Not anymore, he has issues with his top after 3 weeks. Infact, he is quoted in the article with his issues posted on g6.

Post in the correct forum for help.

Most of the transmission issues were 2 things... programming (2.3L) which has been resolved from majority of posts I go through daily on the explorer forum and facebook. The other was trans failures due to the trans cooler failing and leaking fluid. There was a TSB on this as well as a recall to replace them. Most know you can't take CR for what they claim to be.

I'd have no concerns, again, the Explorer ST uses it and there are tons of tuned ones out there ripping it up on the road with no trans issues from the power. https://www.motor1.com/news/520758/ford-bronco-has-explorer-transmission/ "Ford has confirmed that the Bronco uses the same 10R60 gearbox found in the Explorer, though customers concerned about durability shouldn’t worry. Ford raced a stock Bronco with the stock gearbox in this year’s NORRA Mexican 1000 off-road rally to a third-place finish Ford is producing the Bronco alongside the Ranger that uses the older 10R80 gearbox, though Ford is using it in the Ranger for very specific reasons. The 10R60 in the Bronco is rated to handle the output from the Bronco’s two available engines – the 2.3-liter and the 2.7-liter. The Bronco’s gearbox is lighter with a lower internal mass, reducing parasitic loss, and it’s more efficient than the 10R80, too."

They offer their 3/36k because it would void the Ford warranty (only if reported to Ford by dealer or through inspection). No different then FP or Roush. The 5/60 would be gone.. however if you have an ESP, no telling what you could or couldn't get away with.

The Explorer ST has the same trans and many people are running tunes well into the 500+. Should be no problem with the 10r60

Wrong forum and you don't have enough posts. I'd recommend reading the rules in the tracking forum.

Just passed this in NH

One of the most informative posts I've read in a long time. Thanks for posting/sharing that

So we go from a posted article to then agreeing it is misleading which means it is pointless.. so then have to ask, why post it.

It's an easier pill to swallow when you are buying them at or close to cost. In the US, it's close to 40% off retail. Then when you break it up into 24 monthly payments, it's even easier (at least in the US). http://fordcanadawarranty.ca/ The link above is who I was referring to. Although can't promise the best deal, they told me they are still competitive and most likely lower then everyone else. Doesn't hurt to get a quote

Completely agree. After 15 years, finally switched dealers because I couldn't take it any more. My last straw was when the pivot my wiper transmission snapped. Dealer refused to warranty it. Had to escalate it and took almost 2 weeks for Ford to cover a part covered by my ESP, not accessible to the customer so impossible for me to physically break it and would not explain to me why it isn't covered. I usually wait till I have a full list of issues before taking it in to try and minimize how many visits I have to make. Another was just last week. I complained about the reverse sliding collar of my 6 speed not always going down by itself. Almost slammed into a curb putting it in 1st and it really went into reverse due to the lockout not fully down. Service advisor calls me and says " you have an aftermarket shift knob". Stopped him right there.. not caused by a shift knob.. absolutely ridiculous he would even bring that up. Guy had never heard of this type of complaint... Told him afterwards there is a TSB on this exact issue. Just amazing!!

Fire was in Japan, not China.

up in flames in a matter of days.. https://www.yahoo.com/news/brand-tesla-model-plaid-spontaneously-224528567.html "A brand-new Tesla Model S Plaid spontaneously burst into flames while its owner was driving it" Crazy that it takes 90 minutes of water from a fire hydrant to extinguish it because of the battery.

I agree with you that they are safe. I've tuned every Ford I've had with a turbo and have never had issues with them. However, every time Ford has increased power, they have increased the strength of some of the internals or transmissions. So with that, I wonder why they go through the whole "powertrain upgrade" just to squeeze out a little more power (less than what tuners are doing). Has to be things we just don't know about.

The aftermarket tuners aren't paying for warranty claims.

Another option is try to turn the steering wheel slightly. That will restart the engine as soon as you put any type of turning pressure on the wheel.

The 2nd is easily achievable when they don't sell many compared to the Big 3 or change their vehicles design for over a decade.

My 18 gt350 that I bought used in Nov is worth $10k more now then what I paid 7 months ago.

I remember paying $63k for my 15 F350 CC Platinum with the 6.7 brand new. Prices are just stupid.

No, COVP was mentioned once in this thread about it being enhanced. There was no explanation of what it was. A license to my knowledge has always been required (at least in every ordering experience I have ever done. Being that to me is standard, my point was no order needs to be signed. THAT is what I meant regardless of how you took it With that being changed now, again, I appreciate being corrected on that. But it didn't need to be this difficult or take this long to be told this is a new process and what the process actually involves.

Fair enough. Things have changed and I appreciate being corrected with how it is done now. What I don't care for is people posting someone is wrong yet don't state what is wrong or posting the correct info (not referring to you). If one doesn't want to politely correct someone with the new or proper info, then don't bother posting as it doesn't help other members.

I think you need to reread my posts. I specifically said orders opened in March for 2022s and that there was no way a 2021 order could have been placed last month (May). Post # 2. So you are saying a 2021 order could be placed in May or are you saying you don't know what I posted since I never said that.

I ordered my 2007, 2011, 2015 and two 2020s and have never signed any document prior to completing the sale. Yes, I've had to send a picture of my license which isn't a big deal. My comment/reply was in regards to signing the order sheet. These were dealers in VA, MI and NH so not even the same dealer. Granted these were all Fords and not Lincolns but figured it would be the same process. My bad.

So if it is incorrect and misleading, then why don't you correct me instead of just stating that and leaving it open ended. I'd think the other members would want to know the correct info.
