Honestly, it takes focus to get everything put tight and right during a service even in ideal shop conditions. As much as I enjoyed not sitting in the dealer waiting room, I will probably have more confidence getting most future services in the shop rather than in my driveway. (Getting into my...

Hmm, had it done for the first time last week I don’t think he warmed the engine up? But can’t say for sure as I was warming my own engine up with coffee and watching out the window.

My app said I needed the software update, had that done yesterday and now the app tells me I need the injectors replaced. 😜 Haven’t called the dealer yet but it sounds like that isn’t actually a thing they are doing yet?

1. Take out your rubber floor mats/liners , dump out the abundant sand and crumbs, scrub them clean. Set them out in the sun to dry. 2. With compressed air and a softish brush, clean all of the nooks and crannies in the dashboard, doors, etc. 3. Wipe down surfaces from the top down with a clean...

I think that Sport is living the outdoor life mine only dreams of! Looks great!

I have made a few trips from Atlanta to Florida with a small U-Haul trailer that probably weighed that much. Smooth as silk on my ‘23 OB with the Ford Tow Package. There are some good threads on the topic in here if you do a search.

Had to change my vote in the poll. My 23 Outer Banks with 38K is getting its new water pump next week. Dealer found it was leaking during a service visit and is covering it under the Powertrain warranty. Thanks to the forum posts like this one I was not shocked when I got the news.

Would this product help to work around the valve stem being under the tire? Valve extension...

I just passed 36K this month but they are covering it under the power train warranty. Bought an extended warranty from Granger when I brought the car and it is nice to have that piece of mind. Hoping to have many more years in this car that is perfect for my needs and aesthetic sensibilities.

During a scheduled maintenance visit today I got the news I’m going to need to join the BS New Water Pump Club. Luckily still under warranty. Any tips to share about what to look out for or request as part of this procedure?

Do what!?

If you are low on blinker fluid you should completely drain it and replace it with “Premium” for more powerful blinking. All synthetic of course. A real man would do this himself of course and not trust the dealer to do it for him. The manual says it only needs done every 1M blinks but I don’t...

Whew, my life is way too short to spend time thinking about some of these “problems”. I’ve got me a dependable, pretty simple SUV that can get me from A to B on almost any road in almost any weather. I’m OK with adapting to what the designers decided to set up as the standard features. I engage...

Proud to be an American, not so much a Ford owner? ;-)

The white letters will bother me much less than the chipped or peeling black letters that I would end up having one day. Adding unnecessary little things to my car that WILL degrade and get ugly one day? I figure there will be enough things to take care of as the car ages to keep it looking nice...

Just the looks. We only have one car and honestly every other box was probably checked better by a Honda hybrid CRV. But my heart wanted to see this in my driveway. 2 years and over 30k miles. No regrets.

Sounds like your old age and wisdom were working wonderfully in your favor to: Stubbornly persist in solving the problem, Be open to the idea that it might be your fault, Determine the type of problem it might be, thoroughly check the correct things that could have caused the problem, fixed it...

Well of course Off Rodeo stays in Sport Mode. It just sounds so much more fun when you are in it and aren’t they all there for the adrenaline fun!

Don’t take it personally. Based on the forum it would appear that the Sport owners are mostly serious old men who keep both hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. We just didn’t see your wave. If we noticed your Sport we were trying to spot your model badge to judge you.
