  1. I use one of these...very comfortable and easily stored.
  2. Pads pictured are rears correct? My rear pads down to metal (inside pad) at 30 k. Installed some budget Napa pads on a weekend my mechanic was not available to get me by but gotta say they are quiet and holding up well.
  3. 2016 TC XLT 40k miles...Front brake inspection wheel cover off only i can see outside pads only...pads at the thickest section (pads have edge chamfers) are at 5/16 inch. Hoping inside pads are the same...I'd pull wheels for a full brake inspection but thanksgiving maketh one lazy Observations and comments appreciated.
  4. Before turning off your ignition..open a door ..other door openings should not activate lights. This works for us(2016 TC XLT ) as we unload groceries etc. The double pull of turn signal lever will also work when keys out of the ignition.

    I would make sure plug is in place to minimize any exhaust intrusion.
  6. Good crew here..welcome to the TC gang.
  7. Good post VanWerk..i'm curious where the drain hole is. I have a 2016 TC w/38k...engine dry,clean..looks new.
  8. Says 1/2 inch spout..will this fit in the fill access without issue?
  9. Sofa recliner with small center section..will it fit in a 2016 XLT lwb cargo? Anyone hauled one before...

    Welcome..great group here!
  11. My 16 TCXLT fr wipers move easily by hand (very little resistance )vehicle off, while i was clearing ice. Days of old the wiper transmission would offer to much resistance. After clearing ice i repositioned to there park position,start van and all is well..any harm in this ?
  12. hmmm..any progress yet? I have a 16 TC as well all works as advertised.
  13. Moving to Central Fla. at the end of this month(oct) and we are having a friend tow our 24ft enclosed trailer to the Villages from Maine.We will be driving down in our TC XLT later. We have home owners State Farm which will cover the trailer and contents for fire and theft while en route. We also have insurance for the trailer. There seems to be a gap in coverage for ex: trailer gets hit by an uninsured vehicle,rolls over and destroys the contents..State Farm says this is not covered and offers no solution.Online research is vague at best. If anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated.
  14. "I'm still on the original brakes" ....dang..had to do the rears on mine at 32k
  15. This link excellent tips on diy oil and filter changes: In addition to those above: Prefill your oil filter prior to install . Filter is a vertical install and screws in easily even when full. pre-grease the 6 x T27 torx screw threads prior to skid pan install to minimize corrosion seize...i used some Marine propeller grease i had handy. Cheers
  16. Pressure test should reveal a lot..keep us posted.
  17. Some disappointed customers on the Yokohama website.. https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/tornante
  18. Actually saving money not the issue. Concerned more with the ride quality..stiffer sidewall for higher load rating..GBL stated ride quality difference negligible ...old school thinking sometimes muddies the waters.
  19. Excellent advice as always. Tire Warehouse recommended the Yokohama Tornante over the Pirellis...anyone run these?
