On sound: I put a wool matt under my "laser measured" fit after market Matt's, and a wool covering on the cargo spaces. That helped a good bit. I might try that matt over the spare, too. As for B&O, if I see a highly recommended speaker replacement, I would probably try that next.

Random thoughts... I feel fortunate that there are about 10 Ford dealerships within driving distance from my house. If I were in your place, I would probably visit each one and record all the interactions. I would definitely "one star YELP" the first dealership. I would also get on Nextdoor and...

OK, there is some problem with the tranny, they say. It will probably be best to fix it and drive like a retired person. I'm gonna look at this a different way. The cost vs value. What I see... OP is retired and does not need to drive so much any longer. The OP is retired and credit rating...

Since our vehicles are on the internet, this is what I thought would happen. Maybe it's too much data for some vehicles. Idk.

To look at this positively, I see a good comparable quote. Take that to your local dealers and ask them to match it, or make it better. This is a 2025. They will soon need to get these off the lot. ie, the price is even more negotiable as time progresses. How much do you want a 2026, vs 2025...

Hello, I am now sitting at the dealer's having my recall service done. This is the software update to fix screen issues. I got a letter in the mail last week. Issue, "your vehicle may display a blank instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) upon start up." Etc. I asked the Service guy if this has...

I looked, but what I really want is a rack like this with a part that slides off the back for loading. Does anyone have this solution? I might have to build it.

I was interested in desert sand. I was trying to see it. There was one about an hour from my house, but the pricing wasn't better. So, too much of a pain to even go see it. I think they didn't make many of them, because they weren't around.

I have no real good data, but I keep hearing that car sales are declining. If people keep clutching their money due to the current inflationary conditions in the US, I don't find it too hard to imagine a good drop in car prices in 2026. Yes, I agree that new car prices have gotten out of...

All I saw was another white rental car. I had to read the words even to spot a difference. Not that interesting to me. I think the only import add-on would be a bigger engine and better towing/pulling. IMHO.

Honestly, I had mine out, and broken, before I even thought about keeping it. LOL

For the record, I think the Ford Pass app reports any recalls for your specific vehicle. I keep checking the app when these recalls get posted, noting yet.

Your question is really two parts. 1) Can you learn this car? I say "yes." I was offered a call to an instructor to help me understand all the features of the car. Contact Ford for the instructions (maybe ask your dealer). Also, there is a feature where you can talk to the car. I say "Hey...

Have you tried talking to the car? I know that sounds funny, but there is a "hey ford" feature that is probably already on in your car. You say, "hey ford." The car replies "what can I do for you?" You say, "lower the temperature." It may do it. If not, write to Ford and tell them to program...

My opinion.... I have a 2025 OB. Very Happy, well, except for the things I've needed to add already. - a real spare. I know it is irrational to want one. I have AAA. I am usually near civilization; the only place I've "off-roaded" is my dad's "ranch." Phones work there. - a 2" hitch...
