Yep! I've used both almost exclusively for almost 10 years on my old Accord and current Maverick. Good oil, good price. I pay $8 for the Motorcraft filter and I'm out the door for $30 in materials.

Amsoil 5w-30 synthetic 1 quart: $16 Wally World Super Tech 5w-30 synthetic 5 quarts: $18 Hmmm... 😉 I'm keeping it cheap.

Motor or transmission mount likely. I'm pretty sure mine are shot because I dropped the front end into a gravel road water bar going quite fast with heavy tires. 😁

Depends on what those gravel roads look like...if you drag the bottom of the truck or drop it in a hole/on a rock, you run the risk of damaging something in the engine bay, the evap canister, or damaging the hybrid battery. If the roads are tame, you'll be fine.

Yes. 2022. Haven't done anything.

That's my thought too.

Check after 10-15 minutes. I'd run it like this either way.

Me stomping on the accelerator with my EcoBoost to hear the cute lil turbo noises:

That sensor is my guess too. Stop by a local auto parts store and ask them to pull the codes then post here.

I'm a fan of the 1Up options. They're expensive and heavy, though, so you'd be very close to the tongue weight.

The turbo has oil and coolant going to it. I've only idled the truck once to get it to cool off: when I was seriously hauling ass climbing a forest service road in 100-degree weather with the AC working. I'm personally not worried about the EcoBoost reliability at all. The transmission, on the...

I wouldn't worry about it yet. The shifting on modern transmissions can be "interesting" to say the least. That being said, I think it's the weakest point of the EB builds because I love the EcoBoost.

The shop does nothing outside of initializing the self learn on the truck and driving it exactly like I have described. On the liability, yes, I assume many shops will require it to limit their liability and also charge you or your insurance company $300 for 5 minutes of work.

This doesn't apply to you because you had a deductible, but that camera recalibration takes a $20 OBD2 scanner, a Windows laptop with Forscan, and a 1 minute drive on a road with lane stripes on both sides. Just sharing for anyone else that might wanna save money in the future.

Report it to NHTSA if you think there's a problem. While they're cheap and pit easily, I highly doubt you'll get anywhere.

The 40k trucks sold today have the same build quality as the ones sold for 20k in 2022. Do with that what you will. 😎 If you go with the Maverick, I would personally go hybrid. That's the true value of these these things.

The dealer owner wants that fifth boat.

The truck needs a lot of power for the electric power steering and it thinks you're wanting to move.

About 1000 miles before I got tired of sliding around on the Pirellis.

Imo, the inverters are quite poor in terms of reliability and capability. They're modified sine wave inverters and lots of electronics don't like that. Anyway, it looks like used ones are $200-300 on eBay if you want to change yours out. There are many much, much better inverters for that...
