Wow. I feel lucky. My local dealer quoted me $2,700 for a replacement tail light since mine is leaking water. They seem to also have to program the damned thing to the vehicle. Getting real tired of this unnecessary programming stuff that your vehicle specific. No need for it.

Trooper Byrd! The man, the myth, the legend.

I have to disagree with this part. I bought from my local dealer, used to pass by it on the way to middle and high school as a kid. Family owned. The guy that owns it now inherited it from dad, who got it from his father. It isn't all shiny and flashy like the other larger dealers closer to...

You know, I have jokingly stated several times that having that big steel bumper across the back actually means something. Given the crap front ends on most vehicles, like this sacrificial Kia, are just easily mangled, I might actually have to take this to heart a bit more.

Ugh. Finding these Tesla chargers is a PAIN. Can't ever get them to pop up when I am traveling without using the iPhone app. Stupid, and dangerous. Is this actually done on the nav system in the truck directly?

Riiiiiiiiiight. You keep telling yourself that. Hypocrisy much?

Wait you just wrote to avoid political statements here, but then a couple sentences down write "the orange man." Hypocrisy much?

Ha. Took me a minute. Quite well done Ford.

Went to the same school my grandparents (raised me) did. Love those old sayings, because they are true, and cut through the BS.

Well, I may be a bit lost in exactly what you're saying, I was saying it in jest.

Well then what good are you to us?

So this weekend I got to tinkering. Took out the passenger side rear tail light to investigate the condensation issue. I opened up the rear of the assembly where the blind spot detector is and tilted the assembly. I swear about half of a cup's worth of water minimum came out of that tail...

You were lied to I suspect. There's a recall on it. But lamp assemblies in general usually are designed to have some small drainage holes because, well, there's air in there and air has condensation and it needs to get out somehow. There is an ongoing issue with moisture in the tail lamps as...

That would lean heavily against it being a battery issue. Once one of those is going you'd still be having traffic backup issues.

My '22 Lariat has been good as well. Recall stuff, and a pesky rear tail lamp that has some condensation in it that isn't covered by warranty or under recall despite it being a known entity. The truck is overall great.......except the damned price tag like you mentioned.

I just made a report to NHTSA about it as a safety issue. Realistically, they're more important to notify as well. Ford may or may not do something about it on their own.......but a recall is a bigger issue. https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index

Sadly this is apparently still happening. Mine got whacky last week in the rain. Stopped working entirely. Dried out and now it works. Took it to the dealer this morning. Ford wants $2453 for a f@cking tail light assembly. What in the actual...... Google search turns up ones for $700 that...

I had the Hakkas last winter. First time I have had winter tires on any of my vehicles. This winter will be winter number three. I've loved the damned things. I have dirt roads all around me and while my town does a great job at plowing....... I have tried to break the truck loose. I just...

Like I wrote, just take it as humor. Or else I'll start posting political memes.

Not quite sure where to post this, so I'll do it here. My girlfriend sent me this video about the Cybertruck and it's narrated by David Attenborough. Couldn't resist sharing it with folks. I feel for the folks dropping the money on these things, however if you take just as humor it's pretty...
