Like someone else alluded to, the Vega rusted while it was on the assembly line!  My boss used to give me brand new Ford pickups every two years when I was selling auto parts on the road starting in 1966. When the oil crisis hit, he put me in a Pinto!  One day I had to pull over because every once in a while a wire or something came loose. I can't remember the details. But what will stick in my head forever is that one time I put the hood up and placed the prop rod up. So I'm under the hood and a gust of wind from behind blew the hood up, the rod fell, and the hood fell on my head. And akirby no wisecracks!  So anyway, all I could think of was that if an alien spaceship had been observing this scenario, they would have thought cars eat people!!!!

Talking about oil cos., I read that Citgo -- and apparently only Citgo --  is Venezuela owned.

I pay no attention to TPS idiot lights. Just check the pressure, but don't forget spare. Just another annoyance.

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.

Im getting a tire pressure sensor failure on my 2020 Ford Explorer.  Any suggestions on resetting it. All tire pressures are normal

So, when is the media day for Ford?

Or the Mustang II   🤪

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.
