First we really need to nail down "older" An '11 is the older bodystyle, the last year of production until '19. Half as old as what I am daily driving, not saying they grow on trees but that is only 10 years old, creampuffs are out there. Retired guys loved smaller trucks to go to the barber...

Tap on my phone. Typing seems weird to say when I am only using a thumb.

I didn't know you could buy a Bronco yet...

FWIW as I tap this I am sitting in the grocery store parking lot waiting on the wife in a 19yo 190k mile torsion bar F-150 on the way home from hauling a tractor for my dad. Torsion bar failures are rare.

Torsion bar came out in 98 for 4wds. Coil spring twin Traction beams ran from 83-97. For older rangers watch for frame rust around the spring and shock mounts, floor pans like everything else. Manual trans is good if the rubber shift plugs haven't rotted and let the oil (atf) out. Automatic...

There have been rumblings about a Bronco pickup too... Not the first time we have had more than one Bronco though.

Bronco Sport I assume?

It's already the same weight or lighter as anything else in the fleet with more power and deeper gears to-boot...

Advantec 190/220. Bronco will use the same axles front and rear aside from the more extreme models that has a heavier front. https://www.therangerstation.com/ranger-tech/dana-advantek-axles-ford-ranger/

Whatever it takes to total it. 10-15 years before the real fun of mixing and matching begins when they hit u-pull-it type yards. You probably already have but you might pit your basesquatch vs a Badlands. I am not sure about the front diff but they come with 4.70's, manual trans and sway bar...

Manual sasquatch has been late availablity since they announced it, probably a guaranteed '22 at this point.

Yeah but are they doing it for a week or for two years? Seems like a weird thing to tie up an ORP doing for years... I read somewhere it is supposed to maybe start this May... as per norm more info would be nice.

We had the MIC top from the start. I figured the painted one would get scratched easier taking it off and putting it on if we did that and I really don't care for the look of painted tops on Jeeps and figured the Bronco would be similar. So of course we missed out on a 1000 points towards a...

I canned my stock 3.31's for 3.73's. When I went from the stock 235/70-16 donuts to 265/75-16 tires (factory optional size) the 4sps trans hunted like Elmer Fudd in hills empty. 3.73's made a truck out of it. If the truck had 265's from the factory it would have also had 3.73's so that makes...

I suspect most of the early reservations are going to be towards the loaded end of things... can't build it if they don't have the parts. Ford nixed the plan pricing for the Bronco but some dealers were going to go a little under yet for those that don't qualify for plan pricing and they got...

4dr Black Diamond. The Sport is a sharp looking rig. Our current Edge is borderline too small for me, I have sat in an Escape and it is almost to the point where if I took out the front seat and sat in the back I would be ok. I figured the Sport would be similar. If you played the...

Its amazing what you can do when you don't care about your vehicle... like that crown vic that ran Moab a couple years ago. I am tired of dragging crossovers out of the snow, I am tired of cramming myself into crossovers and I am tired of working on sideways DOHC V6 engines that are bigger than...

6g, when they are not complaining about nonsense they are doing this predicting when everybody is going to get their vehicle: I can only take that place in small doses...

MPG has never been the Ranger's strong suite unless you got a old 2wd with a 4cyl. Neither was towing. However on a tight trail they will blow a '150 away, same for a tight inner city or if you want to keep it in a small garage. All depends on what you are doing. I own a '85 Ranger and a...

Windshield is fine for my F-150, it is too big for the windshield in my Ranger so I was going to mount it on the dash. I think the diamond base with a short coupler going to the included RAM adapter that bolts onto the magnetic cradle would be about perfect for what I have planned. I keep...
