Welcome! I have an identical 2012 Colorado red. Please document everything, looking forward to the conversion.

I now get it. The bank sees a commercial van in private use a burden if you fail to make payments. A used commercial van has less resale value. For a business it's not as much of an issue as the vehicle serves a purpose in your business income.

Plenty of threads on the issue. This was the second thread before your post: Have fun digging through the forum and make lots of pics and a detailed report of the project, thanks.

Time to restore the original third brake light:

It does have a reserve tap tho?

Heh. I was driving in Germany on the Autobahn this spring (Toyota, not Ford). The full tank range was 500 miles, the range anxiety hit at 250 miles already. At 150 miles I started to feel a bit panicky. Could not imagine doing that in an EV.

Our government bought 507 of those i-MiEVs for social workers and other govt institutions. EV is more suitable in warm climate, over here they cover 75 miles in the summer and 35 miles in the winter per charge.

It's actually a DIY level job with some fabrication, motor mounts + something minor.

Tested, nope.

Not really. The ESP error is probably related to the wheel bearing replacement.

It's about the amount of daylight and the brightness of it. We have always had DRL mandatory but we're also at the same latitude as Anchorage, Alaska so plenty of dark time from August to April. The sun barely sets in June tho. Just a couple of hours behind the horizon.

No such menu in mine.

Flash the high beams for a fraction of a second and the parking lights go out.

Frontier/Navara is diesel only over here and it's definitely adequate. I've hauled compact diggers/frontal loaders around behind it (wide dual axle trailer) and had no issues. The suspension is a bit too "truckish" for a daily driver but the steering and transmission are accurate. Shift points are okay even fully loaded.

I've driven solid panel vans for 10 years now. You'll get used to it, guaranteed.

Oh come on. Seatbelts and helmets actually save lives. What's a dead person good for?

I don't get it. The bank should be happier issuing a loan for a commercial vehicle as this has more potential of earning money and securing payments.

Very likely. My gasoline engine does. It can be checked in Ford Etis, look for "Active Grilleshutter".

How does the cover detach?

It should not get warm idling. Modern diesels are so effective that they do not generate any extra heat unloaded. That's why all diesels in colder territories are equipped with aux heaters (Webasto or Eberspächer). My old 1.8 TDDi did not warm up at all in winter when the aux heater was broken.

Which parts? I've only read through some fun parts like maintenance and powered stuff.

Sounds dangerous.
