  1. OEM Mudflaps while offroading

    I’ve dragged mine, I haven’t had any body damage from doing so but I know it’s a possibility in certain cases. I’ve also not had any rock chips on the lower rear doors in front of the wheel that others have mentioned, so pick your poison I guess. A flexible option may be nice but I haven’t had...
  2. Creaking and Rattling HVAC Panel

    Does that piece just pop off if I pull it? Or, do you know how to safely remove that trim piece?
  3. High approach angle bumper

    Correct, I was more-so just pointing out a difference in the front bumper design. Still helps a bit with approach if approaching from one of the corners rather than head-on.
  4. Creaking and Rattling HVAC Panel

    i have noticed the temperature affects it as well. I’ll try to update here if I find the culprit.
  5. Creaking and Rattling HVAC Panel

    I have the exact same rattle and have yet to find an answer on how to disassemble that area. It is a very faint rattle but increasingly annoying. I imagine there is a loose clip or something that I can fix. I just haven’t tried to tear into it yet.
  6. High approach angle bumper

    The front bumper in front of the wheels/tires is cut out higher as well.
  7. TPWS Warning range for spare set too high?

    My spare (also Trailhunter) is kept at the same PSI as the other 4 tires and no issues (generally 33 PSI but fluctuates). Every time I rotate my tires (5-tire rotation every 5k miles) I set the pressures for the 4 installed tires to 33/34 so whichever is the spare for that rotation is relatively...
  8. TPM on dash question - tire pressure shows dashes only

    If you’re seeing dashes you should just need to give it time to register. Mine shows dashes in all five positions after each startup until it registers what the pressures are. Sometimes it registers fairly quickly, other times it takes 3-5 mins of driving after a tire rotation for example. I am...
  9. 5-tire rotation

    just like badtraindriver said. Also, the main reason I do this is I the tires should be within a certain tread depth of one another, especially on the same axle or in AWD/4WD use otherwise you risk addition stress on drivetrain components. If I’m 75% through the usable life of my tires and get a...
  10. Gauge Cluster Plastic Screen / Window / Lens Replacement

    I put a screen protector on my gauge cluster (Screen Protech as well) and it was way easier than I thought. Why put one here? No I don’t touch my gauge cluster either, but it does get dust on it. And I didn’t want to scratch the cheap lens when getting the dust off. Now I don’t have to worry...
  11. Strange noise driver side front when braking!!

    I had this exact noise. I could feel it tapping in my left foot even. I looked around, found absolutely nothing that I could identify to cause it. After weather warmed and I got a good under spray/car wash, the noise has gone away. I don’t know if that was purely coincidental or not. But it’s gone.
  12. Part-time 4WD system living in Utah / Colorado winters?

    I live in Michigan. I’ve got a 2025 Trailhunter (part-time 4WD). This year so far for us has been pretty mixed winter weather conditions. The tires seem to do really really well in snow on the Trailhunter - I can’t speak for the other trims. But the traction control system is also really quite...
  13. What else do you drive? Post your other rides

    2020 Navigator And a 1993 Taurus SHO
  14. Loud front wiper motors and no automatic wipers?

    With all of the sensors and safety features they put in all of the trims, I’m surprised they skipped on rain sensing wipers (seriously, it’ll display speed limit signs, stop signs, pedestrian crossing signs, but no rain sensing wipers). I’ve been living with them for the better part of 10 years...
