Replying to: gobux (May 17, 2006 3:31 pm) I have the hard cover, all steel/nylon-plastic cover, operates and locks (double on front and back) just like a trunk lid on a car, very convenient to use and it has bungee tie downs if you want to leave one half open to haul larger things, landscape material, etc. The best part I think is the security, you would have a hard time getting into this tonneau cover with a crow bar! Only hassle really is it has a separate key from tail-gate...why?
#180 of 339 Love it by bmac363 Jun 07, 2006 (8:38 am)
Took Delivery of my Limited V8 last week. This Monday drove about 300 miles it averaged 17.5 mpg. It is still improving. The tires were showing 42 psi so I let them down to the recommended 32 psi and it rides better but is a bit bouncy. Anyone else observed this. Wonder if I should increase the pressure? Don't want to wear out the tires though.   One last thing I am thinking of installing a Flowmaster 70 series, after speaking to someone at Flowmaster they said it should be fairly quiet in the cab. Anyone out there have a 70 series that would like to comment? Replies to this message: kman1956 (Jun 07, 2006 4:00 pm)

Replying to: bmac363 (Jun 07, 2006 8:38 am) BMac: Don't have the Flowmaster, no help there, but would love to hear the feedback on that myself. Assuming you have the Michlins on the 18" wheels? The tires are rated at 44lbs. I am finding after experimenting with the recommended pressure (as you now have it set) and others in between, that 38lbs in COLD tires all the way around seems to get the best of all worlds...my gas mileage took a 2mpg dive when I put the pressure at the recommended 32 (after 2 tanks of mixed driving) but the 38 seems to make the ride better but still keep everything firm and you are still probably 4 lbs below max, even on hot tires. Try it. Took mine off-road on some deeply scalloped roads and severely bowed, high center dirt trails, the IRS worked flawlessly and no clearence issues at all, the low 4x4 is really quite good.

Replying to: mpgxsvcd (Jun 08, 2006 9:20 am) Hello, I was able to get my Limited at the invoice price. The invoice that the dealer gave me matched up exactly with the one from Consumer Reports. I took the 3.9 % 60 month financing which actually made the payments a few dollars less than taking the $1000 cash. Plus I will save almost $1500 in interest. Shop around, Ford needs to sell some vehicles the dealers should be willing to work with you or at least my dealer did here in Texas. Good luck!

Thanks for your pricing comment on the ST. I'm considering one. After reading in the paper that Ford's bond rating fell, I know they have to sell vehicles. Good for the consumer.
#185 of 339 Need V4 engine on the Sport Trac by vrm Jun 11, 2006 (7:06 am)
I want the BEST possible gas mileage.   Why doesnt Ford offer a V4 engine? I really dont care or need the power of a V6 or V8.   Given that a V4 engine is not an option, what kind of real world mileage does the V6 provide?   Thanks!

Replying to: vrm (Jun 11, 2006 7:06 am) I want the BEST possible gas mileage.    Why doesnt Ford offer a V4 engine? I really dont care or need the power of a V6 or V8.   First, no such thing as a V4 - an I4 yes, but no V4.   Ford doesn't offer a 4 on the Sport Trac because a 4 would be less able to haul around this vehicle and it would probably be less efficient than a 6 cylinder.
#187 of 339 Actually, Ford did make a V4 by chiefusn Jun 12, 2006 (11:43 am)
but it was in germany in 1962 for a small car called a Taunus (not Taurus). You want better fuel mileage...get a 4 cylinder Ranger with 5 spd.                                            Chief Replies to this message: robr2 (Jun 12, 2006 11:50 am)
