The loss of the memory seats was an automatic "skip the Recaros" for me as well.

Speaking of USB... Here's a thought - Why doesn't the USB hub support quick charging. Do the newer cars quick charge? I might be able to replace the USB module ... again. The 2016 USB hub charges so slowly that it is barely keeping up with the draw, especially when using navigation or...

Pretty much how my 2016 behaves as well. I should note that my USB module was defective from the factory. When I plugged in my phone it would connect, then disconnect, then connect, then download contacts, then disconnect, etc. Eventually it would error out as "not a compatible device". The...

Awesome! Thanks for confirming this, I'll have to keep this in mind next time I want to run the drivetrain while up on jack stands. I'm glad it is as simple as turning off the AdvanceTrac.

I tried that once. It wouldn't go when it sensed the back tires moving and the front tires stationary. You might be able to get it to go with the advance track turned off. Or you might have to put it into Dyno mode. I didn't try either method.

With regard to the question of having the nannies off by default... They are government mandated (in the US) and will never have an option to default to off. As for sport/track mode as default... The normal mode is programmed to maximize economy so it will remain the default to help Ford's...

In winter, when starting out from a cold engine, the heater will go ape-shit when the engine reaches temperature. Holds the high heat blasting for about 5 minutes shooting way past the setpoint and usually requires me to turn it down manually or open a window. After that initial...

What seems like it is randomly occurring... Sometimes when I increase the stereo volume for the first time after starting the car using the steering wheel controls, it jumps from the 6-8 range to the 10-12 range instead of stepping up by 1. After that initial shock to the eardrums, it won't do...

Ouch! Sounds like it has devolved since 2016...

It may have already been mentioned, but if you turn off the max defrost by pressing the max defrost button a second time, the temp settings will restore to their previous values. If you press a different mode button it will remain at HI. Same goes for the max AC button.

You can also use FORscan to require a "double click" from the key fob panic button before going off from an accidental press in your pocket (and scaring the shit out of you standing next to the car in the garage).

They are at least 15 years old American Racing pieces of shit that came on my wife's used Suburban and have corroded beads such that at least two of them won't hold air even with beadsealer on them... Hence the term "dispose of".

Maybe all the ticks and rattles on these cars are actually the sounds of bolts shaking loose and falling off... I'll have to check my starter motor. Incidentally, when I vacuumed my car for the first time I found a trim screw on the driver's side floor. Extra? Dropped by the guy at the...

They are chromed alloy. Any idea If the chrome layer would be a deal killer for recycling?

I have a set of old wheels with the old tires still mounted. Anybody know of the best way (i.e. the least amount of work from me) to dispose of them? Otherwise, I'll let the local landfill's recycling process take over.

Me three... 43K after 6.5 years.

+1. The aftermarket outlets need to pay closer attention to the manufacturer's fine print (or make their own fine print larger). The Levittown website (bold text at the top of the screen capture I posted) says they fit 2011-2017 5.0L and 2015+ 5.2L. Honestly, I think that even Levittown's...

When you say "plugged in" are you referring to the trunk bulb itself? Or are you unplugging the harness connector upstream? I mention it because if there is a short in the wiring, the presence of a bulb should be irrelevant since the current will run through the upstream short in the wiring...

My first 'mod' was to replace all interior light and trunk bulbs with Diode Dynamics LEDs - much brighter and they offer options for color tone. I opted for the crisper daylight/cool white. Which is technically irrelevant to your question, but thought I would throw it out there if you are...

I have no firsthand knowledge, of course, but in my poking around I found this info on Levitown's website under the "Vehicle Fitment" tab. It appears that they will not fit the 2018+ 5.0L. <Edit: updated with better info>
