First thing I got was mud flaps. Keeping lower part of truck clean.

Rattle? So many…..

He is right. My F250 folding and extended mirrors decided to quit …it’s gearing strip. Checking first replacements revealed high cost. A shop was machining replacement gears and motors at reasonable prices. But the ”how to” to replace them lacking. No guarantee a DIY may accomplish repairs...

Finding it unusual of the many rear end crashes. But could understand it. Once I was following a Mav, it stopped. I had to jump on brakes promptly. What I see is a depth perception when one behind a Mav. Probably cause eyes focus on rear of cab, and not tailgate area. The rear pops up suddenly...

Understand and agree. Many ICE powered vehicles have Cat feature too. Guess not enough.

I have a 23 with dash rattle. Chewing on it slowly. Pretty much tackled the rattle. Now hearing a knock sound. I opened, drive w glove box open. Seems Knick curtailed? I kinda thinking of 26+ model, but for different reason …like the new fuel injection setup. Intake valves get washed...

Perhaps. If one found, junk yard MBAs will look up price in Ford price book, sell for that price.

Thanks. Got it now. It’s like my old F250 with DPF. No joy in having that feature. Got display whenever the DPF being scorched, and truck needs be driver few miles to complete the burn cycle. And burn lil bit more fuel.

Sorry, trying to figure this one…GPF. Meaning?

I thought so, and maybe side to side, shoulder room.

I had considered the Ranger before the Maverick. I preferred rear wheel drive. But took the bet on the Mav. Question to you….do you find the Ranger cabin cramped, compared to the Mav.?

My wife loves leather seats. The Avalanche we had did not have leather, but she had dealer to put in leather. When sales gal pulled the Titanium it had leather. She loved that, and we drove home with it. I am still trying to figure out why. .she loves leather.

Locally, see lots of Escapes. They are popular.

Perhaps down oil sample to ascertain state if the oil, whether if can go further on it. In my case I chose to drive it for ~700 miles, pull sample. Analysis came ack ok, so drovetill 15xx miles, then did oil change with blended variety. Drive with that, and at next change, switched to full...

Granted I never sat in a Bronco Sport, nor she. Maybe it’s just the illusion. I had a 96 Jeep Cherokee and she had trouble with it, ripping her skirt one time trying to step up .

One could try getting oil analysis if questioning conditions of the oil. I’ve had 4 analysis done so far. ALL Motorcraft, both blend and synthetic. Pulled one sample of MC syn after ~2000 miles, it too reveals low viscosity and shear. And this let me understand how engine wear is going, as well...

Wife drives, loves her 17 Escape Titanium. Told her Ford plans to drop the Escape, and if they do, what alternative would she consider, like. She commented many gal friends have Subaru. Because of her knees, not gonna consider any high stepping vehicle, like a Bronco.

Don’t pay to %. Use mileage. Had oil samples + changed3x. 2x w blend. Now on full synthetic and sampled. All blend n synthetic samples revealed low viscosity numbers on Motorcraft. Just did new sample, waiting results.

I do not pay attention to oil life, rather do mileage. Best I could recall 1st sample 1500 miles since new. Then 3k. Change to blend. Run that 5k, sampled. Switched to full synthetic and sampled at 2k. Reesullts shows shearing again. Just sampled at 5k, sent in for results. Just received 6qts...

Good report. But I am focusing on viscosity numbers. The OP should compare the numbers to the oil specifications, or ranges. I’ve use Motorcraft, both blend n synthetic, and my reports suggest shearing.
