R2D2

On the lighter side

Don't forget to

Sounds dangerous.... I would ask them to tow it in too

Isn't that the part number? W715622-S439 https://www.oemfordpart.com/oem-parts/ford-torque-arm-bolt-w715622s439

Just saying, The web traffic has been insane high since this coronavirus work at home/stayin started.... maybe that is affecting the data traffic as well. You might be chasing a ghost

I remember those concerts at Jones Beach well, lived in Levittown and then North Bellmore for most of my adult life. Plenty of concert opportunities here, St Augustine, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Daytona Beach are the closer ones and a little further drive if you wanted to go to Jacksonville or Orlando.

Sorry Rick, but they are gone, thought I posted that here but I must have been dreaming. Edited to add - I did post the SOLD information in the "classifieds" section

Wow, I am surprised considering what I experienced and learned from owning a MKZ hybrid. To answer your original question since I never had to do one, I cannot recommend a brand.

How much mileage on your 2017? I just traded in my 2014 Hybrid in with over 84K and original brakes were still in the "Green"

Thank you, So far so good, they finally got the tow hitch on and I'm adjusting things to accommodate the bike rack. I do owe a promised picture here of that set up. They did install the roof crossbar backwards which gave a howling noise while driving but that has been corrected. Other then that I have not had a single issue. The MKZ was the first hybrid I owned and I was absolutely thrilled with the milage and smoothness of the operation. I am not a jack rabbit type driver and had my cars maintenance schedule followed so there was never an issue due to lack of maintenance. I truly found that hybrids ate more tires. This is just a fact of life and at above 80,000 miles I was having my 4th set of tires being installed on the car before I traded it in. The number of "warranty" repairs also seemed higher then any other car I ever owned (except for my 2013 MKZ 2.0T which ended up being a subject in a lemon law claim but that is another story, if you care to read about it, It is within this older thread). The Escape appeared to be a little too small for what I needed and I considered an Edge but the salesman and I never connected and I was put off by him. He just wanted to sell what was in stock and on the lot and never understood my needs and wants.

Lemon Laws vary from state to state.and I only had to use them once on a new car (in Florida) which value started at the MSRP, not what you paid for it. You should either contact the your State Attorney General office or research your state's law on line to see how it works for a used vehicle.

I had my MKZ for 5 years and did go through the car wash with the shade open, never saw a drop at all.

Was going to recommend the same thing. Where are you located Jim?

Per the other thread's link, it is going to be an SUV

The forum has decent traffic considering it specializes on one vehicle and found the information great. Thanks for the compliment. Palm Coast is on the other side of the state between Daytona Beach and St Augustine. We built the house back in 2002 in anticipation of it one day it would be our retirement home. We made that come true in May 2010 retiring from Long Island NY. Sorry for the lousy weather you guys are having but we have a chill right now too..... But no snow and we don't miss it.

The Mats are gone

For one maybe two but when I need to transport four there is no way, thus the need for the rear trailer type bike rack. Once I get all the parts, I'll post a picture of it all together.

Lol ? no I won't, got a great nav sys in the new car too. ??

I have a full set of OEM Black (Ebony) carpeted mats with Lincoln logo from my now gone 2014 MKZ These were never used in the vehicle and are like brand new (I always used weathertech) These list for $117 for the set as noted on this site but I will sell for $75 (including shipping to Cont US 48 states) [ All proceed will go to my charity bike shop http://thebikemenofflaglercounty.com/ Wouldn't you like a new set of mats for your MKZ?? Grab them before they are gone.! https://accessories.lincoln.com/vehicles/mkz/2014/interior/floor-mats.html These should fill all years of MKZ from 2013 and up

Here you go, just took them this morning after moving my vanity plate, R2D2 stickers etc.

I did but here in Florida Hybrid SUVs are almost non-existent from all manufacturers. They claim the market isn't here and justify it by saying it is because they are worth more in states that have income tax rebates for fuel efficient vehicles. What a crock Meanwhile there are plenty of Hybrid sedans and other passenger car models. Makes no sense to me. I also did an evaluation of additional costs due to the MKZ being a hybrid. I did this because I had just put on my 4th set of tires Christmas eve, and that was at 83K miles so the [total] savings are not all they are cracked up to be. That and all the trips to dealer for warranty repairs convinced me to change my thoughts about hybrids. I went looking then for a fuel efficient 4 cyl small SUV that had all the bells and whistles (because I was now spoiled). After much shopping around (yes I was color picky too) I ended up having to drive 120 miles yesterday to get exactly what I wanted (well almost), made a good deal and got a good trade in value too for the MKZ, so overall I am happy with it. Dealer will pickup the car to install the trailer hitch and roof crossbars when they come in and then deliver it back to me as they are across the state in Gainsville.

I look forward to it?

No Chris... A Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 2.0T FWD with all the bells and whistles. Actually built in Alabama... More American then the MKZ.?
