I don’t get to post in this thread as I haven’t done anything since the first month of owning it but today I did do something with my 21 Crew XLT 302a, I paid it off.

I’ve been very aggressive with payments and got it to a point where it just made financial sense for me. For now, I am waiting about 5-8k more miles so I can jump back in this thread with new, larger tires. ;)
Congrats!?

Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. Threaten to sue them.
next week im going to another shop and let them look at what the dealer would not. then im going to get it in writing and put with my other documentation of the issues that started before the addition of shocks, springs, and struts. Then try another dealer and see if they are more ethical or just try to hose me like the last one did. I expect them too lol. Ford Customer "dont" Care is aware. supposedly started a case for my truck. So when the next dealer pulls shenanigans I will go back to FCDC and tell them what dealer to visit. Likely end up waiting weeks and get lots of run around. But - this will make the 4th trip for transmission issues without it being solved. That means I would have a strong case for Texas lemon law. Id prefer Ford to be honest and just admit the transmission has issues and fix it. But Ford will be Ford.

how do you like the bfg trails ? Ive never tried them but considering a set for my older ranger.
So far so good. Had them on about a week and they drive straight down the road, they're quiet on the pavement and have handled the southern California storms and wet freeways with no problem. I liked the semi aggressive look and the white letters so I'm happy right now. Hopefully I can get 50k out of these.
 

Friday yet?

Rear pads. Inners wore much faster, probably in part from my parking brake cables having seized up. The slide pins were still moving fine on both calipers. Took them apart and put on some fresh lube to hopefully keep these new pads from doing the same.
Mileage?
