Dingo Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 For the day... The ambient lighting control module for mine is being overnighted. This one's nice and everything, but I already miss my baby. I'm having separation anxiety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Nice looking vehicle! I am curious, why the trade? You had so much work into the '11, that thing was totally pimped! Planning to do the same / more with the '13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Dude... It's a loaner. My baby comes back tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 That dealership is amazing for service. You always get a loaner, and they match it to your car if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Phew, just wanted to make sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonedge+ Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 That dealership is amazing for service. You always get a loaner, and they match it to your car if they can. So you prefer Cherokee Ford for service? That's my neck of the woods... Thankfully, I haven't had to use them much, but yes, a very positive experience when I have. They gave me a Mustang convertible once for a loaner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I love Billy Howell for sales and such, but their service department is among the worst I've ever known. Cherokee is exactly opposite. Slimy sales department, amazing service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we went to CF to test drive an Explorer and I even prefaced "we are here just to test drive, not in a position to buy today, had a '97 Exploder years ago, getting rid of the current van and wanted to check out the new Explorers'...2 hours later...of course that was partly my fault as I let them give me an estimate on the wife's van (it'll only take 15 minutes, he said); started out with an offer of $6300 and before i left they said they could probably go up to $7k, maybe more...glad I did as now I have something to negotiate with later this week. I think the husband of a lady I used to work with is still in the CF service dept. He's a super-nice man; initials DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The guy I deal with there is JH. He's awesome, though. Ford said they wouldn't cover something on mine, and he got the regional Ford guy to come look at it. He called me two days after telling me they wouldn't cover it to ask if I'd meet with the regional guy. They covered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Dingo, few question if its not too much; Is there any difference in wind noise due to the smaller side view mirrors? Can you confirm, the high beam turn on function on the '13 is by pushing the turn signal stalk "away" (towards front of vehicle) where as in the '11 (like my MKX) is by pulling the stalk towards you past the detent? (both will have the "flash to pass" by pulling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 My 11 has the same mirrors, and is quieter, due to laminated side glass and dynamat on the hood. The brights function as you described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
