Did the diffs and xfer case on mine at right under 50,000 miles. First time I've ever done this service on a vehicle. There's plenty of good videos as a guide. Not difficult to do at all.

May not help you at the moment but I kind of went through the same dilemma. I recognized that my Mazda was getting on up there at 200k miles and opted to get my next commuter - A hybrid CR-V. I sold my wife by saying "look, you get to drive a new car for 3 yrs. Then we will get you whatever you...

If anyone has been here for a while you may remember the great Shell Rotella Gas Truck Oil Rush of 2020 😂 Well, I just used the last of my surplus clearanced oil on my 8th oil change at 58,295 miles. Was $10.50 for 5 quart jugs. 1 quart bottles were also clearanced. I think I bought like...

You fellers work your stock battery too hard. 😂 OEM in mine still going strong. Watch - the SOB will go out tomorrow now

The issue lies in the fact that it's annoying as hell to sit in a drive thru or red light and have the truck turn off, feel the cabin get warm, and then have the truck crank back up to cool back down. I'm in a black truck in 90-100* heat. It doesn't take long for it to warm up. I also dunno if...

Thanks for the write up. I'm about to hit 60,000 miles and this is on my to do list. I was under the impression that ZF recommends 60-80k on our trans. Guess I'll expedite this to ensure I'm right around the 60k mark.

Yea, I wasn't trying to say I don't think it's good - I just don't like it. Even in Georgia it's too hot to be cutting the engine off during the summer. It's definitely one of the better ones that aren't a "full" hybrid like our CR-V. Our old pacifica was awful with the AS/S system.

You do realize this doesn't do anything to the etorque system right? Yes, it will turn MDS off but the etorque generator isn't gonna magically decouple itself mechanically from the truck. For me I don't mind MDS and the push button for the auto start/stop system is right near where my fingers...

I've not driven a hybrid Rav or the Rav 4 Prime but our '24 CR-V Hybrid compared to a regular Rav 4 is ridiculous. It handles so well and drives way smaller than it is. I can't wait to daily it vs my current Mazda 3. We love the CR-V. My mother in law has the Rav and my wife and I both dislike...

Doesn't seem to matter what I do. My onboard MPG is always calculated at 14.5-16MPG. I do a ton of highway driving. If it's realistically 13.5-15 then that's good enough to for me. I've got a Mazda 3 I'm about to retire for a hybrid CR-V if I want the fuel economy.

Thanks! Was my first one and may be my last lol. Good learning experience regardless.

Truck did a lot of work hauling stones and rock to my back yard for my retaining wall build. Handles half a scoop of #57 rock like a champ.

Pretty cool. Looks like what Ford does with their STX package or has done in the past. I'm sure they'll sell well.

Rockauto has been around forever. Used to have ads regularly on prime time TV. I've shopped them for years and never had any issue. They'll usually get you on shipping but the prices are fair. Always worth cross shopping with Amazon and Walmart too before pulling the trigger on Rockauto though.

I've had the regular kykr screen protector since first few months of ownership. Pano sunroof and 12" screen. No issues with glare for me unless the screen is off. I keep my sunroof shade open quite a bit since we got the sunroof tinted. Sides and sunroof at 20% tint for reference.

I've got one, I've used it and it's awesome.

$20/per vehicle here in my area of Georgia

Yep, my response was more towards 2023BighornCA as his comment read like Ford was using the same transmission as our Ram. No problem though - regardless I'm glad we don't have the 10 speed!

They don't share a transmission at all afaik. Sometimes my truck sounds like it's gonna explode when I start it. Just very aggressive cold start. Sometimes it gives the quick tick the manual says to ignore. Otherwise I don't know that my truck rattles when I crank it. Sometimes it is violent...

No issues. Truck seems to be doing great. I'm at 54,000 miles now. So I guess I've put around 5,000 miles on it. I use 4auto pretty regularly in the rain. My tires/truck loves to break the rear end loose when the ground is wet.
