Chromium metal is a very hard brittle metal. It is not ductile. It is also extremely expensive and only used as a very thin protective or decorative coating, microns thick. I'm a retired metallurgist and have worked with pure chromium. We used pure metals in some basic proof of concept...

The Wildtrak is the Badlnds sold in the South American market .Maybe it has some other differences in their computer modules. I ordered the keypad with my '24 Badlands as a DIO. It's weird that the numbers are blue in the Accssories image. Mine are red as on earlier Bronco Sports.

I learned about the lug nuts being a potential problem when I was on the Escape forum... I had a '17 Escape SE, that I traded in on my Badlands. I put chrome McGards on my Escape, and black DP lug nuts on my Badlands. No particular reason why I chose one brand over the other, although I believe...

Welcome aboard. One of the first upgrades that many make is a new set of quality lug nuts. Ford uses a lug nut with a plastic outer portion. In time, from regular maintenance tire rotations, the plastic outer portion becomes damaged and distorted, making it impossible to remove with a normal...

Yes, it is typically in a small yellow coin envelope , stored in the glove box or the center console on delivery of a new car. If the car was bought used, it may have been discarded by the first owner, not knowing what it is.

When I had a BMW with their roadside service (pushbutton on the roof, like GM's On*Star), they always called AAA. Their choice of tow operator may vary by region. When I replaced the BMW, I got AAA for myself.

My point is that it doesn't require a connetction to function.

This was the only time that this happened.

As I said, this is the built-in Voice Navigation, not the Subscription version. I rarely use Nav, so that part's not a concern, but the temporary loss of cruise control is bothersome.

On a more serious note, I'm surprised a bit that Ford is planning on discontinuing the Escape. IMO, it's not a good substitute for those looking for a family car for a small family (Mom, Dad, and a couple rugrats, and maybe needing space for a rear facing child seat). Reason: rear legroom. In...

There is a wiper motor recall for a limited number of '23-'24 Bronco Sports, which in some cases may require a wiper motor replacement, and that may be the reason for a shortfall in parts availability.

I've done that with my Ford Pass app, duplicating their entries with reality, like installing the rear mudflap on one of the front wheel wells, drilling holes, and then having to order a new fender arch and have me to return a few days later to install it. Yeah, my local dealer's mechanics...

Continuous improvement! Remember that manufacturers aren't in business to make the best products. They are in business to make as much money as they can and scrimp on parts and materials wherever they can.

In my notes, I found a Part Number for the folding headrests in tan material. M1PZ-78611A08-EB M1PZ-78611A09-EA Here a couple of places to try. I'm not recommending them, just giving you a start on your search. Each link is for one side only. You need to search the other part number for the...

I've misplaced the original bulbs and packaging, but was able to find the links to the Amazon pages. Alla Lighting T15 Base 912 921 LED Bulbs, Amber Yellow Turn Signal https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1626VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Manufacturer Part Number...

That's what I'm thinking also. When I shut off the engine in traffic, I did not open the door. Thinking now that I should have opened and closed my door to see if it cleared. OTOH, I wanted the screen error to be there when I reached my destination to take a picture of it.

SYNC 3.4 23188. When I bought the car, I checked it to be sure that it is current.

Fortunately, most of the advertising industry finally got tired of, "It will change your life." Quite a few things have changed my life: parents passed away, oldest brother passed away, a close friend was diagnosed with cancer. These things all changed their life and mine, and not for the...

I got this fault this morning when I headed out to the store. Battery good, not a low battery, I keep it on a battery tender. Built-In Navigation, not Connected Service (Subscription Nav). I noted that my cruise control was not working. It would not enable and wasn't reading Speed Limit...

Aaaaaaahhhhhh! [emulating Charlie Brown after Lucy pulls the football away]
