    Post your Dragy times.

    My 20" wheel and tire weighed 70.8 pounds. Don't have 21" to compare to though. The 18" weighed 59.6 pounds. Cheers.

    Post your Dragy times.

    Yes, what a weight difference. But they are noticeably spongy being a 65 series tire.

    Rolling backward holding brake ?

    I start my ST and reverse almost immediately and it has never rolled back an inch until I take my foot off the brake. I also just bled my brakes and wow does the system pump fluid fast. Way faster than any other vehicle I have owned.

    New lug nuts

    I was thinking of going with red, but stuck with conservative black.

    Which ST SUV Experience location did you sign up for?

    Hey, you definitely can attend. My wife and I drove our ST from North Bay, Ontario to Asheville in April. We had a great time. Just register and plan your trip. Cheers.

    Terrible weekend with catastrophic ST failure

    Okay, I will admit when I was wrong. The bad weekend has turned into a bad month. Sorry for your troubles.

    Canadian Winters

    Hi and welcome, I went a different route and picked up a set of XLT aluminum rims with stock 18" rubber for under a $1000 CDN with the intentions of putting winters on them. I am currently killing off the other rubber first. Just a thought. Cheers, Ron

    Real world mpg

    Accurate to 10' is great for geochaching and finding you car after hiking, but not accurate at all for calculating the change in distance over a few seconds (I would think that your Garmin would sample more frequently than a few times a minute). At 60 mph your vehicle should move 88' per second...

    Real world mpg

    Straight and level, with good satellite coverage, should give you a fairly accurate speed. Outside of those conditions, gps information would be suspect in my experience. For measuring distances on highways we use a meter reader connected to the vehicle and is calibrated to suit the individual...

    Real world mpg

    The odometer reading would be directly related to the speedometer reading, that would be how it calculated the distance travelled. Circumference of tires along with number of revolutions. Looking online it appears that thw 275/45ZR21s are about 3.4% smaller than the thw 255/55R20s. If Ford did...

    Real world mpg

    Even 5% off would mean your warranty would end fairly prematurely and likely impact resale values.

    Real world mpg

    Hey, are you suggesting the vehicle odometer is of by 15%. That would be far more of a scandal than any of other complaints about the vehicle.

    Hubby finally got me in a Ford ... LOL

    Welcome and I think you made a great choice.

    Ford to cut 8,000 jobs

    Guess it will depend on the source of power. Here in Ontario, more than 50% of our power come from nuclear. Therefore we have excess power in the evenings when most are sleeping, so a good time to charge batteries. That being said, if you are relying on solar and wind, that "excess" power may...

    Terrible weekend with catastrophic ST failure

    Sorry, not arguing about the title. Just wondering what you call it when you need some warranty work on a vehicle versus, say a tornado?

    Enhancing all the badging?

    The red letters look better on the rapid red versus the blue in the video. I am tempted to do it to my rapid red too.

    Premium gasoline

    Partly left, but mostly Trudeau.
