1 - the 2.3 is fine on the lighter 2-door.
2- Biggest downside is that an auto is not a stick. Who want's to drive a soulless automatic?
3 - It's fine, although you may want better tires. Although I think that's true for all factory tires on all cars.
4 - Yeah, the Bronco is like an AR-15...
Stick or Auto?
I normally expect about 40k on fronts, and 120k on rears on any vehicle I drive (stick).
Wife got about 25k on brakes on her Expedition.
Tire life.... I expect factory tires to be the most absolute garbage that barely meets DOT specs. I have 10k on my tires and am really...
Flip works for a Ford dealership. He either got one, or two. Actual Level 3 Fast chargers. Depending on how much trenching they had to do, and whether they needed new transformers, a single unit can run a quarter mil install.
Not level 2, Level 3. Level 2 are for charging overnight, or "feelz". We have free Level 2 chargers (free as in the city/taxpayer is paying for the electricity) downtown, and you get 3-5 miles of range while eating lunch.
I voted keep for a long time (I normally keep a vehicle until at least 160,000 miles, we have one with 260k miles on it).
However, I may be taking a job in MT. In which case, I would likely trade in the Base for a BD. The wife's STX for an FX4 would probably go first though.
You know the Tesla supercharger cables are liquid cooled right, and have been for years (at least the Version 3 chargers)
The big issue for a lot of folks is home charging. I could run an EV just fine for most things, and borrow the wife's truck for everything else. I have a reasonably new...
2 Door - Manual.
I hate, no detest, driving an automatic, and I'm getting too old to crawl into a car 3" off the ground. So, not a lot of choices left.
Restart after stall by hitting the clutch is not part of A/SS. All newer Fords do this whether A/SS is on or disabled. It's a separate function.
(and by newer Fords, I guess I mean Bronco and Mustang, because that's all that's left)
Zero seconds. Zero seconds is the right answer if I have the Air Conditioning on. Any interruption in my A/C is unacceptable.
Fortunately I ordered a stick, and I never have it idling in neutral except at the drive-up ATM or to drop off the mail, but in my wife's F-150 it is simply...
Where I live, any place that sells oil also has a collection tank for used oil. O’Reilly or Autozone just lets you walk into the back of the store to dump it in the tank.
Like I'd let them drive my car. I had to drive it out of the back lot of the dealership when I bought it because the sales drone didn't know how to drive a stick.
