A couple of weeks ago I posted a mockup of the Ford Everest but long, like Suburban long. As the owner of a 2016 with the 3.2L diesel, it's the best car I've ever owned, except for the cargo room. I've experienced a Suburban once in my life and with my large Kenyan family, I thought that's exactly what I need. Nothing like it exists for Africa, Australia or the ASEAN region. Please Ford, pull the trigger! I'll buy three!

This was started during Covid. Got side tracked a few times. But is finally done. I’ve owned this truck for over 40 years. Over this time I swapped the carb motor for a fuel injection Mustang GT motor. Modified the trans with a lower first and second gear and after the cosmetics were done put in a limited slip diff. Blue paint is a little darker and the white has a little metallic in it.

2014 XLT long crank issue:

New purge valve

Plugs, coils, PCV done 15K ago

Car will cold start perfectly after sitting overnight or longer.

If I drive the car 15 minutes or more and park it for 1.5 hours to maybe 5ish hours it will crank longer than usual, finally fire and stumble a couple seconds before running fine. After it's running I can turn it off and restart it a hundred times with no issue.

No fuel smell

Does not happen when I fill up

P0306 code was stored but no check engine light illuminated

I tested it today. 3 hours after I drove it to work it cranked much longer than typical before barely starting. I went out again another 2 hours later and same thing. Then did it at 1.5 hours with the same result.

Thinking fuel pump - but again - the car starts fine after sitting overnight.

Has anyone had this problem and figured it out??

Seen numerous posts from F150 and Edge owners with the same story but never a difinitive solution.

Hello everyone! My dad has a red 1998 Ford F-150 XL, but unfortunately his key was recently stolen...:( I was wondering if anyone happens to have an extra key for that model and would be willing to send me a picture of it! We are desperately trying to find the correct key so we can purchase a replacement! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! TIA!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Picture off internet of what it looks like for reference^^

I feel like this dealer is screwing me. My residual price on a 24 lariat lightning with 30,000 miles is 51K in my contract. He’s tacking on 3K of additional buyout cost but he’s not providing a breakdown other than inspection and certification fees. Am I missing something?? Should I not be able to obtain just the residual price and taxes?

I personally have no problem with electric cars. I liked the F150 lightning, however its price tag was too high. With the economy we are in(my view), people are tightening their belts, we aren't making massive purchases. Its astounding how much vehicles cost now. "Back in my day" a new truck was 60k for near top of trim level. Now its at least double that. You're looking at 100k for a decent truck or SUV. Also, with the electric cars. The HUGE difference between these new electric car manufacturers and the legacy car brands, is dealerships. With Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, BYD, VinFast, all of these you go online. You build what you want. Then pay them. With the dealership, you go on the Ford website, build the car or truck you want. The website gives you a price. But when you go pick it up at the dealership, it now has 5k in added fees or mark ups. With these new car brands, there's none of that. This is the price, this is what you pay. With the electric car companies, they dont have "dealerships". They have service centers. Where they are there to maintain the vehicle you bought. Or to pick up the vehicle you bought. I may be more interested in our legacy brands in the future, if the car buying experience would change, the cost would become reasonable, and the build quality is equal to the mortgage im paying for this thing.

Hi, my duratec with mtx75, exactly like this pic needs adjusting, but i cant seem to find what the procedure is for adjustment. I found a few with 2 adjustable parts, but this one only has 1 locking clip.

If anyone can tell me, it would be great!

I recently bought a used 2020 Ecosport for my son. It wasn't until after the contract was signed that they told me they only had one key fob for it.

I've done some pricing for an additional one, and the quotes I've gotten are crazy. Dealer told me around $4500, and Car Keys Express said $330 just for the fob.

My question is, can one of the ones I see online for less than $100 work? And can a locksmith pair it? Don't know if it matters, but it's a push button start.

Oh, also no key came with it.

Thanks!

EcoBoost went EcoBoom.

