That’s the problem with companies saving money by doing evolution design,
they keep a lot of overall shape and do styling fiddles and tech under the skin.
Or, you could be like Chevrolet, change the entire platform yet Camaro looked the same,
now that was a waste.
Moon roof is becoming an option on Ranger in other markets like Australia
so it’s more a flow on of already developed option and suppliers.
You’ll probably find that Ranger stays but only in the trims and pricing
that Ford wants to produce, lower price customers are already being
directed to Maverick.
TPMS sensors are powered by a non-replaceable battery. Either the battery or the pressure sensor itself failed, and there are no replaceable parts, the entire unit must be replaced. The best time to replace one or more is when getting new tires. I was quoted $120 to replace one on my 2009 Mariner when I bought new tires for it a few years ago, but declined as there were 3 more on deck. $480 for all four TPMS' seemed like a lot, so I bought a $4 gauge at Walmart to keep in the console.
I revisited this thread for other reasons, but thought I’d add this. According to Dale Hanson, who was in MACV-SOG, and whose specialty in Special Forces was intelligence, the VC lost 30,000 KIA in the Tet Offensive. Those “VC” you saw in ‘70 weren’t actually VC, they were primarily NVA masquerading as VC.
Not surprising that Ford is no. 1. Surprised that the International oils are not high on the list. Like ExxonMobil is listed as a founded date of 1999. That was the merger date for Exxon and Mobil. Of course Exxon was Esso which had its birth as Standard Oil and Mobil's roots sprang from the same place..as Socony..or Standard Oil Of NY.
