I have yet to meet a dealer that will not accept a credit card as payment for portion of the balance due. My dealer was ok with me putting $10k on my AMEX because I offered to buy the Ford warranty as part of the deal. They were very competitive with Flood's warranty pricing and I earned 110k...
I cannot speak to the Ford credit card but my dealer let me put $10k down with my AMEX when I had a spend bonus to hit. It was promptly paid off as soon as it posted and my wife and I enjoyed several award flights to Europe later that year as a result. Ask your dealer how much they will allow...
Like most reward cards, the sign up bonus is a legitimate offer if you satisfy the spend requirements.
Before applying you should first ask yourself what actual benefit the Ford points will provide you and do you have a plan in place to fully take advantage of those points once earned?

We added a 10 year premium care extended warranty at the time of purchase. We tend to keep our vehicles 15+ years. Will it be money wasted or money well spent? Only time will tell. Stay tuned.
Over the last week my daily trip mpg had been declining from 50+ mpg down to low 30s. On Tuesday night there was a mild shudder in the drivetrain immediately followed by the MIL turning on. I keep a scan tool in my glovebox and pulled codes P2C22 and P237D.

The Maverick has increased in price each model year since release. Assuming the agreed sale price was MSRP less any applicable rebates and price protections, walking away benefits the dealer far more than finalizing the purchase and leaving a bad survey after the sale. The bad survey is the sole...
The hybrid 2.5L is an Atkinson cycle engine.
Personally, I would rely on the 2023 RV & Trailer Towing Guide:

I owned an EcoBoost Lariat with 4k tow. I now have the Lariat Hybrid.
Both are fantastic options. I miss the power of the EcoBoost but overall I am more satisfied with the hybrid. I now fill up my tank once a month and still manage all my errands.
The extra power and the AWD were nice perks...
On the road at the moment so forgive me if you have already received your answer.

You have to press the "OK" button on your steering wheel with "Driver Assistance " or "Vehicle" menu highlighted to access the sub menus you want.

Clean install. I used two cans identical to yours on one of my old DSM tuner cars which worked well. I had also added some steel wool inside the can.
The location where you installed your can should help to reduce oil in your intercooler but will be no help in preventing buildup on your valves...
This is the same experience I had with my wife's 2017 Escape. The 2022 update should be available sometime around September of this year and will be free to download. You may purchase a USB drive if you cannot download.

Save yourself a lot of heartache and bring your trade to your local CarMax for a valuation. Follow up with appraisals from online retailers like Carvana, Vroom etc. Take the average value from them and compare it against your expectations. The numbers you receive are likely going to be lower...

My recent commute home:
I miss the power of the EcoBoost but I'm now filling my tank about once a month vs once a week. The hybrid offers amazing value for the price and I have...
