Wow, great write up and sounds like a lot of fun! Don't let the Tremor owners know.. :crackup:

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing that info. I have replaced bumpers on other vehicles and even hung doors so I do have some experience. Are you able to DM me the service manual info you have? I’d like to plan it out before I start taking things apart.

I hope this is the right section to ask, but has anyone here removed or replaced a front fender? It seems pretty straightforward....unclipping the wheel liner and part of the side skirt. The fender itself appears to be bolted on. However, I’m concerned about any potential crash sensors I should...

I’m more jealous about the intelligent access and push button start in the XLT.

I easily get over 40+ MPG in town and under 50mph or so. Any highway or interstate driving heavily effects this. If I take any trips or do at least 40% highway driving per fill up, my MPG dips down to 37-38. I like "Eco" mode in town and "normal" mode on the highway/interstate. "Slippery" gets...

From everything I’ve read Costco, Amazon, and Supertech are all the same oil made by Warren. People have even done oil analysis on the new oil and the additive packages are the same.

Supertech Full Synthetic is good stuff. I've used it in my daily drivers for years along with the manufacturers oil filters. Use a high quality filter and keep to a regular oil change interval and you should be fine.

Kirkland, Amazon, and Super Tech all seem to be the same oil made by Warren Distributors. They all have good reviews and meet Ford's standards.

This seems to be more of an issue with certain manufacturers and not all PHEV. Some of these manufactures (like BMW) have taken engineering shortcuts to be able to quickly create a PHEV version of a regular vehicle and have been caught not living up to their claimed emissions.

I think Ford recommends 7-10k miles. I ended up doing mine at just over 6k miles, mainly because I was getting close to 6 months. I was at about 20% oil life according to the oil life monitor. IMO every 5-7k miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

This is already a budget vehicle and that is very evident in the build quality and materials. Without the luxury package it would be an absolute penalty box.

Looks great with those Ford Edge wheels!

This is awesome! Has anyone tried this app with a hybrid?

That's interesting....I haven't seen any issues. Slippery mode in the hybrid seems to just decrease the regen while coasting which makes a huge difference on the highway. I did a quick search and someone did post a bulletin warning about slippery mode but it seemed to apply to vehicles with...

I've just made it a habit now that when I get on the interstate to put my hybrid into "slippery" mode. It seems to get the MPG when you're cruising at 65+ for extended periods of time.

Sidenote.. It will be interesting to see how the Silverado/Sierra PHEV develops.

A couple things here to just clarify for future readers. 1. ""Off road" is a pretty broad term. It could quite literally mean "not on a paved road" or on a rutty muddy trail. 2. The Hybrid powertrain has a computer controlled ECVT that is capable of providing some limited slip characteristics...

I'm getting mid 40s mpg consistently. I do probably 70% city, 30% highway. I would say I drive "normal". I'm not driving like an old lady but I'm also not launching off the line at every light. I have noticed slightly lower MPG since it's gotten colder here in FL.

I've noticed the same thing.

I've had my truck for less than two weeks. I started noticing this lately but only in the morning when it's a little cooler. My only thought is that it's some sort of high idle state the engine goes into with cooler temperature until it's warmed up.
