    How many people do you know want either of them around? I don’t know anyone. 

     

    The dislike for Biden or Trump is fairly equal. But the support for Trump is much higher than alot of people realize. While I wasn't there, I know for certain there were UAW members at that event last night. People from our Local wanted to hear both Biden and Trump (great position if you ask me). You see they canceled Biden from coming to our Local due to the feedback. I am one who wishes to keep politics out of it. Fain is leaving the membership guessing as hard as the company. He should have kept that same energy with the Oligarchy too. But no. Same ol UAW! Let me pull that zipper down because you came and gave a lip service.

    I would love to see where these trucks are being stored, how they’re inventoried, what security protocols are in place, and the evidence that’s been collected by law-enforcement so far. It’s not like it’s a pack and gum at a convenience store. Clearly, it’s an organized effort.

     

    It appears forged paperwork has been used in a number of cases but it makes me wonder if it is also some kind of Gone In 60 Seconds scenario of some kind where these trucks are being packed into the shipping containers and sent overseas. 
     

    Nevertheless, the situation is pretty ridiculous that they can’t protect their products better.  

     

    With knowing how it all works, Remember this. "A lock keeps an honest person honest".

    Considering the price increase, less combinations and a carryover engine (at least for now) with a lighter duty transmission, it's not surprising it's a slow seller as far as pre-orders are concerned. There is nothing in the 2024 Ranger that would make me want to trade my 2022 Ranger Tremor for one. The only exception is the Raptor which will be pretty much impossible to get unless your willing and able to fork over tons of money above MSRP.

     

     

    The '22 Tremor is a great truck (we have one) and trading that in for anything but a raptor wouldn't make sense at this point. The refinements are super nice on the new one though. The Tremor is the nicest riding vehicle MAP makes IMHO. On par with the Ranger Raptor. The 2.7L is nice though over the standard 2.3L not that the 2.3L is bad at all. The new one doesn't feel like the current model at all. They don't compare.

    And this design is already in production outside NA so it’s not really a secret except for the lower bumper section.

     

    One must not be a total dumb@$$ and post pics from inside the plant without approval ( hourly or salary ) which never happens. This was made obvious to the already obvious today. Does not matter if ROW is in the wild or not. Totally a "Look at me! I'm a attention whore" moment. On another note, Original Bronco leaks did not come from MAP.

    FX4 also comes with a skid plate. 
     

    Also, he works in final, I think he would know a little more than a website who is guessing. 

      

    Beings I love the current Tremor. I can tell that the tire in the prototype pic are not the same tire that is used currently on the Tremor. Stance of that prototype suggests (based on current FX4 supercab) that is what it is. ;)

    The next gen Ranger actually adopted some subtle (toned down) Bronco styling cues. This is noticeable on the profile of the front end, shape of the fender tops/corners and hood.

    PS: the angled fender tops/corner and hood is not purely Bronco though, since the Ranger-Bronco II had them too.

    Ummmmmm. No.  No way. Zero adoption. Not even subtle.

    Thank you for your response.  But it is the bottom seat that won't latch.  There is a storage area under the seat and there is a latch and bar it is suppose to hook too but the latch doesn't engage at all.  It's in a fixed position.  I do have an appt to return it to the dealership but not until July.  I was hoping someone from the plant could tell me if it is suppose to latch.

     

    yes, lock when in down position.
