  1. ETA is the 20th to the 26th. Whomever told you where it was should have been able to give you the ETA. It's in the next column over to the right.
  2. The doors on the steel trucks, when being assembled had wax daubs applied to the inside of the outer skin. There were three small holes in the bottom of the inner panel. When it went into the corrosion dip tanks, the three holes allowed the chemicals to drain. After it was painted and the vehicle went through the paint ovens, the wax melted and the holes were plugged. The door was sealed and remained dry. The new doors, for whatever reason, are being used to funnel water. The holes in the bottom of the door are remaining open to channel water. That is, IMO, where the corrosion and water problems are stemming from. It's almost like because Ford made the truck aluminum, they don't care about water seepage anymore.
  3. Different forum, but check this out. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/why-your-door-locks-dont-work-384297/
  4. This affects all of them. Doesn't matter how many doors or trim level.
  5. Everything a Lariat 502A has. Moonroof, dual climate, heated/cooled seats, leather dash, memory seats/mirrors/heated steering wheel. I don't see anything in the press photos that even hint at stuff like that.
  6. It'll fit in mine, but if given the choice of fitting in the garage and losing all the stuff I want, it can sit in the driveway.
  7. Good luck on the resolved part. Ford has had a problem with the F150 door latches freezing since the 2015 launched. The inside of the door is being used as a water channel for draining. Everything is getting corroded and the locks freeze up. There is a recall but people that have had it done are still having problems.
  8. I hope it sells like hotcakes. Wife commented last night that she'd look into leasing one when her Escape goes back. Personally, as much as I'd like to have a truck the Ranger size for myself, I'd go with an F150 because of all the features Ranger is going to lack.
  9. You can plug into 110 volt with some. Just takes forever.
  10. I've had a 2004 Escape with the 3.0, had a 2007 with the 2.5, currently have a 2011 with the 3.0, had a 2017 with the 1.5 and currently have a 2018 with the 2.0. The 2011 gets the best mileage out of all 5 of them. Love the Ecoboost, but it's more boost than Eco.
  11. You can sell all the money losing BEV's in the world, but we still don't have the infrastructure for them.
  12. We're all screwed when gas prices go back up. '09 all over again. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -George Santayana
  13. I doubt it. Personally, I don't give them out anymore.
  14. I used to give all mine out on the forum, until we started to have to give personal information to the recipients. Then I stopped.
  15. Light grey, tan, whatever. Can't stand it. I bought a black interior for a reason. To not have grey. Just like my 2009 Focus. Or our 2011 Escape.
  16. I didn't see this before. Ram 1500 is going to have a 4-cylinder turbo option? https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/detroit-auto-show/2018/01/15/marchionne-detroit-auto-show-fiat-chrysler-chinese/1033738001/
  17. I don't know if this CNN Money article has been posted, but I found the video interview with Joe Hinrichs interesting. http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/14/autos/ford-ranger-reveal/index.html
