Interesting...your's is the first '22 BL I've heard of with the engine cover. Mine was built a month or so before yours and I don't have the cover...

Normally it's not a problem for me either, but the factory filter on these is installed TIGHT!

My '22 BL built 12/4/21 has the hood insulation, does yours not?

Anyone running an aftermarket filter should at the very least monitor their intake tube for dusting. If there's ever a warranty claim for an engine or turbocharger problem, that will likely lead to a denial.

Anyone ever watch the show Person of Interest? ;) I use Fordpass a lot for starting the vehicle in the winter. Another feature I like is logging my maintenance with the ability to upload receipts.

Yes, that is the correct size. I ordered it and tested for fit on the Motorcraft filter that came off my 2.0L.

September orders were 2022 model year.

According to their explanation, at higher elevation: I'm not really sure why that would be limited to carb'd engines though.

I believe he's looking for heavy-lug mud-terrain type tires. If 16" wheels can in fact be used then BFG has their MT KM3 tire available in a 235-70/16. For 17" one would need to step up to a 245-70/17 to get Goodyear Wrangler MT/R or Duratrac, or Cooper ST-Maxx. There may be others but this...

Lots of vehicles come with 17" tires. The problem is not the rim diameter but the lack of heavy lugged tire selection in the particular size needed on the BS. Even if it was possible to step down to a 16", selection is still limited in the equivalent diameter sizes, i.e. 235 70-16. I think...

I think it's partly a symptom of newer paint products, or possibly even paint manufacturer problems, which makes paint seem fragile on newer cars. I first started having issues with my '06 Dodge Cummins. Our '12 Focus wasn't too bad but still had some minor issues around the hatch and had a ton...

This was a welcome surprise for me too!

Years ago our local electric utility experimented with CNG for their fleet vehicles. It didn't last long but I'm not sure why. They had their own filling station on-site, but I always heard that the biggest challenge on a large-scale for the general public would be dealing with fueling stations.

So far my BL is getting 23-26 but we haven't taken a strictly-highway trip yet. Our commute is around 50 miles roundtrip per day that is mostly rural 2-lane, 55-70 MPH with some city stop-and-go traffic. We do have 6 miles of mountain pass that skews the numbers. The lower MPG tanks were due...

Typically 85 is offered in higher-elevation regions. It is (or was) common here, but to be honest I'm not sure if that is still the case. I automatically grab the 91 handle to avoid ethanol, so I haven't noticed if 85 is still available. I think most are 87, 89 and 91 now. Here's what the...

Mazda builds some solid vehicles. We looked real hard at the CX-5 but the BS won me over in the test drive and looks department. If the BS was not introduced I'm sure that is what we'd be driving now.

I did read...that's why you are quoted. I'm simply trying to figure out what all these basic options are that are sought after. Those were the only things you mentioned in this thread that I could find.

Yeah I'm aware of that. I think the Bronco was the first vehicle I'd actually heard of.

Well I guess that explains why no new models are coming with it.

Interesting, I've never seen one. Apparently Ford has not yet determined this to be a popular option on the BS but maybe in the future. All I really want is a Big Bend w/2.0L but ended up paying for a bunch of BL stuff not needed. Call me a Luddite I suppose.:shock:
