Good to see. I've been waiting for one here in the US.
Looks like one maybe in the works?

Aren't the points about to stop accumulating? I thought it was this month sometime. I've already stopped using it.....replaced it with a hotel card that gives 3% back on gas, which was the main reason I got Ford Pass (on top of using it for 10% back on Ford maintenance).
I'm afraid I may be in this same boat. I've already had 2 warranty repairs (valve body and CDF).
Truck was fine for about 25-30K miles and now it's sluggish again and I'm noticing more odd shifts (mainly abrupt downshifts). I felt like the sluggishness went away with the valve body repair the...
The headlight flash issue made me think of this....quirky electrical ish.
Has anyone noticed that their seat belt alarm is sometimes LOUDER than others? Mine is usually normal, but every so often, it's WAY louder. Almost startling.
Anyone else?
I haven't been in any newer ones, but the Honda Pilots are super underrated in my opinion.
I have a 2005 that I handed down to my daughter and I used to have an MDX (ex wife has it now, lol).
If you held a gun to my head and made me pick, I'd probably take my 05 Pilot over my 22 Ranger. If...
I want one!!! That's my dream camper. I saw one for sale recently in TN and should have pulled the trigger but didn't.....
As to OP, yes, it's speed. That's the biggest suck on the Ranger's MPG imo....wind is also a MFer.
If you drop 75 to 60-65 you'll see a noticeable difference with (and...
Just had a service done at 63K. I was certain my rears were worn out, but they were at 5mm and fronts were 8mm. The tech did mention the pads were wearing unevenly, but he said that's common....apparently the Escape brakes are notorious. Still on my original Hankooks also.
WOW!!!
That's 1000% my old truck! Where did you buy it? I traded it in New Mexico.
Hate to tell you, but I traded it when I drained the trans fluid and found chunks of metal. Big chunks. I'll go back and find pics. Dealer shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do unless...
Gotcha. Small rock makes sense. I did back up and pull forward about 10 different times when it first happened. Musta been super stuck. First time for everything I guess.....
Last night, I drove a short distance to go fishing. Fished for 20ish minutes, no fish, got back in my truck to leave and the front passenger wheel was screaming like a liberal at the sight of a Tesla.
It was metal on metal....loud screeching like a brake pad worn down to metal on the rotor. I...
Well that absolutely sucks. I called Ford back in November/December (when I was under 60K) to try and extend my warranty and I was very specifically told I had to wait until I had 70K miles (my current warranty expires at 75). And so in the meantime, they changed the requirement to under 60K...
Damn. You feel a difference going from 60 to 65s???
You'll get different responses in terms of the FPT voiding the warranty....majority will say you're ok.
As far as the tune itself, go for it. You'll love it. I don't know that I've noticed any significant changes in MPG (I also use 93) but...
LOTS of variables in MPG. Elevation, hills, octane, acceleration, distance of trips can all make a significant difference.
I routinely get 22-25 mpg with 93 octane and a cap. Stock 265/60/18 Hankooks and stock stance. I've gotten up to 30MPG on long highway trips, however, it's super flat where...
I currently have 60K+ miles on stock Hankooks. 265/60/18.
For my next set, I think I'm going Eibach all around and would like a slightly larger tire. I'd like a firmer, smoother ride and to beef up the stance a bit. So I'm having the common 265/65 vs 275/65 debate.
I've read numerous...
The valve body and cdf issues are for trans built up until August of 2022.
I had both issues repaired (separately) under the TSB AND went through the EGR replacement also.
It sucked. It's better now....and I recently installed the Ford Tune, which made it even better.
I've been saying for a...
They're simply trying to get every penny they possibly can out of you. That's the service advisor's job basically - I think they may even get a commission at some places.
I would drain/fill the transmission fluid. And the diff. New metal, lots of moving parts, I'd rather do it early just to get...
