I have a tonneau cover so it blocks my view of tailgate; my solution is a simple Yellow ZipTie tucked under the black trim cover at the top of tailgate so it sticks out enough for me to see in my driverside mirror. If I see it, then the tailgate is up. If I can't see it, then I pull over to...
b25crew, what reason did your dealer give you for not honoring the ESP? I assumed that all dealers have to honor it; even though they gouge you on price of ESP if you buy it from your dealer
As I approached a stoplight today, my XLT
Hybrid lost power to radio and dash info for about one second~~~ it was similar to when the power in your house goes out and then comes right back on within a couple of seconds. No other symptoms occurred and made it home safely without any other...
Appears cost goes up each year as you approach the 3year/36,000 mile mark.
Also depends on which ESP level you choose; the first 3 years/36,000 miles are already covered, so if you purchase a 8 year/100,000 plan, in reality you're getting 5 years/64,000 for your money ~~~ so if you buy it at...
Quote from Ford direct thru their toll free phone number in a mailer was way higher than Granger; my dealer won't even call me back after two inquiries ( one in person while having service work done). Definitely a head-scratcher.

Try FasterAutoKeys, text your inquiry to 804-404-3194 located in Virginia, I got an Emergency Lockout Key from them that I keep In a magnetic case hidden under truck. Reasonable & reliable
Mine had 42 miles on it. Can sympathize about your concerns of road salts, especially being a Hybrid having who knows what wiring under body.
So a good rinse may ease your mind. I'm not driving in any snow until we've had a good rain to wash the salt/brine off the roadways.
Just went to post office which is less than 10 miles roundtrip with no hills and 4 Stoplights each way which i caught all but one "green"; noticed mpg on dash said 30mpg after backing into driveway; air temp was @ 35degrees F ; even turned heater off on way home. That same trip in Spring-Fall...
I'm learning alot from everyone's experience and constructive input. This is better than going to the dealer and getting bs answers.
All my recalls are up-to-date ( except backup camera), tires are back to 35psi,
so it appears to be Mother Nature; hey, it's January , so mpg will improve in...
