The high velocity air blower / dryer at an automated car wash inverted my hood! Hood went from generally convex to generally concave under the air pressure from the blower. It did "pop back" but this can't be good for the paint. Anyone else ever see this? Man the hood must be thin!

Here's a thought: Modes are like music styles. What's your drive style? 40's 50's 80's 90's /Punk/Heavy Metal: Sport Mode 20's 30's / Bluegrass & Country: Mud/Ruts Classical or Classic Rock: Normal 60's/Trance/Easy Listening/New Age: Slippery 70's, 2000's, NPR: Eco Love Songs*, Talk, News...

Saw a Tesla Cybertruck on the road on the drive home tonight. Anyone interested? Looks like cross between a Hummer and a DeLorean. The tires and stance, very Hummer.

Ok. What is this empty bracket for? This is a 2022 Hybrid. Do EcoBoosts have this bracket? For context: Painted glossy lacquer finish. Looks untouched. Has 4 through holes (yellow). Has one slot (pink). Has 2 indexing detents (blue). more angles:

I have 10 radio presets. These buttons usually cycle between the 10. Nothing else. Sometimes I want to "scan" to next available signal, not a preset. I swear I can use these buttons to scan sometimes and sometimes not. I don't consciously know how I'm getting in and out of that mode. Any...

There is ONE official hood prop spot marked by arrow. If like me, you want additional "head space" when working under the hood, there is an alternate unofficial hood prop spot. No risk of hood falling. The rod kinda "snaps" into the hole making it more secure than the official spot, if...

My dealer added too much oil. I thought it would be easy to suck some out via the dipstick tube but the process wouldn't work. At all. Any ideas other than remove the drain plug a few revolutions and let it drip out the bottom? I had 0.25" O.D. 0.17" I.D. Tube and syringe. Tight seal on...

Got the "new and improved" underbody splash guard on my 2022 hybrid today. Got it "on the house" from my dealership but they only cost $51 and are also used on Escapes.

I don't want to scare you, but this was weird. With all this computer controlled equipment, there's going to be "glitches". 2022 XLT Hybrid Pressed the keyfob once, unlocked driver's door only, opened door, chime was going off- the same chime that goes off when you try to exit with key still...

2022 XLT Hybrid has no "Lifetime" MPG value stored. (Your truck probably does not either.) You can "reset to zero" your trip odometer and MPG info whenever you want. But what happens if you never press reset? Others have shown the miles only tally up to 9999 then roll over to zero. The MPG...

This first page will be updated regularly with Actual Observed Values reported by members. This is geared towards ScanGauge users, but the same, or perhaps other data may be observed using other software or hardware scanners. I can add additional lines to this table if additional PID's...

HYBRID TALK ONLY HERE. The hybrid tows great. Having pretty much ALL the instruments displayed (up to 27 simultaneous sensors displayed via OBDII port on a scan gauge,) you CAN'T make the engine overheat, assuming proper coolant level and good water pump and clean radiator fins. THE RADIATOR...

Or at the very least, forgot to put everything back on after service. Two weeks or so after dealer completed oil change, I looked under the truck for the first time. The aerodynamic / splash guard is missing!!! So I'm taking a poll: Chew the dealership out on Monday and demand a replacement...

If you want to see your odometer without keys, toggle the headlamp switch. I guess it's not very necessary as it shows when you open the driver's door also. But I was sitting in the truck long enough for it to timeout and go dark again. Toggled the headlamps and voila. Works in XLT hybrid.

Question: If I have to buy a new 12 volt battery from Acme Tractor Supply because I'm stranded more than 100 miles from a Ford Dealer, will Ford reimburse me for my out-of-pocket expense during the warranty period? @Ford Motor Company @fordvideoguy And will I need to keep the failed battery...

I recorded some hybrid battery internal temperature data on a 75 minute drive and compared it to what the hybrid battery coolant temperature was. Data was recorded at roughly 1 minute intervals. Outdoor Air Temperature was about 80 degrees at the start, and 78 degrees at the end. Data came...

I don't use remote start often. I have the button on my keyfob. Those who read my posts know I advocate for highest MPG and remote starting is not the way to get 800 miles on a tank, but that's not the topic here. I tried it when the truck was new just to prove I could. I've used it from the...

Many places in many threads I (along with a majority of owners) have stated that "low" gear position in the hybrid is mostly for helping to slow you down, and really does not help you for going uphill or pulling something heavy. I'll still stand by that remark. I may have said once or twice...

Note this image: I can do this any day of the week. I have dozens of photos. But note: during the time the engine was running, the engine was getting 18.2 MPG. The devil is in the details. The hybrid advantage is: + No idling + Coasting Engine Off + Running under heavy load when running...
