You're right, you can get downloaded areas on Google maps (and Apple maps), which on-boards them to your phone. The nice thing about built-in GPS with onboard maps in the dash is that it's not using up phone memory. And frankly...unless you don't use a phone, and unplug the data-sending...

The dealer should be able to do SOMETHING for you. What, I don't know, but they've got some leeway. The last used truck I bought (been a WHILE), came with a 3k mile parts warranty. It was a 6.0 PSD. Turbo unison ring locked up, took them a week to diagnose, wanted me to pay full price despite...

I don't know about in the Bronco because we never used it, but if you're towing in some vehicles, it will warn you about bridge heights ahead. That can be handy when hauling a large load or an RV...but with how little the Bronco is rated to tow, I don't know that it would ever be a helpful...

Yeah, parking lots are terrible, mostly because if you've got something nice, everybody with a beater wants to park next to you. Like dude keep your junk away from me and stop trying to door ding me.

You guys are funny. I used to daily drive an F350 dually, and had zero concerns about fitting through the ATM lane. Braptor is just a wee baby.

This is absolutely my take on it. I LOVE getting out on a country road with a manual and putting the hammer down. Driving for long periods, working the corners, etc. It's the most fun one can have. But as I get older and more of my younger-days injuries start to catch up, driving one every day...

I love my manuals, I really do. I wish our Challenger was one. I miss my old '68 Firebird with the Muncie 4-speed. But after a 10 hour day at work, I am tired. I don't want to shift. I just want to get home and relax. I have known truck drivers who don't own a single manual...

I mean they're within 3 lbs of each other, so they're actually pretty close. But I get it - I'm picky as well and like them to be within 1 lb of each other. They are on my truck. That said, if I check them after my truck has been sitting at work all day, one side will be 3-4 lbs higher than the...

Even in my home state there's different regulations depending on what the particular place you're trying to drive is. For instance, MOST routes (because a lot of SxS's and 'trail rigs' are too wide for actual trails, per state rules) if you're running a licensed/registered vehicle with a plate...

When we were buying ours, our salesman had recently sold a white one. The purchasers apparently brought a magnet in when they picked it up that said 'juice approved' with his face on it. He showed us the picture. I shouldn't have chuckled, but I did. If your state lets you get that many...

Definitely going to be cheaper to buy the painted top option from Ford instead of getting the MIC top. Couple that with a lot of people are having cracking issues with the MIC top, and I'm not sure how well the MIC top is going to take to being prepped for painting, since it isn't intended to...

Lots of good points in this thread, but I wanna call this one here out - because it's absolutely true. There's a Walmart everywhere, and a majority of them anymore have a tire/service center. They typically will do mounting and balancing for free IF you are buying the tires there. They're not...

As others have said, check your local laws. Some places it's a no-no without a doctor's prescription, others have limits on what can be done even then. I would personally avoid the windshield if you're going to be driving after dark. As others pointed out, tinted windows are harder to see out...

I'm not gonna read through this whole thread, so if someone else has said this I'm reiterating it. Ford wanting your VIN is a CYA for Ford. They don't want to be held accountable if you purchase the wrong parts for your vehicle, or put a part that isn't meant for your vehicle on your vehicle...

Somebody told him an Excursion will fit on one of those trailers. Which I HAVE seen a picture of...and I wouldn't recommend it.
