I remember keeping a door key in my wallet for my no keypad '92 Ranger for just in case.

I bet that was handy.

I read that. I'm just saying that I don't worry about engine knock or peak horsepower during normal driving in the flat terrain of Sacramento. If I tow I will go with premium fuel. The owners manual says that you can use 87 octane fuel so I don't have a problem using it under less demanding...

I voted being indifferent about it. I have the keypad on my 2002 Explorer and never used it in 15 years. I did test it a couple of months ago to see if it still worked after years of not using it and it still works! I did use the keypad on my moms 2000 Taurus once when she locked her keys in...

I wonder what Ford means by gaining performance when using premium fuel? Higher peak horsepower or higher fuel mileage? I'm guessing it's about horsepower. That shouldn't be a big factor driving around town on flat terrain with no heavy cargo or not towing a trailer.

No need for the $100 hitch if you order the 4k tow package.

Azure Gray Tri-Coat for $495. A lot better than the $1000 some said it would cost.

I imagine that you could use a replacement plug from a hardware store to wire into the new inverter. I'm still not sure if you will have problems with the onboard computers if you disconnect the existing hardware and install something different. These new vehicles tie things together with BCM's...

Not sure if there's room were the OE one is. It's located in the center console. BCM may have a problem doing a swap. I'm locating mine behind the rear seat.

FX4, 4K Tow, "Full" size spare.

This video explains how using the in car modified sine wave inverter, which is what the Maverick uses, will not work to charge a power station.. A pure sine wave inverter must be used. Add that to the list of things you can't use the Maverick 110v outlet for. I once smoked a power tool charger...

That looks more like an impact mark to me and not a "burn". Calling it a burn mark is giving them an excuse.

That's what I installed on my truck. Along with a Ford bed mat.

Is there a 90 MPH speed limit or does LE not ticket that speed?

If you have to ask forum members if you can fix this yourself then the answer is no. That leaves you with bringing it back to the dealer and have them fix their screw up or paying a shop to fix it.

Warped rotors are from excessive heat. Sticking calipers or hard use.

Makes sense. Removing battery power cutoff more than what the IPC fuse would do. PCM/BCM/APIM, ect?

If you put $24,370 in 2003 into an inflation calculator you get a today's cost of $40,280. Something to think about. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

Velocity Blue was 2022 only and was replaced by Atlas Blue in 2023.

Interesting. I live in super environmentally correct California and I get a pass on smog checks for eight years for a new vehicle. I just have to give the state an annual "abatement" fee. I would look at your states lemon law and see if you can get a buy back. There's no reason for you to keep...
