I thought about calling the MFG to see if it can be used like a Lojack. Though I believe you can track your car in the Ford app. Might be worth checking with them if you are in a high risk area.

If you're going to lease again, I'd say probably going to want to stick with the Big Bend or Base. I was thinking about leasing my OBX and the price difference between lease an purchase was negligible. So bought it. Ford doesn't make a lease attractive for the higher end models.

Part of the problem is it's not like trying on a pair of shoes: You can't easily compare the two. Probably most of us are upgrading simply because the OEM system is garbage and we just want something decent. The real question regarding DSP vs. no DSP is how high end do you want it and are you...

One thing I have heard: If you get your oil changes somewhere else, then your engine needs replacement under warranty, they can void it if you can't produce service records. This is why my wife gets hers done at a place that can print your service history (Valvoline). Her Expedition needed cam...

I'm joking. Though I don't doubt that someone at the service dept. would say that it will (even though it won't). When my wife was buying a Prius, there was something they were offering that was over priced (alarm?). I told them that we would pass, will get it aftermarket later if we want it...

In my experience, 100% of the things I use it for (GMRS mic holder) fall off during the next hot day. 100% of the things I want removed, will stay there forever!

Also just a reminder that the Ford service dept. would use this as a story of someone that 'voided their ENTIRE warranty'... This is why 100% of maintenance and repairs should be done by the dealer! :wink:

I would assume that the shop is going to be ignorant (or at least claim to be) regarding the torque specs of the rings. They might also refer to them as beadlocks and claim it's 'against their policy'. If you're lucky and you're nice, they might fix the bolts for you. If the bolts need...

I bought the Forscan USB adapter and turned off the EQ before taking it into the car stereo shop. It can also be adjusted according to what speakers you have. Forscan is a bit more technical than some people are comfortable with though. I'd compare it to editing the registry on a Windows PC (I...

Got it in the mail the other day. Perfect for the rear area and my purposes.

Sorry for your loss!

I'd try to find one under 30K miles. Mostly because I consider that still 'new enough'. You are definitely limiting yourself if you want a 2 door MT. The 2026 only comes with a 2.3. Not sure about which previous years have that limitation. Some older models have the 2.7. I'd look on Carvana...

A work vendor drives one, so got to see one up close. They look really cool, just not in my price range really. Plus it's another one of those vehicles that looks like it could go offroad, but you never see them lol. Similar to the Hummer and Defender.

The dealer wanted $4500 for 10yr/75K . So figure the warranty already included covers 3 years/36Kmiles bumper to bumper, 5 years 60K powertrain. So not worth paying that amount. Like said above, we have a savings account for emergencies. So if you and your spouse both buy the extended warranty...

I'm not convinced that the resin kit actually helped. Though comparing the costs of the resin kit and the increased price of the Bronco windshield, I would use another resin kit just in case it helps.
