Not too sure how the car's handling characteristics would be effected with a 285/40 N Spec on the front. It's pretty damned wide for a 285. Maybe a call to Ford Performance and speaking with one of the Ford reps. who provide guidance about our cars would help.
I also read that cautionary note. I have 5K on the car and there is no difference that I can tell in the way the front and rears adhere during spirited cornering or stopping. I brought this disparity up to my racing tire expert who had recommended these tires and he believes it is more about...
I have this automatic seat feature activated in my 19 GT350. When I get into the car with the automatic seat adjustment activated, it would be way back to allow easy access. Love it! When I get into the car I push the start button once and the seat moves forward to my pre-set position, then I...
Well, after much consternation, I got some silicone lubricant gel (kinda like Vaseline, only thicker) and applied it to the lateral portion of the console that is rubbing against the seat side bolster, and no more noise!! It's probably a temporary fix, but it's lasted about a week now and has...
Ford is never too forthcoming with specificity. The best explanation from my technician is that this faulty part was within the shifter mechanics and it was easier to just replace the whole shifter with the corrected part than to take it all apart, install the corrected part, reassemble it, and...
From what I understand there was a faulty part installed in the effected shifter mechanisms. It will eventually fail and cause the shifter to go into reverse without pulling up on the lock out collar. It also makes the shifter feel weird and wonky!
Dealer owner has been a personal friend for 30 plus years! That helps! I still kinda like the smoothness of the original stock shifter on the 2019 GT350 and I do miss the collar reverse entry on the Ford unit. I had it on my 2000 SVT Contour and really liked it.
My 2019 GT350 was built in February 2019. I had the issue described shortly after I took delivery in July 2019. It would go into reverse w/o needing to pull up the reverse collar. The whole shifter pattern felt out of sorts. The replacement shifter from Ford was back-ordered due a large number...
It also may be the shut down of production during January and February due to the summer tires installed on these cars. It just may be that your order hasn't been picked up yet. Just keep checking with your dealer.
Ford and Michelin both warn us, in print, not to drive these summer only tires in cold temperatures. There is a reason for these warning. I think they know a lot more than any of us do concerning the safety characteristics of these tires. I am not risking my car, my personal safety, or other's...
Absolutely what the guys said. The Cup2's are dangerous in cold temps and can be irreparably damaged. Have it transported and save yourself some heartbreak.
Funny! I skirt the "walking" issue with my wife by dropping her off at the front of the restaurant and then go park the car myself. Happy wife, happy life! I don't use valets either. Hell, many of them don't know how to shift a manual. The mind boggles!
I have 5,500 miles on my 19 (non-R) with no oil usage. The dealer changed it at 1000 miles at my request. Haven't tracked it yet, but it has seen redline a number of times and it gets driven, briskly! I'm completely satisfied with the engine so far!
All of what you all say is spot on. I've been buying cars and having them serviced at Century Ford in Mt. Airy, Md. for over 35 years. It's a relatively small dealership which provides it's customers with friendly and attentive service and sales. They are honest and trustworthy. I've bought 17...
Yeh, the first time it happened, the wife accused me of farting! This has only started since cold weather. I'm going to see if my SVT technician has any ideas!
