    Advice on dealing with a dealer?

    question for anyone that has tried to fight the dealer on the cost of a repair. Long story short I got an oil change and tire rotation today, they come out after the tire rotation to tell me I need a “broken” lug bolt replaced for $80. They didn’t end up having one in stock so I have to return...

    V6 and a travel trailer

    Yeah I’ve done a bunch of reading on the frontal area recommendations, in the owners manual it has a 40 square feet limit, but the fwd explorer is limited to 20 square feet. I find that hard to believe, because even small trailers have more than 5x4 frontal areas. I’m sure it would lower mpg if...

    Is an Extended warranty (ESP) worth it?

    Im finally finishing the purchase of a 2016 XLT tomorrow at Carmax. I’m purchasing the vehicle from Carmax for about 28k with 35500 miles on it. The powertrain warranty should be good up until 60k as I understand but the bumper to bumper will expire by next week. Carmax offers a full warranty...
