Once again hoping my soft top holds up with the high wind gusts and Snow of yesterday and today. Sad she’s still sitting out there☹ When she should be tucked in my garage!!!

I really hope not. I bought this thing with full intention of keeping it “forever”. I really hope it’s a good vehicle.
That was my intention too! This 1.5 months and counting at ice mountain isn’t giving me much confidence though!

sport mode also disables it….do people drive in modes OTHER than sport??
Unfortunately Ford felt that ~43% of us don't deserve Sport mode. 😢

Can anybody else with a MIC (4 door) check to see if on either side in-between each door it looks like there's an inch to an inch and half gap of "missing" rubber lining/insulation under the edge of the MIC..

Mine is like this on both the driver and passenger side.

Wanna see if this is "normal" before reaching out to the dealer.

here's some pics.

Well, it’s signed sealed and delivered. Process was generally smooth, but of course they said the points and $100 reservation fee were between me and Ford, which I’m certain is bullshit. I was just too excited to argue at the time and will deal with it next week. Like everyone said it’s amazing!

Ok next question:

how the hell do I tell if my wiper fluid is low…

can see a little blue in the bottom there where it’s circled but I don’t see a full line

should the whole thing be blue? Or is the reservoir in behind there? Which if it is, I can’t see if it’s full or empty.

It does seem random how the different builds got assigned GOAT modes. Base has only 5, and it includes Sport but not Mud and Ruts, which is the main thing I need for winters on the ranch.

Beautiful truck, beautiful family! I love seeing EG on other trims.

Where did you get that t shirt?! The Ford accessories page is woefully meager and blah.

I switched my deposit from one dealer to another and on delivery, was told to get it back from the first dealer. Before calling the first dealer, I checked my credit card records and saw that they never charged me the $100.

Hey Campers I have opened the t-shirt ordering back up for those who are interested. My printer emailed me yesterday and told me there was a price change, they went up a couple of bucks on each shirt. Leaving the ordering up till March 15.

you are correct - pure bs. if want to fight DM me and will give you my dealers info and provide copy of my invoice showing $100 reservation, deposit, and price protection were subtracted from cost when took delivery.

Can also provide proof you are entitled to $1000 from satisfaction fund (i spent on accessories). Dealer has to provide Ford all kinds of documentation of order including actual invoices for all of the parts so may need to push to get them to do.

looking at manual there's a sensor

and unfortunately doesn't provide any guidance

to figure out level would drain first to confirm sensor works - then fill until it goes away - then add another third.

Hey guys

doing my first oil change and just got the skid plate off and was just kinda looking around while I let the oil drain back into the pan

I noticed this hose with some green fluid around it (coolant? Not sure?)

but the hose wasn’t pushed all the way on.

@Cat maybe another thing to add to the OCD list

I pushed it all way on now gonna clean it up and keep an eye on it
