Does 2.0L engine use cylinder deactivation like the 1.5?

Anyone know if the 2.0 uses cylinder deactivation like the 1.5? And if so, does one of the optional driving modes (like Sport) deactivate the deactivation?

I got stuck in snow

Today I went for a spin down a section of road that isnt maintained in the winter.
Its been melting like crazy so I knew there wouldnt be much snow however what remained was hard and easy to walk on without breaking through. The big test was crossing the grader berm at the start so I figured if it stopped me then I wouldnt push my luck. I climbed right over it no problem because it was so hard packed and continued for about a quarter mile still in normal mode.
When I got to the end where it…

Tire Rack tests SUV/CUV tires – comparison video

Contained in this test are two mild , “on road”, All Terrain tires, that get mentioned here fairly often, the BFG Trail terrain and the Falken WildPeak A/T Trail.

After watching this video, you may not want to put them in the same boat. And, if what you’re looking for is not an A/T Tire, there are new and old tires in this test

Another coolant thread

Ok so weird question. My 2022 Big Bend has 42k and now gone through 2 water pumps. Last one was put in a few weeks ago and I checked the coolant recently and noticed it was low AGAIN. Decided to fill it up to max in case they didn’t get all the air out and that caused the low coolant. As I am putting coolant into the expansion tank right before it gets to the max it starts pouring it the bottom of the tank. Looks like from the middle. There’s a cavity there. I have looked in the tank…

Fuel injector leak.. recall update

Ford has demolished a small forest to send me ( and everyone else ) paperwork regarding recalls for the fuel injector leak.
They all, including the drain tube, PCM updates etc used the code letter ” S ” in the recall number. To me, that means a safety issue that must be fixed by Ford.
Today I asked my dealer for a status.
Surprise !!!!
All the old recalls using the S have been discontinued ( or something ) and the new recall number is 22N18. Of course , the N means ” we…
