Disable Auto Start-Stop Permanently Ford F-150
Back in May I bought a brand new Ford F-150 Platinum. This truck is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. I replaced the worst one, a new Toyota Tacoma with constant transmission problems. The new F-150 design and features are so well thought out that there is no doubt in my mind why […]
