IT'S CALLED INFLATION. Good gravy, there is something like $6 trillion extra dollars floating around since the beginning of covid. I swear, do they not teach basic economics anymore? At some point we'll be like Zimbabwe and a newspaper will cost a $100,000. Only a few true hedges. The easy...

Just go my Order scheduled email on the BS OBX. Ordered it on Feb 3, Schedule date of April 24th. Ford is way behind it would seem. But, as long as I have it before mid June, I'll be happy.

I think Costco is the same. They refused a tire size change on my land rover once. I just went to discount tire. problem solved.

?

Also depends on where in "northern Idaho" OP lives. We have a place in way northern idaho, the elevation at our house is 2500' which is mostly flatlands at the base of the Selkirks. Even Priest River is at 2139, so assuming that might be causing an issue. Especially with a turbo.

yeah, that's a simple call to the AG of your state.

Hmm, I don't think listing the vehicle at MSRP (the actual dollar value) on your website and then adding ADM when someone arrives is legal. I think you should google it maybe. It is certainly not legal in many, if not all states in the US.

I don't think anyone ever says that.

I don't think this is available for order. Unless someone has been successful at it. If so, please let me know as I will add it to my order. As of right now, my dealer says not available.

It would not be as popular being called an Escape Wilderness. And, the Escape name is not synonymous with offroading and adventure, which is what Ford wants people to think about with this junior ute. So, from a marketing and sales pespective, it is a very bad idea to call it anything associated...

Yep, for sure. Can't believe I spaced that. You are definitely correct. Good discussion.

LOL. Yes, I know a turbo runs off the exhaust. Yes, I know it takes more power from the engine to spool the turbo, and yes, I know there is a net gain from a turbo. I have a 6.7 PSD. Yes, that is passive. " FUNCTION OF LOAD, NOT ENGINE SPEED The energy that turns a turbocharger’s turbine...

Hmmm. Not to be argumentative, but I believe that is the very definition of a passive device. Meaning is doesn't work without the exhaust gas coming out of the engine (er go passive). Probably a "you say potatoes..." argument.

perfect. thanks

I'm probably under educated here, but isn't the turbo pushing air and having air pushed to it. My understanding is that a turbo is a passive device so it can't "pull" air, unless it is a procharger hooked up to the accessory drive? Really just asking as the above is my understanding. Looking...

My advice to OP is to do nothing until the dealer or Ford does something. Right now OP is in a rental at no cost. As long as OP is in a rental at no cost, I would do nothing. If dealer pulls the rental I would file for lemon law after you meet your 30 day. here is my logic. As long as the...

Man, it is total bullshit that BS OBX owners get those dumb ass electric vehicle rims and BS BB gets the ones you have. Your BS looks great. As soon as my BS OBX comes in, i'll be looking for a new set of wheels and tires. Will likely go with the ones you chose. Looks great.

Then it's not a truck IMO. Solid front axle, now that's a truck!

Okay, did this looking for a fabled fly fishing hole up at our lake place in Idaho (pic 1) Fortunately, nothing broke through the paint layer but is looked like hell. Used the stuff listed above in post 3 and this is how it came out. (pic 2 and 3). I think most people are afraid to start...

have the same stuff on my F350. Just used my long throw harbor freight polisher https://www.harborfreight.com/75-amp-6-in-long-throw-random-orbit-da-polisher-56367.html with a fine pad and Griots rubbing compound https://www.griotsgarage.com/complete-compound-16-ounces/ They I hit it with...
