Rotational Mass Effect = Heavier tires increase rotational inertia, requiring more energy for movement, which can decrease MPG. Rotational inertia refers to the resistance an object offers against changes to its rotation. Heavier tires have greater rotational inertia, demanding more energy for...
I believe they are referring to the gator skin textured sidewall. It does look a little like the plastic tires you would find on a PowerWheels or a cheap remote control toy car. Fortunately, It looks as though it's only on one side of the tires. Unfortunately, for tire techs, i'm sure there will...
They need to sell off some of their stake in Safelite, and move the bottom of the A-pillar forward about 2 inches to increase the slope angle of the windshield. Routine windshield replacement shouldn't be a necessary part of the yearly maintenance budget, especially when they're continually on...
I see more dealer discounts in the near future! Or the Union will be getting their 32 hour work weeks they wanted, but without the 40 hour paychecks. Just maybe this will help drive the QC issues down too.
I found one exactly like this and it's currently priced at $69k after sitting on the lot for almost 2 months. I also found a 4 door marked down to $71k. Deals are out there now & it just blows my mind that people actually pay/paid these markups.
Have the made any updates to the IWE systems in the last few years? I ask because i've noticed a lot of the 2011-2017 F150s with the IWE setups needing hubs replaced more often. For example, my buddy and I both bought 2016 F150s (5.0) around 4 years ago. His was a Lariat with the 4A system and...
Sorry to hear this OP, this sounds like an all around terrifying shituation! Whether it was operator error, programming, mechanical failure, or a combination, @Ford Motor Company should definitely investigate this and put some resources towards finding the cause. For as many 6G Broncos that are...
Yes they are. Supposedly available to add to existing Broncos or new orders.

I've owned nothing but Fords, and for the last 30 years, almost every one has had some iteration of the Shift-On-The-Fly 4wd system. From what I was always told, they're designed to do exactly that, as long as your foots not on the gas and there is no load on the drivetrain. I've always shifted...

He's had several newer wrecked GT500s through his hands, and a Braptor. His Facebook page is usually a little more up to date than his website. I could see him getting a hold of a Raptor R sooner than most.
I haven't seen any black on black in a couple years. The painted MOD tops were supposed to be available in 22. I found a black on Oxford White, and a black on Race Red. There are a few more older threads out there with prototype photos of the painted tops...
How about maintenance and reliability? I have a 2016 F150 5.0 with 190k miles and all its needed is a water pump, starter, and the leaking coolant line connector. I don't think i'd ever own an Ecoboost that wasn't under some kind of warranty.
Back in the 90s there were a few different variations of the tonneau covers made for the 5G Broncos with the top off. I'm sure someone will eventually come out with one similar.
This company might still be making things as well;

Never did hear how that whole poor fiasco concluded, or if it has yet.
