I got pushed the BMS update last night. This morning remote start was disabled, had to manually start. That’s a new one for me. As usual, alarm prompt, color theme and ambient lighting were defaulted and the radio was defaulted ; set to AM 560. I suppose it’s somewhat understandable since...

so basically the same Sony system in all pre-’18 trucks. If it sounded good, it was modified. The “mixing” Ford used on the Sony system was, literally, several factors worse than current B&O offerings. You literally could not hear acoustic or rhythm sections in a band. My wife’s Subaru was...

What Sony systems? The Sony in the pre-’18 trucks was abysmal. Were they stock, or had they been modified? One thing the Sony gave us was it was easier to upgrade. I don’t find the ’24 B&O horrid, or horrible, but it’s not wowing either. At least it isn’t anywhere near as muddy as the F...

I’ve not seen anything showing Ford to be any more or less strict about warranty terms enforcement than GM, Dodge, Toyota, etc. What are you seeing?

Exactly right. The dealership uses discretion a lot of times and sometimes they abuse discretion. Once I start throwing bolt-ons at a vehicle, I’ll usually declare up front - “I’ve got mods, I know full well I own any problem caused by the mods, I don’t think they’ll interfere with this, are...

FIFY. Once the stealership says “your car has mods” the work stops unless you pony up. You can throw all the “lemon law/magnusson-moss/get a lawyer” verbiage out you want, but if the dealer sees something they don’t want to work on, they throw this obstacle up to get rid of you. A previous...

Except: "Our kits give you the freedom to open your door as factory, unlike most imitators, Lambo Doors, Scissor Doors, Wing Doors, Butterfly Doors, Lamborghini Doors, etc" so the kit seems to give you the option to open vertically or normally

I don’t need to be arm twisted to want more power from every Mustang powerplant, but I would point out that there are quite a few EB Mustang owners here and there needs to be a less expensive option to get into the car; a “gateway” model of Mustang if you will. Go ahead and spec out your v8...

well... if you get Recaro seats, you lose the cooled seats, memory seating and signal mirrors. :-/ If you’re ordering obviously you can specify what you want, but if you’re shopping dealer lots, keep that in mind.

#Metoo I just reseat the seat belt in the seat belt ‘guide’ when I get out.

HAH! I was in my Raptor waiting for my wife to finish up buying one of everything at some store in Virginia. Guy in a peasant-mobile bmw - 3 series, m3, whatever... pulls in and parks right next to me, throws open his door... Right into the Raptor’s running board. As Bugs would say: “What a...

It would sound better, but would have more parasitic loss. I’m going to guess that the 3.5 HO they’re quoting is the Raptor with either 35 or 37” tires. Do they still put that in the platinum F150? That truck is a bunch lighter, and doesn’t sport 4.10’s. I wonder if these numbers are...

IDK... can the 5.0 F150 pull 21 mpg? Also, what does the 5.0 torque curve look like compared to the 3.5TT? These are, of course, rhetorical questions because they’ve already been answered. The 3.5TT HO can send the almost 3 TON Raptor to 60 in about 5.5 seconds, and make S/A to El Paso on...

Not for nothing but, I bounce back and forth between have another beer and do away with humankind several times / day. I’m kidding, of course... ( about the have another beer part ) Turn signals help !

These stories sound to me like a dealer visit is warranted, as my LKA doesn’t fight me and I think most of the users here probably have the same experience. - is it perfect? No. - is it good enough that you can leave your hands off the wheel? No. But it’s not trying to kill me or my...

My wheel sits dead center. My inner paranoia suggests to me that this got worse after -1 upgrade ago. Most recent didn’t do anything noticeable. I drive the same straight stretch at least 3x per week and have not been getting the audio interrupt or hands on wheel alert and I’m not changing...

The stereo mute comes after the 2nd or 3rd popup, right? It’s definitely a bug, I got this on a 1.5 mile stretch of farm to market road, a straightaway and it’s not like I was hands off, but again, it was just coincidentally straight. The thing is, it’s crowned too, so I was making steering...

I’m pushing 4700 miles on my Dark Horse now and aside from the bitter pill replacing the tires, I’m digging Black Betty. I’ve had one screen reboot on the center stack, and I forgot what I did before hand. Otherwise, she loves to run, has killer brakes, hugs curves well. She’s rapidly...

door jamb reads 33psi, and in the manual there is some guidance for track use...

It always default to trip meter, unless superseded by the seat belt splash screen until it goes away. They only way I have found - h/t @roadpilot to alter this is by de-selecting every other screen besides the one you want, because, whichever widget you want to display is guaranteed to be the...
