The fact that The UK version meets the euro emissions and would not require much for the US standard. You should get in touch with Ford Fleet operations and they might have a program. Fiat Chrysler has the program for the Wranglers . All the Wranglers up here are the four door and were sourced from a dealer.

Did you ever figure out the Air Bags?

Looking at Windguys hitch pictures the scooter Lift would really torque the hitch tube. I bought my TC off the Lot so it did not have a factory hitch. The aftermarket Hitch has a more conventional loading to it might handle the scooter lift better. What is the weight of the Scooter and the Lift?

I wonder if Ford is smart enough to be able to lets a UK version be sold as a Mail vehicle. The TC already comes with the right set up.

Very cool, welcome!

Like Windguy I am wondering the reason for the hitch removal? If you just don't like the receiver under the bumper. then it would be easy to find some one with a Plasma Cutter and in about 10 minutes it could be edited from the vehicle.

That look like a very good partition. When you have time up load a Video of how it works. Fifty 150 you are a city person, once you get to a rural area all the Mail Carriers own there own vehicles. The popular carrier around here is a Jeep wrangler with right hand Drive

The electric steering assist is set up to center the wheels, which amplify's the torque steer. Had a 1978 Olds Tornado, that had torque steer!

If you order the TC with the Rails, they are definitely put on at the factory before the headliner goes in.

You are correct the shield is on there for the mileage and air flow. I am not sure that the rocks mud and stumps were much of a concern on this van. The front air dam is there to let you know when you have pulled into the parking spot far enough. You might have heard that someone asked Henry Ford what he would do to improve the cars one year, His answer was a pan to catch the bolts that fell off! It looks like they finally did it.

It has been my experience that the Lincolns and the Cadillac's have the same cheap stuff as the Fords and the Chevrolet's on the stuff that you do not see they just come with lots more stuff that you can see. The splash shield screws are lost by the Jiffy Lube people one at a time until the whole shield disappears into the dark one night.

The scanner I have will stop the learning process or erase the history. Your engine going through a learn process to fit the Pcm of the Tc would totally fit your experience.

Sound like the front socket are bad. Are the rear lights ok?

Did you find the cabin filter access door on the heater housing on the glove box side? You need to see what Is in the filter.

The inclusion of the Tow hook ended when the Gen 2 was released for the US market. If you own a Gen 2 and you are in a place where you could slide off the road you should purchase a tow hook.

Nice Photo Fifty 150, Just remember all the filters have a bypass that sends the oil around the filter on cold starts and full throttle situations. I can see there is no mud and salt where you live, my photo would not be as clean!

Cool ! Do you know if the engine went in with all the sensors or did the installer put your sensors on it? Could you have gotten a 2.3?

The frame-less wipers are pretty good , I when I changed the blades on the TC I went from 28inch blades to 26 inch blades it reduces the load on the wiper arms , which helps in a heavy snow storm.

The Tpms Light will come on if the pressure is lower than 36 lbs.. If you use different wheels with different sensors you need make the TC recognize them. If I run more than the 36Psi in the front the center of the tire wears more rapidly than the outside. I Run the rear at 40 and the tires wear well and even.

Very Nice Job!! No the Port-a-potty is in the left rear corner.

Well every place has its good points and bad points. I am not a big fan of the so called winter wipers. If everybody showed up in Southern California then they would need even more rules.

The electric cabin heater is an option . The TC is a fine winter vehicle once you get familiar with switching off the Traction Control. The heater is good in the front, Once you learn the set up the Rear heat is adequate. Have not installed the Block heater yet , It starts fine , the coldest start I have done is -25F . Winter tires make a difference.

I used the Valvoline LV compatible fluid for the Second fluid change and it had the same dark color as the Mercon LV fluid. I am using this fluid Triax Global Synthetic ATF - OEM Grade Compatible with Allison TES 295, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, VW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler +4, Ford Mercon V/LV,... for the third change I will let every one know how this fluid holds up. The temp of this Transmission is above 175 F all the time and that may make the fluid work hard. The temp of the L480E in My 3500 Chev express is around 140-160 F . I Report in 22000 miles

It is heat shrink tubing and it makes the funnel long enough to put in and be able to not make a mess when you add fluid. As a side note I used the Valvoline LV compatible fluid for the Second fluid change and it had the same dark color as the Mercon LV fluid. I am using this fluid Triax Global Synthetic ATF - OEM Grade Compatible with Allison TES 295, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, VW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler +4, Ford Mercon V/LV,... for the third change I will let every one know how this fluid holds up. The temp of this Transmission is above 175 F all the time and that may make the fluid work hard. The temp of the L480E in My 3500 Chev express is around 140-160 F . I Report in 22000 miles.

As you have said many times ,at least here in the states most of the TC's are commercial that kills the performance parts demand. With the trans the PCM adapts the shift points , so if you clear the shift point memory you can change the transmission shift points to match your driving style. I think Ford wound most of the power out of this engine.
