ford, go ahead with that back hatch patent so sheet goods can protrude into the 2nd row seating area like the avalanche. you really addressed the weakness of chevy's implementation relying on the rubber seals to prevent water and debris making their way on the same level surface into the...

"copilot 360" confusion is because of the depreciated capabilities of later models. It's poor characterization just like "self driving mode" or "autopilot". If a pilot passes out and the plane is headed towards the ground the copilot would take over. What we have here is the 3rd flight person...

instead of ford hoping to find the draw purely thru software means (can bus) they should put an engineer on a data logging computer board with multiple current sensing heads that they can strap on various power lines and let it run and analyze afterward - a very similar thing already exists for...

I've never been much of a adherent to expiration fears, but what you mentioned may be true. I used to buy castrol 1qt by the case (std oil, not synthetic) when they went on sale and therefore only used the last bottle at the 2nd oil change maybe 2 yrs later. Besides letting the oil catch pan...

I agree there is not enough standardization! Question: When does a hexagonal red sign that says "STOP" NOT mean stop and proceed when clear? Ans: When it pops out from a school bus. Why don't the adopt an image of the 3 light stop sign with the red "lit" if they want everyone to stop and hold...

Hope not to hijack this thread but, wouldn't it be funny if destination and delivery charges were zero for prime members? Also, potentially a big market for custom wraps as you can "build your dream" of another car...

from the other story today: The Hyundai Santa Cruz is manufactured at the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) facility in Montgomery, Alabama. The facility is Hyundai's first assembly plant in the United States. The Santa Cruz is one of several Hyundai models, including the Tucson, Santa...

I'd seriously consider it as it fits my needs. In a 2 seater I don't need power windows (also risky if you get caught in a water disaster). Many don't realize how much extra weight the vehicle carries with lithium iron batteries characterized as "always traveling with the weight of a full gas...

appreciate the photos! What's with that patch on the exhaust pipe? I hope munro live does a examination of the transmission power take off for the awd - specifically is it a shaken out escape hybrid part or a new design - noting the fiesta and focus premature eol (due to the transmission too...

Sounds like a great service. But, just my personal service preference - jack the car up at the pinch point (so as not to distort the door frame-I can recall a few times I had to get in the car to turn the engine over) and locate the fallback safety jack stand outside the pinch point, and lower...

lidar(?) in the rear bumper? Autoline once talked about the first kia's with somewhat autonomous features where it was easiest to incorporate the new devices into the corner and bumpers. The result was ANY minor fender bender resulted in $30k of repair bills. Today even front windshield...

Really, really appreciate the heads up! - sorry for your anguish. Yes, people still do follow regular tv news such as this: crackdown on dealer junk fees starting in july. nbc nighly news I think the 3 majors all have a "tell us a reporting story" like abc leo stallworth, cbs I team etc. and...

Really clever idea to use the cover as the roof/sun roof! Keep up your creative thinking - great job!

sorry to hear you encountered the idiot. A thought, though not everyone is a diy'er like me, but maybe try the advice of purchasing the touch up paint from ford or amazon (they are lacquer based) and there are good youtube tips on applying it or seek out a pro who will do a tiny example spot...

It struck me as really odd the interpretation of the designation "iconic silver metallic FLEET ONLY". Though it has been repeated so many time, I wonder if what they intended to state is that fleet orders can only have silver or grey metallic. It seem odd to deny silver to the regular customer...

now can you convince ford to bring back the manual rear window slider. Won't buy one without it and not paying for the lariat extras. Yes one could scrounge up a $600 replacement for a $150 option, but will probably damage the paint. btw have you noticed how paint names effect decisions? cyber...

thanks for sharing, yes they won't be for everyone or even many, but for a few maybe. I recall a story during covid that food trucks were on the demise because of fewer office workers and the low mpg those step vans got, was making it uneconomical to even go out. I bookmarked this story of kei...

Sorry for your troubles. I've had a vacuum line chewed thru and implemented some of the deterrents. I recall this cartoon which gave me chuckles... https://condenaststore.com/featured/bamboo-flooring-jeremy-nguyen.html

from a listing today at dealnews maybe you might be interested in soundproofing at the firewall (thought I had seen some service diagrams as to placement locations). https://www.ebay.com/itm/353058759732 pls let us know if you do :)

I think someone mentioned something about a trailer hitch for more protection, so I was curious. They mount just like the bumper - rearward of the crumple zone and likely wouldn't change the outcome much. In the past I was interested in the first ford transit connect and read too many reviews...
