    2016 3.5l timing question

    Just my few cents - after dealer replaced my water pump + chain and let me go I also got P0016 after few weeks of light usage. Ended up replacing all the solenoids and cam sprockets, dealer said they were also "worn out" Unfortunately cannot verify that myself and have to reply on their words...

    oil change

    Yes, highly controversial topic, beware. Below is MY VIEW on things: IMHO sweet spot is around 7.5k like the manual says, but no longer than 1 year - with COVID some vehicles just sit there with no miles. I only would consider shorter intervals if you idle a lot, especially with a hot engine...

    Strut issue

    I had have this exact issue with my 2016. Dealer quoted $550 plus taxes and fees for this - replace passenger upper strut mount. Bought on amazon (search for Motorcraft AD1147 Bracket) and replaced myself. The original was quite loose and grindy. The noise went away and then came back again a...

    Which would you choose?

    I'd say it is far more important to stick to the schedule and actually change it rather than worry about the brand (it still matters though, just not as much).

    cargo area measurements, seats folded down

    maximum I could fit was 18" by 8' long PLY sheet diagonally on top of some 2by4s (see pics attached) Front seat moved to the front & top most position and then the back is moved forward as much as it goes

    List of Useful Threads Hood Paint bubble issue only

    Some issues with our new to us 2016 limited

    no need to film, there are plenty of youtubes showing this. I trust it works on your vehicle. It just doesn't work on all, unfortunately.

    Some issues with our new to us 2016 limited

    yes, this is what I wrote I just wanted to say that this method doesn't always work, hence option 2 and 3.

    Some issues with our new to us 2016 limited

    I did, multiple times, trying key1 then key2 and vice versa. No luck. Multiple comments on other forums - same situation on 16 Limited and some other Trims. Just saying - it's a good thing to try but if it doesn't work it's not necessary you at fault. option 2 - dig into the fuse box (you need...

    Factory oil filter dissection

    I wouldn't worry about the color. Modern oil turns dark when it is simply heated, even at normal working conditions and temperatures. The color by itself is not a very good indicator.

    Deciding between 13,15 and 16(?) Limited

    That's where we are looking, 200 miles around me. There are few others with similar mileage at same price range, none 301a though.

    Deciding between 13,15 and 16(?) Limited

    So now we are looking at Ruby Red 2016 Limited with 301a + Adaptive Cruise Control @ 49k miles for $27,500 before taxes and fees and questioning if that is the correct price range or it is too good to be true?

    Deciding between 13,15 and 16(?) Limited

    Ah, somehow completely forgot about 5y/60,000mi part of the warranty, thank you for reminding me. The reason that '13 is on my list because it appears to be taken care of, but will double-check that hood, thank you for this tip. Also, while thinking about these 2, my wife and I considering...

    Deciding between 13,15 and 16(?) Limited

    2015 is a Carmax with $500 transfer free. 2013 is a dealer that claims it belonged to a local owner and was serviced with them all these years. Trying to lure service records/oasis from them now. Update: Got the records on the 2013. Oil was changed every 3k (or less miles, so 10 oil changes for...
