Brake rotors typically have their "spec sheet" (Minimum thickness) stamped on them. I will give you the point about specialized equipment for measuring, though some people may need to dig through their kids' arts and craft supplies to find a ruler with millimeter markings if they don't own a...

Ford wiper blades are a bit unusual. The OEM driver-side blade, part #WW-2249, is listed by Ford as a 22-inch blade, but it's actually closer to being 23 inches long. Most 22-inch replacement blades are closer to being 21.5 inches long.

Yes, it is fine. All Ford vehicles made after 2013 are safe to use E15.

Antedotal, but I purchased my Maverick hybrid about 3 years ago and immediately drove 1800 miles home, doing 80-90 mph most of the way, and have had no issues.

The "quick" explanation is that the truck computer(s) (BCM, ECU, etc) control the HVB, and the 12V battery powers the truck computer(s). That is to say, if your 12V system goes down, the HVB is too "dumb" to do anything on its own. Most Hybrids / EV / Alternative fuel vehicles still use a 12v...

Under certain conditions, I think the maintenance plans can be worth it: 1. You won't be doing maintenance yourself (which you've said you won't be). 2. You prefer to visit dealerships for service over a local shop. 3. You know you'll keep and drive your vehicle within the time and mileage of...

I would guess a shop might charge you 2-3 hours of labor so maybe $200-$400 range for installation? They, wolfbox, have a dealer / installer search on their website, I'd start there if you were interested in getting a setup like this!

You are way overthinking this. What you received is significantly easier to install and will provide better results.

You can also achieve similar results by starting with a base 1x material and then cutting and attaching 1x "stiles." Probably won't look nearly as nice, but it will require fewer tools and "skill."

You're splitting hairs here; reducing fuel usage and emissions are the same, except manufacturers have no reason to care about emissions; they care about their CAFE numbers and the fuel economy they can market to consumers. https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/2205440 I will put more weight into...

The "EPA fuel mileage" that manufacturers use for highway and city is a "drive schedule" test created by the EPA on a dyno. In these specific tests, auto start-stop substantially increases fuel mileage. The big problem with this is that the EPA fuel economy tests do not indicate how many people...

Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I would never try it.

Just a reminder to everyone who "doesn't even use the camera": don't forget that other people who drive your truck might use it! Be sure to keep Murphey's law in mind if you ever hand over your keys.

Yes, this is normal- instead of having dozens of different maintenance intervals for hundreds of models documented almost every shop will just have their own standard multi-point inspection(s) that will usually fulfill or exceed most manufactures maintenance "inspection" line-item requirements.

Has only happened to me once so far- had a brief moment of terror because I thought I was about to live the horror story of truck dying on the interstate that I've read about on the forums. Way more common is I accidently turn the dial too far and slam it unto park when I'm trying to reverse...

The cyinic in me feels like the main purpose of this "holding" is to create an artificial shortage to increase demand.

Your email client is turning the background black with font gray- probably because you have dark mode on.....

Easiest way is to jump pick up a pump attachment for bottle...

Dang, I got my hopes up for a second I might be getting my second set of tires for free 😂

2023 xlt hybrid same recall notice. Have had the issue happen once about a month after I got the truck, fixed itself later that day and hasn't happened again.
