Recalibration is possible with a $20 OBDII cable and a Windows laptop with Forscan. Takes about 2 minutes of driving down a road with lane markings on both sides.
Stealership will charge a couple hundred.
If you're doing it yourself, make sure you keep an eye on the transmission fluid temp. I believe it should be between 185-200 F before putting the drain plug back on.
I believe they're called torque-to-yield/stretch bolts. They create a predictable clamping force. Once they're stretched, they're no longer usable.
I would assume that Ford wouldn't spec them if they didn't see the benefits from a performance/cost perspective. But I am not an engineer. 😁
I would first make sure you have a way to activate that modem for your specific vehicle. Which means that likely needs to be done by a Ford dealer. Which they may or may not do if you didn't buy the part from them.
I guess doing oil changes, transmission fluid changes, PTU fluid changes, RDU fluid changes, AND changing one of those felt panels (that I ripped off road) makes me not know anything about what's on the underside. 😉
Depends on how rutted the road is. Ground clearance would be your biggest potential issue.
Unlike your Ranger, all the wiring and fuel line is not tucked up in the frame. They're only "protected" by felt.
The windshield alignment pin issue sounded more like ticking. Got worse with lower temps.
The rumble over rough roads sounds like plastic rubbing on plastic. For me, pulling the black driver side windshield defroster vent fixes it but the TSB has not.
I believe that's just the data plan via AT&T for the builtin navigation, streaming, hotspot, etc.
Android Auto and Carplay are separate and you'll still have access.
Probably. Get Forscan for your phone or computer.
There's some data in that for sure. Bottom of the first page here mentions it for an F-150.

Most dealers will order them from one of Ford's regional warehouses, then ship parts to you. I'd just go with whatever option ends up being cheaper, but make sure you compare after shipping...that varies a lot.
1. To low-ball you on your trade.
2. To sell you another car - again.
3. To profit off of manufacturer incentives - again.
4. To profit off of selling you a loan/oil changes/etc.
Pull on the black windshield defrost vent on the driver side. That stops it on mine. I've found no real fix for my 22, even with doing the TSB myself.
Ford support is just gaslighting you. It's not the high pressure fuel pump they're alluding to.
The Maverick business model is different:
1. Announce a 20k hybrid truck. Make very little of it.
2. Have high trim buyers subsidize the XLs. Keep the build quality of the Lariat, Tremor, and Lobo the same while providing tacked-on accessories to drive margin.
3. Hike prices for the 2025...
