I routinely get mid 30s on the highway with larger 30" tires but I keep my speed right around 65. In my experience anything over 70 and my mileage drops drastically as efficiency losses are exponential due to drag.
Ecoboost motors specifically have widespread issues with low speed pre-ignition and accelerated timing chain guide wear, that spec specifically addresses both of those problems which is why Ford requires it. I really don't care what other people do but preaching here like that spec doesn't...
Just have it repaired, I hit a gnarly pot hole once and bent a rim and brought it to a wheel repair shop, got it back the same day and it looked brand new for about $100
Your tracker goes to "In production" when your order is sent to the plant. That doesn't mean it's actually being produced, just that they are coordinating for the production of your vehicle. It's pretty standard for it to move to "in production" anywhere from a week to two weeks ahead of your...
Because when you leave out of the driver's side door and use the door handle to open the door you're brushing against the lock when you pull the handle and locking it. To clarify I'm not saying you're hitting the power door lock button, I'm saying you're hitting the actual door lock which is...
Nice to see the wheel close up, I remember having a heated discussion with a member a while back who claimed these were still machine faced wheels. While yes, they are technically the same as the Lariat machine face wheels, these are the same minus the process of actually machining the face. You...
Second this, Mike was excellent, kept his word about everything, was helpful when I requested info and often emailed me unprovoked to let me know what was going on. Honored X-plan pricing along with veteran rebate and they weren't pushy about any extras.
So why wouldn't that be a possible cause? I have my Maverick setup to only unlock the driver's door when I turn off the ignition so I wouldn't know otherwise but I still think this is more user error combined with poor ergonomic design by Ford.
I've had this happen a couple of times but I was aware of it happening. My finger brushed against the door lock when I pulled the inner door handle open to open the door. It's very subtle and easy to overlook but IMHO it's a poor design on Ford's part. I have large hands and wear a 2xl glove so...
@Maverick2022XL just FYI it's all about the correct gauge cluster. Hill descent control confirmed working on my 2022 XL awd. All I had to do was to load the correct as built data (from a 2022 XLT with FX4 and all the same options I have) and then turn Hill descent control on in the IPC config...
The viscosity breakdown is concerning to me, this will be exacerbated in summer months. Flashpoint is great but your driving conditions and habits seem to keep your fuel dilution to a minimum which is what really affects the flash point.
Part of successfully navigating life properly is being an informed consumer no matter what you're purchasing. Add in the fact that even the shortest wait time is about 3-4 months that gives plenty of time to prepare and research everything possible to include forums.
So your job is your priority, nothing wrong with that. A year from now the economy could take a nose dive and these things even in hybrid form may accumulate. I like to think things happen for a reason.
Sucks and while elder Ford is definitely scum, based on things that have happened over and over it was your mistake for doing anything other than showing up the day it arrived and if needed using their financing and then refinancing with your credit union. These dealers are unscrupulous but at...
