My truck 2023 EB model. Now has 8,5xx miles, and will be 3 yo in Oct. Meticulously maintained. In spite 5yrs and 50k miles power train warranty, not is guaranteed, so I’m thinking ofFord extended warranty plan. Had that on my F250, worked well.

Yep. What I’m doing.

Sorry to see this. I posted a piece about these rear ended happenstance’s. I was behind a Maverick few weeks ago, and nearly bumped him. What I saw, felt was the narrow distance between rear of cab and tailgate vision gives false distance impression. If one focuses on cab, perception of distance...

WSS-M2C961-A1 vs. WSS-M2C971-A1 Can anyone explain difference between the 961 and 971 in WSS #? I seem to recall reading that 971 full synthetic maybe supersede the 961 specs. Not able to find info, again. My 5W-30 oil of choice is full synthetic and says ford approved WSS-M2C971-A1. And I...

Ride a factor, yes. But more importantly is cabin feel.

Lawyerspeak on something not gonna break? and if it does, tough. LOL!

Last year dealer adding Marvel Mystery oil as special stuff. Not doing it now. They probably Listen cause I said it smells like medicine and maybe they thinking cough syrup.

Prob why Ford does a sample production run of a few vehicles. After inspecting them for any flaws, scrap them. And if any flaws, make revision in programs, hardware, automation.

Regular for a regular guy who drives easy, light on the throttle.

My truck 27 months old, with 8,400 miles. In past did trip from Houston to Florida, trips to Louisiana twice. No complaints. Comfy. Fuel economy was great.

They probably will not. Liability issue. And govt rules/regulations. I Asked once and got No.
