The shifting on the 10 speed is absolute trash, especially off road. A tune is necessary just for that reason. And it would have to be an afermarket tune, as the Ford tune doesn't fix the crazy downshift RPM flair to my knowledge.
No, I think it's available mid package and up, at least when I ordered mine. I'd recommend at least sitting in the different seats before making a choice but I found these seats are better and not just upholstery difference.
The leather trimmed seats have different foam and bolstering, which I found more comfortable. They are also power adjustable and have more adjustment than the other seats, like the tilt of the base, which to my knowledge isn't adjustable on the other seats. I got them for the padding and...
Yeah, the downshift strategy for these vehicles is so bad that it's borderline dangerous, especially in 4 low when you think shifting down will slow you down and instead the computer makes a poor attempt at rev matching and just accelerates the vehicle instead. And since you're in 4 low, the...
It seems like some individual vehicles are cursed. That's a lot of bad shit happening basically from day one and for no good reason. Meanwhile other people like me have years of use and abuse with no problems.
I can't believe this 4L screaming downshift is still an issue with these things. I have a '22 that I took to the dealer for an updated calibration hoping it would fix it but it still does it. I was wheeling today and also noticed that if you get hard on the gas and let off, it keeps going like...
I got the RCI sliders on mine, they were about the only bolt on frame mounted sliders available at the time. They're tough; I slammed down on them off a ledge by accident and I hit them hard enough that I could see where they kissed the pinch weld on the body. No permanent bending or real damage...
I got a 2022 that’s had cracking like that on the driver’s side window panel for roughly the last year and it hasn’t gotten worse. I’m not taking a chance replacing it because I feel lucky that the rest of the top is perfect and it’s barely noticeable in that one spot.
I didn't see this one on the forums, but someone had their's burn down while parked in the driveway. Comes from my local Bronco FB group. Said they were have weird electrical gremlins with the windows before it happened. Someone else commented that they had similar problems and almost caught...
If a proper 90° crank V8 sounds terrible to you, then you're the type of person that asks your wife's boyfriend for permission to speak at the dinner table.
You're kind of right. The detail difference is that the FAD models only spin the spider gears 100% of the time (when the FAD is in disconnect mode) but the rest of the differential is not moving (ring and pinion, driveshaft). In 4A models, the spider gears aren't spinning but everything else is...
For my own understanding, are you saying that the computer starts with 87 timing tables and ramps up, as opposed to starting with 91 octane tables and pulls back? When I say "expects", I mean the computer tries to run 91 octane unless it can't. I don't know where the starting point is since I've...
I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Not being pedantic, just want to make sure people get correct information. The stock calibration is also "expecting" 91 octane. If you run lower octane, the computer pulls timing to adjust. The tune does not alter this. It simply enables more aggressive...
Last statement was a bit ignorant to say the least. Here's several reasons why someone may want to tune their vehicle and not run it at its maximum potential all the time. If you drive to a state that doesn't have 93, what do you do? Bring a trailer full of 93 because some person on the forums...
Yeah no, 93 is not required unless you want the full advertised power. The tune does not deactivate the knock sensors. It will pull timing just like stock if knock is detected. That being said, if you read the fine print of the Ford Performance warranty for this tune, it says 91 octane is...
Good question. It was a 2021 Big Bend so probably not. I despise fake engine sounds so that would've made me hate it more. Rode in a new Tundra that had that and it ruined the entire vehicle for me.
I'm surprised not many people talked about the sound and feel of the engines. I drove the 2.3 and decided to get the 2.7 based solely on how much I hate the buzzy sound and feel of a 4 cylinder. It has plenty of power and arguably is a more reliable engine, but I couldn't spend $55k on something...
I can see a failure of the nitrogen charge in the shock reservoir causing this. If you suddenly release the pressure, it will eliminate the force of the shock shaft trying to extend and cause a slight drop in ride height. You wouldn't see an oil leak from the shock under the vehicle since the...
