    TFL Mega Ike - 5 Mid-size trucks

    The nearest Ford dealer that shows any Ranger inventory is about 30 mins away. I may try to out there this upcoming weekend. They currently show one of each trim; XL, XLT, Lariat, Raptor ranging from $38k to $59k. Will be worth a trip if the trucks are still there. I am in no rush Tim. We are...

    TFL Mega Ike - 5 Mid-size trucks

    Binged watched numerous videos on 2024 mid-size pickups over the weekend, including those by Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk. There was some very interesting content and great feedback. Wife and I stopped by the GMC dealership on Sunday as it is next door to the recycling center where we needed to...

    TFL Mega Ike - 5 Mid-size trucks

    I was on the GMC build and price tool tonight, built out an AT4 to $49,995. Almost every color is extra charge, unreal. You cannot make this stuff up. Showed the wife since she will be primary driver, seems interested. Local dealer seems to have mostly Elevation trim trucks and one AT4X with...

    Tim's Wife With Great Thoughts on the KIA EV9

    States are going charge fees according to mileage driven regardless of propulsion method. It is the only way they can recoup the lost revenue.

    TFL Mega Ike - 5 Mid-size trucks

    GMC has 1.9% for 36 months but you have to take delivery by April 30th. I would rather order a truck but would not get the incentives. Nobody else is offering much, some lease deals that I am not interested in. Maybe we will see more once market cools, if it ever does.

    Fitness journey

    Tim, Hang in there Brother. I am praying for you. Things will get better. I just started PT a week ago and it seems to be helping me recover from surgery. I wish you the best and please keep us updated. Eric

    Tim's Wife With Great Thoughts on the KIA EV9

    I watched this video as well even though I am not considering an EV currently. I found Heather's analysis to be as expected; a little range anxiety and some uncertainty as to how to drive it properly. The regenerative breaking seems to take a little getting used to. And living in western...

    TFL Mega Ike - 5 Mid-size trucks

    I watched the TFL video. I am considering buying a mid-size truck. I am a Ford guy, had a 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4 that I sold during COVID and now regret it. Anyway, I really am turned off by the styling of the new Ranger. Otherwise, it seems to really compete within the class. I think the 2.7 EB...

    Aluminum F-150 rust update after 250k KM

    Watched the first 11 mins and my initial thoughts are that I recall a lot of doubt and concern when Ford went to the aluminum body. This was a huge risk and it was successful as many other automakers began to use aluminum panels to save weight. And this was five years after Ford took a huge risk...

    My 2024 Ford Ranger review posted to Consumer Guide Automotive

    I wonder how much more the TRD Pro and Trail Hunter are going to cost as compared to Ranger Raptor.

    My 2024 Ford Ranger review posted to Consumer Guide Automotive

    The new Ranger is nice but there are a few misses in my opinion: Styling - the front end lacks the in your face aggression the competitors offer. No rear HVAC - come on Ford, really? $40k-$60k truck and no vents for the rear passengers. Shifter - in Lariat and Raptor, WTF is that? What is the...

    New EPA Emissions Rules Coming to your Local Dealership...Eventually

    Basically it allows the automakers to keep selling ICE vehicles at a large profit so they essentially fund the EV and PHEV side of the business, where they lose money on each vehicle. Make $10k on a half ton pick up and use it to absorb the blow on the Mach E. They are forcing vehicles on the...

    Engine Start Stop will be the First to Delete on New Truck

    Nobody will ever be able to convince me that auto start-stop is good for an engine or saves a material amount of fuel or emissions. It is government mandated BS. End of story.

    2024 Ford Maverick

    The 2.7 is only available in XLT and Lariat trims on the Ranger. I have never driven the 2.7 but I do like that it has a CGI block. There were some issues with it in the Bronco and F-150 but hopefully they have been straightened out. The up charge on the Bronco is nearly $2,200 so I expect it...

    2024 Ford Maverick

    It is funny that you brought this up as my wife and I were discussing this last night. If our budget is $40k, would you rather buy a Maverick Lariat AWD or a Ranger XL 4x4? I built out a Ranger XL 4x4 with tow pkg, locking rear diff, carpeted floor in Hot Pepper red for $39,960. We both agreed...

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    It would be nice if Ram could fix their build and price for the 2025 model. What a mess.

    Did you get to sit in the Ranger Tim?

    I was checking the specs and it seems the Ranger legroom in front is about an inch more in the Maverick but an inch less in the rear. I can’t believe that the leg room is so similar. Ford was making such a big deal about the cab being two inches wider and the wheelbase two inches longer but the...
