    I Miss my Knobs!

    Us, too. Wanted the physical controls and happy so far. I actually wish there was a physical knob for the Rear temp control since we have younger children, but it's a fairly minor annoyance.

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    Sorry for the thread drift, but that is pretty impressive. I'm just up the road from you in Hattiesburg, MS, and we made the trip to Nashville and back recently on some of the same roads as your trip, and our '22 Limited Max (4x2, 302A, HD Trailer Tow) did 19.5 on the trip, right at 3 mpg less...

    Ordering 2023 Limited, get CCD?

    Fairly small sample size, admittedly, but very pleased with the ride of our '22 Limited with 302A, CCD w/ road preview, HD Trailer Tow, and 22's for the first 11,500 miles. I've driven a few rental Expeditions that did not have CCD, but that is the extent of my experience without CCD. I do...

    '22 camera issue made worse by dealer and others issues not resolved. . .any advice?

    Thanks, and I agree. It's been almost a week, but so far we have not not had any occasions or issues with the cruise/lane keeping being unavailable or the front camera saying it needs to be cleaned. It hasn't been cold, but it has been cooler at times (40's and 50's) during the week and we have...

    '22 camera issue made worse by dealer and others issues not resolved. . .any advice?

    Well, got a call a little after lunch that it was fixed and they were cleaning it up for me since it had finger prints on the front and back from replacing the cameras. Still not clear why the rear one had to be replaced, but it appears the cameras are working now. Will see if the...

    '22 camera issue made worse by dealer and others issues not resolved. . .any advice?

    Not what I was hoping to hear, obviously! Sorry you both have been having issues. As a bit of an update, I called and got the service manager this morning shortly after my post above. He apologized for not returning my call but said he had asked the service advisor to pull everything and put...

    '22 camera issue made worse by dealer and others issues not resolved. . .any advice?

    We ordered our '22 Limited Max (4X2, 302A, HD Trailer Tow, CCD with Road Preview, Advanced Cargo Manager, Auto Start/Stop Delete) in February of last year and it was delivered in September. Since then, we have put 11k miles on it, and overall we have loved it. The room, performance, ride...

    Running Boards

    As a bit of an update on the running board issue, we took our '22 that we have had since September and have about 11k miles on to the shop with a few minor issues (I will post more on the others later) and asked the running board setting to be looked into. The tech agreed with us and couldn't...

    Swollen Lug Nuts - Recommended Replacement?

    My dad's '09 F150 developed this issue a couple of years ago and we replaced with Dorman. Here in Mississippi we don't have salt and it doesn't get crazy cold. I always figured the "swelling" was from the repeated beatings and over-torquing with an air gun by folks rotating and replacing the...

    Oil analysis results: 0-5K and 5K-10K

    I decided to do the first oil change early on our '22, as discussed elsewhere on here, and did it at just 991 miles. The oil analysis below seems to show that wasn't a terrible idea to get that stuff out of there, but it's interesting to see how similar it is to some of those that went much...

    Best Oil Analysis Lab?

    Resurrecting an older thread, but the only complaint I have seen with Blackstone is their method of testing fuel dilution and cost. They use a flashpoint test to estimate fuel dilution https://www.blackstone-labs.com/what-is-a-flash-point/. Other labs use what are supposed to be more...

    Deleted features being retrofit

    I don't know the answer, but have you actually tried any of those features? The reason I ask, we have some friends that got a '22 Platinum in July that they ordered in early December, and while they got a credit for the seats and told theirs didn't have this feature, theirs work! I was so...

    Catch can

    I believe it comes standard with a plug, and you can either unscrew the can or remove the plug. It might come with a valve that doesn't have a hose. I'm not certain. They do have a magnetic plug option or the drain line kit. Mine, ordered with the drain line kit, came with a valve installed...
