I live in Beaverton. We love gearhart beach, it's a great beach for razor clamming. Good to know BSBL runs well in soft sand. My 25 BSBL doesn't have rally mode.
The same drawn cover two piece lug nuts were on my 2025. They work but I don't believe they will age well. It's the first change I make on all my fords.
On My 2025 BSBL I was able to toggle off the following.
#6: Wi-Fi Hotspot Broadcasting
#5: FordPass Connectivity Polling
#4: Voice Wake Word Monitoring
#3: Automatic OTA Software Download
My car was on the dealer lot for 5 months so the battery could already be compromised.
Hopefully this...
I am going to check the RDU and PTU levels when I do my first engine oil change. The Ford shop manual for the badlands RDU shows that the plugs should be replaced every time. I thought that was overkill ar least for the fill plug. Are you all replacing the plugs?
I have the add on door keyless entry pad on my BS. It was installed by the dealer. It was a bit tricky getting the personalized key sequance programmed. Works great.
New 2025 BSBL owner here, ~1200 miles. No defects from the factory, no open recalls and it runs perfectly. The design and quality of my BL is great. Alan
I just purchased a shop manual from factory-manual, Its $99 for a download file. You provide you VIN and the manual is customized. Its a copy of the ford service manual, fully comprehensive and is a PDF so you can print pages etc. Worth every penny. Alan
I drained and filled my former Escape and it was really easy to do. I think it was not any risk at all, but I am a DIY guy. And I knew it was done right with the correct fluid.
I recently purchased a new BSBL and decided to ceramic coat it and add a few new parts. I have had a few new cars and never took the time to do this. I added Dawn Industires body side moldings, Tufskins letter overlays and McGard black wheel lock kit. I added the wheel locks since my vehicle...
Here is the Dawn Industies trim installed. It turned out great. I cant tell any paint difference. $200 shipped. I hate door dings, my last car got $1k of door dings in one park visit. I am ready for back country driving during backpacking season!.
They sent me the return label. I sent them pictures and no response yet. I don't think they are going to change the paint shade. My paint has Adams graphene ceramic coating on it, so that could be some difference. I taped them on where they are supposed to go on the lower door and the difference...
Approximately 50% of the fluid is replaced with 1x drain and fill, ~75% with 2x, ~ 90%+ with 3x. The car should be driven around the block and transmission warmed up to operating temp before each drain. This is my understanding, I am good with 2x. I beleive my change interval will be 60K...
My previous vehicle was a 2013 escape sel with the 6F35 six-speed automatic transmission. This trans also had the 150k change interval. It was widely known to have early failures. I drained and filled the fluid 2x at 60k and 90k I traded it with 102k and it shifted perfectly. Our BSBL trans...
Your point are all good. I had dawn Industries body color side moldings on my 2013 escape and I didn't experience any white marks when they were dinged. Let's see what they say about the paint match.
