Almost at 30,000 miles now, 24 months ago I drove my Base Model home, Still love it, No fuel smell, injectors good so far. I’ll ask when I go in for my regular 5k mile oil change

My rear window wiper was beginning to tear. It lasted 24 months, typical, no complaints there. The front ones were doing ok but we’re starting to feel stiff at the tips and old man winter is knocking at my door so it was time for a new set of wipers. I stopped at Car Quest in Murphy NC to find a...

Then there is the ‘tooling’ up time for other suppliers right. I figured that’s why the coveted engine covers get produced in such low numbers.

I’d like # 2 and # 3

Imagine : News Flash ! Ford has another FIRE BOMB vehicle like the Pinto of days gone by. Or Ford is delivering hazardous vehicles that can catch fire ! Ford cannot let that happen. They just can’t. So if they delivered to the dealer then John ‘Q’ public will show up at the dealer and demand...

Mine sounds pretty good to me even with those crappy specs.

And mine and the few, right up here with me I’ve talked to in person have not had any problems. Eight so far. I suspect most of those problems are in the 2022 models. And so few in this forum, Interesting.

I think it is as I don’t have a front camera. Backing into a parking space with the back up camera does feel safer to me. I have trouble judging the last two feet over the tall hood.

In the five Goat mode system all the modes are basically throttle remapping. You want snappier power you gotta move up the tac. You want easier control in slick stuff you lessen throttle response. Example: regular drive mode, a half inch of gas pedal movement gives ‘X’ amount of acceleration…...

I was raised in Florida sugar sand and beach sand. Plus we had swamp mud. I have no experience at all with rock gardens. It was common knowledge that in sand wide tires held the vehicle up better. And in mud tall tires worked best as they dug in deep to grab. Sand liked chevrons and mud liked...

I’ve had some luck with two odd ball techniques. I pull in a parking spot and just as I’m about to come to a complete stop, and I mean inches. I lift my braking foot to where the brakes are just barely able to hold the vehicle still then re apply the brakes as I stop. But not by much, Just a...

I’m telling you guys this and if I’m lying I’m dying. ‘Bots’ are writing these articles and some guy spit shines them up a bit. Some guy that’s just another talking head gets the data and stats from some algorithm and spoon feeds this crap to the general public. . We will only know how good our...

Man this engine stuff is complicated to me. Thanks for making me wiser.

“A mild can tune from a reputable tuner is unlikely to cause damage or significantly reduce the life expectancy of an engine.” I would think a so called ‘Mild tune’ would only let you actually feel a difference if you were really pushing the engine, rpm’s above what ? 5,000 rpm.. I would not...

A while back I had two fat guys and some heavy junk in the trunk. And me but I’m skinny. We wuz doin some ass haulin on the interstate and some light hill climbs In my Appalachian’s, In my 3 banger, It did fine and when I needed/wanted a lil extra push I had it by pushing my right foot down...

“Then they also de-tune to reduce drive train failures. So usually that leaves a ton of room for after market tunes to add a lot of power especially turbo engines.” “Drive train failures” There is no replacement for displacement. My little 1.5L 3 banger gets around just fine. If stock means I’m...

“width is 8.5 inches instead of 7 inches like the stock rims.” Ok so your tires are wider correct? More rubber on the road, more noise, I bet your mpg’s will be different. Noise is resistance.

Yeah, could come back the next day right ?

Got my water pump in two days. My dealer paid the up charge for next day air. Just sayin’ I keep posting this in the various water pump threads. My posts seem to vanish. I don’t know but I’m beginning to suspect a bot is wiping me. But they let me post all kinds of bat chit crazy stuff, so...

I will never buy another Ford ! Because they made me come get it outside in the rain ! Hahahaha You should’ve said, ‘Take it inside and dry it off or the deals off. I’m not paying for a wet Vehicle.’ No really you should’ve said that and snapped a picture of the Salesman’s face. Good 👍 one, LoL...
