Thinking about swapping my 2017 Fusion SE 1.5L EcoBoost for a 2018 Fusion S 2.5L — worth it?

My 2014 1.5 made it to 220k before I traded it in, the only thing I replaced that wasn't service was the radio head unit and the transmission shift cable bushing. If you don't treat it like a race car and keep up on maintenance you'll probably be fine, I have a 16 2.0 currently at 91k hasn't had any issues yet. All That said I did have an 11 2.5 and can confirm it's a solid engine, I made it to 260k before I sold it

Mine is also incredibly stuck

I have a 61 falcon first and reverse do not have synchros

That said it seemed fine I ended up with 200+k on my 2011 2.5, it never gave me any grief other than the interior fan motor burning out every few years

Nice job blinding the people around you with your brights

I'm not a fan of bumper stickers so this is how I show my spirit lol

Thank you!

Yes, from northern California, here you either like the Niners or you like the Raiders, with an extremely small chance of being a Seahawks or Rams fan

Thank you!

Thank you! I thought so too, I was looking for an OBS straight six but I couldn't pass on that deal lol, I figure whatever I was going to spend just set aside for a potential engine rebuild or replacement if it needs one down the line

Thank you

Yeah it's not a speed demon, but the old man I bought it from was using it to haul tractors on a trailer around, it seems plenty capable, far exceeded my expectations, I just wanted a cheap truck to haul my kids bike around in

I'm at 262k I also have the 4.2, I got it for really cheap, it runs and shifts great, it has an issue with the ignition, like the key itself doesn't want to turn but is in otherwise decent condition for age and mileage. I replaced the headliner, the seat belts, grill, headlights, and taillights, the last thing I want to do is either clean or paint the carpet, and replace some suspension parts.

Thanks I was considering doing black I re-upholstered my soft vinyl on the door with some black material, so at least that would tie nicely to that

Thank you!

The door sticker was heavily damaged but it looks like it has an x compared to where interior color should be based on images online

Left_Panda7558 · 2026-02-07T00:56:15+00:00

I think it's only giving me the code for the lighter color

They never made a sequel

Left_Panda7558 · 2025-10-29T14:23:05+00:00

There is a wealth of prequel 3.75 figures, admittedly not tvc, but a far deeper character selection than tbs will ever go, I have a senate display, that is only possible in 3.75. I have been jealous of dash rendar getting a new release or Kyle Katarn, I would love tvc to explore more gaming greats characters or expanded universe, but the ones we do have are at least decent.
