The treadwear indicators are almost showing. I figured out the proration and the amount worked out to about 60% and I would have to pay shipping. After all that, I would have a set of new tires on my truck I really don't care for. The juice was not worth the squeeze.
I am getting a set of...
I have rotated them.
I checked the warranty and from Continental it is 55K on the ProContactTX. Their formula is subtract your mileage from the warrantied mileage. In my case it's 55K -22.5K = 32500. Take that and 32550 / 55000 = .60% (59.5%) of the warranty left. So they will give me...
My 2023 XL hybrid came with the stock factory Continental 225/65/17. I have 22.5 K and the tires are pretty bald. I was curious and asked my Ford dealer if there was a warranty. He said not through Ford but take it to a tire shop that sells Continental and they could pro-fate the tires.

I am curious what grill light options people have done with the standard XL grill. I am particular interested in no drill options. I have a 2023 XL with the standard grill. Thanks.
This is Ford's official word on this.

In response to why does it matter what kind of sticker is on the truck, I am reminded of the Van Halen brown M&Ms demand. I was reading a biography on Eddie Van Halen and someone in the book addressed this.
Eddie Van Halen was obsessed with putting on a good show. Their contracts had numerous...
Two weeks ago I ran over a nail and had to use my spare. Very glad I got the full size spare option. I found a flat, safe location and set about changing the tire. I have had my 2023 XL for over a year and this was the first time I really looked at the jack. The sticker on the jack is fairly...
Can I ask how big your phone is?
I have an iPhone 13 and the first curve I took it was on the floor. I am going to try a remount. Thank God it has extra stickers.
The harness was probably a good option. The most time consuming thing was removing the cloth electrical tape, running the wires through the existing harness and taping it back up. I wanted to be very careful not to damage the insulation on the existing wires.

The sales manager at Heritage Ford said he actually had inventory on many Fords, but one.
“I’m hopeful that the inventory will stay around this,” he said. “I...
A little trick. You can get power mirrors on the XL. If you order the co-Pilot 360 it brings power mirrors because to have the blind spot warning light the mirrors have to be powered.
This is the link for the connector.

The video I linked to, indicates these plugs are used for many things on Ford and Lincoln vehicles. I heard several vehicles use the same plug for the windshield washer motor. If you have access to a junk yard, you...
When I bought my XL, I didn't think not having a power unlocking tailgate would be such a nuisance. However, having to shut off the truck to use the key to unlock it was becoming an issue. Like when it was very dark trying to find the keyhole was a pain.
I watched this video:
And with...
I have had my 2023 Maverick XL for about 11 months. A few weeks ago they had to do 2 software updates. One was to fix an emissions issue and the other was a recall for the tail lights. Today my Ford app showed notification. I got the 3:42 PM saying my truck had entered Deep Sleep mode...
