Less computers, hence the old fashioned increase in fuel economy.
Yes. Yet, we sometimes, no matter the fight or resistance, we get the wife, truck, life, that is at least partially, foisted upon us. YMMV. My '01 was such... a "gift." Yet, nearly ideal. It seemed wrong to throw such a rosinanté on the trash heap. I am older than it by 3-fold; yet, I have some value, helping mechanics tonight and last night w issues that plague them a bit. A wise old dog to a wise old master. Young dogs to young masters? It's a system. It works. But old dogs are not above new tricks. 30, 40 years of R&D in gov't secret mech-elec proves it out. Pot, kettle? Tortoise, hare.

Differential rebuild, first time out, on a budget? Not for everyone. Sad. PART.or MOST of the problem is, geniuses need to know how very common most of you are, and act accordingly. You have but to dig in. Now, sheetmetal butt brazing... that is a skill, even above welding. But not so much more than a 7-Minute "Boiled" Icing. Others can do it. Why t__ h___ not you?!? But you must persuade yourself. SAT's were dumbed down, when US students, "waned." Genius is actually a very low scale. You are here seeking knowledge & clues. This alone almost guarantees your admission. It's more, in the book, under the hood, than in the know. Yet, the simpleton amongst us knows some vital clue we have not. (Or naught, take your pick.)

I'm here, learning, and I love it !

I didn't realize Brit had made this video. This is Steve Pruitt, the current owner. They are standing in front of the Draper location.

That is still better than my historical average on 400 Fords of the late 1970's

Are the Bronco Sports Dragon engined? If so, does that engine still come from India or is it made here now?
Nevermind, I found it is made in Romania now.
Even still, 200 HP from 1.5 liters is pretty dam good.

The big bronco does, either the 2.3 or 2.7.
