Sorry, this is lengthy but I think some will find it interesting:
I was in the Hilton hotel in downtown Anchorage and with the time difference I was sound asleep. I was there because at the time I was the team photographer for the St. Louis Blues hockey team and we were holding training camp on...
My 2012 Expedition had real leather which eventually cracked and split along the perforations for the ventilated seats, after about 10 years. We had Katzkin replacements installed in 2022 and they have been great – better than the originals. Not cheap, but fair for the quality of the product and...
That's a real bummer – sorry this happened to you. When you pay a significant price for a vehicle I think you have a right to expect the seats to last longer than 2-3 years. Warranty or not, I would take it back to the dealer and ask them to get a zone rep involved. At a minimum they should give...
You may already know this, but since they have issued a recall to replace the EFB battery with AGM I think you may be able to get Ford to reimburse you for the AGM that you had to purchase. We got a new AGM installed a month or two ago at no charge, including pickup and delivery of our BS by the...
Great photos! I’d love to see a full size version of the one in the center — those clouds are incredible!! Yellowstone is such a special place. Welcome to the forum.
Very interesting. I will need to get one of these. I have yet to experience any battery issues with our BS, but I have been chasing problems with my Expedition for the last couple of years. Possible parasitic drain, but I can't find it, despite lots of testing. At least with this device I can...
As to your original question as to how to get your vehicle from Ogalla to Boise...
I certainly appreciate your situation regarding not missing work at a brand new job.
There are companies that offer door-to-door shipping services. Do a Google search for "car shipping companies" and you'll...
Thanks for the follow-up -- this makes me feel a little better. I by no means have to deal with SOCAL traffic, but most of my trips are relatively short and even longer trips are still around town (St. Louis) so my display typically says 21-22, and I tend to drive about 80 if I am on the...
I would sure like to know what you folks are doing to get 30+mpg from the BL/2.0. The best I have managed is around 23-24. I admittedly drive pretty fast, but that wouldn't account for a 10 mpg difference.
Only 14K on our 2022 Badlands, purchased in late October '22. Only service has been the two oil changes.
EDIT TO ADD: I forgot to include that they did the 24S24/24V267 battery/PCM service while it was there for the last oil change, but only because it was recommended, not because we had...
Nice write-up! I've driven both of these passes, Ophir several times. Always in larger body-on-frame vehicles. I would not hesitate to take our Badlands over either, but we travel with two dogs in crates and a lot of camera gear, so the Sport is just too small for our annual trip out there. I...
Yikes! Certainly SOUNDS like electrical arcing. I hope it was just noise coming through the speakers. Good luck, and I look forward to an update when you get it figured out!
I agree 100%. We have spent time in western Colorado every fall for over 40 years and are on 4WD rated trails almost every day we are there, chasing pictures of the aspens. But we do this in body-on-frame vehicles with 4LO transfer cases (currently a 2012 Expedition, lift, winch, tires, etc.)...
I have this one from Crutchfield. I bought from them because of the exemplary customer service they are known for. So great to be able to call and ask questions both before and after purchasing.
I put it in my 2012 Expedition with a Kenwood aftermarket stereo and it works like a champ. I bought...
I’m 100% on board with doing the Xpel and Ceramic first. You can always do tires, but once you get a rock chip in your paint you’ve got it forever.
Not all PPF is created equal, and you are right to be going with Xpel. Best out there. We did PPF for everything forward of the A pillar, including...
