Im sure it'll be perfectly fine on a stock tune. The one's having the issue's are tuned I believe. The ST's can be bought RWD as well with a slight higher gear ratio vs the Platinum, havent heard any issues with those. It would be annoying tho getting the car towed to dealer on a random time...

My 20 Explorer Platinum has the same gap on the same panel. Im pretty sure Ford already got an earful from these things including the interior gaps from all the reviewers. Whatever, its no biggie. Doesnt affect the driveability nor 99% of the people will notice. I only noticed it when I was...

More than likely, next to nothing BUT it'll be running a lot more consistent so it'll feel faster since the power wont drop like it does currently due to heat soak.

Congrats on the new car but I mean... what did you expect? You went from a truck running mid 12's to an SUV running very high 13's. Far as the lag, you still have a breaking point to cross and computer learning. It'll get better with miles. The issue IMO is the 10 speed tranny finding gears...

BMW did a test regarding that, which is the best way to get the most MPG. Accelerating and shifting below 2400 RPM and getting to the speed limit quicker netted the best results vs slower pedal driving. From my experience in my scenerio on stop and go around town, Eco mode was NOT better vs...

On street, you might be better off in normal mode. Leave Eco for highways. Best way to get higher MPG's is move to the proper speed faster and stay there. Being on Eco, itll take more gas to move and longer to get to speed. Ford already skips gear on normal mode with the 10 speed, so no worries...

Far as I know, the only "upgrade" the 21 received in the interior is the plastic cover in the dash now has a piano black color (could be a negative if you hate fingerprints but nicer looking) and the front seats dont have the plastic cover anymore in the rear, full leather. Much nicer looking...

Sadly, Sync 1/2/3 have all been horrible. Outside of the ability of AA and AC, I preferred Sync 2 over Sync 3. I wish it was more like Jeep/Dodge interface, IMO the best UI of all car makers. Fast, smooth, reliable and no need to wait a couple of min for it to boot up.

Could be, feel similar in handling just much more smoother I bet. I was eyeing a basic Aviator Reserve at a local dealer but got a great deal on a fully loaded Platinum that was around 12k cheaper vs the Reserve. Was a no brainer in my case.

I seem to recall the Aviator Hybrid trapping 2 mph more vs the ST in the 1/4 mile. Still, very close tho and very heavy indeed, about 1k lbs heavier. Congrats on the new Aviator OP, she's a beauty!

Are we to expect it to pass in California soon?? Fingers crossed!!!

Dont see why would they. Its literally like leaving older car keys in the ignition. Just cant see them out in the open. Would the Ford app still turn the car on with the keys inside? I mean if the app works perfectly fine, you really dont loose any features.

Interesting, I need to try this. Will make things easier and better for whenever I travel.

If the Keyfob is in the car, wouldnt the door be automatically unlocked upon grabbing the handle by anyone?

Any car you go wot and/or hard launches you automatically impact the longevity. Adding a tune makes it worse especially if you up the boost. It'll mainly fall on you how you take care of the car. So far from what everyone says tho, this fixes the tranny downsides which is actually a big plus

6/25 was the last day for a MY21 Production vehicle, so you literally grabbed it on the last day. OP, you'll have a MY22 vehicle.

I thought the stock tranny tune skipped a gear? I remember reading it usually goes 1-3-5-7 or something along those lines. The hesitation on finding gears is the most annoying one of them all, even on Sport Mode. I drove my brother's Blazer RS, and it felt very snappy, smooth, and shifted...

I mean can't you just disable it with the press of one button? It's inches below from gear knob. Even then, most drive on sport mode which automatically removes that. IMO, thats a more annoying issue, not saving the previous drive mode.

Not sure about Ford's ECU but my point of my post is that the ATS can achieve exactly what MikeWolfe.. It's been done on other vehicles that are not flex fuel cars as well. Yes, it will gain more power as well vs a 91 tune. About 20whp running full E85 vs 91. No sensor was needed or injectors or...

This is exactly how it works with my ATS, no need for an E85 sensor. Can run a full E85 tank or 91 and the tune will adjust accordingly to the fuel being used. Car is not a "flex fuel" vehicle either. All software calibrated that tricks the ECU.
