When this forum was first started (in the olden days), the fact that drivers could not change the default drive mode setting was a huge topic. It was such an
issue that someone invented and sold a device (for about $60) allowing drivers to set their own preferred default drive mode. When
the...
If you are experiencing issues (especially connection issues) using the front USB ports, replacement is the best solution. I've almost always
had issues with my wireless Android Auto adaptor from the beginning. From slow start up to disconnects (hitting a bump while driving). I believe that...
I decided to join the crowd and change my battery charge setting using Forscan. It's been a while since I've used Forscan so I was surprised when I after I connected to my Maverick, I couldn't find the BCM module. Neither "as built" or "easy mode". There was a BCM_(?) (I forget the letter)...
In consideration of changing from a 2023 Lariat to a 2025 lariat I came up with this chart of my personal assessment of the differences between the two versions and do they justify +$10k.
Are there any differences I've missed and feel free to offer opinions of change "values".

PRO OR CON...
I have 55,000 miles on my 2023 Lariat Hybrid. I just had my first repair done. It was the front left CV axle. I slowly began to notice a front-end vibration at certain speeds. I assumed it was simply out of balanced wheels (I had installed my snow tires about a month earlier) but it was...
I have successfully used Forscan 2-3 times but I am by no means an expert. Maybe someone can answer two questions.
1. I keep seeing people referring to "Easy Mode". What is "easy mode"? On the verison I have don't see any mode selection
or any mention of "easy mode".
2. What is meant by...
Fyi. When a Ford Customer Service Rep replies on a thread involving a problem with, "Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this on my end.", you should lower your expectations! This Ford Rep will ask you to send a great amount of information about...
I recently installed the X-Ice snow tires and they already saved me money. While driving during our first snow storm this season, the driver in front of me stopped suddenly to avoid a deer. Traction control was on and I was in "slippery" mode. I really don't think I would have been able to...
About a week ago I began experiencing a lot of glitches with Sync 3. On the Ford Sync website, I learned that there was a build update
available from 22251 (year 2022 on the 251st day of the year) to 23188 (year 2023 on the 188th day of the year).

Sometimes simple goals turn into nightmares. I wanted to upgrade the 3rd brake, cargo and reverse bulbs to brighter LED bulbs. After a great deal of research, I ordered five "GTR" bulbs from a distributor named Headlight Revolution at a cost of $161.00 with free shipping. Upon ttempting to...
In deciding which Bug Shield to purchase my requirement were:
- No tape. Shield needed to be attached with hardware.
- No drilling. Hardware holes had to align with existing holes on hood.
I decided on the " EGR Matte Black Superguard Bug Shield" which I purchased from Real Truck. I would...
It amazes me that so many people on this forum label any type of criticism as unacceptable negative comments. If you post pictures to show off some modifications you have made, don't expect only loving, raving compliments. Some people may not like your modifications and may wish to express...
I purchased the Bakflip from Real Truck. After installing, I discovered water leaks everywhere. I contacted Real Truck and followed
their suggestions to solve the problem. After trying various solutions, I came to the realization that I was an idiot to spend hours trying to
fix an item that I...
