@dfelt-Turns out there are swap out upgrades but they are $1500-$2000 which is a deal killer for me. Sucks because I would swap it out myself. https://www.infotainment.com/products/2013-2015-ford-flex-myford-touch-sync-2-to-sync-3-with-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-upgrade

The wiring plugs for the Sync 2 systems and the Sync 3 are most likely not the same because of altered controls but I do plan on looking into it. Not 100% sure about it but history would suggest that there may be a compatibility issue.

Yeah, Sync 3 would have been nice for me by just having CarPlay but it wasn’t a deal breaker so here I am lol. The two tone color schemes do look best on them too.

Thanks @ccap41 While waiting on my lift gate actuator, I spot this at Bell Ford...

I should clarify that second sentence. I have NEVER been ashamed to admit that I have a thing for wagons.

That’s my line of thinking on it. I have been ashamed to admit that I have a thing for wagons. 8 years in a Magnum and now this pretty much confirm it lol. Really, the main draw is the 82 cubic feet of space with all the seats down. Now sure there is another CUV or SUV that can touch that without going up to a Tahoe or Expedition. The box shape absolutely helps here and confirms why I think bean shape CUVs and CUV coupes are a waste of space. Hell, I just like the old school beach cruiser look of it more than anything else. I get that Ford wanted the Explorer back in the fold and that’s one of the reasons why the Flex was left to die but they should have pushed both, in an ideal world of course.

It’s getting ready to go on a cross country drive back to NC so I’ll update it’s “performance” once I get situated there. So far, I love how it drives. It really is the hidden gem in a sea of mundane CUVs.

These tires seem pretty decent (will have to look at the brand again when I have daylight because I don’t recall them right now) but at that seize, they are pricy as hell and mine are about to see a lot fo miles. I’ll look those up though just to compare them out. Thanks. Edit: They are Nitto Brand tires.

2015 with 88K miles on it. It’s the SEL FWD (AWD models are tough to find unless its a EcoBoost) and is loaded. Did get an extra 3 year 50K Mile warranty on it for a little piece of mind. The only issue is the rear lift gate Actuator (the large single arm beneath the rear lift struts. I noticed it was bad (liftgate would open a few inches and then back down indicating the problem) so I got an extra $300 off while the actual part is $120 and easy as pie to replace. Other than that, everything seems to work well. Have to say that I never thought I would love heated seats but my back was thanking me for it earlier. Will post some more pics when the weather isn’t so crappy. My only real concern is my chewing through those twenty inch tires lol.

More on this later.

Same as everyone else my entire life lol. And regardless of past comments, thank you for the birthday sentiment. “ThunderCougarFirebird” (ode to Futurama).

“I knew about it long ago”. Sure you did. And you are the one who brought up Greta in response to SMKs post (shooting down your “fifthly” point because you started it, end of story) so how about holding yourself responsible for your own BS for once. “Everyone knows she speaks from a script” No $h! Sherlock. I’d advise you look up and actually research Aspergers before sounding completely dumb on this one. Ad libbing is not a strong point for those with the condition. That “obsessed” bs is just that, BS. No one is forcing you to respond to me, no one. I responded to your post like any person here would do. You just don’t like the responses. My advice to you on that is “suck it up buttercup”. This is just more whining like you did back in August on the Random Thoughts thread. You are the one who is “obsessed” hence your rabid trolling in various threads about subjects you dislike yet cant stop talking about. How about being a hypocrite and whiny baby on your own time and stop polluting this place with the same nonsense you have posted for years when things don’t go your way.

Are you really so insecure that you had to dig through the internet and all you find is this? You should have went one link further there. Here is her “IMDB” which are all interviews and docuseries from 2019. Poor little Blu, threatened by a little sixteen year old girl. Somehow, it doesn’t really surprise me. “oooh, her parents were actors”. So F’ing what. Our president is a reality tv with five bankruptcies and three marriages full of adultery but it’s the little girl that gets your panties in a bunch. It’s laughably sad. Read the actual link to her “shows” and you will see why Blu is just trying to troll extra hard here.

Again, irrelevant and especially since those same climate scientists echo her sentiments about the climate and back it up with actual data. I do get what you’re saying though but I just don’t think her “qualifications” are all that important in this context. Just my opinion and this has gotten a little too far off the subject anyway.

Says the fool who trolls subjects he clearly has no interest in. Now go back in the corner before Greta spanks you. And who says I’m trying to win friends? Your continued assumptions about my intentions over the course of this year has been nothing short of laugh out loud dumb. Of course, that’s familiar territory for you so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that you are so bitter.

So I’m guessing you’re requesting a box of Tic Tacs then? Seems like my signature was right on the nose where you are concerned even though it has nothing to do with you. And my dad would be plenty proud of me, may he rest peace you smug $h!. You would do well to leave this one alone. The plain and simple fact is that you jumped on this thread after bitching for it’s creation months ago on the Random Thoughts thread. Now one would normally see that as an opportunity to let said thread exist on its own since you have expressed no interest in the subject matter in the past, other than to talk $h! about it of course. We didn’t get that though. All everyone got on this thread from you was more trolling and snippy little remarks without merit and without facts. Take that as you will but the only ankle biting little bitch here is you.

So are you but we don’t hold it against you. Pretty sure regardless of ones stance on this, she doesn’t have to possess a degree in order to be passionate about her cause. It’s also kind of presumptuous that she doesn’t have some experience with this just because she’s 16.

Actually I have shown more evidence to support my statement than you have yours. Again, the little whiner comes to the thread he whined into creation because well, he’s a whiner. Just go sit in the corner and let folks talk about the subject at hand without your constant trolling.

This is about VW, not Mercedes lol.

A bit off the subject but while I have no opinion on her personally, I find it absolutely hilarious that a 16 year old with Aspergers has the president and his supporters in such a fit. Be careful Blu! Gretas gonna get ya’!!

Again, where is YOUR proof (pay special attention to the ‘YOUR” part)? At least MT can make claim to a certain level of viable information whereas you provide, well, nothing. See the difference yet? Oh and your “quote” doesn’t actually address anything related to the delay itself, just the model involved. You literally have shown nothing to the contrary here but hey, troll on hater, troll on. Again, no proof. And again, trolling on a page you bitched and moaned into existence. Oh the irony.

The K9 is a K900. The SK K7 is the Cadenza sold here.

Or A, B, C, E, G, S... ...Oh wait.

Saw this on Facebook. And yes, I’ll take it in black please.

And? It’s production (which had literally just started) was delayed as a result of the strike, same as building a one off concept for CES was delayed. What is your EV hating mind not getting here? Again, offer proof of your claim and maybe it doesn’t come off as the normal EV trolling nonsense you normally spew.
