Awesome writeup @roket thanks for sharing.
Not just for y’all, but for the purchaser too. Then they have oddball stuff like a forced tear down, meaning you pay up front because they haven’t “determined if the vehicle has been abused or modified”.
You’d better have EVERY maintenance record...
At that weight, things will deteriorate pretty quick.
1) tires. If we think the Trofeos wear out quick, these guys will be keeping tire suppliers in business.
2) suspension. I have buddy with an F150 Lightning. He’s on his 2nd set of shocks at 27k miles.
3) Remember this is a passenger car...
I’m going to moderately, yet respectfully disagree. I leave mine on navigation, which I find to be a big improvement over sync3, and I can still see radio stuff to the right. The nav screen is detailed enough that I can make out upcoming road names, it zooms in at major intersections, then...
’24 Dark Horse is the coldest A/C I’ve experienced short of a walk in cold room or freezer. I’m saying have to turn up the temp to 74 when ambient is 108 to stay warm enough.
Once I got some saddle time finding the right temp range, it’s been great.
I would like physical controls but I’m...
Deep sleep mode just disables remote features. I got my first deep sleep alert on my 2017 Raptor last week- stock battery. Started and drove fine, took her to the beach the next day.
take a 30 minute drive before doing anything else, shut down for a few hours and see if everything is back to...
8 of 20 vehicles I’ve owned have been black and 3 of the current 5 are black.

upkeep is a bit more intensive than lighter colors but it’s nowhere near a Harley Davidson decked out with chrome.
Depending on why you want the car, black and white have absolutely zero...
I have to admit... I didn’t even notice the cigarette lighter port & cover until this post :-|
Maybe just pull the cover and replace with a usb type charger adapter.
Good on you for driving while driving and fiddling with the unfamiliar screen options while NOT driving. I wish more would pay such sufficient care to driving .
This discussion is a microcosm of what Ford has to deal with when developing new products and features. IMO, the center stack is...
If you / all passengers are belted. If any of you are not, the splash screen is persistent and you cannot change away from the splash screen.
switching the minder off stops the seat belt chime, not the splash screen.
Belt is usually the top 3 things I do when I get in - hit start if I...
I’d like to think I wouldn’t drive it after it did something like that, given I have a few other vehicles in the stable but ... I probably would have too.
We shouldn’t... but I get it.
I’d strongly suggest getting to a service department.
Holy Cow! How old are you folks ! :-P
They’re loud in my wife’s Lincoln too.

eh... maybe 1.5 days.
I can’t disagree with this and especially since you can lose the center screen and not have any climate control.
That’s pretty slick, I may need to look into this.
that’s a good idea regardless of where you go.
Here we disagree. You don’t have to disclose every single, solitary thing on what you were/are doing with the car, but if you tell them you’re running to H-E-B to get some groceries and they get telemetry showing sustained redline operation, you...
I mean, if you brick something, yes.
and if you make an ... inarticulate change, maybe - ex.: F150’s had an optional subwoofer by kicker, and that option disabled auto stop/start - as well as battery management system. So if you disabled BMS with a forscan mod and it was found, yeah, you...
