Zero regrets. My MSRP was like 34k (without price protection) for a 2022 Lariat Lux w/moon roof and an upcharge paint. Take away Sync4 and the 360 Cameras, I think a similar spec 25 would be 40k plus. No way AWD makes financial sense for me in South Texas, honestly I feel like I was lucky to...
So much this. I don't know what is to blame, EPA forced paint changes or whatever, but I have picked up so many effing rock chips, this paint does not instill confidence. A weekly hand wash and keeping up with wax/ceramic should be enough, it is disgusting to feel obligated to get PPF if you...
I drive incredibly non ideal.
I WFH and live in a relatively compact city, so my drives are almost always under ~10 miles each way and no commute. Usually about 60% of that on the interstate at 60-75 mph.
AC makes about a 2-3 mpg difference for me. Fall, Spring and "Winter" ( South Texas...
Traded an AWD XL I lucked into ( with help from the forum) on my Hybrid when it finally came it. ( Took 3 orders to get one in ).
Zero regrets. I drive a lot of short, in town distance. The Ecoboost was great on the interstate, got in the 30's driving across country, but in town I averaged...
Yeah but Whitecap you can go in a Hybrid, or FWD.
I drove out in my previous FWD Toyota Matrix about once a week, and I took my base XL AWD out there a handful of times too. Only taken my Hybrid once, still letting it be a pavement princess / hardware store hauler.
I installed these shortly after getting my 22, and complained to Ford development via the App Store last time it was broken. They should just allow an API for easy shortcuts, but either way it works great when it works. Happy there are people smarter than me that figure out a fix whenever Ford...
Very interested in this, to avoid removing the stock cover on my Hybrid. What is the coverage like vs the stock fiber/fabric one ? Less worried about offroad stuff, more about easy access to oil changes and maintaining the splash/debris protection underneath. Apologies if I missed a comparison...
So much this. I am into my 2nd year of ownership, and already had the windshield replaced once. First chip was under 1000 miles, RIGHT in the drivers sight line, and the fill was awful but in spec. Didn't even make it another 1k after my replacement before I got some small rock chips. Only 6k on...
I 100% believe there are better gas options. https://www.toptiergas.com/
There are plenty of National Brand gas stations ( like Murphys, Sheetz, WaWa ) that are not top tier.
If you have Progressive in Texas, they just added an option last fall for 0$ glass deductible. Had to raise my deductible from $250 to $500 for comprehensive, but worth it.
I looked at PPF for windshields, but eventually that will look like crap and need replaced, I would rather just let...
Short answer : yes you can have a Wireless CarPlay adapter and retain all FordPass app features.
getting a wireless CarPlay adapter and using the FordPass app are not interconnected.
Pick one up, having wireless CarPlay is great.
Long Answer: the FordPass app is not using Bluetooth in any...
Finished my install today ( short of either resoldering or adding gel boxes over a few temporary uncovered Wagos).
Same as my previous post, LED strip on the hoot with sequential + both running board LED strips with sequential.
The only thing I was missing was the white courtesy lighting on...
I need to clean it up, looks rough right now.
I zip tied it near the hinge for the hood. Probably gonna end up cutting everything to be more exactly the length and re-terminate.
Fuse tap under the dash. Ran a wire, poked a tiny hole in a grommet in the firewall.
Gets it to turn on when the tricks turned on. Originally I had tapped the side markers when I only had the single LED strip and not the running board ones, power draw was too much to run all of those. I may go...
