I almost got stuck in a mud pit using "Mud and Ruts" of all things as that mode does not like wheel spin. Switched to rock and put my foot down and it pulled right out
@MJE can attest to this XD
I just had my EFB battery swapped with a Interstate AGM at my local mechanic (ford couldnt get me in soon enough) and the s/s issue was resolved for me as well (22 BL)
Well I just got it back from my Mechanic and the stop/ start works flawlessly now. Will keep an eye on it but just glad to be rid of the old battery. Did also perform the BMS reset as well
Hey all,
Just thought I would get some opinions on whats going on. For the last 2-3 days my auto stop/ start has not engaged stating "battery needs to charge" which is odd as I drive 50km a day to and from work and it is in a heated garage overnight. I just checked and I do not have an AGM (its...
Honestly I thought they would be fine when I had them on my 22 but they struggled really bad in a thick slushy dump. It was actually abysmal IMO. After that experience they are nothing more than a mild 3 season tire at best but that is just my opinion for what it is worth.
Most dealerships wont even cover a rental at all so it sounds like aside from the bad luck regarding the engine uncharacteristically failing things are getting taken care of?
Every brand and every vehicle will have this happen to them. It truly sucks for the individual that is unlucky enough...
Yea did use the front skid plate a few times (did put a dent in it lol!) and I am pretty sure I dinged the exhaust where it routes under the rear diff. Did also manage to put a hole in the front bumper from where the frame mounts the tow hooks.
We sure put her to the limit lol. Honestly trail control was a huge help with controlled downhills and up-hills above 10% on the dash inclinometer. As I said to MJE its almost a cheat code
Took my good friend @MJE out with me trail riding today to show him how well the sport BL can do and it was a total blast. Almost got stuck twice trying to AVOID the hard lines but putting it in rock mode got us out both times. Trail control is essentially a cheat code for hills and the factory...
If I went on trails more than 2-3 times a year (if that) I might have waited to get a full size but It wouldn't have been any better as a daily than my f150 was
Both the 1.5 and 2.0 use DI (direct injection) which is notorious for fuel dilution of the oil (DI in general not on the BS specifically) that will cause a level rise over time. That or like the previous post make sure its stinking hot so that any condensation etc is burned off