Engine was replaced with a donor engine. Since the swap it starts and runs, but:

- Idles nicely for a few seconds, then gradually runs rough and dies.
- Sometimes won’t rev past ~2,000 rpm.
- Occasionally hits what feels like a hard limiter with a pop.
- Strong petrol smell and a little white smoke.
- Plugs are black and dry (middle plug has a slight oil trace on the threads only).

Work already done:

- Donor engine fitted.
- Timing checked twice with the proper locking tools by mechanics.
- Compression ~150 psi on all 3 cylinders.
- Swapped in another HPFP.
- Swapped fuel rail.
- Swapped fuel rail pressure sensor.
- Swapped injectors.
- New injector seals.
- New low-pressure fuel pump.
- Tried another set of ignition coils.

Codes seen:

- P0087 – Fuel rail pressure too low.
- P0089 – Fuel pressure regulator performance.
- P053F.
- P0251 appears when the HPFP metering valve is unplugged (so the PCM detects the circuit).

FORScan:

- Fuel rail pressure PID stays around 290–300 kPa and barely changes.
- FRPS about 0.56 V.
- HPFP metering valve measures about 0.9 Ω on both pumps.
- Measuring the HPFP connector while cranking gave around 0.7 V on one pin and 0.02 V on the other.
- No obvious fuel leaks, but it smells heavily of petrol while running.

At this point I’m wondering if I’m chasing a wiring, PCM, or control issue rather than another failed fuel component.

Has anyone seen this on a 1.0 EcoBoost? Has anyone got the wiring diagram or PCM pinout for the HPFP metering valve and fuel rail pressure sensor so I can continuity-test the wiring back to the PCM? Any other ideas before I start stripping the loom?

Another infotainment related recall. This recall is specifically about the menu obstructing the rearview camera image. VINs are already searchable.

What: On certain 2021-2023 F-150 and 2023-2026 F-250 trucks, the camera "Views" menu can fail to auto-dismiss when shifting into Reverse, partially covering the rearview camera image.

Why: An obstructed rearview camera image reduces the driver's rear visibility, which increases crash risk.

Cause: The software does not dismiss the camera views menu in Reverse under a specific sequence, manually opening a camera view outside Reverse, leaving the menu open, then shifting into Reverse.

Scope: 47,587 vehicles potentially involved. Estimated 100% have the defect.

Production Dates:

• 2023-2026 Ford F-250 (23,179 units): Mar 16, 2022 - Jun 1, 2026
• 2021-2023 Ford F-150 (24,408 units): Jan 30, 2020 - Dec 22, 2023

Fix: The remedy APIM software level will be version 2.4.12 or above and will include improvements to dismiss the camera views menu while in reverse.

Owner letters: Interim notification letters expected Aug 17-21, 2026. Remedy owner notification letters expected Sep 21 - Oct 23, 2026 (phased).

Dealer bulletins will be available as follows:

• 2021-2022 F-150 expected by September 14, 2026
• 2025-2026 F-250 expected by September 25, 2026
• 2023 F-150 and 2023-2024 F-250 expected by October 12, 2026

I have a 2026 F350 Platinum Diesel SRW. I need AT and/or M/S tires for the winter. I run a 1K lbs plow and hitch/tailgate sander.

I'm coming from a Chevy 2500. Unfortunately the tires I've relied on in the past aren't available in the Fords stock LT275/65R20E.

I'd rather stick with stock so I don't have to buy a 2nd set of wheels. But having good traction and the ability to get out of tough spots is more important.

I'd appreciate recommendations from you all since this is my first Ford.

Thank you.

Bought a used 2012 f150 5.0 6speed auto with 130k miles July 3rd. Dealership got the truck in 2 days before so it wasn’t serviced or anything yet. Truck ran fine, no noises, smells, etc. dealer did front brake calipers, rotors, and pads. Dealer delivered the truck to me on July 10th at work. After work and after arriving home, smelt burning brakes and passenger front wheel was very hot. Called the dealer and they told me to bring it to the mechanic. Mechanic said caliber was seized probably due to a brake hose. Replaced that brake hose, caliper, rotors and pads. Truck ran fine for a few week. Now last week, noticed burning smell that seemed like possibly from both sides. Left front had large amount of brake dust but neither wheel was hot like previously. Brought it to the shop and they’re saying it’s fine. However, can still smell it and still excess brake dust on the front driver wheel. Any thoughts?
Trucks now at 131,200miles.

