Very proud of my peugeot didn't even break a sweat today. Can haul anything I throw at it. Boot was full as above and with the 2m of wood didn't even need to push harder to get up hills. 

Did you add your own hitch to your Peugeot or did it come with one from factory?

Welcome to the age of small engines and turbos, get used to it. Trust me, I'm just as disappointed as you are.

 

Though if Ford decides to put the Ranger's diesel in the Bronco then at least that will be a good option. Not like I have the money to buy one lol, but I'll damn well make it work if I see a 7-speed 

Gotta wait a few years for the bugs to be worked out on new diesels anyway

Well it'll be available on the 2019 Ranger, and the Bronco is a 2020 Model, so by 2021 it'll be fine (and the 7-speed was talked about on a gasser not a diesel, I already spend enough in diesel on my current truck lol).

From factory. I really hate the 6 pin connector thats like a circle, when my trailer is the flat type. Can't signal properly.

Those are annoying. Hate having to use an adapter. They should put both types on every car... most people just pull trailers with the flat little 4 pin anyway...

If anything it makes more sense to just put a 7 pin on every car and include a $10 adapter with purchase lmao. That said, yeah most trailers are 4-pin plugs anyways so it doesn't matter.

Every trailer here uses the flat type. Round is for euro i think.

Yeah I got mine free, but for some reason it makes my right turn signal flicker way too fast. I'm also not sure whether the trailer signals are working. Its all good though no cops care about that around here. Maybe a new adapter would help, but maybe not.

My Mazda is gonna be paid off soon. Debating on picking up a truck after that, but not sure what. Still keen on 11th and 12th gen f150s. We have a sweet 07 f150 on the lot, albeit 5.4 3 valve. Has a gibson exhaust on it. Sounds great.

You know that means a blinker light is out, right? It's supposed to do that lol.

Ah, a 5.4... Thankfully I have no personal experience with one. Owned a 10th gen F150 (2002) with a 4.6, that thing was bulletproof. Not a single problem, owned it from ~75k and gave it to my sister at ~135k. They took it to a bunch of dunes and never washed it so it's a pile of rust now. But yeah 5.4s sound good with not-poop exhaust. At least it's a 3-valve and next time you change spark plugs you can suffer knowing at least you make +40hp and 15lb-ft over a 2-valve. Or you did in 2007

Trailer works fine on the land cruiser but not the 'geot. Maybe I'll have a look but its always been like this and the trailer (should have) been WoF'd since I got the 407. Both of them have been recently WoF'd so IDK.

Sorry to double post but I have a few Rockford Fosgate goodies coming and I am so excited! Will be pushed from my head unit, but it puts out 50Wx4 RMS anyway. Eventually when I get the money i'll add a 4ch amp and mono amp + subwoofers. Nice American audio products like RF, JL, DC etc are almost non-existent here, its mostly budget brands and Pioneer.

@TVwazhere How much does it cost to fill up your ST roughly? With premium fuel. Its roughly £80 for a tank for me ($103)

[Radium_Angel]

I think I know where Toyota is getting their inspiration for the front of their new cars as of late....

In my area of NY, Premium (in my case 93 octane) is around $3.15 according to my GasBuddy app. I know If I was to go closer to a major city (Something like Albany, Syracuse or Buffalo), it's more like $3.50. 

 

I usually fill up only 11 out of the 12 gallons the tank holds so I usually pay about $35, though I've paid as much as $45 when it was more expensive and I was filling all 12 gallons.

Wish it only cost me £30 to fill the thing

My fill ups are usually close to $30(Little less.. probably closer to about $28) as well from a 1/4.

usually gets me 220-260 miles depending on how throttle happy I am throughout the week. record low is like 190 and record high is about 300 lol
