  1. Tailgate Damper

    LOL! serves him right for adding that garbage to the hatch, or, if it's not his vehicle not using a prop rod (like a broomstick handle) to support it. The factory gas struts were not designed to support that added weight, but at least it looks cool when you're stuck in stop and go traffic and...
  2. Buying a 2021 Lariat Supercrew FX4.... Good deal?

    I sure hope you did not let them soak you for the bogus "Predelivery Service Charge" as FoMoCo pays the dealer for this service for every vehicle they deliver.
  3. Buying a 2021 Lariat Supercrew FX4.... Good deal?

    Indeed, as another member posted, if they don't get you price wise on the floor, they'll make it up in the finance office. This is why the "finance guy" is the craftiest salesperson they have on their team. When I special ordered my 2020 I had made it absolutely clear to the salesperson that...
  4. Buying a 2021 Lariat Supercrew FX4.... Good deal?

    Ford's X-Plan is an excellent route to take, but be advised that if you join the Mustang Club of America (as I did) to take advantage if it that there is a waiting period. If memory serves me correct it's 90 days after you become a member, but I may be wrong. In my case the waiting period was...
  5. Mobil quick lube refused to change my oil

    I just did my first oil change on my 2020 4x2 last Saturday and did not need to remove the left front wheel to access the splash shield, though the 3" lift I added months ago did help. Glad that Ford is taking cues from other manufacturers (most likely Asian) and provided the oil drippage...
  6. Has your salesman tried to charge you 2x for shipping and delivery?

    Indeed, he is very knowledgeable, another 'Tube channel I used to watch was "Earl Stewart on Cars", also very informative.
  7. Has your salesman tried to charge you 2x for shipping and delivery?

    Both my F-series were built at Twin-Cities, an '81 XLT 4x4 Flareside with a 351 "Mary" and a '86 Lariat 4x4 Styleside short bed with a 351W/4V. The '81 sure was a dog and lived up to its nickname "Mary"...lol
  8. Has your salesman tried to charge you 2x for shipping and delivery?

    I'm sure there is some sort of State regulatory department which would oversee this, check with your local government. When I special ordered my 2020 Lariat back in Aug. 2019 I used Ford's X-Plan pricing program. I made it very clear to the salesperson that if they were to slap a "Phony...
  9. Unusual situation

    Will pictures do? BTW we've been undergoing a cold snap here in Honolulu, the temperature @ 0600 today was a frigid 68 degrees. People are dressed up as though they are going on an Arctic expedition, brrrrr...lol
  10. Unusual situation

    Excellent advice! I've done all maintenance and repairs on all family vehicles since 1976, been a professional mechanic since then. And yes, I've seen some interesting things in oil sumps...and in vehicles/marine craft since.
  11. Has your salesman tried to charge you 2x for shipping and delivery?

    An unscrupulous Chevy dealer tried that on my nephew, I tagged along with him at my sister's request as he shopped for a 2019 Silverado. We sat down to negotiate a price, true to most dealership form there was a "phony Monroeney" which listed an additional shipping and handling charge. I pointed...
  12. RAPID RED Ranger Club Thread

    Beautiful, and it's a SuperCab also! Congrats...
  13. Entries into FordPass app

    Does anyone know how to attach a file into this app regarding service history, or if it is possible at all? I thought I had read someones response to my "unusual situation" post and this subject was mentioned, I've done a forum search and came up with nothing. The app itself (updated 12/16/20)...
  14. Unusual situation

    Kinda "salting" the truck, if you will...however island environment does a very good job of that already. Besides Honolulu is infested with idiot motorists, for that reason I tool around in my beater '02 Honda CR-V, it's proven effective at pushing "Smart" cars driven by not so smart drivers...
  15. Unusual situation

    Thanks to all who responded, your comments were useful and humorous. For what it's worth I bought a Motorcraft FL-910S filter and 6 quarts of Mobil1 5W-30 full synthetic from Autozone today. I was surprised they had the filter in stock and bought a Motorcraft part to appease the Ford Gods...
  16. Unusual situation

    Some members may not believe this but I'd like to know exactly when and what does the first scheduled maintenance entails for my 2020 Lariat. Presently the truck has a whopping 260 miles (yes, you read that right) and was delivered on Jan. 18, 2020. All I can find is that the engine oil and...
  17. Hawaii roll call

    Howzit Chris! What's the specs on you 5G? Here's mine:
  18. NFL, what team are you a fan of?

    My younger brother is one of those misguided guys, he is patriotic to the Patriots, his teenage son raves about the Ravens...perhaps that explains why he drives a Ridgeline...
  19. NFL, what team are you a fan of?

    Most Hawaii residents identify themselves with west-coast teams, I am a dyed in the wool Forty-Niners fan, have been ever since my Dad explained the game to me long ago. Watched a 49's vs LA Rams back in '74 (when the Rams were still in CA), @ Candle Stick park. It was a high point to my first...
