Garageable.
Want beach vehicle, got Tremor.
Wanted to stay with Ford since my last 2 cars were great Fords, Mystique V6 manual trans went 368,000 miles. Engine never touched. Junked only because wiring disintegrated to the fuel injectors. I was 2nd owner since 39,000 miles. Focus ST has...
As you seem to be interested only in Ecoboost engine I can give my 2 cents about turbo longevity.
On my 2013 Focus ST, of which I am the original owner, I change oil myself as close to 5000 miles as I can, never going over 6000 miles. The turbo is original with me only having to adjust its...
9300 miles 2023 Lariat Tremor Avalanche Gray.
No issues.
Except that I still hate the dial shifter. Turn it the wrong way often when trying to get reverse. This is my first automatic transmission vehicle since my days of getting $200 or even free cars in high school and college.
And my last 2...
Deers are often wrong.
If you have work done by a dealer, or any mechanic/technician, always verify their work.
GF bought 2107 Escape. A demo with 4000 miles. (With 1.5L, bought without my knowledge, she went with her parents and brother...... sigh. To surprise me......)
I am looking it over...
Longevity
My 368,000 mile 1995 Mystique had original transmission with only the clutch changed at 250,000 miles.
My current 312,000 mile 2013 Focus ST has its original transmission and still has the original clutch.
I really doubt my Maverick Tremor will make 100,000 miles on its automatic...
6 months and 8000 miles in Tremor Lariat.
A few minor pet peeves already mentioned above,
But MAJOR annoyance is the dial shifter.
(and of course the lack of a slick shifting manual transmission)
My 23 Tremor Lariat is garaged nightly. When I go to start it each time, even if it is bright daylight outside, truck lights go on. Same for putting truck back into the garage. This is ridiculousness. I want control of the lights.
My Focus ST with HID was going through headlight bulbs every...
Hate the dial shifter.
Going into park when I want reverse.
Spinning to right when I want reverse.
Having to look down to reach it then see what gear it is in.
Not intuitive at all.
But then, I have been driving manual transmission cars since 1991.
Seriously considering selling Tremor for VW...
Hello all
First post.
Received my 23 leftover Lariat Tremor last week. First vehicle I have owned with an automatic since 1991.
Last 2 cars:
1995 Mercury Mystique V6 5 speed. That car went 368,000 miles. Awesome car.
Current car is 2013 Focus ST. It has 300,625 miles as of this morning...
