Ford parts reviews

2021 Got the extended warranty, one year after the standard warranty went, so did my alternator. Extended warranty covered it.

On mine I pieced together all the joints with Moog parts and KYB shocks and replaced the rear leaf spring hangers (rust kills them) rather than go with a generic kit.

12k later and it all seems fine

They were both originally Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 touring all-season. They replace with with a Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 XL. The XL has a different load weight and a different PSI. From my research online, this could be caused by the tire speeds not being the same and the tires being mismatched. Does this seem possible to you? I could call the tire place and ask if they'd honor a replacement because they put a non-matching, non-compatible tire on the car... It's essentially new as I've only driven maybe 500 miles max on that tire.

One of the main reasons I'm hanging on to my 2017 250. It's a Lariat and has some features like backup camera and some other useless features that I don't use. Hell I don't even have my phone hooked up to it. Plus it's paid off 4 years now and only has 83k miles on it. Why take on another payment.

My wife's 2018 Explorer has all the bells and whistles and I can't stand it. Her windshield has sensors in it and costs $1200 to replace it.

I paid $750 for it in 2007. It had a lunar odometer (north of 400,000) and the gas gauge stopped working so you had to write the mileage on a sticky note and slap it on the dash. The seat belts were *sawed off* and all the safety features deactivated. The brakes were high-dollar Brembos and I owned it for three years as a scrap hauler and fishing access get-to-er. I sold it for... $750. To a teenager. He probably still has it. 91-95 F-150 for life. Those things were TANKS and will survive the apocalypse, same with the Chevy 1500s of the day, especially the Silverados.

it's usually the plan with all my cars until repairs become more expensive than payments. our last car was an 2006 vw jetta tdi. sold it a few years ago (18 years old). it was still running fine-ish but a lot of things were coming up. timing belt and water pump, suspension overhaul, wheel bearings, brakes and caliper rebuild, and it was getting quite a bit of rust all around. it would have lasted and gone for 5+ more years but with 2 young kids getting into sports and stuff and the winter weather we are getting in our new home, it was a smart move to get a truck. with the aluminum body and ease of getting parts for the truck for maintenance as well as the f150 and coyote community, keeping the truck running for a long time should be easy.

I had a set of Continentals do the same thing on my wife’s gently driven Escape. I am religious about tire pressure, and they otherwise wore evenly.

That plastic is awful

Plastic becomes brittle. They are a bugger to remove without breaking. But they do still occasionally snap.

High temp plastic does turn brittle over time... plastic breaks manufacturers will tell you that the plastic is just as strong and wear resistant. But we all know its just to make shit cheaper.
