It is a common old wives tale that the Magnuson-Moss Act will protect them from voiding of warranty for modifications that are clearly outside of what may be considered "OE replacement parts" in design or intent. For example, if you install a tune on your car, you can pretty much kiss your...

Has anyone used these for something other than service? I just noticed that they expire in a year. Due to Covid, they extended my expiration until April 2021. But due to this Covid business, I rather just do oil changes myself. Has anyone bought accessories or parts like oil filter, air...

This is what i like: 500Hz is 0dB, 125, 2k, 4k are about -4dB (for reference).

LOL... the honeymoon lasted all of 2 days for me. Then I found glass in the door, ripples in the sheetmetal, crudely fitting parts and a bunch of other problems.

Normal. There is no reason for it other than they are cheaply constructed.

The seats aren't really supportive and don't have any significant side bolters to be considered "sport" seats but certainly there should be no physical shifting of the seat! Maybe check the edges of the seat to make sure the material is fastened properly. These are really cheap seats and it's...

So is there any fine tuning involved? For instance, with this updated tune, do you then drive around and send in logs for another adjustment? Or is an off-the shelf tune all you get. I'd be definitely surprised if all you get is an off-the-shelf 91-93 map. Then again, that price including...

Disappointed with the handling and acceleration. But I was coming from a much smaller BMW crossover. I quickly have come to terms with the change and appreciate it's qualities considering it's a relatively large 3 row SUV.

I'd be extremely surprised if 2021 Explorer gets Sync 4. Ford has it's hands full just producing these. It's been almost a year and no OTA updates? Sync 3/carplay/android auto still buggy as hell and unoptimized? I wouldn't feel bad. The Explorer will likely get Sync 4 at the mid-cycle...

2015 BMW X1. Miss the ride and handling but love the new tech.

Getting a system vs. custom is always an ongoing question. For me, a system like Borla is much better because they've designed it and usually will sound better with minimal drone. A custom exhaust can be hit-or-miss in terms of the final result even if they used common design principles...

I have a roof box and have the Ford crossbars. Just be aware that the recommended rooftop weight limit is rather low... I think 50lb with sunroof?

I'd give up the notion of a Sync 4 update. The question is, can Ford update the existing Sync 3 to make better use of the 10.1 portrait screen. Android auto and Carplay both have dynamic scaling capabilities but Ford is not implementing them. It would be nice if you could customize font size...

Ford just released a performance tune for the Ranger. I've got to believe one for the Explorer is in the works. Again, worth it to wait. Most just want a tune for the stock setup anyways.

That's one reason I'm not interested in a tune at the moment. It seems like most are pretty vague on information when you go to their website. There is also not a lot of feedback from users out there, understandably. I'm not in any rush. Will just wait it out. I don't have the time to call...

Hi Ky, I'm in the Cleveland area as well. I see a lot of Explorers now, including ST's.

Nope. Never had much of any issues on any of my cars before 10 years or 100,000 miles. This is my first Ford though so we'll just have to see.

The beam pattern is not good and not uniform. I agree with Vash... it's not impressive. The IIHS comments: Low beams On the straightaway, visibility was fair on the right side of the road and inadequate on the left side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves and inadequate on...

Were you using Carplay? I have had this happen multiple times with carplay. If I soft reboot Sync (hold down power and FFWD buttons) it boots up fine and then I can replug the phone back into the usb cable.
