    I was wrong, the steering wheel shortage effecting Mustangs and Explorers got to some Rangers too. I don't know the ETA on getting produced units fixed or how many were effected but I have been told by a guy who works in final assembly that things are back to normal so they should be able to start getting to some of the parked trucks soon. 

    Thank you so much for the information about what is going on with the building process. It is so much easier to wait knowing what the hold up is and that there is movement towards getting things back on track. Please tell the guy you know on the final assembly line that is one very excited and grateful customer who will soon be enjoying the results of all the Ford employees’ hard work and pride.

    Shipping seems to be hit and miss these days from everything I’ve seen. My dealer in South Dakota has some vehicles show up in 2-3 weeks after production and others 2 months later. Sorry I don’t have a better answer. Shipping is something Ford really needs to work on from everything I’ve read.

    Luckily, I have an extra car right now while my kid is away. The bad thing is I have a wandering eye and have been checking out  other rides. I hope my willpower keeps me true to my Oxford White 4X2 Ranger.  There have been reports of trucks showing up unexpectedly at dealerships. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

  3. Betsy was her name. She was loving maintained by a retired mechanic who lived next door to our family. She was a four door and had a three on the tree tranny. My mom bought her for me for $200 when I was 16 because she didn’t want me walking home at 11pm after I got off work.  That car so beautifully simple. I remember standing inside the engine bay as I changed out the cork head gasket. She was very forgiving and highly dependable. When I joined the navy, Betsy was passed along to a family friend. Gone but not forgotten.

  4. My sister is replacing her 20 year old Expedition. She is sad because it has been the best vehicle she has ever owned. She is looking at getting another 4X4  Expedition. Any recommendations, thoughts, or opinions about getting a a new one verses a slightly used one is greatly appreciated. Yes, cost is a major consideration. Thanks!
