    ST vs. The Competition

    Okay, the tune thing makes more sense to me now. I wasn't aware Ford Performance was offering their own tunes. While the HP and torque gains seem minimal, it appears they also change shift points so I can see how it might make for a more responsive ride even if not crazy faster. Also it...

    Ford Frustratingly Keeping Good Stuff for Lincoln - PHEV Aviator

    I haven't driven a PHEV yet, but I bet I'm sure that 630 lb/ft torque has something to do with that equation. Not to mention, EV's don't struggle with traction the same way. Take the Tesla Plaid....looks like crap (IMO) but very consistent 9 second car because it just hooks right off the line...

    ST vs. The Competition

    Yup, always a balance between (more) performance and warranty. Can you better explain the bolded part? Is the "Ford tune" still something that ZFG does that changes shift points in the engine and/or transmission so it manages the HP & torque differently and provides a more responsive ride...

    ST vs. The Competition

    Thank you for this! I will start doing more research but assume it’s safe to assume you have to reflash to the factory tune for warranty service. Does Ford have a way to detect the PCM has been previously flashed, even with the stock tune in place?

    New here, so maybe this has already been discussed and considered. Ford issued a recall for camera systems going to a blue screen; however, they have yet to actually provide a fix. We received a call from our dealer notifying us and had them setup to come to our house to do it. The morning of...

    ST vs. The Competition

    Our ST has been nothing but smiles and good times. One of the better vehicles I have owned. I'm new here, so forgive my stupidity -- but I've seen referenced a few times a $600 mod for 100hp+. Please please tell me more. That is a phenomenal bang for the buck!

    Things you wish you had the dealership roll into loan

    Looks like this thread was resurrected from the dead (10/2021). Interest rates have changed drastically. Right now, about 5% is good with a local credit union or bank trying to earn your business. Other less hungry places may be 7-8%. All assuming good credit of course. I saw Ford had 0%...
