It’s rated for severe snow. If it’s as good as my Falkens, you’ll be fine. Personally, I don’t like slippery mode. It really takes away the throttle response. We had 10 inches of snow last week. I prefer sand mode in the deep snow. It locks the rear and turns off traction control.
What seems like an absolute need now was not even an option many years ago. Reminds me of when I would take my 2006 Escape in for service and the service writer would warn me that you ”can’t” drive a vehicle in Wisconsin winters without ABS. The aluminum tone rings were pressed on a steel hub...
It seems to vary more with the 1.5. I suppose it greatly depends on your driving conditions and styles. People have reported milage in the mid 20’s to the mid 30’s. The 2.0 seems to run low 20’s to high 20’s.
You’ll love the 2 door. The gas milage is not significantly different, as @jofer says, the turning radius is outstanding, actually seems better than the Sport but I don’t know the exact specifications. I like them both for different reasons. But, I prefer driving the 2 door when I can because...
These are not from today and no I didn’t cook them. I’m not a good cook, but I am a good eater! Two of my favoraite meals at couple of places we visit every year.
Blackened pan fried walleye with eggs over easy, hash browns, and whole wheat toast for breakfast. Wolf Pack Cafe in St. Germain...
From the title I assumed we were going to be talking about tuning or carburetor jet sizes and timing settings. Guess not.
Obviously i’m not rich, I use my CC almost exclusively now days so at any point in time, I’m in debt even if it’s paid off every month. Oh well. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Is the upper banner that shows the temperature setting always on wit Android auto or is that a Sync 4 addition? It’s the one big issue for me using Apple CarPlay and not having the temperature setting displayed on the knobs. I know……..real world problems. I’ve been contemplating just buying a...
I would leave Kerrville at 1:00 am and it would be non-stop deer sightings until I got out of the hill country. After several trips, my deer PTSD from driving in Wisconsin subsided although you’d still get a young one run once in a while. October - November…… all bets were off.
I don’t think many people realize how many deer are I Texas. Especially in the hill country. My grandfather had a ranch outside San Antonio and my parents retired in Kerrville in the 80’s. I’ve been going down there for years. After my father passed, I was going down every 6-8 weeks for...
My absolute best is 30 and my lifetime average is 23.3. I don’t really pay much attention to the computer but I think you are correct that it is normally higher than actual.
Nice write up. Great picture of the LaSalle mountains. Moab is one of my favorite places to go but it is getting kind of pricey to stay there even during the off season. There are plenty of trails that are just fine for the Sport. There are also plenty that are not so choose wisely. I’d...
Both Richland and Sauk counties are bad. Of course Dane isn’t much better. I got my last one on K just west of P Many years ago. My stepson just got one a month ago on P just south of 12. Maybe the herd will get thinned even more in the next few weeks!
This little guy was out for an...
Not sure. this has been the case with both the 2 door and the Sport. I’m getting mid 20’s with the Sport off road. Now, most of it is either crawling or reasonably slow. No Baja mode. If I’m on the highway with no bikes on the back I can get mid to high 20’s. With the bikes, it’s about...
I’m guessing yours will be fine. Even my father’s 1999 was better than mine. They put heavily bolstered seats in the Lightning which when tilted back at the degree I liked, the headrests hit the rear window so I ended up sitting more upright than I liked.
