Can anyone confirm that 2025 (Badlands) does not have the hardware inside such that you could install the keypad integrated into the pillar, and the only option is the double sided tape battery one (that's ugly).
I have the full size spare with badlands 2025, but actually would like a smaller one so I could use extra space beneath the floor for storage. So, if anyone has any suggestions on the original question (donut that doesn't cost $500), I would appreciate it.

To be clear, is also very annoying when walking or biking at an intersection and having to breath in the exhaust of all the vehicles without them even moving. People in vehicles aren't the only users of public ways

I am color blind but normally can differentiate green, red, yellow, orange, etc by saturation. However. For the life of me, I absolutely cannot see some of the "lights" indicating on/off on the SYNC4 climate "buttons". Some I can but others, there's no way. They "work" because passengers can see...
It was an AWD. It definitely seemed to be a transmission issue to me. I test drove a 1.5L Bronco Sport and could have lived with the lower power vs 2.0L Bronco Sport.
