  1. Well...I have a 2014 STX Sport reg. cab 5.0. My battery went dead the first time about a month ago. Its happened three times now. Thank you road side service...garage side service in my case. Ford changed the battery after the second time. After the third time they kept it for three days doing tests and found nothing. Sorry. Until it first went dead, when I would shut off the truck, I could never continue to listen to the radio until I opened a door. The instrument panel would show a battery and say it was conserving the battery...or some words like that. After Ford changed the battery that has not happened. But still after it sits for four days the battery goes dead. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Akirby......first, do I need it, no. I am an older retired guy that is used to having the rear tires do the work. Where I am, 3 - 4 times a year in a little snow front wheel drive would be fine. I guess it's just a peace of mind thing. Besides the hit in mileage and initial costs, what are the down sides?
  3. So Akirby.....is this a worthy AWD system and is it the same one as used on the Fusion?
  4. I am interested in a 2015 Taurus Limited AWD. That said, and knowing nothing about AWD I have asked a couple of dealership sales people how it works. One said 4 wheels all the time, another said one front wheel drives and another one kicks in when the front one slips. Is there someone on here that knows for sure and can set my mind to rest? Why don't they know? Thanks in advance.
  5. WOW!!!!! My favorite color too. Are you near a Borla outlet or something??
  6. The explaination is simple and can be said in one word...."FORD"! You are not the only one that would PONY up for this option....get it...pony!!!!!!!!!!
  7. The order guide is now out..I have seen it but don't know how to add it here.
  8. Edsel...How about a 5.0 SHO....now that really would be "BOSS"! A real V8 and all wheel drive...SWEET!
  9. I hope the 2012 Order Guide shows the options for a Yellow Blaze California Special as well as HOME LINK!!
  10. SDCALSPCL....How often will you change your oil, using Mobil 1? Thanks
  11. Just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny that the Yellow Blaze paint is the same color as seen on the Mustang in the Continental Tire Series Mustang and in the 2011 Mustang brochure with the number 15 on the side? Anyone? Thanks in advance. Bob
  12. Well that certainly was clear as mud. Good luck trying to get one of these. Can we all say at the same time DEALER MARK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. If it were me, I would have them painted on. I don't like the tape. You always have issues with waxing the car and if you ever take them off...the paint is now a different color. If you have to have stripes...paint is the only way, for me. I don't know why the $48,000 GT500 has tape stripes!
  14. Well...16 days and not one answer. Thanks to all for your time.
  15. I was about to pull the trigger on a new Ranger Sport 4X4 when I ran across the article on Ford.com about the upcoming Sport Trac Adrenalin. I did look at the Sport Track earlier but did not like the front end or the fact that it had roof rails. Both problems are solved with the Adrenalin. I know its not a real pick up truck but it would meet my needs. I was just wondering what everybodys thoughts were about this vehicle? I have been reading about the transmission problems. Hopefully they will be resolved. Thanks
  16. Well.....I for one will not be buying the next F150. I don't care what kind of engine it has, gas or diesel, 200 horsepower or 5000. It is to friggin big! When will they listen. In 2009 if the all new and much waited for Ranger is here, it will be mine. If not I will most likely jump ship and get a Frontier. Yes I said Frontier. In my opinion its the next best choice. But I would rather have the Ranger....can you hear me FORD????????????????? I am not alone here.
  17. Thanks for all the help. I figured it out.
  18. The truck only needs a V8 and the 300 horse 4.6 will do nicely!!!!!!!!!! Ford could not make enough of them.
  19. I have a question. The manual transmission on my 1986 V6 Ranger is failing. I have access to a 1987 Bronco ll manual transmission. Are comparable? Will the Bronco tranny work in the Ranger? Thanks provider
