Hey everyone,

Just bought a ruby red 2013 MKS Ecoboost on Friday.  Really wanted to get something AWD for the winter but still wanted something I could play with. The Lincoln was I think my best option being that its only 1 year old and I paid just about 1/2 of original sticker.  Really enjoying the quiet comfortable ride after driving my SRT8 daily for the last 6 years.  And the Lincoln Drive Control is a really nice feature, in sport mode the car feels great.

Looking forward to doing the typical performance mods over the next couple of weeks (Unleashed tune, CAI (maybe??), Tstat, plugs, 3-bar MAP).

Already started modding the exterior, been Plasti-dipping the chrome away little by little.  Car goes to the tint shop tomorrow.  Will post pics soon.

I love the MKS. I wish I'd taken a closer look at them when I was SHOpping.
Congrats on the purchase! Have fun.

Did you part ways with the Mopar?

Welcome to the community, bee615, and congrats on your '13 MKS.  That ruby red is an eye-catcher for sure!

Looking forward to your pics & mods :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No I still have the Bee, I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.  117k miles on the clock and it still looks like it has 17k.  Gonna park it in the garage next to the GN and take it out on nice days.

Welcome! I have an 87 GN myself. Sweet rides and a ton of fun! You'll love what a tune does for these guys. So much better than stock!
