An avid endurance athlete, Kenny has competed in triathlons (he’s an Ironman) and various other fitness activities. Still, his passions lie with his faith, family, friends, and his love for well-designed power tools. With a background in science, you’ll often find Kenny chatting up engineers at media events to get caught up on the latest tool technology.

Chevy’s cross-town rival, Ford, is arriving late to the party, but it seems to have a strong rival with the 2019 Ranger pickup. New for the North American Market, it will launch with a standalone 2.3L EcoBoost engine with 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. So, there will be no diesel offering (at least not initially), but that engine – shared with the Ford Mustang – has more horsepower than the Colorado Duramax, and 35 pound-feet more torque than a Colorado V6, while also being able to tow a class-leading 7,500 pounds.

Electric parking brake is a substitute of traditional handbrake. Electric parking brake eliminates the need for a parking brake lever or pedal and improves vehicle styling, space management and crashworthiness. It’s a lot easier for automakers to design their interiors and to add new features and options.

Usually, I time circular saw trials with my homemade timing rig made of a straightedge with start and stop microswitches embedded along one side and wired to a hacked stopwatch. Unfortunately, in this test, I had enough saws that would not guide true against a straightedge so the rig couldn’t be utilized. A few saws pulled away from the guide and missed the second switch. Others ran in toward the guide and ground to a halt.

The Database Enhancement Gateway provided the “Who Pays?” study examples of both CCC and Audatex confirming pinchweld clamp repair was not included.

But just remember that the RRP (which these prices are) for Dura Ace, without power, rim brakes is £3025, you’d be a fool to pay that much as it RRP not a “actual price that you will pay in the shops” (which is > 40% off in real life)

No, it won’t. Ford went out of their way to make sure the Ranger was as late and uncompetitive as possible. Every Ranger offered outside of the US has a manual transmission option, yet here in Ford’s home country, they offer nothing in a manual transmission. They’re offering only one engine and it’s the 2.3 ecoboost famous for blown headgaskets and poor engine performance when running on 87 octane fuel in the summertime. They won’t even offer a Duratec V6 as an upgrade. No diesel engine either despite having a 3.0L diesel they could use. The only way the Ranger sells big is if Ford pushes the truck hard in the fleet market. The sales won’t come from the saturated midsize retail market.

Maybe learn to not use so much throttle in rain chief. A rwd truck is no more dangerous than a camry in the rain.

You missed the point… which decent person going to ride these “bus”. Sorry, some – not all are shameful and dangerous drivers. Check who the drivers are…. and who they going to be.

Thank you, Andreas. And I normally comment and I say, to continue to be a healthy balance sheet of Haldex, the net debt consists of working capital financing and pension liabilities. So a very healthy balance sheet, in my view.

Trailer brake controller? I’m quite sure that about 3% of anyone buying these trucks will tow a trailer that needs brakes.
