He was probably referring to a big truck, pretty much all of which have saddle tanks either behind or below the cab. Dads old L700 had the step to get into the cab made into the fuel tank.

To play devils advocate you can sometimes get heavier duty suspensions with the diesel over a gas which would offset the weight of the engine from a legal standpoint. Not sure on the newer trans (older trucks, at least F-series were similar gas/diesel) but the rest of the driveline is generally...

Dual tanks used to be pretty common from the factory for gassers. It was a factory option on my truck. It is hard to find tanks because JY's just stab tanks to drain them but I would like to add a tank to mine. Certain years do require cab removal to work on the engine, mainly the 6.4L...

I use them for on the side of the road if I don't want to pop the spare on or my lawn mower. If I can (which is most of the time) I throw the spare on and drop off the tire with a leak at a tire shop. They do the dismount and patch on the inside.

They have always looked weird. They started off looking like a knock off Wrangler, now they look like a knockoff Geo Tracker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troller_T4

Aren't they heavily based on the Ranger/Everest? People were hoping they would stick the solid from axle from a Troller under the Bronco... which doesn't look very likely now.

Exactly. If I designed a truck, tested it to meet my reliability requirements and it passed before it went into production and was sold to the masses, and some yahoo jacks it up and puts big tires on it and drags it back in with 6 neutrals... I would tell him to shove it where the sun doesn't...

Isn't that only on the ZR2 trucks from the factory?

It would have required a complete redesign of the truck to make it in the thicker, harder to form and more expensive material. Probably requiring do more to the frame than they already did too.

They will knock some off, they do it to leftovers all the time: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/new/searchresults.action?sourceContext=NewCarsTab&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=t78380&distance=500&zip=84004#listing=255198569

Yeah, when yesterday's news (a 2019 still on the lot) doesn't look any different than today's news (a 2020) or even day before yesterday's news (a 2018) you have to mark them down to move them. Ranger is new to the market so right now there isn't a lot of incentive to mark down the 2019's which...

A Supercrew XL F-150 starts at $33k. That is 2wd with the 3.3. The XL Chrome Appearance Package I picked is $775, STX appearance package is $1995. Without the 5.0 the F-150 is at $46k before any negotiation or discounts and is option to option very similar to the Ranger I would order.

About $10k which is fairly considerable. A Supercrew STX FX4 Ranger like how I want is $37k, a comparable Supercrew XL FX4 (with some dress up stuff, I don't care for anything that comes with the F-150's STX package) 5.0 F-150 is about $47k. That is sticker to sticker, rebates vary and the...

Same, ‘81 C10 and some little Buick car when I was little. Dad even added a fourth lap belt to the truck for when my brother came of age (4-5 lol) I go farther more often than dad did with his pickup, it was rare for him to need a pickup more than 30 miles from town. Right now I have my...

Tacos been off my radar for 2 years because of what you mention. I was all wound up for a Ranger until we played with one last weekend. Pretty sure the car seat won’t fit in the back, wifey was not happy with legroom on PS... so there goes that.

And I kinda hate the suicide doors on my F-150...

That is not what "spotting deer" means in this situation. The DNR has nothing to say about somebody putting ditch lights on their truck to see deer around the roadway so they don't hit the blessed little things. On low traffic gravel roads running at the speedlimit, I kick the Hella's on...

I don't know about the rest of you but I have been seeing hail dings in the hood of my truck just fine for the past 6 years from the cockpit. Right now I am pretty much just going to rebuild the front end of what I have (new upper control arms/ball joints, tie rod ends and alignment) so I can...

They can be not bad. Chromed out kills them though, the massive front end looks even more massive then. Either way the 16+ SD's are too much $$ for me yet on the used market. Most you see in real life are chromed out XLT+ or XL fleet trucks that barely have pneumatic tires. 99-03 SD is my...

I am a Ford guy... but I can't stand the look of a Ford (or any truck really) made in the last 10 years. Truth be told a F-150 is probably what I "need" but I can scroll page after page and none of them do anything for me. I can't put my finger on exactly why, they all look generic which...
