They do. You just have to pay the Ford Performance tax. 🤣

Check eBay

Just get the Dana Spicer cover, they do manufacturer the axle after all!

Regen braking on a EV/ PHEV is always through the electric motor and NOT through the hydraulic brakes.

I just got some painted covers on eBay. Cheap, matches perfect, mounts with 3M double sided tape.

And I specifically talked about that in my first comment that you quoted.

Plenty of oil in the turbo after shutdown to handle the spin down. Boundary layer is there. If this wasn't the case, we'd see frequent turbo replacements as the norm. Not the case. Usually turbos die from seals and o-rings aging, not from scouring.

Just to trigger you. Impossible to keep clean on gravel roads.

No, that is old school mentality back when turbos were still early in their development cycle and were oil cooled. If you want to be extra careful, after seeing high loads like towing, you can idle for 30 seconds or so before shutting off. But definitely not needed everyday. But typically...

I'm very interested. BEV full size trucks are dumb as hell. The battery technology isn't there yet. Too big, too heavy, not enough range.

They will extend the recall once they sell all 2025s. Since this is a safety recall, the new vehicles would be on stop sell, damaging new sales. Hybrids get leeway, since the hybrid system can still provide drive if the ICE stops. Toyota is lying out of their ass about the manufacturing...

My guess is the magnifying effect as well. Could have happened somewhere else and you just noticed it.

Back in Montana! Bluecruise and 36 gallons makes this a very easy trip. The seats and ride quality are top notch too.

Don't.
