The $25 cargo net from Amazon works perfectly.

I wanted a Mini Cooper since I was a young kid. When BMW introduced theirs, I immediately ordered one. From the git-go, owners complained about a whining sound from the power steering. BMW claimed it was normal and not an issue. Fast forward maybe 15 years or more after the first production, a...

https://fordauthority.com/2023/02/2020-2022-ford-explorer-recalled-over-vehicle-rollaway-risk/ Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2020-2022 Ford Explorer models over a vehicle rollaway risk. The defect: in affected vehicles, an unintentional powertrain control module (PCM) reset may occur...

How about a cheap data plan with a provider that allows you to create a hotspot with your phone? My Google Fi plan allows this although I’ve rarely needed it.

I had an appointment and arrived a few minutes early. Took 1:45 which means they let it sit for more than an hour.

I’ll bet part of the decision making process was that replacing 3s with 4s under warranty would be an admonition that they screwed up. It would expose them to having to replace every 3, broken or not.

I’ve avoided Forscan for fear of bricking my ST (I’m probably fully capable of doing so). A friend has Forscan and tinkers with his F-250. He wants to hook up to mine and help me make some small changes (increase the number of flashes with the turn signal, for example). My question is whether...

As I’m sure you’ve understood, there’s nothing to “look into”. It would be covered by the recall, not the warranty.

The recall (other than for Police Interceptors) is a software update ONLY. They will repair a broken bolt under the recall, ONE TIME ONLY.

For the first time since updating, I went for a road trip. I noticed what’s apparently a warning of moving across a lane stripe. It doesn’t matter whether I’m actually changing lanes (with signal flashing) or not. It seems the sound comes from the right rear of the cabin. I’ve never heard...

Front camera washer and maybe back camera washer too. Center console storage light. Some talk about the lights in the cup holders. Second row seat tray. They keep taking little stuff out of a $60,000 vehicle. Very frustrating. Others will be along to give you a complete list.

Each year, they “de-content” the ST. In your position, I’d grab the 2020 before someone else does.

I stand corrected. I found it can be done but it’s even more convoluted than with Alexa. This post provides the trick to getting your account linked. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/adding-fordpass-to-google-home.11514/post-286538

I expect not. I have the impression Ford and Alexa are tight.

Thanks for pointing out this integration. I found it rather convoluted to get working but did manage it. Pretty cool to start the ST by yelling at Alexa.

My USB update was eventless and the XML file was placed on the drive, as expected. Uploading it to Ford also worked as expected. What I don’t understand is why a system that can report the vehicle’s mileage, tire pressure, oil life, fuel level, etc. can’t also report the current Sync version.
