Doubt it’s related to heat, or any other external source. Yesterday’s event was different in that the driver’s window would go down as far as I had it cracked earlier and back to fully closed. It controlled the other windows normally. The prior time it was just not functioning at all. Im going...

They’re only fully down while parked in the garage. Last stop for the day they were cracked an inch or so down sun for heat relief. No rain for weeks, or sprinklers nearby. it only has happened on parking in the garage after a drive, and has “reset” itself both times after a brief sit in the...

Did it again. Let it set for an hour or so, it’s all good again. As long as I’m confident it’ll reset on its own, I’m fine with it, I guess. Still, it’s stupid and inexcusable, but short of buying a pre-2000 anything, I guess we’re all stuck with the “new normal”.

As an homage/FU to Land Rover, I'd like to get this made:

If my intention was solely pavement-only, I would've definitely gone OBX. As it was, I wanted the best factory off-road package available, as well as not regret any "shoulda added that" options later. Mine's about as maxed out as you can get, sans hole in the roof and unnecessary stickers on...

Trust me, the line workers in Hermosillo have no idea where a particular unit is being shipped to, much less really care. Besides, they're all union workers making higher than average wages, thanks to the UAW in the US.

It would work with a 2.5" lift, but may still require some pinch weld cutting/bending. From HRG's site for their 2.5" lift kit: Recommended Tire Size: 245/70/16 245/65/17 245/60/18 Max Tire Size: 245/70/17 (30.5″)...

I think in that instance is whichever phone is "seen" first on entry. That seems to be the case with ours. The fix then is to just make sure you get in the car first. I'm sure the wife will understand why you're not getting the door for her anymore. ;)

Dealer reserve can be as much as 2.5% over the bank/finance company's buy rate. One strategy--assuming you could purchase in cash in the first place--is to let them go through with the loan and financing process (to hopefully negotiate a better OTD price up front), then just pay off the loan...

Zero. Trade-in was fully paid off. As is the BS.

^^ This. The 2.0 in the Badlands has more than adequate torque and horsepower to pull yourself up the grades from the Valley to Preskitt (;)) regardless of which route you take (89, 17, Beeline). Keep in mind it’s at the cost of fuel economy, but that’s a trade off that’s well worth if if you do...

You’ll have to contact them directly. Ford doesn’t monitor this forum.

This showed up today:

I've done sea to shining sea (San Diego-VA Beach) round trip a few times. Once in a '76 Chevy LUV (with a three-speed automatic, no less). Then in an '81 Dodge base work truck with a 318 and four-speed where first was unusable unless you needed to climb a tree. Neither had AC, cruise, power...

Mine's a '25. Auto S/S successfully disabled months ago.
