  1. Outer Banks vs Badlands

    Be careful if you set out to "test abilities." For some reason that always results in finding it's limits - usually in the most embarrassing way possible. Case in point: Burying my Jeep up to the frame even with a lift, lockers, and 37" tires. Don't ask how, LOL! Saved by an old Toyota -...
  2. Outer Banks vs Badlands

    For most, true... but for the one I pulled out of the sand (twice) they sure wish they had the locking diff. Nothing worse than having your entire 4wd system defeated by one spinning wheel while your traction control tries to burn down your brake pads. Kind of hated the rubber mats to begin...
  3. What a difference 91 octane makes in the 2.0 motor.

    Interesting... Maybe I'll try premium again now that break-in has passed. Went from first tank 91 to mid-grade and now been running 87 for about 2K miles. Not sure about the E85 suggestion - sounds like a good way to void your warranty.
  4. Do you use autostart?

    It's not my "opinion" it's my real world experience which believe it or not can vary from yours :crackup: (also an infrequent short-distance driver - so just sounded odd since I don't seem to have this problem). But yes, another reason to disable it! Wish it would stay disabled. Thx government.
  5. Do you use autostart?

    Low battery? Something is wrong if a new vehicle keeps discharging the battery due to non-use or short miles. Should be able to sit for weeks with no problem. Even with just a few minutes running on occasional short trips. I'd have the dealer look at that.
  6. Just put Maverick steel wheels (steelies) on my 2021 sport. What do you all think?

    ...or just slow down in front of you! Had a friend in college with a black Crown Vic; always ended up cursing at people crawling down streets at 25mph. :crackup:
  7. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power warning.

    Yes, have all the messages in the app. Called dealer this week and I guess they have the ability to look up codes remotely. Finally recorded something related to a transmission solenoid so taking it in Monday.
  8. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power warning.

    Did they get a code, or just guessing at it? Had it happen 3 more times, but goes away before I can get it over there. Says reduced power but doesn't seem like it's in limp mode. It's literally just the warning that bugs me at this point. Figured I have a lot more warrantee left, lets see if...
  9. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power warning.

    Sounded like this was something they knew about, but didn't have any info on what to do about it.
  10. Powertrain Malfunction?

    Doing the same. I have this same intermittent problem, except I've already been to the dealer, who then did nothing. Just happened again to me for the second time. Light, no light on restart. Dealer says they couldn't find any issues (aside from the fact I have a record of the malfunction in...
  11. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power warning.

    Update: Dealer basically said "huh, no codes and seems ok" and did nothing. Now 400mi later and it happened again. Same light. Went away after I parked it for about 30min. Now no light or codes. Debating whether it's worth my time to have the dealer tell me there's nothing wrong with it...
  12. Factory mats sliding around on plastic floor - anyone have luck fixing?

    Mmmm, vinegar... Gonna go drive around in the salad mobile! LOL
  13. Factory mats sliding around on plastic floor - anyone have luck fixing?

    Got the molded rubber ones from Ford Accessories. They're nice! Just wish there was a way to attach the carpet mats since the new ones snap into the front leaving the carpets loose (but far less slippery than the floor and acceptable). I really like how the back mats cover the center hump and...
  14. Factory mats sliding around on plastic floor - anyone have luck fixing?

    Not sure. It came with the same standard mats as the Big Bend - nothing special about them that indicates Badlands version. Driver's map snaps into place on two pegs, passenger has one peg, rear just slide around wherever they like.
  15. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power warning.

    Just got this warning too... only 320mi. It went away though, still going to make an appt.
  16. Factory mats sliding around on plastic floor - anyone have luck fixing?

    What's the part # on those? Back seat floor too? Those are nice, just going to order some and be done with it.
  17. Factory mats sliding around on plastic floor - anyone have luck fixing?

    Tried multiple adhesives on the floor - nothing sticks (which is impressive, but not exactly the result I was hoping for, LOL).
  18. Engine Cover Badlands 2.0 missing

    Dammit people! Now that I know about this, had to go look... and now it's going to bother me. Maybe I'll just pretend I didn't read this thread and go about my life... Ugh! I can't! :crackup:
  19. Fake V8 sound on Badlands? Fool me once Ford.

    Is it weird mine doesn't make the sport mode sounds? Probably more annoying/stupid than anything else, but now kinda sad I don't get to join in on the complaining (and listening to those sweet fake v8 noises :sunglasses::crackup:)
  20. Factory mats sliding around on plastic floor - anyone have luck fixing?

    I have the standard carpet ones, and my drivers' side is fine - mounts in place on two posts just like yours. The other ones though... Front passenger side has one post that it swivels around on, and the back are completely useless. They spend more time bunched-up under the front seats more...
