    94 in hotlanta today.
  2. The trailer sway causes yaw (side to side rotation) in the vehicle which can be countered by braking individual wheels the same as when you're going around a corner too fast. It also applies the brakes overall to slow down the vehicle.
  3. Funny - we did the same thing for the same reason. Especially the passenger seat on our 2014 Titanium. It felt like you were sitting on a phone book (for you old-timers who remember phone books). Gave it to our daughter and got the 2016 MKX. So much better....
  4. Sorry, I was thinking about the Lincoln MKX dealer inventory that shows 301A Reserve, etc. but I just realized that the packages map to the Models (Select, Reserve, etc.) and that wouldn't be the case on the Edge. You can get a good idea from the MSRP though - starting at the higher or lower end of the pricing for that particular model. I remember having to do that while looking for F150s last year.
  5. That will work. You probably only need the basecoat pen.
  6. Not until the order guide shows up which is still a couple of months away. No big changes expected.
  7. It's like stability control - prevents the trailer from swaying back and forth.
  8. Does the Ford dealer inventory search work in Canada? In the U.S. you can search nearby dealers within a 90 mile radius or so on your own.
  9. You can get the base coat touch up paint from paintscratch.com. Should match just fine without the mid-coat.
  10. I think the carbon is from direct injection, not regular gas.
  11. The interior code is not paint, it's the color of the dash, seats, carpet, etc. White platinum is a 3 part paint - base, mid-coat and clear. The mid-coat is what gives it the pearlescence appearance and I don't think they apply the mid-coat to the door jambs, etc. - just the base coat.

    Can't do the dry stuff. Give me a salt rimmed Margarita or Mojito!
  13. I know where Waldo is getting his information and it's trustworthy. There is no point continuing to argue this one. Topic closed.
  14. If you mention killing yourself one more time I'm pulling out the drama queen memes.
  15. Yes it does. You just don't want to use it that way. I guarantee if you set the temp to 72 and just change the fan speed it will work just fine. There is no NEED to change the temp constantly. Full automatic mode works fine, too. Unless I'm making a hands free phone call I never need to adjust the temp more than a degree or two.
  16. It's not coming back. You can jump up and down and gripe all day long but it's not coming back. You could always trade it for one with manual A/C.
  17. Yes you can use voice control. I share your pain. My daughter (21) refuses to use the auto climate control. I've tried to show her how to adjust the temperature but she simply refuses to even listen to my explanation of how it works and how to use it. At least she only adjusts the fan speed. At least the wife uses it correctly. I also noticed that our 2016 MKX is super quiet even on high fan speed whereas my 2013 Fusion is very loud. That makes it easier but I do like the 3 levels that Waldo described for the Continental.
  18. Topic moved to the appropriate section.
  19. I'm an IT architect. You know that software companies remove features all the time and they never tell you why. And you're not going to convince us that it's dangerous.
  20. You can repeat it over and over but that's not going to bring it back. I gave you 2 options to make it easier but I guess you only want to complain.
  21. Ok that's usually called Ad Valorem tax which is a form of property tax. The reason I asked is because that process varies from state to state so whatever your state calls it isn't applicable to other states. Yours may call it a truck - mine may call it a car.
  22. Yes - check the drain holes on the bottom of all 4 doors. You may have trapped water.
