Had it on my outback before the Mav and I find the mavs system better and more fluid. even more so with the lane centering.
It's like any other tool, use it in the wrong situation and it's meh but in the right situation or drive its spectacular.
They're are also a new bridge between the extremes of a AT. Falken also makes the wildpeak trail which is specifically designed for crossovers to have that AT bite but with good road manners. Yokohama geolander and the toyo at3 in certain ratings would fall into that bracket.
No on alot of levels. Acc requires a radar mounted on the grill. For hybrids that is the main item along with wiring and programming needed. For non lariat LUX EB you are missing the electronic brake booster as well. Some folks have already fitted it up on lower models. It's very much doable but...
It's stories like this that make me laugh when people say ford doesn't communicate enough. Price protection has been around before the maverick and dealers STILL....STILL can't do their effing job right. I feel for the op and anyone else who's dealers fucked them. I thank my lucky stars I got a...
I manual swapped my 03' f350 CCLB with the 6R to a ZF6. Not bad at all for most things but the reverse was geared wayyy to high especially with a load and a dual disk sucked balls in traffic.
Oddly enough I never had a trans issue on this truck. Glow plugs and cold starting absolutely along with CPS and fuel bowl heater shorts. Outside of that it purred like a kitten.
I plan on picking one up soon myself. Going to use my fordpass points towards the purchase and knock a couple hundred off. 6yr 100k at 100$ deduct is a pretty great deal and covers the life of my original loan.
If you have auto just set it to a relatively cool number. I generally have mine between 70-74 and hardly ever need to touch anything. Maybe fan speed from 3 to 2.
Yea I never really understood the hate on that. If you needed any lower gearing than what the 8 spd gives you, you are probably going into something way out of league.
My hesitation comes from greater force of impact in a scenario like I posted with the BS. I could see a longer wheel base helping with rolling backwards but when three wheeling and the eventual tipping point comes a longer wheel base will have the tipping ends drop and lower at great velocity...
