Jeez o Osco, "people thinking for themselves" went out with the advent of social media. You must be as old as I am (well, almost, give or take decade or 3).Jeez o Pete, the complaining !
I pumped my ‘pockets’ with atv silicone. I can peel it out if need be. Problem solved.
What happened to people thinking for themselves, Complain complain complain.
I wish I lived somewhere where I only saw it on glass rims!Salt belongs on glass rims, not roads!
So no worries about mudd build up in wheel wells, no?I’m about to hit 20,000 miles, I’ve had this little Escape on Steroid’s for 18 months now and I still dig the thing.
In the 35th month of ownership I’m buying one of those extended warranties and at the end of that three year warranty It will be six years old and approaching 100,000 miles. Then I’ll trade it in on a new vehicle. Probably the AWD model of the Maverick since it’s the same drive train as this BS.
I’ll take care of it, but I won’t sweat the small stuff.
Mine is a USED vehicle now and I’m past that first scratch.
I will not obsess over the small stuff, I mean stones.
It’s just a vehicle.
Thou shalt not covet….
If its just a vehicle then why do you need an extended warranty. Just put silicone on everything when it breaks .. i will not pay 30 grand for a car and have to put silicone on any spot .. im not a fix it with duct tape type guy. Id rather get it done the right wayI’m about to hit 20,000 miles, I’ve had this little Escape on Steroid’s for 18 months now and I still dig the thing.

I can't make those two statements go together. I too have had terrific good luck with Ford vehicles. That's given me confidence to keep my money instead of paying for repair insurance. I do the math to figure out how much the extended warranty adds to my monthly payment, then put that amount into an interest-bearing account instead. In five years (or after 60K miles) I'll have a sizeable chunk of dough collecting interest. If I ever need it, it's there. If I don't, then I'm money ahead.Every Ford I’ve ever owned (5) was always cheap to keep, affordable and reliable.
As long as I’m making payments on $28k vehicles I’ll add an extra 8% in repair insurance.
