  1. Good Morning. Could you provide any information on... 1FTEW1EF9HKD17783 Thank you
  2. It is considered a crossover. http://www.ford.com/new-suvs-crossovers/
  3. Anyone know when the new 2015 Flex is coming out? They are one of the best vehicles I have driven on the road today.
  4. I forgot after checking my records that I had the trans. oil changed at 30K. Don't know if I should do it again at 60K. I have on past vehicles, but don't really know if is necessary. Maybe I could wait until 90K.
  5. My wife's 2009 Flex is approaching 60K. Is any one changing the transmission oil at 60K? Or waiting later as the scheduled mtce. recommends? Thanks.
  6. 1000.0 gallons used. Here are some numbers as I have been tracking my MPG since my truck was new on 4/4/11. It is a year old now and still getting about the same MPG as shown in earlier posts. Not too bad on the accuracy comparison, hand vs. computer. 2011 EcoBoost SCrew 6.5' bed, 3.55 LS Hand calculation: 18124.5 miles 994.348 gallons used 18.227 mpg Computer Trip "B" picture:
  7. I have now reached the 10,000 mile mark and filled the tank up to check the lifetime numbers. After checking the numbers at various mileage intervals, my numbers have been pretty consistent. I am very satisfied with the numbers and I'll probably just use the computer from now on. Hand calculation: 9999.9 miles 549.232 gal. 18.207 mpg Computer: 9995.7 miles 546.1 gal. 18.3 mpg The computer and hand calculation are pretty close.
  8. I just did a comparison of computer and hand calculation of my MPG. Since buying the truck back on 4.4.11, I have not reset the numbers on "TRIP B". Lifetime numbers: Computer: 518.1 Gal. 9486 miles 18.3 MPG Hand Calculation from my gas receipts: 513.731 Gallons 9486 miles 18.46 MPG 518.100 513.731 4.369 gallons difference (My hand calcs have always been a little higher than the computer). I am satisfied with this. It includes only some minor towing and hauling, but mostly combined 50/50 driving. I have been able to get as much as 22.4 MPG @ 63 MPH on a 60 mile trip (that is tops for me). If I don't forget, I plan on taking some pics closer to 10,000 miles. I do have some minor issues that I will have the dealer address @ the 10,000 mile service interval coming real soon: I do have a shudder that happens at 0-5 MPH in 1st gear from a complete stop; some tire wear even after a rotate at 7000 miles; and my tailgate cable straps are not the same length and I'm afraid it is going to put a strain on the tailgate that has the cable with too much slack.

  10. Not likely on this deal.....see window sticker. He is getting ripped off. http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=1FTFX1ET5BFC45875 My criteria for 5000 mile oil/filter changes. Thanks,
  11. Certain special operating conditions...every 5000 miles, oil and filter changes.
  12. Thanks for the concern. Now, if you could get our kids in Washington to be concerned about our hard earned $$$$...........well, you know.
  13. First oil change was done at 2500. Second at 6000. My next will be done at 10000 and then after every 5000 miles. Dealer still puts a sticker in the window to change every 3000.
  14. I have a 2011 truck and the AC does not drip water. Any of you seeing this same thing on your trucks? I have checked the inside of the cab to make sure I don't have water there because of a plugged drain. I don't know what to think as all other Fords I've owned has always dripped. My wife's Flex drips like crazy. I run it in both modes...normal AC and max AC and it does not make any difference. There is hardly any condensation on the tubes in the engine compartment after a long drive and the AC cools just fine.
