The entire estimate is about 10 pages long; I just posted the summary.

I wouldn't say it's impressive but adequate. Freeway passing takes a little pre-planning but it's not bad at all. I just got back from some corporate training in the Ft. Walton Beach/Destin area. My rental was a 2024 Chevy Malibu with the 1.5L turbo 4 cylinder with only 4k miles. That thing was...

Oof, that sucks. My '23 hybrid was also the victim of hail. We had some severe weather roll through eastern New Mexico/western Texas at the end of May. My poor Maverick was outside at work. The entire driver's side, roof and hood took a beating. It broke the front driver's side window...

When I ordered and purchased my '23 XLT hybrid, I was living in central Florida with a long commute. I now live in eastern New Mexico with a much shorter commute. The FWD on the stock tires did fine during the big winter storm we had here in February. That being said, the only reason I'd want a...

I really wish the AWD hybrid was available when I ordered my '23 XLT hybrid. I'd really love an AWD XLT hybrid with the 4k tow package in Eruption Green but it's probably pushing the upper $30k price range now :sadface:

I dislike these fold up cloth sun shades so I have been using Heatshield sunshades for the past 5 vehicles. Spendy but well made and fit perfectly. And they make shades for all of the windows (including the sunroof). Heatshield Store

I kinda suspected that the oil stream would either overshoot or undershoot the opening for the drain plug. I'm sorry @jerrisn that you were the first to confirm that. It's hard to estimate how the oil will come out in relation to the opening. It certainly looks like there is plenty of room for...

I'm too lazy to repost all of the pictures of my install so I'll just link to my post: My install post I have access to a lift and used a tall screw jack to hold the skid plate in place while I installed the front bolts.

Oh crap, I forgot to post my pics lol While I am impressed with the design and fitment of the skid plate itself, I feel the hardware could have been better executed. But first, I was curious to see how the size and shape of the skid plate compared to the factory plastic bottom engine cover...

I was finally able to get the skid plate installed today. The skid plate itself is great; well made and fits great. However, the included hardware is terrible. I'll update with pics once I get home on wifi.

No I am not a fan of THIS rotary shifter. I have previously owned two Ram 1500s with the rotary shifter which were great. They had more noticable detents and had positive stops once you reached D or P. You could easily determine which gear you were in by counting the detents. Ford did an...

FedEx just dropped off a present: The finish is really nice! It's nicely formed and the welds are nice. This thing is beefy! It weighs over 20lbs. I'll try and get it installed tomorrow morning before work. And yes, I will take plenty of pics lol.

Yes, there is also a lag with the Motorola. It's about 15 seconds or so before Android Auto connects after starting the truck.

Same thing happened to mine, also a little over 2 years old. It seems the wifi died as I can watch it connect to my phone then immediately drop, then connect, then drop etc. Before that it was pretty stable. I had to unplug it a few times but that usually fixed any issues. I paid $99 when I...

Will do. I'll take some comparison photos of the stock under body shield vs the Rival skid plate. The skid plate seems smaller in size and coverage.

Well that's not very encouraging :sadface:. I swear just when you think you have a problem solved with these trucks, they find a way to surprise you.

I'm using the FD-05 kit: https://vaistech.com/product/gsr-fd05-w-tuner-kit/#

I've been using the Vais SiriusXM for a bit over a month now. The kit itself works great however the Ford not-a-real-SYNC is the weak link. Sometimes despite using the SiriusXM input exclusively, the head unit fails to load the input and switches to FM radio. I have to unplug the sat tuner and...

I've only had the Diehard Gold T4 battery installed for about 5 days now, which for my issue, really isn't enough time to tell if fixed the random dead battery. But I discovered something tonight that I haven't encountered before. I got home from work around 2230 (yay shift work), exited the...

I've only had 3 dead battery events but probably a dozen deep sleep events since I picked up my hybrid in April 2023. The first dead battery event happend about 6 months into ownership. I drove 40 miles home on the freeway after work, just like every weekday. The truck was completely dead the...
