Math gets crazier when you try to calculate cost of the recall fix. They've got over 200k units that need fixed, between the handful on the lots and the enormous amount of people already driving theirs. So if the fix is $2,000 each, it will cost well above $400 million to fix all of them. I'm...

That sucks, if you're limping along a bad battery waiting for a replacement due to recall, you'd think they'd be covering any related costs until they can fix it. I'd seriously consider just going and buying a decent quality battery on your own. I know it stings, as they should be incurring...

My understanding is that these dim spots are simply to pass (more like dupe) an antiquated compliance test for headlight assemblies. There are specs that state there has to be a certain amount of light (or less) measured at a specific spot in space...at a specific distance from the vehicle and...

If something works, one must add more features, until it doesn't.

I hand wash with the 2 bucket method. I've found the best way to handle bugs is a good defensive strategy. I wax my vehicles a few times a year. But I hit the front end surfaces with spray wax after every single wash. Get something compatible with whatever wax or coating you use. Meaning often...

I end up getting the Tufskinz. Squeezed the truck into the garage to let it warm up, then used a little bit of a heat gun on tailgate a bit as I went along, since I had to open up the garage door to make some room. I like the color. Although the Tremor logos have a bit of metallic in the...

Maybe you had mostly higher stress types of driving within the last week...idling, short trips, towing, all city, etc? Stuff that would put you more into the severe service bracket. In which case the algorithm might figure you'll be doing that constantly and deriving a shorter interval. Here's...

There's also some slick alternate connection systems out there designed for this, if you can find a spot for them. This Mag Code system has a break away connector that's short circuit proof. At a price, though. Rosenberger MagCode

Per your suggestion, I did just try tow/haul coming up the hills in my plan, and it seems to be a better band aid than sport mode. I'll have to try it in some daily use. Plus it doesn't add the fake engine sound like sport does. On paper, the OEM+ tcm tune holds most of my interest. Really...

Not sure how long it takes but I waited over a month and the points never showed in my account. I had to go online via Ford website, instead of app, and logged into Ford account there. Once logged in, I went to "rewards dashboard" from account drop down menu. Bottom of dashboard page has a...

Sounds like the engine is lugging. I'll usually either back off the throttle a bit if I don't really need any more speed/torque, or I'll apply more and enough throttle to make the transmission downshift. Sometimes I'll put it in Sport drive mode to help up some hills, one being the hills into...

I'm by no means an expert on this but I thought I read that there is a maximum value you can set the BCM tire diameter to, and that limit was kinda based on what the max diameter of the stock options were. It would let you save any number you want to in there, but would raise a fault if you...

Nice job. I'm lurking here as an Ecoboost driver, but this has given me a couple ideas. My Maverick is likely going to sit a lot in the summer, so I'd like to do something better than cracking the hood open all the time. Was going to get one of those rear bumper tow hitch trim panels to clean up...

Aside from motorcycles being the king of waves, there are only a few vehicles out there were waving is very common. Jeep is the biggest. And it's also popular with Subaru WRX's. There's probably a couple others I'm not aware of. Otherwise, aside from a few exceptions like that, waving seems to...

Ahh...thanks for the PSA, I'm pushing 250# so not much room for friends.

I think an Etsy supplier makes some like that. But seen differing opinions on quality and/or color.

Thanks! I like it. Where did you find those? Seen some Etsy stuff but occasional complaints on color. Current thought was to spend the little extra on the Tufskinz.

Hi gang. Would like to get some Maverick tailgate lettering, but can't decide between black and the Tremor orange colors. I've seen some pics of white Tremors with the black lettering and it looks good. But haven't seen any pics of the Tremor orange lettering. At least on a white one, seen a...

Hmm...anyone know if one can do something to change this on a keyed ignition vehicle (XLT Tremor)? I have the remote with key, and would rather everything unlock with one press instead of two. I tried the method above with the interior buttons to no avail. Granted, I haven't dug through the...

I like to do the first change between 1000 to 1500 miles. You'll find no manufacturer recommendations for this. I've always done this with new vehicles, with the intent of getting more of the break in metal particulate out of the oil as the engine. It might be totally unnecessary, and I'm sure...
