  1. How many miles on your S550

    I’m a little behind you. I’m at 99,250 on my 2018 Eco Performance Pack.
  2. Cheese Whiz Orange returning for 2026

    I love my Orange Fury Ecoboost, but I also love Twister Orange.
  3. Who has the pleasure of regular access to 93?

    I didn’t realize they offered ethanol free 93.
  4. Lug Nuts

    These look like the same ones I put on my Mustang.
  5. Mustang “Mach 4” trademarked by Ford

    That was speculation. The Explorer and Aviator are the only vehicles using the CD6 platform. Compare the specs of the S550 and S650. The weight went up a bit, but everything else is really close. In fact, most of the dimensions are an exact match. There were rumors that Ford may have used...
  6. Mustang “Mach 4” trademarked by Ford

    Nothing else uses the Mustang platform. It was originally based off the DEW98 platform (Lincoln LS), it was modified significantly and became the S197 platform. From it, we got the S550 and now the S650 platform. Only the Mustang has used the S197, S550, and S650 platforms.
  7. Have you ever had a problem with your 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission that required service by Ford?

    2018 EB PP. The dealer re-flashed the transmission at about 42k miles. I was having intermittent issues - harsh shift from P to R, harsh downshifts 5-4 and 4-3 if I remember correctly. I’m at 88k miles now. No more issues.
  8. Ecoboost and Sport+ Mode / Who uses it?

    I probably only use normal mode about 20-25% of the time. I much prefer the shift algorithms in sport+ and track modes.
  9. Does the 10R80 Function Better in the GT vs. the Ecoboost?

    The A10 in my 2018 Ecoboost started out pretty good. Around 40,000 it started shifting roughly. At 42,000 miles I had the dealer look at it. They reflashed it and that mostly fixed it. Works well in Normal mode. In Sport plus or track mode, it still shifts a bit harshly on occasion.
  10. Max Cylinder Head Temperature 5.0 / 2.3 L

    Yes, I’m also still on the original coolant.
  11. Max Cylinder Head Temperature 5.0 / 2.3 L

    These are basically the same temps I see with my 2018 Ecoboost PP.
  12. MPG high and low scores?

    Ye Yeah, I manually calculate the mileage every tank and record it in a spreadsheet.
  13. MPG high and low scores?

    2018 Ecoboost PP with 10 spd auto. I have a little over 67,000 miles on it. Hand calculated mpg for the life of the car is 25.84. I keep track of this in a spreadsheet. I’ve never reset one of the trip odometers. According to it, the life time mpg is 26.9. The car typically reads about...
  14. Cruise RPM in 7th and 8th gears for A10

    Okay, ”average“ throttle can vary quite a bit. I just got back from running a couple of errands. In normal mode, light/average throttle usually results in shifts occurring around 2200-2500 rpm. In sport mode, it’s more like 2700-3000 rpm. Adding just a little more throttle will push it to...
  15. Cruise RPM in 7th and 8th gears for A10

    Off hand, I don’t remember. I do know that normal mode shifts much too early. I’ll pay attention next time I drive, which will probably be this evening.
  16. Cruise RPM in 7th and 8th gears for A10

    I have a 2018 Ecoboost PP with 3.55 gears and 255/40-19 tires. At 60, 7th gear is 2700 rpm and 8th is 2300.
  17. Highest mileage 18-19

    I’ve got a little over 65k on my 18 Ecoboost.
  18. Highest mileage 18-19

    I’ve got 62,800 miles on my 18 Ecoboost.
  19. Chip Shortage to Last Until Late 2022

    Toyota actually had a good supply of chips, so they had weathered the chip shortage better than others up to now. Apparently, they have exhausted the supply they had in stock and will see significant impact on their production capacity now.
  20. Heads up Cali Owners…

    The Ford Performance tune is street legal.
