Make the tremor on the F-150 an option package on all models, not just its own trimline. I want an F-150 Platinum Tremor Hybrid Supercharged Coyote!

Now only if they would make the tremor a package on the F-150 like it was originally instead of its own trim line. Why can't I get a Platinum interior on a Tremor. There is no reason a suspension and tire package should be exclusive to a single trim line.

That is true. My local dealership moved our saleslady to a delivery specialist (she isn't far from retirement), to handle educating customers, and hired a few new people, but they all give me that used car sales person vibe.

If Lincoln wants new market share they have to have something that differentiates them. We like Lincoln because the interiors are nicely designed, but I am not buying a Lincoln that also doesn't have power. That is why we got the hybrid Nautilus, it had more power. You want to lure buyers from MB, BMW, Caddy, and Lexus, you have to offer something that competes. An offroader (Bronco based or Aviator based) will pull from Lexus GX and Range Rover, offer an A/T package on a short bodied Navi to compete against the LX, more power options for the Aviator and Nautilus to compete against the MB GL series and BMW X series, get a performance electric coupe and sedan to compete against the Caddy blackwing and MB and BMW coupes and sedans. And get the quality right, can't have constant recalls and software bugs. Oh and hire younger sales staff, keep a few old codgers on to serve that crowd, but Z'ers aren't buying from grandpa.

That is great. Too bad they didn't say if or when all of us 2024 Nautilus owners will get upgraded to 1.4 or 1.5. The current one we are on is rather annoying at times. They might get a lot more usage if they got existing customers to the latest versions.

It is the opposite. For medium duty (F-450 chassis cab to F-650) and heavy duty (F-750) the engines must be dyno certified. The regulations are much stricter, which is why dyno certified engines are rated at much lower power and torque numbers in order to meet the EPA regulations. The rules do account for GVW, in that the emissions are scaled in a g/tonne metric instead of an absolute number, which is why you can have really big displacement engines in class 8 trucks, but probably couldn't put that same engine in a class 5.

Probably not worth the cost of EPA emissions certification.

You won't be able to tow a 12,575 lb 5th wheel with the 6.2L and 3.73 gears. The axle ratio is what is your limiting factor. You will need to find one with a 4.30 rear end which bumps the GCWR to 23,000 lb. The 3.73 rear is designed for highway mileage and hauling payload around, not pulling a trailer.

Your best resource is parts.ford.com. From looking, besides fuel lines and vapor lines, the only parts that are involved in the fuel injection to the rail are the fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor (not a regulator) and the fuel pump driver module.

If it is worse after you refuel, you might have a bad vapor canister purge valve. If it is stuck open it will "flood" the engine and cause a hard start. Usually you will have related codes to the purge valve though. You can take it out and try blowing through it, if you can blow through it, it is stuck open and replace it. If you can't it is either working or stuck closed, but if it is stuck closed you shouldn't have the hard start condition.

You can keep throwing parts at it, but it sounds like you really need to hook it up to diagnostics that you can monitor a bunch of stuff. I could think of several things like a partial sensor failure or fuel pump relay. It could also be a low voltage problem.

First of all, why would you take a brand new '25 Dark Horse and hack it all up? Was it totaled? It would be far cheaper to go the crate motor route than hack up a dark horse and try to fight all the integration gremlins. Benefit of the crate motor is that the control packs are take out all the unnecessary stuff, and only worry about the engine and transmission. Then you can build an aftermarket gauge cluster from there.

Bob, the "System off to Save Battery" is your warning. You most likely have an AGM battery in that so make sure your charger is AGM compatible. The short drive cycles are not good for the AGM's long term, although they will hold that charge longer. I have found that whenever I get the the low battery warning, it only takes 1 night of charging with my NOCO Genius 10 to get it back in shape.
