guess its time to buy the 1995 ford then?
They'll eventually outlaw cars without the tech. That's how it always works
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.
That's exactly what radar guns do
Cops don't follow you with a radar gun 24/7 like the data the car manufacturers are collecting.
