Ford, in order to keep Keystone from buying damaged wheels from body shops and refurbishing them, has put a $50 core charge on each wheel
Meaning if you want to keep the stock wheels, add $200 to the bill, if you are ordering them online, add $200 to the bill.
If you don't want to keep the...
That is why it is registered in my legal state of residence, which is NH
I tried to buy it in FL but was going to get nailed on the tax
Tried to buy a used one wholesale, cash deal, on my NH Dealers license which I would have picked up with my Dealer plate, insurance binder and a wire...
wow my 2024 was only $1595 for shipping
Another reason I am glad I didn't wait for a 2025
And I bought mine in NH, where I put 1000 miles on it in 2 months, had the oil changed then drove/auto train'd it to FL (700 miles) to avoid the FL sales tax of $3700
Personally I rarely use the adaptive cruise in any of my cars, occasionally when I am going back and forth up the east coast I will turn it on for short periods of time to give my feet a rest and be able to move them and my legs a bit, but I still prefer to do it the same way I have for 55 years...
If you can find a 401A while Ford is doing the " A Plan" pricing (thru the first few days of June 2025) buy it.
It does suck that the B&O is now an extra $995 but even then I'd say spend the money
Buy once cry once
The 401A has a whole lot of fun toys as far as technology, and the B&O with...
I was just thinking bout a term I have not heard used recently
Vaporware
Why do I think we might be getting all worked up about something we are never going to see.
The software is set in stone because once it is CARB'd it can't be changed without a new submission and approval
The delivery...
not winding it up into the twilight zone and three OD gears will do that.
My GT Premium averaged 30 MPG on the trip from NH to Florida
Around town with the occasional exhibition of speed I still get 22 MPG
Not bad for a 3900 pound car
The minimum cost is going to be about $700 from someplace like Lethal, Dealer MSRP closer to $900 if it is just software and the interface.
Add filters or throttle bodies and expect to dig real deep.
Unless it is a big HP gain, like 50+ I'm not dropping that much money for 20 to 30 HP
Frankly...
It is getting to be top UP season here in FL, even with the cooled seats and AC blowing if you get caught at a light in the mid day or afternoon sun you are going to get very uncomfortable in a hurry
Thanks Ford for not giving us southern buyers a nice tan interior and top like I had on my 07...
Do you really trust Ford to fix their screw ups by a new design?
Oh the 5.4 2V's spit the spark plugs out? No we won't fix the ones that are defective but we came up with a new design to fix it.... the 5.4 Triton 3 valve.... ahhhh gee the spark plugs break off in the head.
16 TSB's later they...
The new caliper should already be retracted, so you can pop the existing one off without going into service mode as you don't need to retract the caliper to put new pads in
BUT that is the wrong way to do it as you should be installing new pads on the other side at the same time IMHO so you...
Ask any Ford tech what they think about them
I can tell you it is not an engine they are fond of
A friend of ours is a dealer tech, and he told us several years ago that once the EcoBoost's came out of warranty and started showing up at independent shops or used car lots out of warranty we...
Stage 4?
A MFP Racing or other crank snout support.

There have been instances if the additional load on the snout causing the crank to break at the oil pump.
