I've noticed no real difference between the two on my 5.0. Sometimes I put it in ECO to make the display green instead of blue, that's the most noticeable difference! Sometimes I put it in Sport because I like the way it sounds.

I don't have BlueCruise, but do subscribe to other connected services. I like using the Alexa (that itself is on a free trial but premium connectivity is required for advanced features. I like to use that to ask random questions about places I'm travelling through ("Alexa, tell me about...")...

I will say that despite the things not working as they should, my truck always starts up and I frequently only start it once a week. The battery management system does work as far as shutting things down to make sure there's enough power to start it.

Thank you all for your thoughts... I did purchase a battery maintainer that I mounted next to the battery so I can just plug it in when I get home. I'll leave it plugged in for a couple days and see what happens. Hopefully this battery is not too far gone, it's only a year old and this issue...

Hopefully the dealer can confirm this when I go in for my next oil change and replace the battery again. I wish I knew what was causing the drain. Last time my truck spent 2 months at the dealer and my rental was a 2-door Honda Civic.

My truck is exhibiting symptoms of a low battery charge. The most obvious is the auto start/stop isn't working. When I view that in the menu, it always says "vehicle on due to battery charging". I normally only drive the truck 2-3 days per week. Until a couple weeks ago, it has been fine...

I received the same update recently, but the recall is still listed in the app.

I purchased the 100,000 mile prepaid service including full synthetic when I bought mine new. It's had full synthetic since the first oil change at 1000 miles and I'm at 75,000 with no issues so far.

True full screen would be nice. In my 2016 Escape with Sync 3, carplay is full screen (although a much smaller screen). There is a Ford "app" icon on the carplay screen that reverts to the sync screen should I need to access something there like climate control or radio.

I have just over 70,000 on my 21, and have had no mechanical issues. I replaced the spark plugs at my last service, as recommended. Other than that, just oil changes. I follow all the recommended service intervals since i prepaid for all service up to 100,000. My only out of pocked expense...

I installed a dash cam in my truck last week. The cord is very thin and I was able to tuck it out of sight without removing any trim. It went in above the headliner, and inside the pillar on the windshield side. With the door open, I tucked behind the rubber weatherstrip and it comes out...

I have the 7500 interval plan with full synthetic. Almost 70,000 mile in, and the only thing I've paid for is tires. I had the spark plugs changed at 60,000 (per the service schedule). I do have to ask for the wipers each time, but they are covered.

I get the same message occasionally, it usually goes away the next time I drive. I've noticed it happening after I've been through a car wash in the cold weather and there may be a bit of ice on one of the sensors. Sometimes it's obvious if I'm driving in the snow and a sensor gets covered.

I just had my battery changed for the second time last week. In both cases, by battery wasn't holding a charge. I still believe there is some sort of drain on the battery that causes it to fail but if Ford wants to throw a new battery in every year or so then so be it. The truck is 3 years...

Mine use to work on my 21. I used to use it when my niece was in the back seat while going through the car wash so she could watch it on the "TV". It hasn't worked in over a year.
