Call them? I tried googling that wheel but couldn’t find the specs elsewhere. Don’t buy a wheel without checking that spec.

I opted for TSW Sprint for my winter package, 18x8.5” size with I think 40mm offset. No issues after a full season of use last year. When shopping for wheels, be sure to check the load capacity of the wheel…this really cut down the number of options. It’s somewhere in this forum if you want to...

I‘m trying! Phil Long in Colorado Springs isn’t prioritizing recall work, they’re scheduling 3 months out. Have a dealer in Montrose interested in doing the work, but there’s only one mobile glass guy in that area so I’m at the mercy of that scheduling….almost got it done last week though (But...

Yeah mine just fixed itself, maybe a day, I don’t recall, but it didn‘t take long.

My local ford dealer Phil Long Motor City in Colorado Springs, is apparently uninterested in doing recall work…I decided to finally schedule the windshield and roof recall work, but they‘re scheduling out in December at this point! The lady on the phone said there’s only one person assigned to...

I’ve been using the orange Rain-X fluid for ~32000 miles now on my MME with no issues.

This is a dangerous ”fix” though it makes sense as a backup safety feature, to monitor temps like that. I spend lots of time driving two lane rural highways and frequently passing other cars. I time my passes based upon what my car can offer for acceleration. If I’m in the middle of a pass...

I’ve put about 25k miles on my ER AWD, mostly on rural highways in Colorado (I drive back and forth between Woodland Park and Ridgway often). With snow tires, winter range has been on the 190-210 range…I think the larger battery is a must for cold climates like this, you won’t regret that choice.

Same here…there are a few locations where I consistently experience the CarPlay connection cutting in and out.

Well since it’s stuck in your garage, could you hook a charger up to the 12V battery to see if that helps?

Averaging about 60mph with temps in the teens, I’m getting around 200 range (more like 240miles in 30 deg weather). Precondition the car and be cautious of your heat usage and you should be fine.

After trying different modes, I’ve settled on Whisper, no 1PD, as being the best. Whisper as it’s easier to be gentle with throttle inputs, and no 1PD to allow me to more easily coast through ice when the road is variably icy and clear. This was really useful on Monarch Pass for example.

You won’t really know until you’re at the dealer signing the paperwork. I had arrangements with mine for x-plan pricing, no ADM, and a limit on the doc fees. I had all that in writing, via text messages with my sales guy. Even still, they added those stupid “security stickers“ to all the car...

I keep ours in the rear all times….it takes a lot of cargo space but is worth the peace of mind on the rural routes we take.

I’ve been tracking this data on a 240 mile route I do often, which hasn’t required stopping to charge until lately when I installed winter tires. The data never matches, the calculated mi/kWh is always lower than what the trip meter shows. Another factor will be cold…I‘m not getting 88.8kWh...
