As noted this is a pretty common phenomena. If you've been driving in such a way that your mileage was low, then drive for a while in a style that conserves fuel, the MTE estimate will climb alongside your average MPG. My truck does this all the time, especially after I've been towing or moving...

As many others have said, if you aren't liking the road noise, you never will. They don't get quieter, not really. The roof panels make it always have wind noise, the tires, depending on what you have on them, will make road noise. Look at the doors - they're MUCH thinner than most normal...

If you'll note, I said in my opinion. My opinion is based on being a powertrain engineer with some years of experience, albeit not with the Advanctrac t-case. My opinion still stands though - I can be plenty aggressive in our Bronco or my wife's Expedition (same t-case system) without using...

When I was on well water (and agreed, I preferred the taste), I intentionally tied the outdoor faucets into the main water system AFTER the filter/softener (it had originally been plumbed BEFORE the filter/softener). It actually doesn't take a lot of work if things are in close proximity, and...

Because they presume when you're in Sport mode you're going to be doing aggressive things where having added traction/drive with the front wheels would be helpful. Dry pavement isn't really that case, and even when I DO put our Bronco (or the wife's expedition, for that matter) in Sport mode, I...

It in effect 'locks' the clutches in the t-case to make it act like a standard t-case when you select 4H/4L. In 4A they remain dynamic.

Unless I needed it I wouldn't run around all the time in 4A or 4H, especially not on dry roads. There's no reason to.

This is pretty much what it boils down to - many customers don't really care what color the vehicle is, as long as it meets their needs. Many don't even care what it LOOKS like as long as it has the things they want/need. Personally, I gravitate toward the darker end of the color spectrum...

These are typically 'dealer stock' trucks, ordered by dealers who just want trucks on their lots because someone will come by to buy it. They're the colors that don't come with a 'premium' price on them, so they'll order them up and have them delivered and try to shoehorn someone into one...

This is about what our '24 BD SAS does. On rural highways (marked 55-65) it gets its best mileage, I've seen as high as 23 if I'm running about 58 mpg. Above 65 (expressways) it begins to tank, at 70+ you can forget about the first number being a 2, it's definitely going to be a 1. In town...

Not a surprise, NYPost is a headline-grabber that leaves a LOT of details out just to stir up controversy. Frankly we need to get back to news reporting that reports ALL the facts, not just what grabs headlines. But there's no money in that.

Yep, that line right there - Ford, like any OEM or insurance company, will look for ANY way to get out of paying. They're in business to make money, and the easiest way to do that is to charge money and not pay it out. The 'cost' of your warranty is rolled into the price of every vehicle Ford...

Regardless, the dealer is still correct - that's not warrantable. The damage could have been avoided with proper disassembly techniques that I've done in my own garage. Your options are to pay to replace yourself, or try to hold your mechanic accountable for the damage. From reading the convo...

It's going to vary based on what the vehicle is, how it is transported, where it's going, etc. etc. My Tremor had 4 miles on it at delivery. My wife's Expedition had 30+ miles on it at delivery because a local dealer drove it up to our dealer (dealer swap), but the initial inspection at that...

Actually has 23 posts, almost all in vehicle tracking threads. Unfortunate that he expected an off-road vehicle with a removable top to be quiet and roomy inside. Recalls and warranty issues are a legit complaint...but the rest reads as someone with expectations that could never be lived up to.
