That's why we've been getting them on newer vehicles. With all the electrical controls on these things, the costs to repair are astronomical, even if you DO take it to an independent shop. Just a few bills like yours and the warranty has paid for itself.

You're likely outside the timeframe to be able to get a Ford ESP on that. And the VAST majority of 3rd party extended warranties aren't worth a whole lot.

If you had the same driver driving the same course in the same controlled conditions, the heavier 4-door SHOULD get worse mileages. They'll be close, but there should be a difference. Should. Of course, as with all mass-produced things, there will be some outliers. It's possible you got one...

While I agree that there's already a couple threads on this that could be found with a search, I'll chime in anyway. There's a LOT of factors that go into what you're going to see as mileage. Your configuration is going to matter - a 4-door Sasquatch should, in the same driving situation, get...

If it was hooked up properly when you left, it shouldn't have been an issue. I would suggest having your neighbor go check on it - one of the clips could have slipped off, something/one may have unplugged it, or something may have tripped a breaker on the circuit your tender is plugged into...

Like others have said, there is no aftermarket component that will increase the value of your vehicle for resale. In fact, anything you HAVE added, you may want to remove and offer up later, either to 'nudge' someone who is tetering on buying it, or on FB marketplace or even the classified here...

Agree with the above, though I have a fondness for the rounded 'car caddy' dollies. They can be chocked, some have brakes on them, but they are curved to prevent flat spots on the tires. They also allow the vehicle to be moved if needed without being started, or to be put in a more 'out of the...

I have never carried a phone in my back pocket - front pocket is preferable because if someone's going to try to pickpocket me they'd better be willing to cop a feel. And because I don't wear skinny jeans I can sit down just fine with a phone in my front pocket.

So I was going to say 'whatever fits your budget.' I've never had good luck with Bosch ones. RainX have treated me well across multiple vehicles. Given our conditions here it's a good idea to replace at least once a year, if not twice. But I'm going to have to give the Motorcraft ones a try...

Sounds like onX can be used on the center screen from your phone now, which is a nice feature. And it's free for a year if you sign up with your FordPass credentials. For most people, a phone holder isn't necessary since everything you should need is accessible through the center screen. An...

Some people want a rare vehicle. And want to know how rare theirs is. Our Bronco isn't that rare - there was an identical one sitting on the same lot just a different color. In '24 I could find dozens of them within 100 miles. My wife's expedition I could find a hundred of them within 100...

The thing is, it was a GORGEOUS color, and when the light hit it right you could really tell it was a VERY deep blue. But it just amazed me how many people got angry that he corrected them...when the proper response is 'really? doesn't look like it but okay' over something that doesn't affect...

My FIL had an F250 in AMB. He hated it. Not because he didn't like the color - he actually liked it a lot. But we nicknamed it 'The Fickle B!tch' because, as you point out, in rain or full sun, yeah, it looks a very deep blue. But in just about any other light it looks black, and so we joked...

Nibroc did a better job describing it - it really depends on the application, the layout/power of the vehicle, surface, etc. Straight-line on pavement or concrete, RWD shines...until the back tires slip, then having the extra power shunted to the front wheels picks up the slack. Long, sweeping...

^^^ That. That's weld spatter that wasn't cleaned up very well prior to assembly/paint. It's pretty common and isn't a structural issue, just a cosmetic one.
