    The E85 my F-150 is drinkin... Flex fuel 5.0. Gets about the same if not a little better milage than my old truck got on straight or E10... so if I look at it like just right it is the same as a year ago for both mileage and fuel price.

    I paid $2.99 the other night... really like this flex fuel thing about now.

    It's hard to get new mopars for stock, pretty much all we can get are sold orders. I am on the wrong side of the lobby but I think we are still doing MSRP for special orders.

    As someone who has has bought a used F-150 and a new Bronco so far this year I am disinclined to agree.

    Appliance cars generally are cheaper. Hyundai has nothing remotely close to a Bronco in their lineup.

    Last I heard the count on Bronco 6g was about 40 bad engines. Internet is trying to make something out of nothing imo.

    An early run of 2.7's was dropping valves from what I heard.

    I kinda think a lot of the "problem" rather than young people that "don't want to work"... To avoid exposure or just enjoy life a lot of people retirement age working for something to do just retired. Both my wife and I have changed jobs moving up in the world to fill vacancies from people...

    A couple years ago there was a clean brown 84 roller on marketplace with a title. They had just pulled the engine and trans out of it. Asking $400 This was right after I did the 5speed swap on my '85 so I still had the C5 and 1350 tcase laying around. AKA I had a darn near perfect V8...

    Different uses require different trucks. I will not do things with my '150 that I will with my Ranger... and vice versa. Tight trails made for a jeep, tight barn lots and the like the ranger will pummel the fullsize. Open highway and heavy towing is the F-150's game. My Ranger does have a...

    Yeah, never had any of that happen with ours.

    I prefer the frame less, I just wish the door was longer.

    I do wish I could move the temp knob, after I sit in ours very long my knee starts auto adjusting the temp. Also the B pillar in my armpit gets annoying with the window down. But yeah, for a new car otherwise the cockpit isn't too bad.

    Making it is one thing, fitting it is another. I looked into enlarging a window in my camper to put a window unit in it. To do it right I would have to blow the wall apart, widen the studs and then reassemble the wall. As far as why they don't for things that theoretically will take a beating...

    Am I being ridiculous?

    I have worked at a Ram dealer for 8mo, we haven't turned away an exhaust stud/bolt job yet. If you can't weld you gain access to the bad bolt/stud and drill it out with a reverse drill bit. See also every other engine with aluminum heads, steel bolts and cast iron manifolds. My brother (shop...

    Euro campers don't play fair either. 200hp moves my lifted Ranger/Skamper fine though.

    The frame is different. For strength, crash standards or just mounting the steel front bumper the ranger team wouldn't say.

    New Bronco

    Payload is only slightly higher on the overseas Ranger, it also uses a different rear axle. Half ton payload has generally not been far from compact/mid-size since forever. Fun fact: the Ranger at the Ranger launch at the Detroit auto show in 2018 had a global axle under it.

    New Bronco

    Except they discontinued olive green in the states. Similar enough just looking on the outside, from my parts counter I have overheard rumbling of at least one price increase since I changed direction and sniped a F-150 off the used lot a month ago. I just rebuilt the truck online, like $54,755
