I use soap, and it erases all stains including red clay, mud, dirt. A good car soap does better with warm water and two buckets. I use Ammo NYC. An automatic car wash (scratcher, or touchless) will not clean it. Needs a scrub with good car soap. Foam Cannon might work. Finish with Armour All...
Thank you for sharing. Unofficially, these can handle about 32 degrees side to side or front to back unloaded, FYI. Of course, speed momentum and load will affect this. What pressure to you run offroad? I run 20 - 25 # because I am more Captain Cautious worried about losing a bead or getting a...
24k miles on 23 Wildtrak with some 4L off roading. One front differential replaced. No big deal. 46k on 21 OBX HOSS 1.0 zero issues. 4k on another, zero issues. Several other Fords in our herd with zero issues.
Th' truth, hand calculated:
Running 93 octane
46,000 miles
2.3 HOSS 1.0 auto 4 door 23 MPG
24,000 miles
2.7 HOSS 3.0 4 door 19.5 MPG
(First 5000 miles 15-18)
4,000 miles
3.0 HOSS 4.0 17 MPG

Over 8 turbo vehicles and several 100k of miles I've relied on 93. I've tested a tank of 87...
Cold engine. Keep water away from electrical and air inlet. I have used both hose or pressure washer. I've used a de-greaser, soap and just water with success. Again, be mindful of not putting water pressure on connections. Don't clean the spark plugs and wires. Drive it right after to dry it...
I trust any good shop will tell you if there is a tire issue causing your failure / holes. A lot of real resources past the forum. I use the reviews at Tire Rack and their call in / chat / email. If you don't know a shop, I trust Discount Tire stores generally.
Go to a tire dealer? My guess is something that you ran over.
Slime would fix the pinholes and any future pinholes. I think a carcas failure would mean belt separation and catastrophic failure of the tire, not swiss cheese holes. The way these are made, no holes unless you run over something...
I like the OE Goodyear tires. They did great at Moab for the off roadeo. They grip, last for me and fling rocks. Plugs are fine. You could put in some slime for the pinholes.
Granger, the Granger Team and the order / purchase experience has been the best for us. We traveled from out of state to buy 3 times since 2022. We will purchase with Granger again!
Also ordered in 2023, never delivered and CC dispute to get refund.
Previously ordered in 2022, and received. The back ones need to be longer, we got 4 with the back too short. Nice design. Horrible service.
Check th' Ford Website. The Badlands has HOSS 2 either way, with or without SAS.
With SAS for '24:
" HOSS 2.0 System with Bilstein PSDs, and high clearance ride height "
Well, GREAT NEWS. The differential was delivered. Appreciate all of the help. I contacted everyone at Ford that I could, and something happened. I could be rolling again Monday or possibly tomorrow.
Thank you, Ford! Looking forward to rolling soon. Appreciate the forum help
Thank you for this. Any tips to get this?
Your insight is appreciated. We ordered 9/21 - delivered 6/23. Hope to be able to drive this again.
We have a 141k Edge loaner to daily now.
How much fuel in the tank? Less than 1/2 tank there would likely be enough moisture in there to make it not start. Most likely cause.
Tough to believe, but true. I keep them full in the winter, and never let them go below 1/2 overnight.
4L with the front locker on for the first time, and something in the differential snapped.
10" of snow, shifted to 4L, activated the lockers on a level snow covered gravel service road. Bad noises when the front wheels turned. Grrrr sound. Differential gears snapped. Not drive-able. Need a...
