We financed my wife's Chevy because of the 0% interest. It makes more financial sense to keep your money and earn the interest yourself although I had this conversation with my financial adviser as we are downsizing our home and paying off the mortgage. I have 2 years left at 1.7% so I wondered...

Congrats, it's always a good feeling to pay your vehicle loan off! If you can afford to, keep putting the payment amount into an account to use on your next vehicle. The only thing better than paying the loan off is buying a vehicle with cash.

You're lucky you're not in Canada as it is Ford Canada's SOP is to only communicate with the dealer. You can call Ford Customer Service and get info using the Sales & Order Code and you can track the build once you get a VIN from the dealer, but you get no correspondences from FORD directly...

You might want to check with the dealer. They may just put it on for you during the dealer prep.

I remember looking at Google images of the rail ramp knowing my truck was there… only to find out it had been routed to a yard in a different city (more likely the destination numbers I googled were incorrectly attributed to the wrong ramp) but about the same distance from my dealership. Knowing...

Exactly 1 month in transit from the plant to Dealer in British Columbia (major urban area). Edit: Disclaimer - I did not check to see if there was a leap year in the calculations. :LOL:

After reading the thread, I have to say I am a little disappointed as I was expecting it to be about Seattle grunge music... I am a few months away from 61 and I am fairly happy with the B&O system. It sounded like crap when I first drove it off the lot (coming from an stock 8 speaker system in...

Well you could search the group for threads on this subject and see that for many investing in an AGM battery has solved the issue. Also note battery issues are plaguing many of the manufactures these days due to the all the tech involved. I said I keep a jump pack in the truck but I have not...

The High Voltage battery is under the truck. Having the truck go into battery saver mode is something many of us are enduring. I keep a jump pack under the seat just in case. Some choose to let Ford lead them through a dance of re-charge and return until the battery degrades enough for them to...

Incase you maybe don’t know… the “front battery” is under the back seat. You do have jump pins under the hood, but no physical 12v battery unlike the EcoBoost!

Maybe I should have explained the warm up part a little better. I don't sit in the truck waiting for the engine to warm up. I drive off immediately, but generally the ice fires up somewhere before the first stop sign (or pulling on to the main road from that stop sign) and runs for a minute or...

Is anyone else experiencing this? Often when I open the app the initial screen (picture) does not slide away but if I slightly pull up on the app like I am going to go to the app switching mode and release so the app stays open then the app will open. It has been doing this so long I can’t...

I know it's not scientific but looking at the Transport Canada Recall site and quickly categorizing the recalls by EcoBoost and Hybrid (ignoring trim levels) this is what I found. Note this does not include things Ford fixed that were never classified as safety issues by Transport Canada.

I have a 24 Hybrid and I have only had one recall for the brake light...

I am curious… I am able to squeeze under the 600 mile / tank between most fills but some are doing even better. Where I live it is fairly hilly and my 15-20 minute commute is down then up from home to work and back again so any gains going down or on the flats are pretty much lost going back up...

I paid my last car off fairly quickly 15 years ago so I kept saving. This time around I had enough to pay cash... I was originally concerned they would not do a cash sale after hearing about some dealers refusing cash purchases, but thankfully the dealer i went to does not play games. The best...

"Missed it by that much" - 599.37. I have come to the conclusion that I either have to stop obsessing over squeezing as many kilometers on battery as I can and just enjoy driving my truck or leave my wife... every time I have her in the truck she is playing with the AC and/or Heat. With winter...

Mattress and box spring to the dump! I figured since I now have a truck with a bigger box than my utility trailer I might as well sell the trailer… It was hard to let it go (I bought it in the 80’s and it has been across the US twice), but it went to a young couple who are going to fix I up and...

Once in a while I check the code scanner tab in the OBD Fusion app I run in CarPlay and it found a pending code but it cleared about a week later without triggering the check engine light. Heat exchanger I assume. Sounds like it is common? Hopefully it was just a one off glitch.

I think I am a little confused... 1st. if by EV battery/ hybrid battery you mean the High Voltage battery then this is normal as the battery will fluctuate between approx. 28% - 72% depending on many factors (ICE running, regen braking and electric motor use). Where the SOC is when you park it...
