Our XLT arrived with small dents and scratches on the front bumper caused by the carrier which the dealer addressed with a new bumper and paint. We also noticed indentations on all of the tires and let the dealer know we would like it addressed. No effect on driving, but to me, these were odd...
These are just safety straps in case the clamps give out. Our are just dangling for now but I intend on cutting them off (sewn loops hold them on so it has to be cut to be removed). I get that the safety nazi's are working overtime, but this is serious overkill, plus, it takes up space in the...
Took about 10 minutes to install. However, we have the bed rail system, and the cover comes with the standard screw clamps plus a strap that is sewn into a 2 piece clamp that is meant to slide into the bed rails. Could not figure out 1) how to install this and 2) why it is even needed...
We bought the Gator SFX tri fold, and yes, it does sit on the bed rail tops. I'm curious if you noticed the pricing for the bakflip covers? They are typically a grand or more which kind of kills a budget approach to a rack system. Plus, the installation is quite a bit more complex and...
Curious, did the gator cover have the straps that are supposed to slide into the bed track system? Our does, in addition to the standard screw clamps. Try as I might, I could not get the metal clamps at the ends of the straps to work inside the bed track. The clamps seem to hold it down just...
Having just installed a tri-fold bed cover on the Mav, you may want to consider using a soft roll-up style cover for your design. The cover we have extends to the indent line on the rail tops on both sides, which would preclude using the elevated rails you are looking at. I would imagine with...
I agree that this platform is being pushed pretty hard right out of the gate. I researched the 2.0 ford in general, and it appears about 320 is the max with supporting mods without digging into the top or bottom internals. My bet is cooling will have a lot to do with the peak numbers...
Thanks! Boy..they are really pushing this 2.0 aren't they? I have the AEM multi-guage in my ATS-V. Love it. Prep for going flex fuel setup with Ethanol.
I can only answer your first question. In this case, the unit itself comes with multiple maps, one of which I'm assuming is the "eco" map that supposedly will get you better MPG, and another, of course, is the performance tune that will get you more power. The "eco" tunes like this will...
All good observations. Its been my experience that even a slight change in barometric pressure can have a significant change in HP output. Given that they are stating a rough 12% increase in power, half of this could be accounted for by a single inch/hg change. However, I had time to do some...
Welcome. Prior to purchasing, one of the biggest frustrations I had was finding a comparison picture against a full size truck. Figured it would be handy on this site.
Coming from a tuning background, this seems overpriced for the gains. I'm betting there will be future tunes available with better gains, albeit, they will likely be flash type tunes vs this piggyback OBD2 plug-in. Also, given the current hp/tq figures, the gains shown could be very close to...
Looks good. I'd like to hear your impression of the ride quality pre vs post lift spring installation. No difference? Rougher? Turn-in? Also, did the tires raise the noise level significantly or not?
Is it loud? I would say no. Not loud. Yes, you can hear wind noise on the highway, but it doesn't force you to raise your voice or turn up the radio volume. I think this is a subjective issue. Some may find it loud, others won't. Our hard top Miata is way louder, as is our Cadillac ATS-V...
