I had a 1995 Probe GT that had tri-color red, and I had the fuel door replaced, and when I took it to a local, well-reknowned body shop, they really didn't want to paint just the fuel door because of this exact problem. I insisted, and it turned out a slightly darker red than the rest of the car.

Yes, they blend over a much larger area, usually, from what I remember

Azure grey is a 3-stage paint, or tri-coat (metallic base, color tint, clear) Very difficult to get small, newly painted areas to match the rest of the original. Good paint shops usually refuse to paint only small parts when 3-stage is used (Like a fuel door)

Who cares 🤣. 21st century. All the automakers are doing it

Sounds like a dealer-specific thing to me. Switch to a different dealer

100% true statement. It's how it works in Product Development.

It was always Raptor. Never once was it "Warthog" outside of product development

Mine was leaking from same spot, similar mileage. Turned out to be a failed input shaft seal due to contamination when mounting trans to engine at plant. They had to replace the front bracket assembly inside the trans., since the seal was integrated into it.

The Topper Pad on the Bronco I/P is Painted High heat ABS plastic, and not the traditional MIC Polypropylene we traditionally use on them. Care must be taken when cleaning. The paint WILL come off. Sorry this happened to you!

I had my 2021 Bronco with the 2.7L start leaking back in February from between the bell housing and the engine. It was dropping about a coin-sized (quarter) spot per day on the driveway and garage floor. I took it in on March 17th and they said it was leaking from the input shaft seal between...

I'm thinking how comical it is that people see these images from MAP and suddenly think they are Quality Control experts. haha.

Normal. Especially with aluminum closures, and higher durometer primary door seal, since this vehicle does NOT have a secondary door seal.

Never happening. Ever.

So what if they are? They still own the vehicles at this point, LOL. They can do what they want with their assets. They could run them all through a vehicle shredder if they wanted to.

I read this, and can't stop laughing. Not how it works at all.

This thread cracks me up :ROFLMAO:

Yes. Also, this “workforce reduction “ doesn’t seem to have affected Duper Duty orders/sales for the month of November.. Records were set lol

"Company reductions"? huh??!? I don't see the connection.

The design and proportions of the vehicle from the ground up in the Ford studio were styled around the sasquatch package (35's) The vehicle, IMO, looks weird without it.

The angle of the panhard bar is by design. attaches to frame on the high side, axle on the low side. these bars are required in 4-bar trailing link set-ups, like the previous member said to control lateral movement of the axle. you usually don't find them on Hotchkiss/leaf spring setups.
