Can you activate PPO without having to keep the truck "running" the whole time?

Indeed! I agree 100%
Please Ford...make this work as it should!

Yup... I gave them the benefit of the doubt early on as they were supposed to be learning from all the EV start ups that prioritize software. But now it's been 4 years and Ford still can't fix simple bugs, heck, they still can't even roll out updates to everyone. Did I mention it's been 4 Years!. Ford's solution.. Cut the software department. They just don't get this new software age. This just zapped away all the decades of trust and generational loyalty I had with Ford Trucks. I don't care about their fancy tree branch assembly line cutting costs when they can't even provide or care to provide software updates that are already complete. Things need to dramatically change on the software side for us current EV owners to regain some trust or we won't be buying again no matter what the price is. I am not going to buy another car riddled with bugs and then have the feeling that I have been abandoned.

My feelings exactly. In a few years when I'm buying a new truck, if @Ford Motor Company leaves us '22/'23 owners in the dust, my next vehicle will not be a Ford.

Fix Pro Power Onboard so I don't have to run my truck all night
Give us walk away lock
Put zone lighting back in the app

I thought this was fixed for newer Lightnings but certainly not for my 2023. You are so right, it makes no sense to have the truck "on" for all the reasons you stated just to use PPO. I once left my truck "on" for 4 days after an extended power outage. @Ford Motor Company please fix this issue.

It would be nice to be able to activate the PPO from the FordPass app without "starting" the truck.

I am sharing all of this feedback with the team. Promise.

Awesome!
Does that include pro power turning off if it's a low or intermittent load?

PPO is turning off after about 10 minutes even if I put the slider on “power when off.” When turning off the truck I get a message that this feature (PPO?) can’t be used when truck is off. If I press the green on/off button in the bed, nothing happens. So confused.

Do you have a constant load on the power?
Try unlocking the truck then pressing the green button. There is a section in the manual that explains the green button and key fob.

The minimum load is not in the manual.

Yes, I have this feature on my 2024 Flash. I think it is keeping my freezer on when I park at the food store or Costco, etc. but I'm having a bit of trouble giving it a good trial. For example, today on the 15" screen I turned the slider on to keep Propower on when I turn off the truck. Then I remembered I wanted to turn on the walk away lock feature (I turn that off when I'm home) so I turned the truck back on to set that. Then I forgot to set the slider again. Seems like it would be a better system to have the power stay on at least in the cab until one turns it off again. I guess it's easy enough to start the vehicle again but so many times I've had to do this.
