I'd already made up my mind to use factory oil filters ( to avoid any possible conflicts). I was surprised when I bought the Ford filter, (at the dealership) that it was only 6 bucks and some change. I don't think you can buy any decent aftermarket filter for 6 bucks!
Also... be aware that...
I AM 70. And I will still do my own maintenance. Simply because I want it done RIGHT! I was an auto mech for years, and then ran a tool truck for years. I can't begin to tell you the horror stories. Wrong filter= blown engine. Loose ( or stripped drain plugs) Differentials never refilled. I...
Can't thank you enough for this! Happened to me last night. I ended up taping over the opening because they were calling for rain. Then later, I searched online and found your post. I just got back in from following your instructions and it worked perfectly. I'd emailed my service manager...
I've had 3 Rangers, and loved them all. I seriously looked at a Tacoma a few years back. You could still get a 4 cyl, manual trans.. All I could find on the lot were Tacomas in the 35 to 45 thousand range.. What amazed me most was that an F-150 full size got the same or BETTER mpg than a...
I prefer to say suck it.
Seriously though, a lot of people thought I was nuts for waiting 15 months... However, for a brand new vehicle, with warranty, that's averaging 40.1 since new, for UNDER 20K? Let 'em laugh
That "random wire" is the mating pigtail for a wiring plug behind the bed cubby access panels. Wire your choice of sockets, lights, etc. and simply plug it in.
I've had my hybrid for a little over three months now XL with 1 option (hitch package) I had been reading about the outlandish mileage claims for well over a year now. And didn't really believe them. Now? I'm a true believer. I find taking the back roads gives better mileage than the straight...
Bell Ford. Adrian, Michigan.
They were 100% up front with me. They kept me posted every step of the way. I rolled my 2022 into a 2023 and got 2700 back from Ford. I ended up paying LESS the MSRP.
Can't say enough good about them. Be sure to ask for Beth Noden
I have an excellent dealer. They kept me updated on all the production slowdowns.
But I ordered only ONE option (Trailer hitch) so none of them really applied to me.
Still, I waited 15 months. But I can honestly say now, it was worth the wait!
I've got about 1500 miles on mine. I too, waited 15 months. But it was worth it. I ordered a strippo with a hitch. I had my 2022 order rolled over to a 2023 and got cruise control standard. My mileage right now is averaging between 37 and 39 over all. I'm finding out I get BETTER mileage by...
