Questions for @Ford Motor Company
What is the estimated EV only range?
What is the estimated towing capacity / targets? (This is important as Scout announced lower towering capacity for their gas extender version than their BEV version)
Will there still Be a frunk or will the engine take its...
Thanks for the tag @GDN! Unfortunately Iāll be out of town that day but hope you guys have a good time. Iāve attended the last 2 that were in Austin and it was fun trying out all the cars, scooters, bikes, etc⦠not to mention we had several electric conversions to drool over including a Shelby...
Thanks for the feedback. With more than a dozen vehicles in my lifetime (Chevy, Pontiac, BMW, VW, Jeep, Hondaā¦), this is a first, and itās my first Ford so itās given me pause as my wife is looking for a new vehicle and the explorer platinum V6 is on our shortlist, but Iām concerned about this...
After first dealership visit, it came back right away after the fragrance of whatever was in the vents wore off.
I took it back and they had their "best guy" work on it, and that seems to have tamped it down significantly, but it's still present every other trip or so, some worse than others...
Shop foreman went through the truck, found no sign of critters leaving presents or other activity. No water penetrations found. Blew out the (newish) filter. He personally re-did the clean, this time there wasn't much of the foam coming from the vents as before but the smell was gone. Will wait...
I've read dozens of posts about musty and other smells and all were fixed by cleaning the condenser coils, and when they did come back (nearly everyone said it did), it was after 6 months or longer.
My situation seems to be different. I first paid to have the truck fully detailed by a 3rd party...
Have ridden motorcycles my whole life, and later in life when it was no longer fun to ride in the Austin area and I hung it up, I continued on with bicycles and e-bike conversions.
Since I used infill I wasn't able to chamfer this enough to make a difference (and not screw it up) which led me to widening the hole as an experiment by about 1mm and that flattened it out perfectly. I'm going to take the step file and modify it with the chamfer and slightly larger hole so it...
I got everything from Soundsgoodstereo on Black Friday. Full sound deadening and block off plates, open box door speakers from Focal (designed for ford drop-in replacements) and their custom behind the seat sub box, amp and bass control.
The sound deadening was at least half of the install...
Anyone else having issues with the thingiverse print where the lid isn't resting fully flat, and rocks just a tiny bit under pressure? I've noticed is some pics here that there is a gap between it and the edge similar to mine... If I push it down it tightens up. The ears are fully shaved and...
These were pretty easy to install and plugged into an existing cable harness. The only wiring that wasnāt plug and play was power and ground which was also simple once I figured out how to get it to the frunk ;-)
No change in efficiency that I can tell
They are lower, my 5ā 82 y/o mother has been able to get in with a little bit of effort but sheās pretty frail.
10.5" Ground to step
13" step to cab
Interesting to see multiple months showing upward progress from Carvana and other resale sites. Still a steep loss for those of us who bought early, but with all the discussions about production slowdowns, low demand, etc, it's good to see a positive sign.
Thankfully I have no desire to sell...
Clicked on Apple Watch FordPass app and the controls finally came up after getting through my 2nd page of posts here... they have to improve the [click app] -> [ready to accept commands] timing. It's wildly variable from "why did I bother" to "it's fast enough to use, but not fast enough to be a...
Ideally I'll hold until either the extended warranty is running out ('22 with 32k miles)
Wife plans to get the Scout SUV which will scratch the new car itch (replacing 2015 Jeep GC Diesel).
Reasons I'd keep longer: Factory upgrade to higher voltage charging system and/or longer range battery...
Spot on! When it calculated it correctly, everyone was posting thinking there was some sort of battery capacity issue with their trucks (including ME!). When that was happening, there wasn't nearly enough education for the buyers so they would be prepared for it. Unfortunately it seems they had...
