Ford doesn't care about legacy names anymore. see the Maverick and Capri, neither of which are what the original vehicles were. i mean, they also seem to not care much about the actively used names either, see the Mach-E and the fact there's now 4 types of Raptor, only one of which has a V8...
this message usually happens when the vehicle isn't sure if the park brake actually applied. these modern Fords run a ton of plausibility checks, and if one isn't quite right, it assumes something's wrong, since a false positive is safer than a false negative. it could be absolutely nothing, or...
as others have said, take it to the dealer. personally, i had that exact message pop up when my DH was only a couple months old on my way into work. i stopped on the side of the road, restarted the vehicle, and it hasn't happened again. the PCM watches the application time of clutches with...
it's difficult to really tell, because i've tried to figure that out as well, and it seems to vary. i figured out a while ago that in like 6th it's much lower, but i had a thing this past Sunday when going home from Goodyear that it hit a cutoff before 7500 and not in 6th. it's probably some...
i think that's just kinda the nature of people. we like something better if it's given to us for seemingly free, even if it raises the base price, rather than having to pay additional for something that's already possible, just not activated
i used to have a 2022 M1 HP. i like the DH much better. it actually feels like a current generation vehicle instead of something Ford's been limping along for 7 years. granted, the chassis is still more or less the same, but still. the 10R80 was in both the M1 and DH, and the DH tuning is much...
it's fake, at least the picture is. the picture is AI generated.
the silver parts of the front-left wheel aren't all the same, that same wheel's center cap isn't an "H" but some weird mess of silver, all the balloons are crinkled on the edges like they're all foil, the right mirror seems to be...
the last time i had a passenger period was like 2 months ago, and before then probably a year ago. back when i had the EcoBoost, though, one of my cousins was visiting and we used the back seat for her kid's car seat. that's it, though. usually the back seat just holds my jacket or other random...
this is interesting, because i recall going 163 in my auto DH once before letting off. scary as hell and never doing that again, but it was definitely more than 155
good looking install, but unless you're being tagged from a fair ways in front, they're going to be rather ineffective. also you should know those shudders open and close, they don't stay still, so just hope they don't ruin the cables to the heads or close when you're being targeted
Ford Europe actually wants their customers to have good color choices it seems, i'd say they're more spoiled. here's a (probably incomplete) list compiled from ford.co.uk, ford.de, ford.ch, and ford.it of colors that the US doesn't have offered on new Fords
Frozen White, Digital Aqua Blue, Solar...
could be because it's not in any parts catalogues yet. if they can't find it, they likely can't order it. might be worth checking later in a month or two. even parts.ford.com doesn't list it
so, i saw something today that's interesting. Ford is explicitly targeting those who make $250k+ per year in the age range of "early millennial and late gen x" if i remember the wording right. they also mention the competitors of their market are the Porsche 911 and Corvette Z06.
if that's the...
but those parts were actually GT500 specific, and were ordered by me during mid to late 2022. magnesium alloy paddle shifters that only work with the DCT (i tried it), and a button cluster with the suspension and steering mode button (the GT350 had these on the other cluster, not the one i...
curious how, when i had my Mach 1 and the GT500 was just ending production, i managed to order both GT500 paddle shifters and a steering wheel button cluster without a VIN then. ditto with the numerous people who also ordered GT500 parts for their S550s. the GT500 parts are not restricted like...
