I can’t. I just can’t.

      I’d recommend a 1995 Toyota, Nissan or Mitsubishi rather than a Ford 😅

        I don’t see any 95 Toyota’s Honda’s Mitsubishi or Nissan but I do see a lot of 95 Fords. I’ll go with what I can find

          You don’t see any 95 Toyota or Hondas?

          I’m actually surprised to hear you say you see 95 fords a lot. Must be the area I guess. Where I’m at it’s the exact opposite.

        1998 ford ignition lasted 186000 miles before I changed the spark plugs. The ceramic was cracked and the anodes were all worn, with gaps exceeding 1/4". My mileage was still factory before and after. I would expect that from the brands you listed too.

        Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi never made a 7.3 (although some of those Mitsubishi diesels are nice).

      You can easily go up to 2010 and later without any antennas besides the radio. But also yes, the answer is dumb Ford Ranger for other reasons.

      I really want a maverick (ute), but I will not do it without confirmation that it will function fine with the cell antenna unplugged.

        I mean, you’ve still got a license plate. Cops have been tracking those for decades.

      They’ll eventually outlaw cars without the tech. That’s how it always works
