killing them for years. Putting money into the connected vehicle architecture is a first…

The manual transmission cars are more reliable, why didn’t you consider one of those?

Still there as far as i know, but its been over 6 years for me. 

If you’re ordering just “chile” as a meal you will probably get a green chile stew which might have meat or beans in it. If you’re getting chile on top of a meal (smothered is life) its usually just roasted/chopped peppers.

You Savage.

If you remove the doors there are more mounting points for light bars...

You can go ahead and make your deposit at the dealer now. 

Who said anything about 10 speed being standard? 

Don’t google Eyelashes for VW bugs, or Miatas....

The NA ranger is just a gussied up version of the ROW Ranger that was being sold for years before it launched here. The Bronco is a clean sheet design, not constrained by previous design decisions. 

All white New Balance i get, but i never understand the hate for cargo shorts.
