SafeLite, Riteway and other glass installers will first attempt to install aftermarket made in China glass - confirm with them first and get your Insurance to approve OEM.

Approaching tire replacement time again - almost time for the 4th set of tires. Original Pirelli 50,260 miles Atturo 31,000 miles Bridgestone projected 40,000 miles Costco just recently started selling Pirelli so will be going with them seeing as this brand gave me the most mileage. Tires & Auto | Costco Bridgestone's 80K mile guarantee is a scam. Atturo would be the best bang for the buck but they seemed to get flat spots when parked for a few hours in cold weather and takes a few miles for them to smooth out, and don't want the hassle of frequent tire changes.

GENERAL SERVICE BULLETIN Adaptive Cruise, Pre-Collision And Collision Avoidance System Functionality Diagnostics 25-7042 25 April 2025 This bulletin supersedes 23-7031. Reason for update: Service Procedure and vehicle model years affected Markets: North American markets only Summary This article is intended to aid in the warrantability for vehicles with difficulty resolving IPMA or CCM alignment and/or functionality concerns. Service Information Adaptive cruise control and pre-collision assist systems can use a forward windshield camera only IPMA or a combination of IPMA and a CCM. Make sure which system is present on the vehicle so the system evaluation is completed properly. The forward collision system warning indicator will be illuminated when the vehicle is in transport mode. Prior to any diagnosis, make sure the vehicle is not in transport mode. For further information on transport mode, refer to WSM, Section 419-10. Using the FDRS tool, check the PID for "ALGN_OFF -CCM". A value greater than +/-3 degrees indicates a mounting issue with the CCM, not necessarily a defective module. Check for CCM or mounting surface damage and aftermarket components (shown below). CCM Alignment Incorrect: If issue remains after addressing outside factors, perform the CCM alignment procedure. Refer WSM, Section 419-03, Cruise Control Radar Alignment. Notes regarding radar drive alignment: Locations of IPMA/sensor and CCM sensor IPMA (near rear view mirror) forward windshield camera (Figure 1) Figure 1 CCM (in the front grille, either visible or behind bumper) RADAR sensor (Figure 2) Figure 2 Examples Of Non-Warrantable And Warrantable Conditions IPMA/ CCM functions can be affected by several factors that are not indicative of defect.

Make sure ya don't purchase the factory tray that goes in the center console. The ones on Amazon for around $16.00 are deeper and way nicer.

Thank you for all the great info. Haz directed me to another thread, and I was able to locate one through another forum member. The part number he has is KT4Z-5811778-C which I believe can be easily modified to fit. I too had to order and install the missing hood insulator blanket. In addition, the little rubber mat that goes in the forward passthrough of the center console was missing. It was about 45 bucks! And the little plastic tray that goes in the center console wasn't there. What a joke. Shame on Ford for doing this. Do they really want vehicles out on the road with missing parts? Let alone parts of the vehicle flapping around while driving down the highway? Sad.

Just installed the factory hitch, wiring, and module on my 2022 Titanium. All the part numbers are still the same. I had power to the brown/red wire already, so it was plug and play. I'm not concerned about trailer sway so I'm not going to activate it. I bought the wiring manual before I got started (I also have one for my 2015 titanium) and I can confirm that the wire runs down the passenger side, through the firewall, and directly to the under hood fuse panel from 2015-2022. On the post about the wire behind the OBD connector- that may be MKX specific so beware. -
I have 285 35 22s on my ST. Check out my "Black Mamba" in my profile.

Welcome. You could use the below website to see if the 275's will work - need your rims width. https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=255&aspect=50&diameter=19&wheelwidth=9&offset=37&width2=315&aspect2=35&wheel_size=20&wheel_width=11&offset2=28

I've recently modded my car, and I'm running on 245/50 R20 on my wheel setup. I've had it for about a year, but I'm just looking to get wider tires and a new look. I like the 245, but I've gotten used to it, and I want my tires to be a bit flushed out of the fender. I've been doing research all day, and they say the 265 will fit, but it's still kinda not giving the look I want. I’m mainly leaning towards going with the 275, but I'm just unsure if it would rub or cause issues. Any advice on which route I should take?

The part number is KT4Z-5811778-D. It is titled as "Deflector - Air." When I first got the car I noticed how the back bumper cover over the trailer hitch was loose. Also, someone I know was driving behind me and they said the bumper cover was flapping in the wind. Just ridiculous for a new car, so I ordered the part and the dealer put it on for me. They were shaking their head about it as well. This part does a good job of stabilizing the bottom of the bumper cover.
