Curve Control is indeed a form of torque vectoring Ford has been using for a while now. It’s not going to help your turning radius, it’s for turns at speed where differential braking and torque management makes a difference in handling safety, not a convenience thing. It’s an outgrowth of Roll...

Having driven a variety of IRS and solid rear axle/leaf spring vehicles over the years…You should see an improvement in ride quality with IRS, obviously at the rear. It’s particularly noticeable when you take an IRS vehicle over washboard roads and similar repetitive surfaces, they handle it...

You may wish to add the mileage. Is that a plow bracket up front? Did it do any plowing?

My bet is it is a holdover from the sudden unintended acceleration/floor mat entanglement fears 20 years or so ago. Having the brake further away and sticking out probably slightly reduces the chances you’d hit the gas and the brake (even though modern electronically controlled engines can...

As best as I can tell…Looking at the Canada order guide, it looks like fog lamps at a minimum required the XL Chrome Appearance Package (86A), which changes you from steel to aluminum wheels, but that’s not a tire size I see for 86A, it looks like the wheel and tire size for the STX package, so...

Oh, wait…what vehicles are you trying to buy? The Mach-E isn’t just due to COVID parts shortages, it’s a new vehicle in *extremely* high demand. If you’re trying to buy something that high demand, yeah, there’s gonna be an ADM at a lot of dealers. That’s actually not uncommon in a normal time...

Oh, I totally get *why* you are thinking about it, I just don’t think it’ll work. But anyway… Are those the off-the-lot prices, or are they talking ADM on orders as well? By me dealers want MSRP for vehicles on the lot, sometimes a tad more, but are giving their usual deals for orders, so if...

I’m not in California nor am I a California attorney (nor is this legal advice, merely my personal thoughts), but just based in a quick look, I doubt it would work. What is California’s threshold for price gouging? I think it’s like 10% when there’s a declared emergency. But not all consumer...

Both systems use GPS to obtain the location. Cell phones have GPS receivers in them too, although they can also cheat some since if they know what cell they’re connected to in the network they already know their approximate location. (I suspect there’s a decent chance the “built-in” and...

It’s always ideal to follow the break-in procedure. Sure, there’s always some small chance you’ve contributed to some premature wear. However, you’re probably fine. You didn’t massively stress the vehicle and it was 200+ miles in. It’s not like you took it off the factory line with the rings...
