    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    No...it's still there. Just not pushing on the gas hard. Have had it a couple times on my Platinum now. Mostly when I first picked it up to see what she had in normal gear selection and when using the paddles.

    2016 Explorer Sport boat/small trailer.

    With pulling a boat at 4000#'s you are correct that it would be easier to pull with the F150. For your Ex Sport here is what you can consider. I am doing the same with my Platinum but doing it to and from my cabin only. (twice/year) but here is the math I did for mine boat. The...

    Anyone ever dump their EX Sport due to their commute to work?

    you should estimate how much you would spend based on what you are driving now and spending now. It would get you in the ballpark. However, based on what you have and it having a tune I would speculate gas really isn't a priority. ;) If you have the means to do it, get a gasser for work...

    Towing: Whats the most weight you have towed?

    If you are moving to a sport to tow over the rated capacity, find a different vehicle. As I have said before, if you are within the rated capacity I think you would be OK. If your over, no deal.

    2016 sport/platinum economy/performance tune questions

    My Platinum is stock and I am getting 19-19.5. Just be prepared to stop at the gas station rather frequently. I'm just wish they had a bigger tank with this mileage.

    Towing: Whats the most weight you have towed?

    I am in no way recommending that someone tows over the rated capacity. I am just asking if the Ex, Cargo, tongue weight, trailer are all withing "ALL" specified ratings with all recommendations Ford has described for our vehicles why is it a huge concern? I have a boat that is close to...

    Towing: Whats the most weight you have towed?

    OK...don't shoot me but just want to ask. If the 16 Sport and Platinum's with the 3.5 Eco-boost is at 365hp, 360ftlb torque, and rated to pull up to 5K with a recommendation of a weight distribution hitch, why is it such a problem? Why is it hard on the tranny, etc if Ford designed the...

    Couple questions about my new 2016 Sport

    I tried this too, still cant get it off. After pulling out on the bottom I have pulled down on either side with no avail. Pulled hard too. I think I am going to break something. Going to dealer to have them take it off.
