  1. ^^^ with the 2.7... absolutely. I'm going to be down sizing from my explorer and am most likely going with the Edge Sport unless they come out with a higher trim with the 2.7.
  2. Blurred is invoice w/dealer holdback. I have the same sheet on the Superduty.
  3. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a21938/vw-audi-defeat-device/ Some interesting info here about what happened.
  4. Oh boy... http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/appeals-court-opens-door-gm-ignition-switch-lawsuits-40551707?yptr=yahoo
  5. ^^^ however the profits are now tied to a foreign company and go overseas and for that, I will never buy Dodge/Chrysler/Ram product. Buy American and support America.
  6. Less then what was needed for the F150. http://www.autoblog.com/2016/07/13/ford-gt-supercar-dealer-service-center-upgrades/
  7. Ford was running a higher tune then 500/1000 last year in the 6.7. It should be close to it but will be class leading. Just wait till the 10 speed hits the 6.7.
  8. Ouch!! Guess I should be pleased getting 11.4mpg towing 13,500lb 5the wheel with my 6.7 @ 65mph ST camper tires are only rated to go up to 65mph so you are towing safe.
  9. https://www.yahoo.com/news/vw-pay-california-additional-86-160544559.html I don't remember reading this little interesting tidbit..
  10. Another accident.. Another Tesla crashes and Autopilot is blamed againhttp://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/07/05/owner-survives-tesla-crash/86729076/
  11. Thanks for joining, buh bye.
  12. Reading at gmi there were some comments (paraphrasing) that the low sales are fine because GM expected it due to increased ATPs. However from what I read, 50% of the Mustang sales with an average 1.5% increase in ATP does not sound like good news. Let's give up 4,000 Camero sales for an extra $500 in profit per sale.
  13. As the tides turn... Witness who arrived at scene said that a portable DVD Player was seen in the car still playing a Harry Potter movie after the crash. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/dvd-player-found-tesla-model-154828277.html
  14. Don't think I saw this posted before. https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/tesla-under-investigation-over-autopilot-203300345.html
  15. Ouch!! Major points have been quoted. Still does not state what the fix consists of. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/volkswagen-set-announce-15b-emissions-settlement-124441523--abc-news-topstories.html
  16. Air up the tires and fill the tank up completely full with diesel (prevents condensation) with Ford PM 22 additive. Besides that, nothing really.
  17. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/06/23/volkswagen-reportedly-to-pay-10-2-billion-in-emissions-claims-settlement.html
  18. I have been reading all the comments on here about this troublesome transmission but have never been in one until a couple weeks ago. Enterprise picked me up in a focus and every single 1-2 shift, the transmission slipped so bad the car was shaking. I couldn't believe how bad it was and I refused to take that car as a rental.
  19. Have no info on gas.. just know that they've been running around Dearborn for over a year with the 10speed and he has had several of them that he has driven for testing (all diesels). He has taken another buddy of mine for a ride in one (King Rancher). He had thought that they would be in the 2017MY but waiting till order time to announce it to put one up on GM... but that didn't happen. My guess is 2017 "All new aluminum SD" was enough excitement and then for 2018 "All new 10 speed" would create another "got to have it" environment. Very smart IMO. The other question would be.. does Ford at this moment have the capacity for the 10 speed in both F150 and SD trucks?? With the investment they announced, that could be the other reason at this moment to hold off a year. So... strategic or capacity issues?? or a little of both?
  20. I LOVE my Bronze Fire F350.. the maroon/burgundy color in the shade and the burnt orange color in the sun is amazing. And yes, Blue Jeans does look awesome on the Superduty.. I think that would have been my 2nd choice. @NYT - I can't help you with either of those questions. I got the guide from my guy out in MI, don't have it in hand.
  21. My source is telling me 2018MY. He has driven several of them and says they drive extremely well.
  22. Considering that isn't a word.. not so sure lol.. sorry, I had to..
  23. Wouldn't the 3 overdrive gears be optimized for highway speeds?
