SUGAR 3.0TT AWD

I just upgraded and traded my 2016 3.7L AWD to a 2020 3.0TT AWD my in town driving at speeds between 30 and 40 mph. I'm seeing 19 mpg and it just keeps getting better even if I drive it in sport and drive her hard. That sounds she makes it's as if she's talking back I'm thirsty GIVE ME MORE GAS and I do and mpg is nothing what I thought it would be. It must be the intelligent AWD and it's ability to run in FWD and when you feel the need to Romp on it you can feel all 4 wheels pushing and pulling down the road. Whatever you do don't buy a 2.0T it eats more gas than the 3.0TT I forgot to mention I'm running 91 non ethanol octane fuel. I'm almost afraid to drop down to 87 octane my 3.7L NA loved 87 but not the 2020 3.0 TT AWD is light-years above the 2016 I could talk about it's creature comforts but that's for another thread in summary the 91 non ethanol premium gas at my local pump is getting conservatively 18-19 mpg in town with speeds of 30 to 40 mph. The trek home was from the dealer 7 hours away was mostly 60 mph i got 27 to 28 mpg.

@Droids1 a friend of mine has a 2017 3.0 AWD and under load his rear end make a swishing noise and once at cruising speed it goes away. It has 94,000 miles on it and the RDU has not been serviced Thanks

Droids1 - since the cost of fuel had gone through the roof I switched to 87 octane regular unleaded for my 3.7 NA. I'm getting about 18 mpg in town driving when I never saw 16 mpg using the non ethanol 91 if gas ever drops I won't go back that 18 is with the air on cold enough to hang meat almost lol.

After much shegrin I decided to create my own Facebook group and after several months of tweaking the rules I created a PG rates group free speech at the top of the agenda with a few exceptions treat everyone as you'd like to be treated, There has been almost zero drama and if anyone starts it they find the door rather quick that has been rare. Scan this QR CODE and you'll be greated with asking 2 questions and agreeing to a set of rules the rules are open and honest unlike the other groups I've belonged to.

My Lincoln/Ford dealer dropped Lincoln and Lincoln sent me a letter stating i can have all my Service work done at any Ford dealer. I have Lincolns Premium Care ESP the only one that covers the rear shocks it's the top dog. I bought thier best one when at 31k miles I took my car in for PTU fluid change and it was shot they wouldn't let me drive it home. Anyway that's why I bought thier best warranty I can afford a 100 deductible but not thousands the DRL is 1100 bucks crazy so all that's covered under high tech, electronics but your radio is covered under Audio https://lincolnprotect.lincoln.com/premiumcare as long as you have PREMIUMCARE it's almost a bumper to bumper but it's not

When that percentage reaches 50% I change my oil.

I am quite frankly sick of Facebooks stupid rules. Words that were once fine to use in a company of your friends somehow can't be used or they put you in detention it's really depressing it sure would be nice If it were easy to just transfer those members into this forum or create a subgroup

They are making a mistake they should make a slightly larger BEV MKZ available only in dual motors and a Vista roof. Colors Burgundy Velvet Metalic, Candy Red Metalic, White Platinum Metalic - all headliners only available in Alcantara - the White Platinum Metalic around have an option of red seats with an off White headliner they also need ro bring back the red Alcantara headliner if they kept the color options at a minimum you could have a high quality at lower prices. But average Joe consumer doesn't know what people want. Everyone wants an SUV of course. Only enough in this market the only unsold vehicles on the lot are SUVs I have to drive 1,000 miles to find an MKZ. If everyone wanted SUVs there would be lots full of sedans

2018 and newer lincolns have a 4G modem installed from factory. If for some reason your app isn't working take I in and have them look at it. But, your 2018 is all set.

Dealer cost of the 4G upgrade kit is $267 and from what I read you MUST pay for the part in advance the labor is free if when you place the order its still working and then the 4G modem will give you a 4 to 5 year trial. Inuse it all the time to make detailed notations when something is fixed under warranty. Because when the dealer posts the repair it's vague. It's nice to have a digital detailed service history on the vehicle. I've also heard that different dealers are charging different prices. That's what I read on a different forum they advised to call around not sure how that works since the dealer will need the 3g modem back as a core not sure why. My dealer has made a ton of money off my car for repairs $4,000 in parts my cost plus labor maybe they will cut me a deal we shall see.

Wouldn't my Premium Care ESP warranty cover this part because under the Audio section of the warranty it says Cellular Phone, Receiver, Handset, Speaker Assembly and Antenna (Factory Installed) is covered. Thoughts?

I change my oil at 50% or 6 months whichever comes first I don't drive much

BUY TGE BEST PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY BEFORE THE factory is gone. You can get a disappearing deductible. I freaked on my Certified Pre-Owned MKZ when I took it in for the PTU fluid change and they told me it was leaking BAD in 3 spots I Called Concierge and increased the length of the warranty had I known at the time you can get a disappearing deductible I would have done it. LINCOLN has paid out in parts alone it sounds miniscule compared to you $4800.00 and I haven't even paid the warranty in full yet. I went for the payment plan anyway mine covers everything except brake pads and rotors oil changes any fluid change really. Preventative maintenance is not covered but it covers all the expensive stuff I hope it's not to late and you aren't waiting for the factory to run out cuz the more miles and expired factory warranty the more you'll pay for an extended. I have a LOVE hate relationship with my MKZ as well. You said the ventilated seat fans aren't working that's more than likely the module under the passenger seat. My heated seats work so well since it was fixed it almost burns my butt our seats have 2 Peltier devices in them one in the seat and one in the back. When you run current thru one way they heat then you reverse polarity it cools the heat part blows over 100 degree heat the the seats WAS YOUR CAR BUILT ON A FRIDAY? Because mine was. All my repairs were done in 8 000 miles. If the car isn't parked in my garage it's at the dealer. Seems like most of your repairs are cosmetic. If you Facebook join the MKZ Enthusiasts group they would love to hear your story they think I'm nuts and making some stuff up at least you have a good service advisor mine is well i will say I can do thier job better at this point
