@fordvideoguy Is the GPF covered under the 8 year / 80K mile emissions warranty? These newer technologies get very expensive very quickly when they fail.

The photo shows a bad weld. Usually a local welding shop will sneak in little repair jobs like this for beer money and you will end up with a stronger piece when you are done.

Yes, exactly what the world needs, exhaust filters... I want 1997 back.

The dealers in my area all prefer to sit on their aging new cars rather than sell them at any discount at all. For instance, I have had my eye on a 2024 Mav that has been on the lot for 8 months and they wont budge further than the Ford offer of $1K off the $36K price. They have 6 other 2024s...

A warning would have most likely prevented a repeat "offense", and as everyone survived intact, would have been reasonable. I guess the better option would have been to take the lady to Buccees and abandon the disabled car in the middle of the highway? Noted for next time.

After WW2 and during the early Cold War, the US was the world's manufacturing and technology powerhouse. We needed (or wanted) to extend our influence to every corner of the world and I believe that these tariffs were tolerated to economically benefit countries that helped us out with military...

People say that manufacturing cars here is too expensive, yet many foreign manufacturers have plants here and sell their vehicles at competitive prices. Subaru just moved most of their production here and their MSRPs did not increase noticeably. I am old enough to know nobody can predict the...

There is more to having manufacturing capacity in the US than jobs. If the US ever gets involved in a protracted war, we will need to quickly replace our destroyed war machines and it wont matter if they are built by humans or robots. If we have no manufacturing, then we cannot politically...

When Ukraine started, I had an elaborate plan to hoard Wheat Thins and sell them later at a huge profit. Glad I didn't go forward with that one. I am hoping that Trump is merely trying to spur action in US manufacturers, there will be some way to appease him and the Tariffs get suspended, even...

Good thing I never advocated that...

Huh?

If this becomes a permanent situation, Ford could drop the MAV back to introduction pricing, minimizing the tax hit at the border and let the customer and dealer work out the final price after tariffs and market adjustments. It is one way to shift blame to the government and the dealers, and...

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the premise, but... A nebulous threat of possible, maybe future tariffs doesn't inspire action. 25% tariffs starting today does. I can guarantee there are Ford executives and manufacturing engineers visiting shuttered US factories today and devising a...

A brass shower curtain ring where the front license plate mounts would complete the look.

My experience leads me to believe most dealers have a barrel of 5W-30 in the shop and everything gets filled with that. The service manager buys whatever is cheapest because 99% of customers don't know the difference or care at all. The quality difference may lead to getting 170K out of engine...

My local Goodyear has a decent reputation and does an oil change for $20 if I bring the oil and filter. I can't watch them do it, so my $30 jug of Pennzoil Ultra might actually be going into the mechanic's 1998 Civic, but its hardly worth getting my ramps out for that much $.

How else would you listen to your Sony Discman?

I hope there will be a way to mount this with the box top flush with the top of the bed. I would rather have the full floor length of the bed to transport longer items, plus it would make it easier to reach over the side and access the box.

You could reach out to Long McArthur Ford in Kansas. They have a large presence on this site and will ship anywhere, directly to your driveway. They obviously have a system where they feel comfortable selling a car without physically meeting you. The shipping will be expensive, but you may...
