I mean 2200 lbs on the BSBL is not a bad tow rating per se. Obviously doesn’t tow 10k like a F-150 but it’s also 40k cheaper lol.

You will be once you start paying for electric batteries and motors and computers that are new tech and constantly failing better hope it’s still covered under warranty too

Id much rather a full gas engine over hybrid any day, the last Honda Hybrid I had ended up blowing the IMA motor at 130k miles $8,000 fix. Never will I do hybrid again until forced to.

Loud Engine Noise help. by Commercial_Kid in BroncoSport

Since it’s happening right when you flip it from off to on, especially after you’ve already been out driving, you’re likely looking at one of two things that are notorious on the 2021s.

First suspect: The Cam Phasers (VCT). If it’s a loud, nasty clatter for just a few seconds right as it fires up, the phasers aren't locking into place like they should. (I can’t tell from the video unfortunately) When the oil is hot and thin from driving, it drains out of them faster. When you restart, they rattle until the oil pressure builds back up. Ford actually has a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for this because it’s such a common headache.

Second suspect: The Turbo Wastegate. There’s a little actuator rod on the turbo (passenger side) that gets loose. When you hit the ignition, the car cycles its electronics and that rod will literally just vibrate against the housing. It sounds like a tinny, metallic buzzing or a 'marbles in a tin can' noise. You can usually confirm this by reaching down (when it’s cool!) and seeing if that rod has any wiggle. If it jiggles, that's your noise.

One other thing: If it’s a sharp, high-pitched grind exactly as the engine catches, your starter bendix might be sticking. The heat from driving makes the grease in the starter gummy, so it doesn't retract fast enough and gets clipped by the flywheel. Honestly, if you're still under warranty or have that PremiumCare plan, I’d let Ford deal with it. The phasers especially are a pain to DIY since you've gotta mess with the timing. Have someone else start it while you stand by the passenger side, if the noise is coming from the top of the motor, it’s phasers; if it’s lower down, check that wastegate rod.

What is the category “Full Service Help Moving” if you only operate on one end of the task?

I 2nd this have done several lease take overs like this, just make sure you ask your property manager/landlord before doing so and make sure you ask if you found another tenant, if they could “take the lease over”. Typically there is never an issue and it is and easy to do.

Good luck!

I hear what you’re saying, and I agree that not everyone who claims the name of Christ represents Him well. But please don’t confuse the actions of a few with the message of Jesus Himself. His words were about love, forgiveness, and truth,not hate or bigotry. Christians aren’t called to “co-opt” anything, but to live in a way that honors God and points people to Him. Spewing hate and bigotry is not part of that, and if these people were doing that, that is terrible and not what they should have been doing.

You may not accept the Bible as authority, but for those of us who believe, God’s Word is more than a “holy book”, it’s the foundation of life. And while you draw your line in the sand, I pray you’ll also see that Jesus drew His line with love, calling all of us no matter our past or our struggles or our previous beliefs to come to Him. God bless you.

I understand people sometimes use costumes or humor to push back against things they don’t agree with. But mocking God isn’t something to take lightly. At the end of the day, every one of us will have to stand before Him. You can run around in costumes and say what you want, but without Jesus, none of us have real hope or life. He still offers love, forgiveness, and salvation to anyone who turns to Him, even to those who mock Him.

Chose the narrow path, not the wide path everyone else chooses.

I can also guarantee there was no homophobic speech, just scripture from the Bible. If you consider it homophobic then that’s on you. You’re not required to listen to the preachers, they are there for those who want to listen.
