Thats on the list as one of the first things I will do when mine comes in. I can't believe they're still using the corrosion prone two piece design. I immediately switch our new vehicles out for solid one piece lug nuts because being stuck on the side of the road not being able to change...
Im not sure how easy it is to drain and fill the fluid in one but I'd say frequent fluid changes would be the key to long life especially in a CVT type trans. I would never stick to the manufacturer recommendation of "lifetime fluid" in things like transmissions and PTU/AWD units if you plan...
Has anyone created a measurement guide or similar for cutting pieces of sound deadening material to cover the bare back wall behind the rear seats? I think that may be one of the first things I consider doing whenever mine comes in later this year. Thanks.
Thats a great/clean look I think.
Before my dad retired from a career at a power plant he would sometimes bring home some rolls of used coal conveyor belt after they'd replace them to use on our property when I was young. They would either give them away or probably somehow recycle or trash...
I had two 2003 Ranger 4.0s over a period of time. The 2wd I got new I lowered, did a bunch of mods to and it looked good. Later on I ended up with a 4x4 FX4 one ironically both the same color. Both were great and tough....loved the 4.0 SOHC in both but the MPG was bad. I remember the...
While its not a true ceramic coating I like the Turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray bottle. More of a ceramic/carnauba mix You can find it at Walmart. Its easy to use and holds up well. My favorite thing about things like that is using it on the textured black plastics and things...
Yea, I like colors like that....Especially with metallics in them. My wife's 2020 Escape is the dark Persian green....it is similar. In different light when its clean it is blue, green, all kinda of different shades. Really attractive color. Glad I chose the Alto blue for the maverick order.
Whenever mine comes in I will probably not trade in but sell (maybe carvana or similar) the 2016 Ford Escape SE I have. Its super low miles, currently 27K and is very optioned out for an SE. Until recently I had a work provided vehicle previously so after I bought it in 2018 with 16K it...
Looks great! I am a detailing dork with my vehicles. After some debate on colors we arrived at the alto blue....have an order in. I'm glad I chose that color.
I didn't figure they would but I'm fairly savvy at modding stuff/retrofitting. If not I'll just wait for a wrecked lariat to show up in one of the local salvage yards and grab one out of a wrecked Maverick. That mirror you got does look nice though!
Thanks. Ill check it out. I still the original sun visor from my Escape. I'll put it back in and save the button one before I either trade it in or sell it once the Maverick arrives.
I took my last work provided vehicle (a base model 2018 Escape) through a car wash once and all its black plastic door handles did something similar. Something to do with the chemicals they use or something and they must have had a bad batch. I'd say its related to the stuff the dealer put...
Ive seen a handful of XLs around here on the road, maybe 3-4 max. No XLTs or Lariats yet. I work next door to a Ford dealer and have seen a couple XLTs on the lot and one lariat back in the area where the delivery truck drops them but they don't last long. Gone within a day or two...
Yep. Understood. Not the same world anymore by any means. I know the games and add on things they try to put on at the end. Not interested in any of them. Don't forget about the fabric protection, lifetime blinker fluid refills, and power steering fluid flushes in an electrically...
If that happens I'll just walk away. I don't necessarily need a new vehicle at this time just want one. I'm not holding my breath either way but I did have a discussion with them stating I would not accept any markups. Its a good dealership so hopefully they uphold their previous good...
I actually got an order in yesterday morning. I ended up deciding on the 2.0 eb (thats what I really wanted anyway) and switched my color to Alto Blue. Order number is in but not sure when I can expect the VIN. I am prepared to wait and know its inevitable. XLT FWD with luxury pkg and...
Ill keep an eye out on the salvage yard listings for a wrecked Lariat with this option and get one of the sun visors equipped. Just got my order in last minute for my Maverick before the cutoff so obviously I'll have plenty of time before it arrives to look for the part.
