Either a manual transmission or the ability to manually control the automatic. (Shift paddles or at least a button to select a gear.)
Auto stop start delete.
full sized seats! Why is the seat bottom so short?
A longer bed. Just an extra cab.
Spot on! I canāt stand all the electronics on my XL eco boost! Iām going to sell mine. Even the touch screen (radio) drives me nuts. I recently got a 2006 E-350 van. 415,000 miles on it. On its second engine and transmission. The thing purrs like a kitten. Hasnāt got a single leak or use any...
As I start the uphill portion I add a little throttle to maintain the current speed. The trans is slow to react. When it does itās too much. It only needs to drop 1 gear but instead it will drop 2 or 3. So there for I let off the throttle (slightly) because Iām going too fast up said hill. I...
Off topic here. Myā24 ecoboost shifts terribly! Normal mode is wildly inconsistent. Always in 2 or 3 gears too high. Twice Iāve floored it from about 30mph and literally counted out 4 seconds before it finally down shifted. Going up even a mild hill you have to give it a fair amount of throttle...
This was my solution. Iām sure most wonāt like it. Iāve never scraped it on anything. Itās quite solid. I used a 1. Inch long bolt with a lock washer and nut. It holds it tight. No flapping. Iād like to think it directs a little more air into the intercooler š¤·š»āāļø. I couldnāt bring myself to...
I think I have an oddball truck (ā24 XL eco boost 4K) the āone touchā works when I put the window up but not down. Itās actually really sensitive. I rarely put my windows all the way down so maybe it does work then.š¤·š»āāļø.
I only have one option on the AWD, slippery. I thought all the AWD models...
Mine does too! Thereās holes for a fin there on each. I just noticed the other day washing my truck. Itās been fairly cold here (PNW) lately and the āshuttersā were almost closed.
also curious why it the inter cooler has fins/ shutters? Isnāt a colder intake charge more efficient?
Thanks for saying that. I agree.
Again some of my comments are about nearly all new vehicles (screens and transmission programming). I would have gotten a manual transmission if it were available.
Iām a lifetime motorcyclist and drive large box trucks. No accidents in 20+ years. (Knock on...
I read the wiper āprocedureā. How dumb is thatš.
I did not know you could turn the sensitivity down on the āpre collisionā system!!! Someone Send me a link! I actually almost crashed the first time it went off! It scared the living crap out of me! There was no reason for it and all of...
My bad. I did not. I did a ton of research. Read every article watched a lot of YouTube reviews. The worst of the reviews reluctantly said the interior was plasticky. Bed was small. Some minor quibbles. Itās an inexpensive vehicle. Some of my complaints are from living with it. Some I probably...
Hate it! Note; most of my complaints are cover most new cars butā¦.
1. Transmission programing. I canāt stand the constant up shift down shift. It has to make a couple gear down shift for a 2mph increase. Then immediately goes back to the highest gear possible (Normal mode). Sport mode is...
Ok Iām jumping in on this! šµāš«
1. U.S. headlight laws are decades behind European standards. I donāt understand why we canāt adapt to better and safer standards
2. LED headlights seem brighter because thereās little refraction and no fluting on the lenses anymore. Just a smooth reflector and a...
lol! Not sure what the appeal of the role up covers are? Tri folds are so much easierš¤·š»āāļø I bought the cheapest one on Amazon. It installed quickly and easily. Itās almost water proof. (Maybe a very small trickle of water after washing). Simple to remove if needed. I call it the easy button.
Ahhh yes, the great alcohol debate. The best studies have shown E10 a break even in emissions. Factor in the entire process from start to finish and most studies say it just costs us more money. (From farmers being subsidized to grow the corn. The making of the alcohol. Trucking the alcohol to...
