My OBX is a little bit low on brake fluid. All I have at home is Dot 3, and Dot 5 brake fluid. Can either one of these be used in my OBX?

I currently have a '23 OBX with the 1.5 engine. I haven't had any problems and the mileage is great. I'm thinking about trading for a newer OBX. What is the big difference between my '23 engine and the newer one. What are the pros and cons of upgrading to the new motor?

I've been a mechanic all my life and have always done the oil changes on all my cars. Now that I'm 80 years old, and have a bigger tummy, I'm having problems. I have a really nice set of Rhino ramps that I use. The problem is they only lift the wheels 7" off the ground. It's getting harder to...

I'm 80 years old and I'm getting tired of changing my summer and winter tires over twice a year. I'm looking at getting either Michelin Crossclimate2 or Goodyear Assurance Weatheready 2 tires and running them all year round. Does anyone have any experience with either of these brands. In...

My stepson just purchased a '24 Outer banks. I was going to get him a console tray for it if needed. Can anyone verify if this model has a console tray from the factory. If not does anyone know the Amazon site to purchase one?

Just a little off topic, but I need some answers. My wife's '20 Ford EcoSport has just developed an exhaust leak. I took it to a local muffler shop (Cole), and they told me one of the components is a dealer only part. I took it to my dealer and got a $1200 estimate to replace the exhaust system...

I just received the embroidered key rings I ordered on Amazon. Somehow the order got duplicated and I have 2 extra. anybody with a '23 Outer Banks wants one, send me your mailing address in conversations and I'll mail you one for nothing

On my wife's '20 Ford Ecosport we had all kinds of sync problems. After about 1 year and 2 dealers I thought we had it cured. This last time around the dealer got Sync 3.4 23188 installed and everything was working correctly. Lately my wife's phone won't stay paired to the vehicle. We have...

I installed Sync 3.4 23188 in my '23 OBX. I then bought and installed map update NA 2 22. My wife's '20 Ecosport was having Sync problems. I took it to the dealer, and they updated her sync to version 3.4 23188, the same version as my OBX. The question is can I use the same USB I bought to...

I just received a letter informing me my '23 OBX needs this recall ( 24S16 / NHTSA Recall 24V 187) applied. I have a Steeda strut tower brace, and the deleted factory engine cover installed on my vehicle. Will either of these be impacted by the application of this recall?

I've had adaptive cruise control on my last 2 vehicles and I love it for traveling. I just had a situation on my last trip that made me concerned. I was in pretty heavy interstate traffic. The car ahead of me slowed down quickly, and my adaptive cruise reacted quickly. It slowed me down with no...

I have a '23 OBX that I don't drive much. I'm retired and only work part-time one day a week. We usually drive my wife's Ecosport daily and use our OBX for vacations 3 or 4 times a year. The car only sits dormant for a week at a time. I just purchased a new Kymco motor scooter. I will be using...

Don't know if anyone knows this answer, but thought I'd ask anyway. I have a battery tender that has 2 outlets. I use it over the winter to charge my garden tractor and my motor scooter. Question is whether or not I can just use one of the ports if I'm only charging one of my toys or do I have...

I have a '23 OBX (1.5) with 7300 miles on it. I use Mobil 1 5W-20 full synthetic in it. It's time for me to change the oil again. I sent my wife to the store to get my oil, and she got Mobil 1 5W-20 High Mileage oil by mistake. Can I just use it this time without any ill effects on the motor?

I'll be facing my first full winter and snowstorms with my '23 OBX this year. I have a question for you folks that have more experience with the GOAT modes than me. The question is which mode is best for driving in snow? Normal or Slippery. When does the Slippery mode help the most?

See my thread in the marketplace for a free Yakima bike rack.

When we bought my wife's 2003 Escape brand new, Ford gave us this bike rack (imagine that). It's been in our cellar for 20 years and never been used. It's a Yakima rack for 2 bicycles. I'll give it to anyone who has a trailer hitch, and can use it. I'm in Syracuse, NY. The rack is an awkward...

I'm a 79 year old guy from Syracuse, NY with a '23 OBX. I just want to thank all the members of this forum who have helped me with any mods or problems I have had with my vehicles. This forum has been the best I've been on as far as participation. There's a lot of knowledge here and it is...

I'm still having a problem with updating the sync in my wife's '20 Ecosport. The Ford Owner site tells me there is a update for the sync3. My vehicle has version 3.4 21194. The owners site tells me version 3.4 22200 is an available update. I tried to load the new version with a USB and had no...

I own a '23 OBX. I currently have sync version 3.4.23188. I just downloaded the free map update Ford offers. The file name is Sync 32 and has 3 sections. Sync my ride, Auto install, and don't index. Is this the correct file for my map updates, and do I just install it like I did for 23188? Does...
