I've owned MANY vehicles with auto stop/start, and have put many, many miles on most of them. While I despise auto stop/start, I can unequivocally say that I have NEVER experienced one single engine failure or starter failure. Further, I have NEVER known a single person who has experienced...

Auto stop/start is what helps Ford meet government fuel mileage standards. If they don't meet them, they get to pay a penalty: The Gas Guzzler Tax (GGT). They are simply passing that penalty along to you. A combined estimated mileage of less than 22.5 mpg triggers the GGT. The further you...

Except for the BATFE. Instead of a government agency, the need to be a STORE! :crackup:

Courtesy of the EPA, my friend. Be careful who you vote for.

No, you have to blame the engineers for that. :)

There are far too many variables involved to accurately predict anything, even from week to week. I'm in IT (director level today) and have ONLY supported automotive manufacturing plants for nearly my entire career (1989 to present), with the vast majority of that being Ford Motor Company. I...

Ordered a GT Premium last week. Submitted info for the tracking list, just to make the anxious ones happy. LOL.

LOL Back when I ordered a 2015 F150, I was giving folks play-by-play when their truck would be hitting trim/chassis/final. My company manufactures a major component for roughly 80% of all North American market Ford and Lincoln vehicles. I actually walked the line @ Dearborn Truck Plant for...

My dad bought a 1964.5 Mustang right after he and my mom got married and my brother was on the way (he's older). The shame is, he traded in a 1961 Corvette. :)

Order your car then get on with life. It will show up. No need to consume your life or time counting days on a calendar. It will get here. I know this because I have bought or leased 18 new vehicles since 2002, a good number of them being ordered (including Mustangs and F-Series trucks).

OP said he was doing 15 to 20 MPH while driving through a parking lot. He was not trying to park in a spot. I have 360 degree cameras on other vehicles -- I don't engage them at 20 MPH while driving THROUGH a parking lot. I only enable the front one AS I'm parking and want to make sure I...

Proper diet and exercise should help address that.

That depends solely upon exactly what it says in your signed and countersigned buyer's order. In most cases, dealerships are no more obligated to sell you the vehicle than you are obligated to buy it. If you believe a dealership can be forced to sell you a car you ordered, then would you...

Honestly, I would not do business with a dealership that was willing to nix a deal over $215 that they know full well I'm not obligated to pay (i.e., Ford price protection). Close to 20 years ago, we moved into the area we live now. When I was in need our first new vehicle, I walked into the...

Not sure this is allowed or not, so please delete if not: 2024+ MUSTANG STRUT TOWER PLATES – Anchor Room (anchor-room.com)

No, it doesn't depend. OP specifically stated that he was referring to the base price going up (as reflected on the window sticker) compared to base price when HE ordered HIS vehicle. Bottom line, NO, he's not required to pay the higher price. Period. End of story.

Read through the forums. The current version is working with certain 2024 vehicles now, and it seems like there are working in the direction of adding more. It's not a simple thing.

You're not even obligated to buy the car. Walk away if you don't come to an agreement with the dealership.

I've been using FORSCAN since 2016 on the last 3 F-Series trucks I've owned. I've been using the OBDLink MX Bluetooth Scan Tool (Android and Windows) That's been replaced with the OBDLink MX+ (Android, iPhone, and Windows). If I didn't own the MX, the MX+ would be the only one I would even...

1969 Chevrolet C10 pickup. Straight 6 cylinder with a 'three on the tree'. Wish it was still around.
