Harro! Looking for a good place to call home and to learn about our new whip! My wife has been wanting one for a couple of years now and finding a clean unit is tough to come by. But low and behold we found one last night and picked it up today from a single owner that has been well maintenanced. We looked at 3 over the last couple of years and they were always poorly maintainted and heavily smoked in. No pics yet, ill grab some tomorrow. This whip now completes our V8 trifecta fleet, as we also have a Raptor with the 6.2L and the ISF which also sports a 5.0L.

Specs:
2009 Onyx Blue
AWD Non-S Model
160k KM
Black interior
Tech and Nav packages (ill confirm with the window sticker later)
Recent driveline fluids flushed/changed
ALL STOCK
Single Owner
2 KEYS!
Non smoker

Issues:
Due for spark plug change
Due for a Rad flush
Although well maintained it looks like a lot of components are pretty rusty underneath, will have to look into swapping a few parts and doing some rust maintenance.
Tilt steering is broken, sounds like it was a common malfunction for the FX. I cant seem to find any info on a fix. I found the part number for the motors but I dont think that is going to fix our issue, as it seems like the gear is broken. I called the dealer and they didnt know either because all of their parts blowouts dont show these parts of the steering column. So if anyone can chime in on this that would be great. Tilt is toast, telescopic works fine.

Anyways thats it for now, hopefully I can learn a few things and contribute!
