Got Alexa working again with total reset, but now my one year trial of connectivity disappeared. So now Alexa isn’t all that useful.

I’m having trouble with keeping Alexa working. I had it connected, worked for a week. Then quit. I disconnected phone, reconnected phone, did factory reset of infotainment, but now keep getting message that network connection issue. Also I did have YouTube working and was trying to get Netflix...

I just got stuck in a few inches of snow, with studded winter tires with my fwd 2024 hybrid. That is a rare occurrence that fwd gets in a jam like that, but it happens and I am looking forward to the 2025 awd hybrid I have scheduled for the week of January 6.

I think the bottom line is what matters…. Oversll fuel economy. When I first got my 24 I was steady driving for economy trying to beat my personal best with each trip. Over time I got tired of that. Now I just drive normal and the fuel economy is still there. How often it can use electric, at...

speed limits are pretty low for me (62 mph/ 100 kph), but what if you drove 80 mph most of the time. Would the ecoboost beat the hybrid on efficiency?

That’s great fuel economy out of both! Sometimes an argument is made that when a mostly highway driver, the EB is the answer over hybrid. I think the hybrid always wins the fuel economy race, but I wonder if you drove really fast often if they’d get closer. My hybrid took a pretty big fuel...

T That looks promising… Any chance that’s US only? Thanks for posting.

I have an aunt who is retired from Ford. It seems nephews may be eligible for Z plan, but I can only find info on this posted from US dealers. Here is a link to one. Is there anybody knowledgeable about this program in Canada? Does a nephew qualify for Z plan?

I think you’re correct that the xl is the better buy and the missing components can be added for less money. The only reason I stick with the XLT is trade/resale. I probably won’t ever keep one for more than a few years and the resale will hold better on the XLT.

I’m not convinced it’s more reliable. A bit more power though if that’s what you’re after. Personally if I was after performance I think I’d skip the mav altogether.

Ecoboost could have been better in some cases before with 4K tow and awd. Now that hybrid has both I would never consider the ecoboost. Especially if you happen to be in a state that will have a GPF on the ecoboost.

Chicken tax… that’s the 25% on foreign trucks, but doesn’t apply to Mexico. Tons of trucks are made in Mexico and sold in US including GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram heavy duty pickups, etc.

Latest move to help meet emission targets. DPF has been a bit of a nightmare for diesel vehicles. Hopefully GPF goes better. Good news for 2025 hybrid buyers, no GPF.

I’d be more concerned about the particulate filter and the issues it may cause.

I have all the paperwork from the sale. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the tip. If mine goes south would probably be a courtesy transaction through dealer to wholesaler to have sales tax benefit.

Keep reading on the page you’re sharing. You’ll see the info about USMCA. It is clear that currently no duty. There are a couple potential issues though Trump is talking a lot about putting 25% duty on Canada. The backup cam recall may also put a roadblock up.

All not relevant for cars manufactured in Canada, USA, or Mexico!! USMCA (formerly NAFTA) allows vehicles to move without duty between the three countries. The term foreign refers to the rest of the world.

I believe Canada, the US, and Mexico are not considered "foreign". The vehicle manufactured in Mexico and being imported from Canada would be duty free. I am no expert, but I know that as the foreign exchange fluctuates this dance is an ongoing thing.

I have had my 2024 XLT Hybrid with tow hitch and block heater since April 2024. My 2025 Hybrid XLT is on order and is scheduled for production first week in January. I intend to trade in, but with the current Canadian Dollar trending down, it looks like selling in the US could be better. My...

13,000 miles and mine are wore down to 5/32. Had two flats from rocks poked in on gravel road. Had to replace one after rock made irreparable t-shaped cut in face. Absolute junk tires.
