Good day Mr Femi. I came across a Ford F-150 truck 2002 model, Nigerian used that i really don't mind buying. My current car is a 2000 Toyota 4runner which i have enjoyed. I wanted to buy a 2005 4runner. but i got the ford at slightly cheaper price. please how are the ford parts availability. can most mechanics understand ford? how reliable is it.. sorry for too much questions. really appreciate your perspective on issues.

Regards

F150 is a reliable truck, all parts are available especially 02. Gone are those days in which Mechanics were ignorance of Ford technology. F150 is rugged and highly durable.

I just bought a Nigerian Used Ford Explorer 2006 model. But this guy who brought the car Back goes straight to the car wash and they washed the engine now the car is barking as if the exhaust is leaking. What do I do? Secondly where can I fix a Ford jeep in Enugu?

Either the 4.0lits(v6) or 4.6lits (v8) it means water has penetrated the electrical connector of the primary circuit section of the ignition or water storage in spark plug' housing barrels. That's the reason for the symptom called misfiring
Get a competent Mechanic, explain these to him and instruct him to dehydrate or dry the water In the two sections I mentioned : electrical connector(s) of the ignition coil(s) or the spark plug ' housing barrels

Hi, I wish to know if this Mazda Tribute 2002-2010 and Ford Escape 2002-2010 are 4WD?

I'm really eyeing either of these two.

Get it right, when ever you say Mazda tribute, you are referring to Ford escape. Same in all aspects except body. They are of 2.0lit L4 or 3.0lit V6. They are all optional of 4WD and 2WD from 2002-2010.

Thank you Sir. I appreciate.

Welcome and enjoy your Explorer.

Pls, someone wants to sell Taurus ford to me. Though, I don't know much about the model but d body and engine is still very neat. Should I go for it? Wat are its major fault?

Please can we use Toyota Motor Oil 5w20 for a 2011 Ford Edge? The engine cap specifies a 5w20 and I suspect the Toyota Oil would work well for it

Absolutely, it would work excellently. I have several clients using 2014 Ford Edge and using the Toyota Motor Oil 5w20 for their vehicle servicing. Vehicles are running like new after using the Toyota Oil

Of course you can use it ...

Wrong Impression, I get upset whenever I hear the statement "Ford products are not good". Why should people be trying to condemn a product because they have no means or standard of rectifying its little anomalies. Even buildings/properties which are highly appreciated, you need repair one or two things as years pass by.
So those auto technicians condemning Ford am highly disappointed.

To cars owner that fall victims sorry, they have taken the wrong step visiting non-ford specialist. Most Mechanics would convince car owners that all vehicles are same "blatant lie" I was once a service engineer of RT-BRISCOE. I was groomed in Toyota before Ford. I can boldly say that all motor vehicles have same technologies of basic otto principles but their nomenclature and specifications are greatly differ.

Ford windstar is predecessor of freestar, freestar is the successor. Both are good, I can only advice to choose freestar, rate of depreciation will be lower since it's the successor. Fuel consumption/drivability/km are same. Maintenance costs are very low even lesser than Toyota sienna 2002.

You can go for it, provided it doesn't have engine or transmission problems. Taurus has no major fault apart from being a low vehicle because of Nigerian roads. All you need is routine service.

Perfectly, provided that it obeys the API standard "America petroleum Institute". But note, you can only try that on engine. Don't ever use substitutive fluids for transmission except recommended Motorcraft particularly 2011 upward.

Great. I already used it for the Ford Edge engine. Amazing performance. The engine seems more quiet and drives smoother than when i use other oils. The acceleration is even boosted. The Genuine Toyota Oil is excellent. I used the Toyota 5w20

5w20! Excellent, people should be conversant of lubrication system. It takes greater importance in Automobile.

Additional fittings to Ford vehicles should be professionally handled i.e HDI lamp, else the resistivity of the vehicle will be overload and cause damage to the manufacturer's electronic architecture

Good day Boss. Glad I came across your thread, finding it hard to make up my mind on which Ford edge to get. This will be my first car and am looking at any between year 2011 to 2014, am a fan of the design.

I have made alot of research, watch alot of YouTube videos. I see no major difference between them, just that the 2013 got the most positive review on Edmunds.com and cars.usnews.com rated the 2014 highest among the the four.

So I would really appreciate an expert advice on which year and trim to go for and also the second best. The power should also be taking into consideration. Thanks

Sometimes when first model year has bugs that is fixed in the second model year and sometimes upgrades make a difference.
Generally the newer the better and the higher the trim level the better/ pricier and more expensive things get.
Buy the trim you can afford but the SEL is the mid level

Nice on, Ford is my family. I give guarantee to go for any Ford edge at your disposal, you won't regret it. Durability, rigidity, Aero-dynamics, power-output, economy etc Bravo. It's my religious mind.

Ford Escape 2002-2012 (2.0 and 3.0)lits ignition coils should be cross examined during routine service to prevent PCM damage.

Good day Femtop...

Hello house!

I'm planning on buying a used Ford edge 2007...
I've always been a Toyota person, this is my first ford..
What and what should I check in the car before purchasing, I intend running a diagnosis scan, but is there any other thing I should be aware of?..
Also the fuel economy, is it as bad as they say?
Finally, where can I locate a good mechanical engineer in Akwa?

Yes, road test the vehicle while diagnosis is being run and be cognizant that the result doesn't involve any of the transmission fault codes of P07XX.
concerning fuel consumption , all Ford late built are highly fuel economizer.
Am not sure of Ford expert in Akwa , but there are in PH
