Let's try Ford now.

[Chris GTO TT]

Totally get the heated seats and wheel. I like the keyless go and Sync as well.

Supposedly the base harness for the 302A package on my truck allows me to add the heated raptor wheel with the paddles

It seems like the trim and option packages on my truck put it in the sweet spot for easily adding things like that.

[Jeff V.]

Strangely enough, I don't have the engine bay fuse for the massaging seats. Nor do I have the fuse for the base heated-only seats. But I do have fuses for power seats, heated and cooled seats, and several other things that were never an option on the XL.

On my truck the heated wheel requires a separate control module. I actually got one with my Limited harness. So I'm one step ahead if I decide to add that. Dunno if I will though.

I need to see what I have to add to get remote start. I think that gets me back to the programming issues. The one thing Forscan can't do is theft security. New keys, BCM replacement, etc. I can't use the Ford service without a locksmith ID either.

I think you must buy a raptor wheel.

OH the massaging seats are so nice! My boss has them in his F-250 Tremor.

I do like the heated/ventilated option being available though. However that will require new seats correct? I absolutely love mine!

[Jeff V.]

I'd need new seats. Mine are base cloth, fully manual. They don't even have the knob type lumbar adjustment. I really don't want to give up my cloth though. There's a special edition black and red seat with alcantara center sections, but they're super rare and frightfully expensive to buy even the covers from Ford.

I stuck my phone up on top of the muffler and got a photo of the logo. Street Flow. The finest muffler $40 can buy with Prime delivery.

You can tell from just looking at it that is a flowmaster (or knock off. Honestly they're the same thing. Junk)

And now we know why it's droning

[Jeff V.]

I was flipping through the brochure looking at some option stuff and noticed they brag about 26mpg for this engine. I only got 21. Hmm.

[Duck Vader]

I never get bragged about mpg on any of mine.

Outback is supposed to be 24 combined. I get 19 with 50/50 driving.

Truck is not rated by the gooberment, but I get 11-12 depending on how much freeway I can average.

Vette - not sure yet. But getting a little over 20 hooning around so far.

Ford stopped producing brochures for the 2022 model year and forward, so I can’t even get a digital version. I wonder what configuration they used to get that 26mpg highway rating.

[Jeff V.]

True. I guess it could be some stripper 2WD with crank windows.

[Duck Vader]

Jeff. Want?



Bought them for mine. Gave up 1/2 through install when realized not worth the trouble. Should have most wires/connections.

[Jeff V.]

Link no work.

[DCIV]

Worked for me.

Here’s the EPA test. It’s done in a lab, on a dyno under simulated conditions.

I'll pass. Thanks though.

[Duck Vader]

No worries.

And that is with the "onboard estimajigger". Real MPG is likely less by a couple MPG's. You should track a couple fill ups to pin it down.
