Its common to reduce gap in turbo engine cause of so much cylinder pressure spark can struggle to jump the gap. But it looks like Ford specifies small gap already. My old SRT4 factory gap spec around .050 and I reduced to .032 to prevent misfires since I bent waste gate arm to up boost a few PSI.
Original battery, original tires, original wiper blades etc. And mine sat in Mexico baking in mexican summer sun for 6 months missing chip after it was built. So little odd original battery still in it.
Drained and refilled RDU fluid due to the '21s vent tube issue where water dirt can get in. 23k miles. Fluid was not low and not very dirty either. Drain plug had magnet.
Had a hard time getting fill plug out with exhaust pipe in the way. Used 3/8 ratchet with bendable head which was able...
This November will be 3 years with my '21 Badlands. 23k miles garage kept pavement princess. I replaced Manual Park Release Cable with third revised design to get rid of faint rattle. Heard rear brake moan several times after 17k miles or so. Other then that its been problem free.

You check out the prices of a new Fords lately? You can option up a Mustang GT to mid 60s now. '25 Badlands now starts at 41k before adding options and you get a 12 hp drop in power with the new bloated price. I see cloth interior F150s in the 60k range on dealer lots. Across the board new...

And Ford does not care if everything you own...
I been lurking around on Honda Pilot forums and tons of ppl lemon lawing brand new Hondas. Given the Passports long in the tooth design I think your chances are better then Pilot. Hondas are far far far from inflatable vehicles. Buyer beware.
I have seen a few Badlands with bad RDUs over the years. Not many be definitely a few. I definately would no categorize them as problematic like someone else said.
I have 23k miles on my '21 I am gonna change that RDU fluid soon. No noise just preventative. Mines an early build that has the...

There are companies out there selling 2.0 blocks with 2.3 cranks because the 2.0 block is considered stronger then 2.3 block. Can also have local machine shop swap the 2.3 crank/rods/pistons into 2.0 block. Googled it the Focus ST guys have been doing the 2.3 crank into 2.0 block for a long...
