Chase build update. So I was able to look over a Ford Bronco Sport today. Although it's a fantastic vehicle, inside and out, it's just too small for our purposes. Between two individual's luggage, medical bags and camera gear, there is not enough room. This was apparent when I opened the back...

I've given up on worrying about gas prices. With the CVOID recovery over the next 2-3+ years, raising gas prices would destroy the economy, and truckers have promised to "shut down the economy" by going on strike and blocking highways, like they did in Paris. Having said that, it's great we are...

The **potential** steering issue has been brought up by multiple sources, including several reviewers. Need someone with long distance or professional driving experience to chime in and deny or confirm.

Trying to get hold of Ford is like trying to get in touch with the Pope. I'm sure commercial vehicles, like the Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, do not have the feature. The Frontier will be my go to vehicle if the BS auto-start cannot be defeated. So far, the 2020 Frontier does not have the...

Have not driven a Ford with the auto (idle) stop technology. Here are issues with the system. 1: Although slight, there is always the possibility the vehicle will not restart. There have been serious and fatal accidents where auto-stop technology was the cause. Either the vehicle did not...

It might be a computer screen, not a mechanical unit.

I considered that, or maybe a laser to burn it out. You think they would have made it a "non-warning " color like gray (as Ford does) or even green. I've been following the Ridgeline discussion groups and people hate the light (and overall system) with a passion. Maybe the 2021 will be...

The Ridgeline appears to be nixed on my list. It has the dreaded engine-auto-off cancer than cannot be cured. Although the "off" push button can be overridden by a third party "eliminator," the engineers at Honda decided to add a very bright, distracting yellow warning light on the dash anytime...

So we have confirmed the auto-start-stop is off in sport mode and there is no annoying icon. This is another positive BS confirmation. (Thank you Ford). I read in the manual that even when the Auto-Start is on, it's a "grey" icon on the dash board. I can live with that. As a pilot, any yellow or...

When in sport mode and the auto start is disabled, is there an annoying red or yellow light on the dash or elsewhere that provides an irritating "auto-off" notice lamp / icon? I nixed another vehicle (Honda Ridgeline) because when the auto-start was disabled (by push button or by third party...

Excellent review. As noted, the overheating seems to be a "natural" result of over-badassing and not overheating from normal use. This is good to know. I still don't mind the interior; when chasing, the interior is often covered in dust, so the less "fancy" the better as long as it's functional...

That lift and large tires make this vehicle. It takes it from "cute" to "worthy."

The bottle opener needs it's own thread.
