Flash-LBDead battery.
The Bronco Sport with the 1.5 L turbo is as fast in the quarter mile as the 1965 Mustang 289 4 Speed and that's fast enough for me.

I hope they do a Raptor version, I'd consider it. For me acceleration is one of the only things that is making me happy at the moment.

gunnuttyMy 1990 F250 wouldn't start a while back. Shut it off and went to start it nothing. Couldn't jump it either. Checked the battery date and it was 8 years old. Got a good one I guess.

You're in luck. They do make a raptor version.

I would 100% consider that except the price tag. Looks like I need to find a better job or get a promotion. The 3.0 is what the put in the MKZ and is a tiny upgrade to my 2.7. That would be a fun ride.
$75k with luxury package and forged wheels.

Battery in my wife's Boxster went bad and I replaced it.. This was probably 5 or 6 years ago... 250 dollars and the damn thing was so heavy I had to stand in the front trunk to get it down in the compartment.
Just recently we went on vacation for two weeks and when we came home her new Ford Fusion Hyprid the doors would not even open... dead battery... in the truck which opens electronically... you are supposed to jump it off from the front though... booster battery would do nothing but 2 hour charge got it going again.... seems there are two batteries in the car... one is the big lithium one that runs the electric motor and there is a standard 12 volt that runs the electronics and starts the gas engine....

sigcrazy7A NoCo 2,5, or 10 would go a long way towards preventing the constant replacing of batteries in your vehicles. Even a NoCo 1 will keep up a battery, but it takes awhile longer.
