Center cap. And the tire shop should replace it!

Both! In the past I have installed topo maps on the Garmin in addition to the street maps. It’s also convenient if you are frequently getting in/out to not always need to plug the phone back in for maps. Yes, I have the wireless CarPlay adapter and I find it not very good compared to using the...

Added the Tackform mount for a secondary GPS. I don’t like the built in Ford maps and I don’t want to be dependent on the phone for mapping. Very easy install! Might try some different arms and orientations after using it beyond the driveway.

IMHO it’s a great feature! But then I also drive an EV with “one pedal” operation so I’m used to not needing to keep my foot on the brake when stopped. I’ve never accidentally disabled the brake hold by pressing the button on the center console. And yes, it will release the brake when you press...

The light on the button stays on all the time once you engage it. Doesn’t mean it’s applying the brakes. The indicator in the dash display tells you when it’s actively holding the vehicle.

You must eat a lot of pancakes. 😆

Thank you all for the humble brags.

I’m glad I’m not a teenager any more :D When your friends give you a hard time about the BS, ignore them. If you don’t react, they will grow bored and move on to talking about your bad music choices instead ;)

Got it. Seems like you're well within the specs of the towing package. I'd start with regular maintenance- make sure your brake fluid has been flushed recently and that your pads and rotors are in good shape. Then just take it easy and see how it goes. I haven't done any searches, but I don't...

How much are you towing and how long are the switchbacks? I don’t tow, but I’ve never had any brake fade or other issues when going down some super steep passes in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It doesn’t seem that there are any meaningful brake differences between the various trim levels...

You folks drive a lot! A little turbo motor with big boost is not a recipe for long term reliability.

It’s not the stop/start. If you don’t drive for a while, the vehicle shuts down the remote interaction with the app to conserve battery. Everything will be available as normal when you go for a drive. Edit: my response is based on the thread title. In some conditions the stop/start won’t work...

For sure! I'm suggesting it as a starting point to ensure one does not accept a extremely low offer from the dealer. Important to remember that selling your car and buying a new one are in fact two transactions, so it's best to be very sure about what money is going where.

Tracking mpg is useful, as it can help you spot potential issues. However, I find it's easier to use something like fuelly vs a spreadsheet. You can enter notes and other info, plus see what mpg others have. And it's free :cool:
