  1. 1st oil change confusion on 1.5 BS

    .... that's exactly my norm too but the oil that came in it isn't 100% synthetic but instead the Motorcraft blend ... but the service manager still says 5k on miles or 1 year ... whatever comes first.
  2. 1st oil change confusion on 1.5 BS

    Ok ... yes, I have an owner's manual, and I can read and I also have the Ford Pass App that monitors my oil ... BUT ... I bought my NEW '22 BS with the 1.5 engine the first few days of January '23 so I have already owned it for 8 months + a few days. I am retired and don't drive that much and my...

    I did that but it wouldn't let me totally delete it ... had to have characters in the title line. Thanks ... just figured there was a delete button somewhere.
  4. The death of the Base Model '24 ... take 2!

    I agree! And as it seems ... my last vehicle was a Jeep with no "extras" and my vehicle before that .... same as yours XTERRA! Hope my '22 BS doesn't leave me stranded in the wilderness. Truthfully, my little base unit has been flawless since January when I purchased it. Hope it makes it to 200k ?.

  7. The death of the Base Model

    actually the pics weren't in the first 2. I keep trying to delete the first 2 posts but all I see is the edit button. So ... how does one easily delete a damn post? Thanks!
  8. The death of the Base Model '24 ... take 2!

    Like I said ... I'm 65. It's really a generational thing. We don't give crap about the badge. There are MANY people who remove the badges regardless of trim levels. Ford just messed up from the beginning and are just finally fixing it ... but make no mistake about it ... the new Big Bend in 2024...
  9. The death of the Base Model '24 ... take 2!

    But it is essentially taking the place of the Base Model ... PLUS additional $ for options that were previously in the Big Bend. ALL other models went up proportionately to each other ... except the Big Bend ... why? Because of the elimination of the Base Model.
  10. The death of the Base Model '24 ... take 2!

    No ... but they raised the cost of the Big Bend by $2000 ... but nothing really new at that starting point.
  11. The death of the Base Model '24 ... take 2!

    True ... but the new Big Bend IS the old BasecModel because you have to pay for the optional convenience packages so it was a way to raise the cost of the previous Base Model by $2000 and slap a badge on it and call it a Big Bend. For everyone who starts purchasing the BS 2024 models ... they...
  12. The death of the Base Model '24 ... take 2!

    Ok ... just a tiny bit of venting as I see that the 2024 BS is no longer available in the Base Model ... and it will not be returning. For my no frills generation (I'm 65) who have been used to scripting and saving and making "deals" for decades at our local car dealership ... well, I was...

    *I went with Granger on Friday around 4:00 PM. My credit card showed pending until today, Sunday ... and now it shows Granger was paid ... BUT I HAVEN'T Heard from them yet, either by email or phone cal. Hopefully, tomorrow on Monday I'll hear from them, sign something and then see it on my...
  15. FORD PROTECT Extended Warranty purchased within the first year (Granger,Flood or Zeigler?)

    *So far this is similar to my experience. GRANGER is $900 less than my local Ford place and ZIEGLER is $800 less. Seems to good to be true so needed info to see if these quotes are legit or if it becomes a bait-n-switch then they ask for more $.
  16. FORD PROTECT Extended Warranty purchased within the first year (Granger,Flood or Zeigler?)

    6 months ago, I did a cash purchase for my new '22 BRONCO SPORT and decided to wait to get me Extended Warranty and to shop around. *** What do you think about ... GRANGER, FLOOD AND ZIEGLER??? *All seem to have extremely competitive prices. *** ARE THEY ALL LEGIT??? Thanks!

  18. Towing capacity for Base model without factory install towing package?

    ... working with 2 Ford dealerships now ... the one near my house that I take it to for service and has done a couple of OEM upgrades for me already ... AND yesterday I contacted service manager of the largest Ford dealership in San Antonio where I purchased it (they had more to choose from when...
  19. Towing capacity for Base model without factory install towing package?

    I totally understand/agree and that was my conclusion based on everything I read ... however, as I'm now about to have the Ford class 2 package installed by the Ford dealership using Ford parts ... where I purchased it and who "says" they do this all the time ... he says AFTER they finish with...
