Late 80's early 90's Ford Escort GT's. I was 10ish and remember always liking the looks of them when I was younger. I wouldn't buy one, but man I still think it's a good looking car. I also like the foxbody Mustangs of this era so it makes sense.

Great video Tim. I've owned two Toyotas and have had great luck with one (09 Tacoma), not so great luck with the other (08 Prius.) What I can't wrap my head around is the head in the sand coming from the majority of comments I'm seeing out in the ether. Toyota was absolutely on a pedestal. In...

It's interesting though because this isn't the first time they've done this. After the growing pains they do tend to have a more reliable product, I can't disagree with that. I've always wondered if that's more of a product of not changing and offering a less advanced/optioned vehicle than the...

I'm pretty anti advertisement for anything, even brands I like. This is the first truck I've owned that I didn't debadge. I don't wear clothes with large advertisements or words or quotes. It's impossible to get away from the little Carhartt patch, or Columbia logo but in general I try to avoid...

That's good, I didn't necessarily mean from you, just in a general sense. I feel like Toyota has been straight up deceptive about the whole thing. They announce a fix, sales spike, then extend the recall. (discreetly change part numbers on various bearing parts) Then they announce another fix...

I really wish this would get more traction.

I love these old trucks. My son, 17, has a 2000 4x4 Ranger and my stepson, also 17, has a 2003 4x4 Frontier. Both great trucks and simple.

I think, assume, it's always been the coyote at least that's what I've heard about.

Was it a pre-oiled filter like a k&n? If so every study I've seen says that pre-oiled filters like those actually do worse at trapping fine particles than a standard paper filter.

That's a good question you could look into

It's about 7.5% Went from 32.3 to 34.8

I don't love it. My truck consumes a quart over approximately half the oil change cycle, it always has. I don't like that it consumes oil. I find it annoying that some trucks do, and some don't. I know Ford also has consumption issues, more so in the 5.0 than the ecoboost, but as far as I know...
