    Timberline BlueCruise Icon

    A new icon has recently started appearing and I had to look through the in car manual to see what it means. Apparently it’s the BlueCruise logo but there is no other info on it. Exploring it in the manual results in “content not found”. At start up recently the lane keeping assist function has...

    Taillights stopped working

    My wife and I took separate cars this eveing and she shared this pic after I passed her. I’ve got a 2023 timberline and have kept the headlights in the “auto” position since we got it less than 4,500 miles ago. The headlights were on. The taillights obviously were not. This is a pretty basic...

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    I had it installed within the first 200 miles of ownership. I’m around 1200 now and haven’t experienced any rattling, overheating, wind noises, or anything out of the ordinary. I do worry less about somebody running off with my cats when I’m out in town though.

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    The shield I originally posted about comes with those. Seems like a pretty solid product.

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    I'm curious about that too. It isn't air tight by any stretch and does have vents cut into the bottom as well as an access hole to reach the oil drain plug. I'm sure air still circulates through there when you're driving but it does close up a lot of previously open area around there.

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    Same can be said for a lot of things. This is a 4 wheel drive, slightly more capable off road trim level but I doubt any of us are going rock crawling in it. The primary reason for the purchase wasn’t off road protection but catalytic converter theft protection. I live and work in a major city...

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    I get where you’re coming from but in the real world this isn’t practical. Do you bring all that with you and leave it in a parking lot when you’re shopping, or going to baseball game? Are you standing watch after you park or do you go inside the place you just drove to?

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    Couldn't agree more about garage parking and thats where I keep mine when I'm home. These guys get people at the grocery store, malls, etc and I just wanted peace of mind knowing mine was a harder target than most. Hopefully they'll get a look under there and move on to an easier car, like...

    Catalytic Converter Protection - 2023 Timberline

    Picked up my new 2023 Timberline earlier this week and talked with the parts guys while I was there about any kind of protection available for the catalytic converters. According to them Ford offers nothing. The Ford dealer also owns a Toyota dealership nearby and the Ford parts guy directed me...