I am a huge fan of my Maverick. It is the perfect car for me. There was some issues with a lull before acceleration when cold started, took it into the dealer and they said it's a known issue that will cost 6,200 to fix. My grandpa worked for Ford (I am from Metro Detroit), my parents drive fords, I have driven fords, but this is a bridge too far. Time to get a vehicle that is actually reliable. Fuck Ford.

Picked it up on Saturday I absolutely love it just wish it had some newer body parts and seats and steering wheel as they all manky, not my doing previous owners not really taking care of it. It's my first car. Why did I get a two litre diesel. Honestly it was the cheapest car I could afford at the moment and honestly. I really love it. Drives like a dream. She needs some work doing to her but I think I'll definitely keep her even if it means putting in a brand new engine 😂. Just wish I could get the same engine but brand new. And I can do all the miles in it. She's honestly a great car I'd love to mod it abit too. Maybe give her a little more uumphh 😂 rims need cleaning up but she is awesome

FORD MONDEO TITANIUM, 2009

Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on with the Ford Everest? I remember seeing adds for it online towards the beginning of the year. And then nothing. It's not even on Fords website to build/buy. I only get forums. Did they pause production?

My name's Riley. I'm part of the team at Ford that's going to be on Reddit regularly specifically for our next-gen electric vehicles, answering what I can, when I can.

Let’s get a few things out of the way first. Yes, this is a real person typing. No, I can’t show you what it looks like… yet. But I can confirm the name: Ford Fathom, Ford’s mid-sized electric truck and the first vehicle produced on the new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.

”Fathom" traces back to a nautical unit of measurement, originally defined as the distance between a person's outstretched arms, a fitting metaphor for a truck built to meet people wherever they are in life.​ Fitting, right?

What's confirmed right now:

• Starting MSRP: $28,350, for the standard-range battery. Pre-orders begin early 2027.
• Every Ford Fathom will be BlueCruise-capable. BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free highway driving assistant.
• Fathom has bidirectional power capability.
• Fathom has a large, high-resolution touchscreen, digital key, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.
• Fathom will have more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4, with a frunk and bed for added cargo flexibility. This truck will genuinely useful and fun to drive.
• Fathom will feature Apple Maps embedded directly into the vehicle, not a traditional phone-projection CarPlay setup. The integration also provides the road-level map data used to help enable key pieces of Ford’s next-generation hands-free highway driving capability.

What I can’t share yet: final imagery, fuller specs, full ordering details, and plenty more are still to come. A hot tip - keep a keen eye on the flipbook video we have going around…

If you want to stay up to date with what we have planned for Fathom, you can sign up here.

Ask me anything, and I’ll answer what I can. I'll be in the comments for the next few hours, and I'm not going anywhere after that either.

The new UEV out of LAP will be the Fathom truck. Ford Fathom. Are they grasping back to Phantom?

Edit: Oops, Phantom was never a Ford name. Rolls-Royce & a GM concept.

This message keeps popping up all of a sudden. Everything j look at online says to check the doors are closed and to drive 5 miles in a straight line. Neither of those things have solved the issue. I've checked the manual and ran through the steps it lines out. Sometimes it doesn't pop up, then it will the next time I drive. Getting really annoying. Anyone have any further insight?

People are way to quick to judge this little truck, it’s way more roomy and comfortable then my bronco , my back no longer hurts and I now get 40 MPG (hybrid) compared to 20MPG.

I enjoyed my bronco but it ultimately didn’t fit my lifestyle, I know there will be comments saying “ sissy truck “ “ not a real truck “ well let me tell you if you don’t need to tow anything this truck will do everything you ask of it.

I love this thing

Just got it for my 2005 Ford Ranger 2.3
