Question... Does that attach using stock holes or would you need to drill new ones? I'm looking at running a rooftop tent but I don't have the OEM rails, so I've been looking at ladder racks to see if I could make them work to support the tent. Or at least give me a base to work from.

I appreciate this info. I've been looking into building an air-ride setup, but I hate dealing with compressors and the like since I would lose my third row seats. The GAZ setup wouldn't be too crazy to get shipped over, but if I can make something from the states work that may be easier. I would be very interested in a write-up or at least part numbers for the install. I hate owning stock height cars.

I use mine as a family hauler...kind of. Between my girlfriend and I, we have three kids aged 8, 10, and 12. Hauling them around on the occasions that we have all three of them at the same time works well, but I don't believe that we could comfortably add two more kids (using all 5 rear seats) to the equation. In the last year and a half of ownership, I've put 7 people in it once and it was a rather uncomfortable experience. The rear heater is terrible. It doesn't seem to really make any difference in the temperature in the back. I have found though that the front heater is more than capable of keeping the whole vehicle warm, it's just not as efficient as being able to use both heaters.

You can really tell when it's been either super cold or super snowy. I generally try not to let it warm up too much, but it's been a rough winter.

It has been a while since I've posted an update. Instead of showing the whole data set (it's over 70 rows now) I made a graph. I'm about to hit 20k miles and my current average is 23.22 MPG.

Just wanted to post a follow up on this and maybe see if anyone else has had the same experience. In December I went in to the dealership for an oil change. Asked them about the status of this recall. I was told that it was still pending since the parts weren't available and they hadn't started offering preventive fixes on it yet. That same day I received a postcard in the mail from Ford saying that I needed to schedule a time to have the pump replaced because they were now available. That postcard was dated in November, but had been delayed because I recently moved. This week I received another postcard, so I called the dealership and asked again. This time I was told that I would need to bring it in for them to inspect the related parts before they ordered them. I dropped it off this morning. Never heard anything back. So I called just a few minutes ago and was told they were just finishing up. I asked them what had taken so long and I was told they had to replace the pump. So I've been told it wasn't ready and it was and then I was told it wasn't going to be fixed and now it is.

Received this notice in the mail the other day. This week I filled my tank and the gauge immediately drops to 3/4 of a tank. Hoping it's related, but also hoping it's not.

I have wondered if the Recaro seats from the Focus or Fiesta ST would fit. Since they're built on the same chassis.

My TC is named "Leroy Wilkes Booth". (LWB) My Altima is named "Al". My Golf is named "Rudolph". I name everything.

Sorry, I learned today that you can't link to Ford's website. The part number is <519A70 Here's the illustration.

Just found it. The parts website is such a pain to use. It's $146 http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=eXNGqcteU8fPCJrP1mQWpA%3d%3d&id=300579802&m=2&search=true&year=2014&make=Ford&model=Transit%20Connect

I see it on the list, but my XLT also didn't come with one. I've looked into buying it, but I can't find a part number.

To follow up, the upper tail light piece is specific to the "Titanium" wagon models. It looks like they're about $150 a piece. Part number is 13404B http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=xHFVvuRdko97SsnYQq6oVg%3d%3d&id=300540930&m=2&search=true&year=2014&make=Ford&model=Transit%20Connect

Just heard back from the dealership. They confirmed that it is an issue with the seal on the axle and that they would need to order in the parts to replace it. They also mentioned that there is a Ford "Service Advisory" out on the issue. He said the leak is small enough that I should be fine to drive it until the parts come in. I'll see if I can find out more about this "Service Advisory" and what it means.

Those aren't specific to the wagon, as my wagon does not have them. Maybe they're only on the Titanium? I'm not sure, but I would really like a set.
