This receiver shackle for your hitch is a no-no. Yank on another vehicle and the result will make you sad.

Double-nope. Your balance & alignment should be fine.

Aaaannnnddd I wish I could find out how to get it to auto resume the mode I used last. I typically forget to hit OK to continue with previous mode. :(

If the bank charges you 3.85% interest, but inflation makes each dollar worth 8% less, it seems like you are coming out ahead. Or am I offbase?

If you financed at 3.85% in an 8% inflationary world, is the bank paying you 4.15% to borrow that money?

In my experience the first 1000 or 2 miles returns poor mileage for any new vehicle. Would be interesting to compare early results to similar test after 5 or 10k miles…

I’m about to find out. My bronco arrived at the dealership yesterday, I’ll bring it home next week. My daily driver since 2016 is a Focus ST. It’s a fun little car, zoomy!

Intermittent electrical bugaboos are the worst. My son is a mechanic at a dealership and if they can’t reproduce the problem they’re stuck with guessing. Wiggling the wires might find the problem but only if it’s a connection issue. Anything internal to the module or some similar electrical...

That’s excellent! Thx for the link. I haven’t had any luck finding a hose reel for under the spare tire mount. I’ll broadcast it if I can find one….

Ayup!

That’s a Ford part number at the bottom of the sticker in case anyone wants to order it.

That first tank of fuel is not a good baseline. In my experience all new motors get worse mileage in the first 1 or 2k miles due to the break-in period.

I share that blend date.

It will deal with heat better if it’s inside the cab & clean. I live on a dusty dirt road and mounting it outside will keep the pump filthy. I’d like someone to engineer a hose reel for under the spare, and a bracket to mount the pump inside the cab. Maybe it’s not practical, but thinking about...

This is awesome but I’m worried abt the dirt & water & weather. Howsabout mounting it inside the gate to feed a hose reel under the spare tire? Just enough hose to reach the front tires….

Adding sport mode to Badlands sounds like a winner to me. I got a blend date of Sep20, can’t wait!

My order was confirmed March3, and I got my window sticker today! With a blend# of 320220920 I assume that’s September 20th, right?

The winter tires vent the water quite well as they are designed to vent slush. Many summer tires I see don’t have the pattern to manage much water. I know I’m far more likely to hydroplane in my summer tires in my focus. So this isn’t about rubber compounds, it’s about the geometry of the tread...

I had a discussion with a tire engineer recently. He insists there’s no such thing as a quality all-season tire. The rubber can be optimized for 110f or -10f, not both. There’s no rubber recipe for good performance across a 100+ degree temp range. He runs different summer & winter tires on his...

How do you like those mudflaps? I don’t see them often. I do a lot of dirtroading and my vehicles get seriously chipped from the stones….
