Great info Craigval. Thanks. Now I have one less thing to worry about. Also, this adds to my overall appreciation of the engineering Ford put into this engine/transmission/chassis.

If you haven't already signed the purchase agreement, try for delivery with a full tank of gas. That's worth many bucks. If they balk, try reminding them that when you buy a car from a reputable...

That was definitely a consideration when we got our 2017 31UL. However, we liked the overall floor-plan so much that we picked it anyway. It's all about trade-offs.
