Ford have had a "learning" transmission computer for years now. A prime example is harsh shifting in my wife explorer. It's so used to the driving style of my wife, that when I drive it nice and easy, it gets confused lol

I didn't know that about windsor. But I cam confirm that the tech actually had a small chunk of it. You could see the grains of sand/material. So maybe that was an isolated incident or something from early production. Truck has been great other than that, 212k miles on it when I parked it. I...

Well, unfortunately, this is something that will happen. First model year, long hours worked by supplier employee's, new job training etc etc. Couple all that with pandemic problems (logistics, employee retention, lock downs causing production shifting and delays). Story time. Years ago, my...

So, I just measured my wife's 2016 explorer third row, the seats are 39.5"-ish installed width. With some custom seat brackets. They would fit beautifully. Plus if you are handy enough, you could even maintain the folding capabilities. I'm only 5'10"ish but, I fit in the third row comfortably...

Feel like taking a drive up to central michigan? 🤣🤣🤣 Wife is on the fence. But she's leaning towards getting one more and more. Feel like a hands on with one might just push her over the edge!

Me, personally, I prefer two tracking in the woods. Couple little mud holes and some rocky-rough terrain, but nothing you couldn't bang a beater car over. I don't get a thrill from rock crawling. More about sight seeing for me. Load the kids and dog up, get my better 3/4's out of the house. Stop...

Baja style bubble fenders are all but guaranteed. With the body panels able to be removed by hardware only(no panel bond or welds). I would suspect it's already being figured out by an aftermarket supplier.

I feel like somebody said a while ago, that texture goes a long way to change the perception of the color.... wait, that was me... hmmm.... also, yes, new moulds, or highly revised. New texture, typically, means acid etched. Although, i have seen tools wear of and lose texture, thats not until...

Its crazy, I live near a smaller town, and the next slightly bigger city, is about 20 miles away.... I have seen 4 of them already that are apparently local. From what I understand, people are loving them. Drive great, feel great on the inside, etc. etc. I might have to go check one out. We...

Kinda laughing at the people it here talking trash about trucks not being used to their full abilities... Then realize I dont use my bed nearly as much as I use my trailer. Damn short bed trucks....

If you look at my profile picture, those are 285/75/16's otherwise known as a metric 33 (32.8) on the truck they look perfect(almost small) off the truck they look huge. Now, the new F150 4x4 comes standard with 30-33 inch tires. 33's is nothing to have now. Hell, my wife's explorer has 30 inch...

Lol typically tend to be released by other engineers following. Very rarely do they take a vehicle out without support. Hate to be stuck on the side of the road with a prototype vehicle and making the company look bad.

Look up the bolt pattern for 97-03 f150, or the 97-98 f250 7700.... Ford has a history of being difficult lol.

Everything on that axle is more beefy.

Oh, I know why. But it still just seems so horribly low.

Still don't understand why they couldn't increase the towing to more than the explorer

Not as fast, but cheaper to fix? Lol

I dont think you realize how bad that city has gotten. I wont go there anymore, and its only a 2 hour drive for me lol. Before I get flamed, I'm just picking. Some parts of the city look abandoned, other parts are beautiful.

Behind race built trucks and buggies that can clear 40ft jumps and the driver won't spill his drink, utvs and dirt bikes that can cruise at 70 across rough terrain.... Yea. 70th, not bad, not bad at all lol

The off road space, people getting more in touch with nature is gaining ground again. Much like it did years ago. Young people everywhere are realizing the big city movement of the 80's is not nearly as awe inspiring as getting to the great outdoors. Whether its hiking, biking, or off roading...
