Just like realtors say... location, location, location. In my business I deal with these claims several times a year. Once they get in the truck they leave urine trails for others to follow. Park away as far as possible from their current home and walk. Rats naturally hate running in open...

Sorry I didn’t see this before my post. Glad it worked out ! Still a head scratcher, from the dealer perspective. They might be trying to hit a unit sales target and did this to inflate their numbers, just a guess.

Red flags all over this offer. Why on earth would a dealer go through all that hassle ? They could simply discount that truck by the amount and sell it. Makes no sense to do title work. Once you sign your car over they own it, they can sell it back to you at any price they want. The fact you...

I see a lot of damage in my line of work, it is matter of degree. In my humble opinion, the OP has great looking wheels, no doubt, it is the paint that might be the unacceptable condition, time will tell. The tire guy/gal is just whipping along doing their thing. It could be the paint is...

I am with Nick on this... thinking this is a paint quality issue. The are some serious OCD challenged folks on this board, pointing this out brings all their rage filled angst, as they fear the runaway shopping cart more than death itself. My opinion, chill.. the truck looks great, it really...

Think of it as your Ranger’s birthmark ? Two positives come to mind.. 1) You will always have this secret way of identifying your truck should it be stolen or in an ownership dispute. 2) Imperfections like this will cure your OCD as you will learn to live with them, that first scratch or dent...

So I just picked this up the Ford dealers parts department, 69.99 !! And has a AGM setting. Poked my head in the service bay on my way out, told them what I was doing, they said they can give me a new battery only if the current one fails, they will check it as much as possible, weekly if I...

I will go use them as well if there continues to be an issue. Funny I thought about the same thing you actually did. The dealership makes a sale in a warranty job as well, that to me is the head scratcher. If in doubt, secure the customers loyalty for the price of a battery.

That is what I was hoping for, a simple replacement, it was nice you were afforded the benefit of the doubt. Once the new battery was installed did everything including the Auto Stop Start work again ?

No they just put it on the Rotunda machine and it passed the load test and they sent me on my way, they said the battery should be fully charged. So I went to my office one mile away from the dealer, worked for two hours, opened the door and low and behold another black screen stating systems...

Thanks for the link !

Thanks for the link ! I have known you have been using it for awhile. So does it plug into a normal garage outlet ? Do you have to pop the hood each night to attach it ? I have several very wealthy clients that use these as their countless toys sit in the garage, just never thought I would...

I believe this to be true, and maybe the long drive will recharge it. In AZ, our batteries crap out all the time, I fully expect it, just hoping not to have to jump through a lot of hoops for another warranty battery. My time is worth more than several trips to the dealer. I know some of the...

Hey Everyone, So here is the scoop. I live in Arizona and as had been mentioned several times on several threads, the desert eats batteries. I am about to take my bi-monthly AZ to CA trip. For the past few months my auto stop start has not worked based on my short daily commute. Honestly I...

That is exactly what I was thinking... living in the desert it is sure to bring dust into the engine area. Good to know it can be done, so thanks to the OP for the tip. What I love about this forum is that I realize how low on the OCD spectrum I am..lol

You just bought this beauty don’t let a bunch of auto hypochondriacs (just kidding to my catch can buds) spoil your honeymoon. I personally have had no issues, but I do take a lot of long interstate highway trips every couple of months, which will burn off any short trip natural fuel oil...

One more... this is more about safety than psychology. People equate a heavy door to quality, not so. I was fortunate to visit the IIHS in person and watched brand new cars get wrecked. Metals have come a long way in terms of energy absorption, that cheap tin sounding door might save your...

If it really bugs you, here is an inexpensive fix under 20 bucks. The doors are light and there seems not to be much sound deadening material upfront.

Staying in the OP topic lane and setting aside the lease vs buy debate... This was an example of a good deal, 102 per month less than Tremor AND included a service plan. Why? Higher residual value and paid 3k less on front end. This is a true apples to apples comparison. Over 36 months 3,672...

It is like wine, each model year is different. In some ways better in other ways worse. Since I have a 2019 vintage year edition I’d like to think Ford was out to make a great first impression. The secret of happiness in general is to stop comparing to something else. You got what you got and...
