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...
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.
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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
