Do they just hate making money ?

When the Maverick was announced I wasn't sure how much demand there would be for a compact pickup. A few years later it seems like Ford identified a gap in the market that a lot of people didn't realize existed. Do you think the Maverick has lived up to expectations or is there another recent Ford that deserves that title?

Seems to be coming from right tire area

I’m sure it’s been posted here before, but what are the best CarPlay’s for the last gen rangers? One where I don’t have to make any cuts or shave anything off? Volume knob would be nice too lol the buttons piss me off CRANK IT

Is this a thing? I am getting conflicting info from dealers throughout the country. A ford chat said yes - you can lock in special rates and incentives at time of order or take incentives/special financing at time of delivery if better. I have had two dealers say yes- Granger said no

I have a 1980 f250 ranger (with a custom flatbed winch and gooseneck hitch) but it tends to backfire when I step on the gas when starting it (something in the dash caught fire and the ignition doesn’t work right so I have to hold a screw driver on the solenoid)

Got a 2026 Ranger Lariat FX4 2.7TT and am loving it. Perfect blend of function and tech. Does anyone else experience any of the following:

I hear a rattle in the driver door/window or B pillar. I’m thinking it’s window related but not sure. Is this common?

I also feel like I hear constant “clicks”. Almost like switch relays. Around steering wheel. I also hear it every time, when going above 35 mph, when I depress and release the brake pedal.

Additionally, something in the back along the back window makes noise.

I’m OCD and struggle with noises that cause me to obsess over them.

Any other insights?

I got this car through a auction sales in June.

The car got a solid check engine light and I took it to autozone to get scanned. Code p0303 came out and they recommended I change the spark plug (number 3) and engine coil. I changed all the spark plugs and noticed the 3rd one had corrosion.

The mechanic changed the engine coil and said he thought it was the vacuum compartment valve and that it would keep shaking. He was right it shakes when I turn it on for 10 seconds and then it stops. There's no problem when I'm driving it. He says he's going to look for the part and then call me.

I also noticed that the coolant keeps dropping from max to under minimum first it took 2 weeks to drop but now I notice it took less time. When I turn the car on I can notice a smell of coolant for a few seconds in the cabin. There's no sticky floors but there's also no visible leak on the drive way.

When I researched the car Ford Edge 2016 eco boost 2.0 it saw that there was a big issue with the long block of the engine. There's a big engine issue where the coolant leaks into the engine and it causes engine damage. I looked at the engine and there's a sticker that says the engine is from 2018. So they did change the engine but re-designed engine didn't come out until 2019. So there is a chance that it could be that issue. The car doesn't over heat and there is no white smoke and the engine oil looks normal.

I have read that it could be a normal leak in heat compartment of the car which would be stellar and I hope it really is something that simple but the fact that the check engine light used to come on and off but now stays on makes me worried.

I was reading a bit and chat gpt is sounding the alarm that the engine could crack if it take this trip leaving me with no car. I was hoping to buy some time as it's a trip for my kiddos bday but saftey first.

What do you think other than the obvious that I bought a problem car?

Thanks for reading.

So i just bought a brand new 5.0 off the lot about a month ago, completely stock right now except for the Corsa Extrem catback, the other thing i wanted to add was a dark horse spoiler.Im 21 so i am fairly new to all this car stuff my main question is their anything i can do to my car without voiding warranty like any tunes performance wise, i was looking at the ess g3 supercharger but again i dont want to void my warranty, so any tips would help if i should wait or just do it.

I've been looking at getting either of these trucks, I can find them for relatively the same price where I'm at. I'm looking to take this truck camping as well as just hauling stuff around town. I would be normally loading up camping gear, a dirt bike or 2 and then me and my gf but I would also want to maybe toss a light duty slide in bed camper in the back too.

From my understanding the f150 would be more reliable and haul more weight but slower and a bit less modern, while the ranger would be a bit more unreliable but faster, more comfortable, more nimble and maybe a tiny bit better gas mileage.

Which one should I get and what should I look out for that I'm possibly not thinking about? Would parts be more difficult to find for the f150 because it's older?

Help PLEASE! My 2018 Ford EcoSport has only 18,000 miles. It began have issues in January. I took it in for the "Recall 23S64 – Engine Oil Pump Drive Belt and Tensioner Assembly Failure." They say they fixed it but it is still having the same issue. They now tell me that the Head Gasket is blown and that I have to pay $5300 to fix this. Isn't this head gasket issue caused by the failed recall? They have been giving me the run around for 2 months now and I'm still without a vehicle. I thought they have to provide me with a new Long Block engine. Doesn't this recall cause the head gasket issue! I NEED HELP! How do I force them to fix this issue!?

I wanted this video to feel like stepping back into the ’90s.

PlayStation memories, VHS tapes, old magazines, iconic brands… and then one of the greatest homologation cars ever built: the Ford Escort Cosworth.

No talking. Just pure turbo sound, winding roads, and a drive that feels like a childhood dream brought back to life.

Hope you enjoy it.

Hiiiii guys,

I found a 2018 Ford Fusion Sport 2.7L EcoBoost TT with 91k miles.
they're super rare in Canada, i've only seen one in the past 4 years

The seller says it has no accidents (I’ll verify with Carfax), it’s a single-owner vehicle, and it has a full service history, all done at the dealership. They also purchased an extended warranty for it.

And surprisingly, the price is $4,900 USD. Yes, it’s real, and no, it doesn’t seem to be a scam.

I have a 2013 Ford Edge Limited with the 2.0 Turbo. The vehicle needs a transmission due to a broken case. My 2013 came with a 6f35 DT4P-7000NA and 3.21 final drive. The replacement transmission I purchased is a DE9P-7000LA with a 3.36 final drive. Does anyone know what must swapped to make this work?

When I activate Google voice assistant with my phone connected to the car, after it's finished it will resume playing the most recently played music from my phone even when the stereo was off.

My mom wants to be able to watch Netflix and stuff (not while driving obviously) in her car but finds using her phone annoying since it’s small, any aftermarket screens that run android yall would recommend?

I purchased a 2025 Expedition in Jan of 2026. Four weeks ago I walked out to a cracked windshield that has spread from top to bottom. I have been referred by my ford dealer to their preferred glass company. I have talked to three national glass replacement companies all if which say Ford has ZERO in stock on a nationwide basis!! I have written Ford and copied the GM of my dealer along with my states consumer protection department and the National traffic and safety department in Washington D.C. i bought this car and have a rather large monthly payment and cant use really use the car as it is unsafe. Any thoughts? Help!!

So my truck is just losing power and just turning off, It’ll idek half way from 0 to 1 and then just shut off. I looked and it seems like a coolant issue. In the video i tried to make it clear as possible. I’m pretty sure the issue is the part that heater hoses plug into. It’s a port that all 3 off the hoses goes into it’s loose. So the part i need help finding is that port part that connects the three hoses into the engine. At least it seems to be straight into the engine. Thanks for any help i can get.

HELP!!!!!

I'd like to replace my Trafic, which is my third and has never given me any problems except the last one with the fap.

I'm torn between the Nissan Primastar and the Ford Transit Custom.

Which one do you think is more reliable?

I'm worried about the fap with the Nissan (which is the same as the Renault), but it also has a 5-year warranty and I have a better offer than the Ford.

I've heard rumors about belt and electronic issues with the Ford, but I love it for its looks, space, and modernity.

Which one would you get? How much truth is there in the rumors?

I even considered the Transit hybrid, but is it really that bad?

Thanks so much for the replies!!
