  1. Why on earth would you want to do such a thing?
  2. There were also rebates at the end of the year on Bronco as well. Ours had a $3500 rebate, coupled with $5000 off MSRP on our Wildtrak, we paid right in line with what you paid for your '22. Ours is a 2 door, but we paid $58k out the door for a $66k+ MSRP.
  3. I'm pretty sure KR comes standard with LED headlights, but Platinum will give you projector LEDs IIRC. Not sure on the fogs, but I believe rears are only LED on Platinum.
  4. F450 all the way. The tighter turning radius on the F450 will make a world of difference backing up in tight RV parks, as well as navigating parking lots easier since it will be a daily driver. Fuel economy will suffer a bit over an F350 when empty, but likely will be the same (or even slightly better) when towing.
  5. Man, that's a hill you're willing to die on, isn't it!
  6. Yep, it sucks. I got the plan for my '22 Super Duty just in time!
  7. Ford did away with the ability to get an X plan PIN for owning stock back in 2022.
  8. Thanks for the info! I was going to go with Weathertech, but wasn't sure about the gap in the front and if it would stop the rocks. Our driveway and gravel roads will likely be the bulk of our off roading for now. I really like your steps, but I'm looking for a board with a bit more coverage for protection too. Those 35" meats throw rocks like crazy, and the rock size in our driveway must be the perfect size because the tires are full of rocks right now. It hurts to hear them fly out and hit the rockers at 65 MPH!
  9. What flaps and steps did you put on? I've got Mabett flaps that are supposed to be here tomorrow as I just couldn't find much I liked that had the coverage and didn't cost $400 a pair! We're still undecided on steps, so looking at lots of pics and options. I want something with coverage to stop the rocks that the flaps don't stop.
  10. Thanks! Yep, that's my wife's Mach-E.
  11. Well, we pulled trigger over the weekend. I've been drooling over the Bronco since it came out, and this weekend, we were finally able to pull the trigger on one. I wanted to order one, but missed the boat for a V6 2-door (I don't want a Stroppe edition), so I've been looking pretty regularly the past couple months and had my eye on one at the dealer an hour away. Well, the rebates were good($3500...went up $1k on Thursday, the day I called about it), and the deal was decent, so we went to look. We brought it home for the night and my wife drove it home because she doesn't like driving my truck (I wasn't about to leave it at the dealership). Well, that was a mistake, because now, instead of buying me a Bronco, apparently I've bought her a Bronco that I get to drive sometimes. LOL. Now we've got two horses in the stable, and my Super Duty has been pushed to the basement garage to be relegated to trailer-towing duty. First mod will be mud flaps (ordered before we even signed the papers lol). We've got a 1/4 mile gravel driveway, and this thing throws rocks like crazy! It's already got rock chips with just over 200 miles on it. So, we just drive through the field instead of down the driveway until the mud flaps arrive.
  12. The Maverick hybrid's powertrain (or a derivative) has been in use for 20 years. The F150's drivetrain has only been around a few years. They're completely different animals.
  13. That's about as descriptive as the issue Apple had with an app we just submitted for review. "An error occurred when logging in." Could you be a little less descriptive. Or, maybe, you know, you should type the password correctly, morons!
  14. Yep, every one of them. By hand without even using a letter opener.
  15. Agreed. And I'm one that had to pay the fee. But, I also vote for a fuel tax increase any time it comes up because I know how badly we need the money for roads with increased fuel economy and other factors leading to crappy roads. Related note, my wife works for the department of transportation.
  16. Well, to be fair, all current Super Duties still use the column shifter. I'm sure this will just be an electronic column shifter, which is dumb. I like the dial on our Mach-E, but it is seriously lacking in storage, so if they moved the e-brake and hazards and reclaimed some of that space, I could be OK with it.
  17. So, it looks like the only way to get a 2 door V6 is to get the Stroppe edition. That sucks (sorry, I don't like the color scheme)! A Bronco may be in our future (3-4 years), but I want a 2 door with the V6. The Wildtrak was my preferred series. Ugh.
  18. We are getting to the point where GPF (gasoline particulate filters) are becoming a necessary too. I think the new Nautilus has one IIRC.
  19. Not to mention, modern diesels are VERY complex with EGR, particulate filters, after treatment etc. This is a much much simpler solution.
  20. But to completely remove it from everything, even on Platinum and Limited Platinum Plus? Maybe...
  21. More decontenting by Ford. Removing the tailgate-down sensors and camera are a big change. Industry-first, very helpful feature, and now it's gone. Also, the keyless entry keypad is now a dealer installed option, so I'm sure it's the ugly black plastic stick-on thing that's ugly as can be. Very frustrating for a $100k vehicle. Come on, Ford, you're better than that!
  22. Out here in the sticks, most of my Amazon packages are delivered by USPS.
