Looks like you bought a demo vehicle that was taken on a couple of test drives, in reality you should be fine. When I factory ordered my 2022 mustang GT and my 2023 Maverick I took deliver with something like 1-2 KMs on the odometer for each. Also, when I was trying to take a maverick for a...

I have a xlt hybrid and I use to pay attention to when the engine ran and when it didn't. Once I learned the parameters under which it operates I just let it do it's thing. The only time it will run all the time is if I put it in sport mode. In sport mode it always runs and it fakes gear shifts...

The first thing I did to my XLT was to replace the front door and dash speakers with a "drop in" set by Powerbase (OE65C-FD), the cost was about $100 and it took about an hour. This was a huge improvement in sound quality. I am fairly impressed with the head unit's power output. Ford should be...

> 28.5% based on my real world experience dealing with this problem owning a honda. On my honda 1.5 L turbo it would actually cause the oil level to rise from the middle of the low/high level mark on the dipstick to an overfill condition. This engine (1.5 honda turbo) only takes 3.5 L (3.7 qt)...

I remote start my 2023 hybrid XLT all the time in the winter and summer using mostly my keyfob but also the app. Keyfob has really good range. no issues with it not starting every time. Regardless of the HVAC settings, the heater comes on in the winter and so does the heated seats and...

I never buy these plans. I'm not trying to be critical of anyone here but why would you buy something up front and pay taxes and interest, in some cases for years, for something that you might not use. My daughter recently wrote off her one year old Mazda CX-30, guess what her insurance...

It is important to bring the oil up to a full operating temperature frequently in order to "boil" away the condensation and fuel that gets into the oil through normal operating. This contamination process is called "blow by" and it is completely normal for all ICEs. These boiled off "vapors"...

I find that my FWD hybrid has plenty of power even when towing 2k lbs. Keep in mind that 191 HP is the same amount of HP that the early 80s Mustang GTs and Camaros had. Hybrid Mileage is impressive on the highway and excellent in the city. The eco-boost on the other hand will always put a...

I know a couple of retired guys that do this for the local dealerships in my area. I would not have any concerns if that is the case where you are. Ask the dealer how old the driver is.

I noticed a big drop in economy in the winter due to the requirement for the engine to run alot more in order to provide heat. The difference for me, almost all small city driving under 80km/h (50 MPH) is about 25 - 30 % To put it in perspective though, even in the winter the Maverick is...

I notice it slightly and only occasionally. I tend to remote start the truck when its cold (below freezing) a couple of minutes before I get in. I get her going then ask if anyone needs anything while I'm out, get the boots and coat on etc.

The whole wheel is heated and it can become very warm, even hot to the touch. My wife's CX-30 wheel is only partially heated (only on the sides) and I hate it.

Putting a black plastic cover next to a similar red positive cover is just plain bad engineering. It should not have been similar and definitely not black, another color like yellow with an inlayed black pictogram would have stopped someone from assuming that it is a negative.

I have the ford soft tri-fold cover and although it is not completely waterproof it does a really good job at keeping stuff dry and it fits and seals very well IMO. What very little water that does get in stays around the perimeter of the bed. I am actually surprised how well it works. I have...

Modern engines do not require to be warmed up. In the winter I give mine about a minute at 0 f (18 to -20 c), then we are gently off. I will drive it easy for the first few minutes while the internals (and tranny) are getting up to operating temp. The worst thing you can do in the winter is to...

I have been getting these types of messages since day one with my 2022 mustang. The battery tested fine. Two years later I still get the occasional message (random, sometimes right after it has been driven and also when it has not been driven for a couple of days) but the car always fires right...

My hybrid might hit 110 mph but I think that the factory soft tonneau cover is only good for about 90 mph. ;-)

I once got 670 miles (1082 KMs), almost all city below 45 mph (75 KM/h). Driving normal, scooting off the line I get 530 miles (850 KMs) per tank. In the winter it drops about 15% due to the use of the heater. I am very happy with this little truck, I just wished it didn't have so many...

LOL, once you're out of oil (empty) it's time to change it. Strange that they use the word "empty"...
