I read that if I hook up a batterycharger/not trickle charger....that it would allow
me to unlock the park position and place in nuetral! Any comments....black negative...red positive terminals!
I do understand they're different sizes. Some brands aren't cut out to sell a vehicle to compete with Tahoe/Suburban or Expedition. Jeep has a seven seat GC and more customers who shop Jeep may be more happy with that. Jeep is choking on product that is too expensive, and I think they really need to reevaluate the need to produce the Wagoneer as it is. Hyundai also could develop a utility to compete with Tahoe but their customer base also won't bite and will be happy being served by the 7 seat Palisade.
If you read the Roush supercharger kit warranty it actually states that their powertrain warranty would be voided if you did install aftermarket oil pump gears. I take that more as Roush not wanting to be held responsible for someone else's parts.
What did Ford do on the last GT500? Did the 5.2L Predator use the same oil pump gears and housing as a standard Coyote in a Mustang GT or were they upgraded?
As far as the '21-24 5.0L F-150 variant, what has been the history on supercharged trucks? Have there been any oil pump or belt failures? I'm still on the fence as far as supercharging my '23 Tremor but so far I don't see the oil pump design as any reason not to do that. All I can say is that I would be a lot less hesitant if the truck were not my daily driver...
Well, one thing to note with Ranger, is that stock was at literally 0 before April, so that's why I was saying with production finally getting going on it, it'll be interesting to see where the numbers settle between Ranger and Maverick.
The 650/750 sales are also fleet dependent, so sometimes there can be big orders in Q1 one year, vs Q3 a different year.
Healthy gains in many segments. What jumps out to me is how well the Maverick is doing, and it appears it's taking sales from the Ranger. I know Ford struggles building Rangers as the plant is shared with the Bronco, so it looks like the Maverick's popularity may be allowing Ford to build more Broncos.
Another precipitous drop in heavy truck (F-650 and 750) sales. I would hate to see Ford leave that market, but I don'r know how they are justifying staying in it at those levels. Particularly with a unique platform.
If a person goes by what happened to the 2019-2023 Ranger things will only be deleted as time goes on. Ford loves decontenting as a model ages. Just sayin’ lol
Ford of Europe , that killed the Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Edge and Galaxie pretending the customers of those cars buy this new electric crossover, with a price that start at 51000€. With that money, I can buy a well equipped Mercedes-Benz CLA 4 door coupe or a GLA compact crossover.
Ford of Europe is dead.
I'm curious how complicated it'd be to retrofit it - sadly, I'd imagine it won't be the easiest or cheapest process.
I'm also guessing they'll swap to the digital cluster across the board too....there are already some pricey conversion kits out there, but they use the Raptor's screen, which also means Raptor graphics.
