    How to remove interior black plastic trim scratches

    I realize this is an older thread but I came across it and maybe I can help. I was a Program Manager for a few years at the company that makes nearly all Ford OEM emblems and badging including the Ford Explorer hood letters, Ranger fender badges, F150 & F250 etc. fender badges, Bronco lettering...

    Having fun without losing towing capability

    Just my $.02 on towing, you may want to consider air bags for the rear to prevent squatting. They are inexpensive ($125), made in USA, lifetime warranty, and not hard to install. My toy trailer tongue weight is 350 pounds and it squatted my 2022 ST a fair amount. It wasn't over excessive but...

    Intake system

    I realize this thread is 10-months old and I'm sure there are newer threads I didn't come across yet. My apologies up front. Can anyone tell me if the AFE CAI is/was worth it. Any real benefit in fuel mileage or felt HP or torque?

Ford replaced the engine under warranty. In 2016 I had a Fusion Titanium with the 2.0 liter turbo that I bought...

    2025 Towing Capacity

    2025 Towing Capacity

    The towing capacity reduction is one of the first things I noticed about the 2025. Really curious as to why the downgrade in towing capacity if they are carrying over the same engine & drivetrain with no changes minus the trans. calibration change (whatever that is). I have a 16' tandem axle...

    How to disable hands-free liftgate feature???

    The hands free sensor(s) at the bottom of the rear bumper cover plug in at one location. I've disabled this on (2) Escapes and on (2) Edges that I have owned. Go under the vehicle at the rear bumper cover and find where the hands free wiring plug connection is and unplug it- It's that easy. Why...
