    Did you experience any of the out-of-memory conditions solved by the 23088 build?

    New SYNC Version 3.4.23088

    I'm experiencing the out-of-memory condition on mine, Sync 3.4 build 22251. It forgets the number of preset pages and SiriusXM defaults to channel 0, RADIO ID. It's super annoying. I had automatic updates turned on. Sounds like this out-of-memory condition is happening to F150s and Broncos too...

    Multiple suspension noises

    That definitely sounds like what I'm hearing inside the cabin. Any ideas for fixes?

    How to: Missing Hitch Cover??

    You met me at an animal hospital years ago in my blue Terminator and sold me a thermostat. I remember liking the Explorer Sport you had and now here I am coming from a 16 Sport to an ST. Ford should give you a finders fee.

    Missing Part - Rear Air Deflector

    Am about to buy this ST tomorrow. I have it on test drive till tomorrow. It does not have the rear lower air deflector. I plan to ask the dealer to install one. For some other reason it didn't come with all weather mats either, so either Weathertech or I'll ask the dealer to throw those in too.

    How to: Missing Hitch Cover??

    Am about to buy this ST tomorrow. I have it on test drive till tomorrow. There's no cover on the trailer hitch which I find weird too, coming from a '16 that had a nice glossy cover there.

    Turbo whine....CAI?

    Turbos don't whine, they whistle. Yes you'll hear it better with a CAI.

    Treadwear Issue with Ventus S1 Noble 2 Hankooks

    My dealer tried to get Hankook to replace the tires but they wouldn't do anything. Ford stepped up, and offered to cover 60% off a new set. I asked, pretty please another brand, but the offer was only good for the Hankooks. I have to get the work done before I hit 22k miles, otherwise the...

    Treadwear Issue with Ventus S1 Noble 2 Hankooks

    I'm a victim of the abnormally quick wear on the Hankook tires. I noticed the other day that at 19k miles I have between 2-3mm of tread remaining. A buddy told me there was a problem with these and after a quick Google it seems it's true. I'll see what the dealer can do for me and then contact...

    2015 3.5 ecboost mis shift in "sport" mode

    I see this sometimes on my tuned '16 XSport. The 1-2 shift is weird/slow at WOT, but the rest of the shifts are crisp.

    towing performance

    2018 F150 Diesel will get 30mpg. It comes at a premium. Depending on how much towing you are doing this might be worth it. https://jalopnik.com/the-2018-ford-f-150-diesel-should-score-30-mpg-highway-1821871761

    towing performance

    +1 V8 or Diesel or Ecoboost. No matter any way you slice it, towing will destroy fuel economy. A diesel will do better, maybe an F250 SuperDuty or Silverado 2500 would fare better,

    2017-18 sport rims on 2011-2015? Picture?

    I actually like the sport wheels on the pre-2016 Sports more than the post-2016s.
