Just shy of 500 lb-ft of torque makes it not "just another wimpy 240hp engine" That is within spitting distance on both hp and torque of the vaunted old 7.3 Powerstroke. 260hp/480lb-ft Ecodiesel vs 250hp/505lb-ft 7.3 Powerstroke (in automatic trucks, 275/525 in manual) Never been around one...

How does a person keep the roof from just falling off when they replace that back board with both sides disconnected? Just build stands that go to the ground? I don't see it teetering on four 2x4's very long?

The roads are not plugged with tankers now. There will be tankers in the country for the foreseeable future. Electric is barely starting to compete with ICE for cars, it is nowhere close to touching diesels in farm equipment. Like not even on the same map. A couple big lithium batteries would...

Dashes do vary between trim levels. What was so bad about the back seat? Just a crappy seat or? Only event near here was a an hour away last Thursday which was really convenient. Didn't go.

Just thinking out loud, the thing is like 8' off the ground popped up. If I could just lay the roof upside down on a couple folding tables it would be a lot easier to work on if it wasn't too much of a Pita to get it there.

Ant guestimations on what the roof weighs? AKA how many volunteers will I need to set the roof off?

To those that have gone down this road before, please tell me how good my research is! On facebook a guy shared a writeup on how to fix this style of lift system (HECO) Somebody gave it to him so he didn't write it and nobody really knows where it came from. In all my research I never found...

Nope and it is driving my wife nuts. I suspect we probably have close to a year to get our car.

The trim you can't get paint protection film on because of gvw concerns? Color me skeptical, sources? I have always heard 37's thrown around with the "warthog"

Very few people owned a steamer outright, same with thrashing machines. Neighborhoods formed co-ops where a bunch of guys would pool their money to buy on a steam powered tractor and thrashing machine. All the owners basically formed a "crew" and they would travel around all the farms in the...

Not sure who copied who there, they were announced at the same time as the Bronco and beat the Bronco to production by miles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TANK_300

Changing tires WILL effect the powertrain warranty.

Yeah, all black interiors are not a selling feature for me. My tan Ranger and gray F-150 interiors... I can almost grow potatoes in the dirt on the dash before they start looking dirty. Black shows every little speck of nothing and if it is gloss every smudge possible too.

Towing is so variable you will get nothing meaningful. A big lawn mower on a flatbed vs the same weight in a cargo trailer... its all different. My F-150 (2v 5.4) with a 22gal tank pulling 7k tractor/car trailer combo does fine by me, I don't get all this fuel tank paranoia. Even at 10mpg or...

Ram's Hemi engines are still pushrod too. Really in NA truck land it is just Ford that is OHC. My wife is getting a 4cyl Bronco, my next truck will either be a 'zilla or a Hemi. Personally I am looking forward to getting rid of the bulk involved with OHC V engines.

Gotta pay to play. If you need 300 horses you are gonna feed 300 horses.

The spare currently under my dd was found laying in the middle of the highway with the little carrier thing and a short chunk of cable under it. Nice tire, rim even matched my flavor at the time. The carrier on my F-150 somehow jammed so I couldn't get the tire down. It was a bloodbath getting...

Better than a few years ago when welds were failing and junk was falling off the frame...

My tire size (31x10.50-15) is a factory tire size for a later Ranger and not horribly huge at all, no way it would fit on the stock carrier. If I didn't despise the POS winch things I could easily fab a channel iron crossmember and add a winch carrier... I just don't like them though (although...
