In reality it is not a mid-$40s vehicle. Ford upped the MSRP but they can be had cheaper now than when I was looking at the end of 2022: And for those who would ask why would anyone get a Big Bend right now if Badlands cost that much? It's that Big Bends cost so damn little:

The bigger problem you will have is that the OEM Falken Wildpeaks AT3W 235/65/17 are out of production. They are still hanging around at Discount Tire for now, but they have been reduced to $156 a tire. Falken moved onto the AT4W and the tread patttern is different and they don't make an OEM...

I rented a Passport Trailsport oddly enough in California earlier this year. I thought it was wild that they even acquired the Trailsport trim for a rental fleet. I really enjoyed driving it for 4 days. Very fun vehicle.

Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street own an huge amount of the shares. Thing is that the leadership of these groups have taken to promotion of social causes using other people's money. I presume electric cars rank high on their social good index. This is the problem with our current iteration of...

Democrats need to stop pushing EVs and Republicans need to stop resisting them. The market will adopt EVs in time. As the infrastructure to support them grows and range/charging availability increases, more and more will make the switch. Trying to get the automakers to stop making ICE engines...

Just a win all around. Love those Falkens!

I agree I wouldn't do it either. However, folks over at the F15014thGen forum have been switching out their 8" to 12" for years using similar platforms with success. Difference is they are still using dedicated Ford licensed parts through a company called Infotainment. That involves changing...

I like the look. How is the weight and fuel economy?

No issue here. The Battery Management System sucks so bad already that auto-stop is basically turned off on its own!

I am pretty sure that this is not Ford factory work. The Base model you have did not have a two tone option from the factory. It was body color roof. Thus, like with the Big Bend trim, if you have a black roof (save for the 2024 BAP), it is an aftermarket job,.

This. Go check any dealer lot. There is a ton of Sports. Now that the overall market shifted towards buyers, the production schedule for dealer orders was probably too high at the price point Ford intended towards the end of last year. Now they are having to bust out incentives and dealer...

I believe it. I think that Ford has a battery management issue on the Sport, possibly restricted to the 1.5L (not sure if the program is different for the 2.0L). I check the state of charge on the battery basically daily and I have never seen such wild fluctuations on the state of charge. I...

Ask anyone with a 2024 F-150 order how that is working. Not a single 2024 has been delivered yet almost two full months into 2024. Ford's production schedule is getting all out of whack.

Yeah, that seems more like a popularity list to me. They also drill down to trim level. Like they list the Maverick XL Hybrid as a bad deal. That is likely because does not make many XL Hybrids. They make a crap ton of XLT Hybrids, which you can find at MSRP. They also make more Lariat Hybrids...

Maybe go ahead and buy a set of 4 and stash em? I would consider it but mine only have 2,500 miles on them. Got at least 3 years before new tires. Don't want to store them that long.

DT will always take good care of you and they know what sizes fit. Also, off road shops like 4 Wheel Parts not only will put larger tires on your ride, they will convince you to do so.

Looks great! You install the RC nudge bar?

Many suspect that with the F150 issues it is related to OTA software updates that are very common there. I think performing a BMS reset after an OTA is helpful. However, that wouldn't be the cause of the problems with the Sport. Maybe it is just bad OEM batteries, just seems like multiple Ford...

I am a Ford guy, pretty well always have been. My DD is an F150 Platinum and I am pretty active on the F15014th Gen forum. There is an explosion of battery management threads and complaints on that forum. The issues over there predate the onset of winter, much the same as over here. Perhaps the...

There is something on your order that is constrained. Typically "material hold" is usually an optional add such as fender flares or splash guards.
