My wife had a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird when we got married. Took a rear-end hit that left little visible damage... but there was a small wrinkle in the roof. I asked the inspector why it was being totaled and he showed me several spot welds that had been popped loose in the trunk. If those were...

'22 EB/4K/FX4 - Pushing 55K miles. No major issues, just a couple small ones like the spring like rattle in the left pillar when I hit a bump and occasional infotainment lockups that the camera update did not fix. Looking at brakes and tires towards winter. Still loving my truck.

I had the camera update done on my '22 Eco. No camera freezes since. BUT.... I have had a couple occasions where the head unit itself (main screen infotainment system) has frozen and I had no control. Everything was frozen. Unfortunately, I have not been in a situation where I could try putting...

I think the lock criteria changes depending on if you have keyed or push button start. I can lock my keys in the truck - no issue. Since the pushbutton looks for a signal from the FOB that might not work the same.

I personally was not ready for a Hybrid so I have the Ecoboost 2.0. High 20's around town and 33-35 on long trips (between NY and FL) with a bed full of stuff.

It isn't only that. I care, but I can tell you my daily commute is mostly stop signs. I stop, engine shuts off, restarts, and I drive away just as fast as you read that. Completely useless and very annoying. I would have no issue at all if the ASS was able to be set to off as a default. When I...

I'm going to go on a guess here, but I'm thinking no. My '22 has the 4K package and it's a bit more than just adding a bobble or two. The package includes trailer brake management, A slightly different differential ratio, Transmission cooler, ect... Yes, anything can be done, but the cost might...

As for me, I would not want to. We use Waze for traffic updates and I let the co-pilot manage the screen while I drive and visa-versa.

I like it, but I'll be honest and say I think a 5.0L with a similar exhaust... My neighbors wouldn't appreciate it, but I think they could get used to it. People get used to living by train tracks, right?

My typical drive includes several stop signs and literally I stop, the engine shuts off, restarts and I drive away just as fast as you read that. ASS needs to be a driver defaultable OFF setting. Shouldn't even need to spend the $17 or buy the equipment to use Forscan.

Funny thing about those 289's. Dimensionally they are the same as the 302 (5.0L). My dad and I put one in a 1974 Mazda RX4 and ended up with the most awesome death trap I ever drove... for a very short time. We got rid of it before one of us wrecked it and got k!lled. Anything can be done, but...

My '22 XLT has the same and everything seems to work. Currently using the USB to host a wireless Android Auto dongle. Seems to work just fine.

My RV has dual tires on the rear and I installed 4 8 ply tires when I had to replace them. took a lot of the sway out. Much better driving experience. Followed the same thought when replacing the tires on my 2012 Escape and bought Yokohama Geolanders. Slightly stiffer side wall and a great tire...

Doesn't the 4K push the bed load to 2000 lbs? That was my understanding. 1 ton load or 2 ton via the hitch.

In my mind, yes. Just like typical 4X4 use. use 2X4 until you get stuck, then 4X4 to get out.

Power + Skip forward actually forces a restart of the infotainment system (power cycle). FWIW, mine had the updates and I still get system freezes that require the reset. Have not had it happen with the camera active yet. NHTSA will not care about system lockups unless the camera is active at...

I originally wanted the Cyber Orange and was set to order it. Then I heard my wife tell a friend how nice it will be to be able to find HER truck in the parking lot. Came across a used truck that checked most of my want list in Carbonized Grey and liked it. Best part about that color is MY truck...

I have the FX4 package and I would welcome the opportunity to "test" my truck, especially if I'm going with other 4X4 vehicles. Not sure I would turn off traction control. Mine has served me well in mud and on ice. Would I go solo? Nope. I would get a couple sets of straps though. They're...

Not entirely true. According to NHTSA-2016-0125-0001 , it is illegal to disable or remove the VESS on a hybrid vehicle. There may be some very limited rules to disabling it, but the vehicle would no longer comply to the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act and would be found to be illegal for road...

Had the same happen with a 1972 Chevy half-ton heavy duty longbed pickup... Except the cat crawled into the fan shroud between the radiator and the fan... Only 1 way out and it tried. We thought it was done for as bad as it got beat up. Next day it was running around and licking it's wounds. We...
