Yeah i see hate on the 1.5s here. I dont care tho and definatley not gonna lose sleep over it.
coming up on 76,000kms on ours, from -40c winter to +40c summers. And to be perfectly frank we are not easy on our sport, we drive it pretty hard and haul our 155lbs cane corso everywhere. We like to...
this is what i like to see, long term reviews.
thanks for letting everyone know what you have accomplished.
alot of hate on these lil 1.5 engines but reviews like this are wicked awesome.
$600 is some coin to shell out, but it is what it is.
maybe once warranty is done, i'll jump on it.
but...
i love my lil 1.5 dragon. its been great. especially up here in canada with 7 months of bitter cold winter. 75000 kilometers and still goin strong.
maybe my dragon is actually a unicorn? lol
ohhhh ive been looking at the bluetti 180. our jackery is just too small for what we need. i feel like portable power stations are the next big thing.
good setup 100%. you can probably get away with sliding it forward for more hatch clearance but i'll leave that up to you 🙂.
we legit lived...
i think alot has to do with changing the oil before recommended intervals. these ecoboosts seem to run dirty, i have been changing every 4-5k kilometers.
thats just my opinion, i could be wrong but straight up running flawless at 75,000 kms.
Ford mechanic or independant told you this? I would get several quotes or diagnosis. Seems excessive to be honest. There should be alot of used parts out there ...
BFG K02s here for about 50,000km. Great in snow, on ice and in mud. We are pretty rough on our sport and hit trails on the regular. Great tire, zero complaints.
i hope i dont jynx it, but zero issues with freezing fluids. in manitoba the last 2 weeks have seen steady -30 celcius, and with windchills at night closer to -40. the sport sits outside, never plugged in, and starts flawlessly. we are legit grateful with our little sport.
#Sparks knows what it...
i agree with the 4-5k oil changes but i get the dealer to do them for warranty, and straight up just because they have been an absolute gem to deal with #steeltownford (every second oil change is free).
i think these ecoboost run dirty so i prefer to change the fluids early.
Can i play too?

Man I work, work, work but I don't climb, climb, climb
Boss man can shove that overtime up his can
All I wanna do is put a drink in my hand"
