So now that we have quite a few folks that own the B/S, I have a few questions (apologies in advance if some of these have been answered elsewhere in brochures etc but answers from actual owners beat everything else, IMO).

1. Are there traditional dipsticks for checking oil and ATF?
2. Do oil and ATF changes look easy? Does the AT unit have a drain plug? (how is the access to oil filter/drain plug, and the AT drain plug, IF there is one?
3. Does the PTU and rear Diff have "fill holes"? Do they look like one can change the fluids in those as a DIY?
4. Are there good flat spots underneath for hack stands?
5. I know by default rear seats don't fold 100% flat. What if you remove ALL rear seat head rests? CAN they be fully removed? (I have them removed in my 2010 Escape AND have the seats fully folded so the rear view mirror is actually useful to SEE out of the rear hatch window - huge improvement in visibility)


Thanks in advance
