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

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

        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).

        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 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.

          License plates don’t report your average driving speed and number of hard braking stops etc… to your insurance company.
