First improved thing about the 2022?

[NickTheEnforcer]

I dont have a problem with the plastic push-pins on my '19 at this point. It takes a few minutes to properly remove them. I thought for sure a few would have broken by now. The only concern I would have with the zinc coated bolts is that after time both sides of the threads will rust out. I would probably coat with some white lith grease periodically. I'd much rather have seen the oil filter relocated to a better under hood spot.

I would rather the push pins. Pop them out and pop them back in.

Have you seen the deletion items on the 2022 Chevy Colorado? I assume not!

with as few features as the colorado has it can't be a very long list unless they start cutting things out like wheels.

Down the road I guess some type of metal threaded inserts would be the 'replacement' along with re-enforced grommets for the liner. Seems complicated.

Lariat Tremor makes up for most if not all these deletions ?

I don't see them seeing much vibration or stress, so a few ft lbs is probably more than adequate.

I reinstalled them with just a tiny bit more force than when I removed, but being mindful not to crush the liner material. If I had to guess, the Ford tech that may end up doing it in the future will not be so gentle...

Ford Tech preferred tool for 10mm bolts.

I was worried given stories I’ve read, that the filter would be on stupid tight from the factory. But it was not horrible, and twisted off with a cap wrench without too much fuss.
