If you're asking about the Tremor, then it appears that all all trim levels have 4A. The transfer case in the 400a & 401a package rely on clutches to fully lock in 4H & 4L. I expect this works very well when the truck is new and begins to degrade as the miles pile up, especially if 4A is used...

The best I can tell, the difference is that the 402a (high) level Tremors use the Raptor's transfer case that mechanically locks into High or Low, which can be read about in detail here: https://www.sae.org/news/2020/03/ford-raptor-unique-front-driveline The low and mid-level Tremors (400a &...

5.0 life ain't so bad! The 5.0/10 speed combo with 3.73 gears should still be pretty terrific with 34-35" tires, and it has none of the benefits or drawbacks of the Ecoboosts. Of course, the 5.0 may have it's own downsides, but it sounds great with an exhaust!

Make sure you're running the correct tire pressure for your tire size and load using a load/inflation table such as this: https://www.toyotires.com/media/3729/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf Many people running larger than stock tires, or LT-metric tires on a vehicle that was...

Ford shareholders who hold 100 shares for at least 6 months are also eligible for X-Plan pricing. You just have to contact investor relations with 6 months of statements to prove the stock ownership, and they will issue a PIN.

Ford also specs a 2% reduction in GVW & GCW per 1,000' elevation. At 8,500' that's 16-18%, or nearly a 3,000 lb reduction in rated GCW on a max-tow truck. At the highest elevations out west, you're looking at a capacity reduction of 20%+. Ford provides a lot of information in their towing...

I'm curious if the overheating issues while towing are all coming from trucks towing travel trailers, or if there are flatbeds in the mix. There's a lot of wind resistance generated by the front surface of a travel trailer (non pop up), and Ford's towing guide has trailer frontal area...

That same configuration is $58,840 south of the border.

It's a G80.

The lack of AFM/DFM and a $50 credit is due to the chip shortage. GM is opting to build the trucks without cylinder deactivation if they don't have the chips to control it. I was underwhelmed by the skid plates when I crawled under a new Z71 while I was truck shopping in 2019. The GM...

The 5.3/6 speed in the Custom Trail Boss is the same combination used in the K2 generation GM trucks, so it's the 6L80 transmission and the 5.3 with active fuel management (V8/V4) instead of the new 5.3 with dynamic fuel management (selectively runs on 1-8 cylinders as power requirements...

I don't entirely dislike screens in vehicles. The screens are very useful in combination with back up cameras, and I enjoy the benefits of Google or Gaia maps on the screen using CarPlay. I do dislike the trend to ever larger screens, and I do not want to have to use a screen for anything but...

The Pro and XLT come standard with a 12" screen. That's as small as it gets in the Lightning. I'm pretty sure that even the most basic regular 2021 F150 now comes with an 8" screen.

I'd spend the extra $50 and get a NEW SPOT Gen4. I see them for $100 direct from SPOT and at Sportsman's Warehouse; REI is still $149. I've been very happy with my InReach and appreciate having two-way communication, but the initial purchase price of the device is higher.

I hope to at least see an expansion to offer an extended cab 6.5' bed since it shares a wheelbase with the crew cab 5.5' configuration. I have no hope of Ford offering any regular cab Lightnings, since even the regular cab long bed rides on a shorter wheelbase than the extended and crew cab...

I believe the range extender will be most useful to alleviate range anxiety while towing.

The smallest screen on the Lightning is the 12" screen. On the 2021 F150, the base screen is an 8". None of the F150 screens appear to have physical preset buttons as of the 2021 model year.

Car and Driver's article, dated today, on the Lightning Pro confirms the $10,000 upcharge for the long range battery (at least on the Pro). It also shows the interior with the 12" screen, and it appears that even the base model will include bucket seats and a full length console. For a base...

The issue that I have with Ford's range extender is, according to the patent, it will be disguised as a bed mounted toolbox, so it will take up space in an already short bed. I like the idea of a range extender to make EVs viable for remote long-range travel, but taking up bed real estate is...

As I understand it, the Chevy Volt starts the gas engine periodically just to ensure that fuel system issues don't develop as a result of long periods between refueling. Does the Fusion Energi not do this also?
