Going to look at a low mile 350z tomorrow. Checked out a MINI S today and found it, uuuum, let's just say lacking.

Now that I'm no longer racing motorcycles I really had no need for my '16 XL TC. It was a great vehicle, never gave me any problems, and I'll definitely miss it but it's time for something sporty. I was stunned that Carvana gave me damn near what I paid for it new 6 years ago. This forum has been terrific providing useful information and assorted kindred spirits. Thanks to everyone, good luck and stay safe.

Good luck finding one. Even if you do find one, it won't be the base $20k model and expect to pay well over MSRP.

I bought my '16 new in Nov '16 and have 48k on it now. Only problem was with the fuel injection system at 2k and Ford fixed that. I used it to transport my race motorcycles for 3 years, sometime pulling a small trailer. Average mpg since new had been 26.2mpg, per the computer. I did upgrade the sound system and added Focus 17" rims but no other significant mods. For the $20k price, there's no better bang for the buck out there. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

PN is DT11-14A433-B for the XL part with just the front windows and mirror controls. Took a while but I found one. complete with the switch, for $25 on ebay.

No idea about the codes but I had similar symptoms with my '16 at about 5k miles. Turned out it was something with the fuel injection system.

I mounted an aluminum plate with 3/8" spacers that's properly centered then put the tag on that.

I paid just under $21k before t&t for my new '16 XL cargo in October 2017 so to me those prices seem a bit high. If I remember correctly, the sticker was around $26k.

Everything has changed. For those who survive physically and financially, the cultural changes are going to be massive. No going outside without a mask anymore. No more restaurants. No more churches. Any live gathering is history. NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, NASCAR, MLS, all gone. Like iRacing? Get used to it because once the powers that be future out e-games are just a popular and vastly less expensive, that's all we're going to get. Welcome to the brave new world.

That thing is fuggly from here to Sunday. It looks like a little Nissan that OD'd on steroids.

Designed by Bud Tuggley?

I have flames on my car. I HAVE FLAMES ON MY CAR!

That's just too cool.

Clemency if I don't have ground effects?

I just put in a Clarion VX-405 and the glare is awful. I'm looking for something to put on the screen to reduce the glare during the day.

Every place I find these online has an $80 core charge. For a reflector? Wow.

Finally got some wheels for the TC. 17x7.5 Ford Fusion with Bridgestone Potenza 215/50 tires. Too soon to tell if there is any handling difference but it sure looks better.

So far, so good. I've got just under 5k miles on it now. Did one 1700 mile round trip from Baltimore to Birmingham for a race with one bike and all my gear in the van with no issues. Lack of aftermarket support in the U.S. is a bit disappointing. Only thing I miss is a backup camera since i have no windows but that'll be taken care of when i get around to replacing the head unit. Picked up a camera to add to the Clarion VX405, Rockford amp and Kenwood sub. Now i just need some warmer weather to do the installation.. I like the stripes a lot but I agree that something is missing. I'll do wheels in the Spring and go from there.

The blind spot mirrors just need to be separately adjustable. I sometimes wonder about engineers and accountants. And what's with no fold down left armrest on the driver seat? I guess if that's all I have to bitch about, must be a pretty good van.

Very nice.

I've already looked and my pillars are empty, no wiring. Plenty of room for the tweeters there though. Running the wires should be pretty easy as long as the crossovers will fit where i'm planning on putting them. I'll post pictures when i do it.

I'm about to do the same thing with component speakers in the door and pillar. I have the base factory radio with no screen and it looks like there will be room to put the crossovers in the dash behind the fascia where the cd unit is on the upgraded factory systems. Where did you mount your crossovers?

Looks like you got the last one. They show as out of stock now.

I've always liked Ford performance cars, Shelbys, Mustangs, the GT, especially in white.So....it only seems right that I pay homage with my new '16 TC XL van. Here's step one, the GT stripes. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2061452/IMG_0277.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2061452/IMG_0279.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2061452/IMG_0278.JPG Next will be to paint or hydrodip the black side panels the same dark blue as the stripes and add a white GT2.5. Wheels after that. Just wish they made Torque Thrust Ds that fit
