just tested the ones on a '23 Escape, they're not capacitive, but boy the center two of the four were weird, they only responded when i poked them with a pen, which doesn't give me tons of hope with the Mustang ones
they have this kind of thing on the new transits and 2023 escapes too, i call them "button buttons". they provide a light tactile "click" but the whole row moves at once, and i'm honestly not sure how they determine which button was pushed. the silver bit at the bottom has nothing to do with how...
something from Spotify. if i forget to make a special playlist, just my liked songs, but i can guarantee that Guardian: Ghost from Sonic Frontiers and something from Need for Speed: The Run will be on it
if you're worried about the reliability, here's some information i found about brake-by-wire to hopefully ease your worries
it's been around since about 1998, mainly used on hybrids and EVs, so it's had about 25 years of developments and improvements, and all systems have a feature where if...
there's 2 ways to figure out if you have the reduced capacity amplifier
1. check the window sticker, and if it has a line with the cost "-$100" you probably have it
2. be that one guy at the car meet that blasts music only to realize it's harder to blow out your speakers
though there is an...
BBW is on a lot of other Fords too, Bronco Sport/Escape/Maverick, F-150, Bronco
It's no problem, i like to keep you guys informed
BBW is for the actual brakes, the parking brake uses an electric motor like the GT500 did
I don't know, honestly. i thought i had a european S650 VIN, but it and...
looks like the actual shifter mechanism is a shared part (MT82's starts with FR3Z, TR3160's starts with MR3Z), so in theory, any shift knob that worked on the S550 should also work on the S650, even though Ford changed something about the stock one and it's a new part
i think its more so dealers don't have to order the whole cat-back system unless they need to, because i remember a GT500 that came into my dealer and we needed to order the whole system 3 times before the issue was solved. those mufflers are super heavy, too. can't imagine how much that cost...
I found this in Ford's ECat (electronic catalog) system
Passenger side headers are the same, but it seems the driver side one is new
as for chassis, it's basically all new, including subframes, crossmembers, most suspension components besides the sway bars and their links and probably some...
Today i checked ECat to see if Ford finally added S650 details to it yet, and they have, so i'm sharing some information with you guys
1. S650 part numbers that are new start with "PR3Z"
2. Ford is really weird about what has prices and what doesn't for the time being
3. The fuel system is the...
they never do show it on the build and price, they just tack it on to the cost, advertise the pre-tax price, and leave the oh so wonderful surprise until the invoice is generated
here's the previous and current price lists, ("PL420" is from earlier in the month, "PL425" is from the 19th), you can see in there that the only real change (apart from some formatting) is the addition of the GT manual gas guzzler tax
this gives me hope for a unique DH keyfob back, maybe Ford listened to people's confusion when the Bullitt and Mach 1 didn't have unique fobs and puddle lamps
imo, the only way painted stripes are worth the extra Ford charges is the Tuxedo Black and if you garage queen or PPF it (i may be biased about the Tuxedo Black because that's what my mom's Gen 1 Raptor was painted)
maybe this is a stretch, but this could be useful for hot days when you need the AC to cool off the interior quickly. also may be useful for scaring off people snooping around nearby or just scaring people in general. i definitely like this feature, even though i dont think ill use it that much...
