Doing your own oil change? Be ready to spend 15–20 minutes just removing the underbody protection to get to the oil filter. It’s not hard, but it’s definitely not "quick lube" friendly. Here’s where they’ll mess up: First to go are the Torx Plus TP40 bolts on the bumper — not regular Torx, and...

I am removing the underbody of the 2025 BS Badlands Sas. for DIY rustproofing and I just found they switched from Torx to Torx Plus. I had some Fords but never seen with them until today. They look almost the same but it will strip, just a FYI.

To be fair I find colors to be more vivid (other brands are boring) than competitors ... I am looking at you Rav4, HRV, CRV and CX-50

My wait time was exactly 182 days until dealer received it. Dealer warned me the sasquatch option was the slowest one but I wasn't in a hurry. You will get yours don't worry?

This is the CMS revenge ?

Even easier thing ... just disconnect the horn takes 2 minutes?

It's pretty easy to tell if someone has tampered with a vehicle's parameters because the Ford AS-BUILT data — think of it like your vehicle’s digital window sticker with all the factory settings — can be compared to what's currently in the car. Example: If your car originally had the double...

I've use it since 2014 (before I used FoCCCus, even more underground russian tool), it is legit but again there is a risk. If someone doesn't know what they are doing they can brick the BCM or any other modules.?

You can edit things with IDS as well... dealer use that. No reputable dealers would use a russian tool that is bypassing Ford encryption. But you can!

2.0L is uncommon. We have to wait to see for the 2025 MPC both 1.5L & 2.0L (new engines for the BS, yes I know it exist on the Escape 2023+)

That was one of the TSB ... ?‍♂️

Badlands if you are thinking of going off-roading, camping ... it's a more adventurous SUV vs Santa Fe. If you think mostly paved road, you'll be better with the Santa Fe IMO. I chose the badlands because there was plenty of scenarios we had to turn around and couldn't go hiking of some of the...

Dealers need to flush which a lot don't ... there is residual casting sand in the 1.5L block castings. It's eating the water pump, it is very abrasive. I think this was included in TSB procedure, some technician don't check thoroughly unfortunately.

Yes, even more space with the air filter not being there anymore... Which is very nice for the trans fluid change or mount things there.

I tried to check behind but that would require to take off the bumper. Maybe an exploded view on Ford parts would help...

Forscan can show that.

Hehe I know what I got ?

I was saying that MPC is kinda new vs the old 2.0l ecoboost

If you have some spare change go for the badlands trim. PTU is watercooled vs aircooled. Overall cooling is improved. Even if the 2.0L is a MPC right now it has been tested for longer (2023) than the 1.5 MPC (2025)

Ok I will after work today.
