From my experience in my hybrid 91 octane got my from 38MPG to 42MPG so not nearly enough for me to care really. especially for the price difference. I didn't notice any performance boost either but I did notice that after two full tanks of 91 going back to 87 the truck dragged and got horrible...

Interest rates right now are normal. They were super low during covid to increase spending. It wasn’t that long ago that 4.9% was prime. As for used car prices well that was also a massively inflated market due to supply chain nonsense. By the time you are ready to trade out or up we will be in...

I did my own ceramic coating on my velocity blue hybrid. I found it to be easy but a little time consuming. It took me most of a Saturday afternoon to do the paint and a couple hours the next weekend to do the wheels and glass. i wanted to go with the adams line but nobody near me carried it...

My dealer tried not too (they make money from third party financing) but I pressed them on it in the finance box until he finally pulled it up. I ended up going with my credit union because they could match Fords rates. Then they gave me a .2% better rate because I was already a member and had...

I'm planning on upgrading my system with tax monies next year but people on this forum have noticed the clips holding the factory tweeters in place are a strange proprietary system and always need to be heavily modified to hold an aftermarket tweeter. I would suggest adding new tweeters in the...

That's probable true but people always prefer the look and feel of familiar technologies. That same survey in 20 years probably wont even include stick or column shifters. I'm waiting for the day gear shifters will be on the touch screen. I much prefer the look and feel of a traditional 6...

I honestly don't believe in "Break in" for new vehicles. I have had several vehicles new and used and drove them all into 200k + mileage. I have never had any break in issues. I believe its just the manufactures way of mitigating liability for people driving like a maniac and having their...

I like it just fine. It 2022 now. If its not a manual transmission it should be digital. It took me a few weeks to get used to it but now I don't even notice it. I'm more bothered by the key not being a push button start. Nobody makes actual keyed ignitions anymore. It was a weird decision...

I am 409. I am definitely getting a sticker. I love this . It will be like the waving hand on jeeps.

Powerball at least clearly states your chances of winning on the ticket. Ford cant be bothered to do even that for us. BTW no other manufacturer is having this level of problems. Chevy has a whole line of EVs coming out but you don't hear their customers complaining. Probably because they are...

I ordered the OEM bed extender with my XLT Hybrid Lux. The pros are that snap in straps are the perfect length and when its in use it is very tight to the tailgate and does not bounce or shift at all. Also the OEM is not held in by any bolts or pins. It is a slide in and out L bracket which...

I'm looking at moving to Colorado soon and I will probably need winter tires as well. I was thinking about heading to my local salvage yards. We have a pull your own parts style yard nearby that only charges $35 for aluminum wheels and $15 for steel. With any luck I could find a matching set of...

Just getting ready for Winter. The day after I got it detailed and ceramic coated.

I wouldn't do anything until the truck is delivered. Then just call the dealer tell them you bought a truck because the wait was so long and you aren't sure which one you want to keep. At that point there is a good chance you can sell it right back to the dealer and make a quick couple grand for...

When I ordered mine last year I still had a paid off 2009 Focus with 135k miles. 3 months after I ordered the Mav, I totaled the focus. I Tried to last until the mav came in with only one car for the family but I caved and bought the wife a dodge journey and I took over her 2018 chevy trax (80k)...
