Yes, many counties are indeed enacting Disaster Declarations only because "Enacting the declaration in advance activates the county’s emergency management plan to take lifesaving precautions and authorizes more aid if needed." In those areas, it's expected the population to temporarily double...
I'd love to have my old 1978 Chevy back. It was exactly as you described, except that I opted to move the shifter to the floor. I bought it new in 1978, it was kept in the family about 20 years. The original paint color was iffy. I had it painted in the late 80's. The before picture was...
Strictly a random thought/opinion. Since the F series has been the best-selling truck for 47 years, maybe Ford doesn't advertise to avoid taking sales away from the F series.
I never had that many CD's, but I have ripped all of mine as well. I have almost all of my MP3's on an iPod, and could listen to them that way. But I've found that Pandora or Spotify is my go-to for music. It's much easier, and I can select what and who I want to listen to a lot easier than...
I replaced mine at about 40k with Michelin Defenders. I could have gotten more miles out of them, but I don't see a need to squeeze every mile out of them.
I had that happen with my 2019 Ranger, but it never went away. Maps reverted to Detroit Michigan. The dealer replaced the APIM under my extended warranty.
I didn't even know those existed until a few years ago. I was waiting in line for a school pickup (early enough that most drivers turned off their vehicles). When it came time to go, the car next to me wouldn't start. A guy comes out with one of those, and got it started.
Never have liked...
Have to agee with that. I subscribed to the WiFi Hotspot for a year or so because I had pickup duty for my granddaughter. She liked to use my iPad which doesn't have a modem. When those pickup duties ceased, I cancelled my plan.
Although it's my 'daily driver', that's just mainly a 50 mile radius from where I live. I never make it to any of the mileage limits for an oil change anymore, instead working with time limits.
Reading this thread scares me - a little bit. This is the first vehicle I've owned that has a turbo. Is the turbo actually in use all the time, or just under hard acceleration?
If the map updates were still free, I'd gladly update - just because. But I always use navigation via CarPlay - Google and Apple keep their maps updated for FREE.
I remember this became a topic in 2020 (?) when owners were making updates via Forscan. I never realized that my 2019 Lariat was missing the heated seat icons until then. Tried to get the dealer to acknowledge they should be there, but to no avail. So I corrected it myself. For those that...
Totally agree! I had a 2012 Ford Edge Limited, and the ambient lighting was really visible in multiple areas. With my 2019 Lariat, it's hardly noticeable, and just a trim gimmick.
I noticed that my touchless lock/unlock quit working except for the driver's door. Thought maybe something got reset, but I went through all the settings, and there's nothing there. So today was browsing the forum, and saw that it's probably a battery issue. Since mine is 4+ years old, went...
I had a 2012 Edge and it was great - sold it when I got my Ranger. We'll be in the market for a new mid-sized SUV for my wife, and would gladly consider the Edge again. But it's being discontinued and hasn't really had any updates in a few years. We will definitely consider the Escape.
