I've drive a few roads that can get close to 20 degrees but yes these are local mountain roads not highways and yes I've towed and hauled up some of those roads but not anything more than about 1500 lbs for towing and no you are not doing 55 mph or more on these types of roads. The 20 degree...

The radar sensor if it can't see straight ahead on steep enough inclines is going to be an issue whether you are towing anything or not. If Ford was really concerned about using CC or ACC while towing they'd had just programmed or hardwired the off function to be automatically active while a...

Well it is straightfoward how to do it, the phones and tablets in many cases have a built in am / fm radio tuner and this I am unsure of either have a seperate or make use of the cell antenna. Using the usb connector and the am / fm tuner app you have installed is going to use the car speakers...

The only use I've found for AM radio is to determine if your age generation is a societal persona non grata. When you are, the music of your youth only resides at the tail end on the AM bandwidth. First you go from the "modern" FM stations to classic or oldies then lower AM band and finally the...

Nice write up. Only thing I'd add not that you can't but you really shouldn't use CC or ACC when towing. It puts more strain on the engine and transmission to maintain speed than needed. On flat roads with straight runs and little traffic it is not a big problem but in traffic and hills is a...

I didn't, I am just thorough to sideline conjecture from others in this case.

Also that should gear chain not drive train. It is spelled out in detail in the shop manual as seen here.

You can but not for anywhere near $100 to have Ford put on as an option. To the O/P question. Take delivery and resell it yourself, don't let the dealer make even more money for the mistake.

No it is the same 8F35 transmission. The only 2 to 3 pieces that are different are the drive and driven gears and maybe the drive train. Those 2 gears are in the housing in that holds the torque converter and determine the final drive ratio depending how many teeth are on each gear.

Search around the forum, the short answer is the reason why they don't offer AWD on the hybrids is the same reason they don't offer 4k tow on FWD models, because of the suspension system. AWD and FWD models use different suspensions. The FWD variant as far as AWD goes doesn't have room to...

The AWD is the same system as used on all the trims sans ones with a Tremor package. They require it as part of the LUX package same as a 2022. My guess is to streamline production and delivery times they decided to drop the other drivetrain options on Lariats. There really isn't much in base...

Having owned a Maverick for close to a year know and using it normally and abusing it when needed I will say that there is no mid range truck that is more capable when it comes light and medium duty work while still being a economical daily driver. Payload wise a Maverick is actually higher than...

That is fine for a truck being used on a job site or a short distance hauler like an automotive parts store delivery vehicle as long as the grid can handle all these trucks being charged overnite. With that said I wouldn't buy an all electric truck as a daily driver if I didn't plan to use it...

In fairness to crackheads they usually aren't looking to jack trucks, they are only looking for loose change or anything like a cell phone they can pawn or sell for a quick buck.

You can still hot wire a push button start and unlike a keyed truck you shouldn't need to also be able to unlock the steering wheel. Anyone who has actually done this or knows someone who has can chime in on the not needing to also unlock the steering wheel.

Yes if you qualified and generated a certificate before the deal expired. I wasn't aware at the time I bought my truck and did this about 5 months afterwards and it went through with no issues. I had even called customer service and was told you had up to a year to claim it from the date of...

What side of the radiator was the pin hole? Was it the outside facing the grille or inside facing the engine?

People have switched them out from other Ford vehicles successfully.

40K is not out of line if the truck was fully loaded with a moonroof, Lux, FX4 and 4K tow packages. Yeah it is marked up but only by about 3k or so.

Exactly you should see some sort of collision damage from debris in the surrounding area.
