Wow... I thought it was just Canada... If full major routes are not even available in a major hub such as Boston, what the heck is Ford thinking? If this was their first or second year, I would give them some slack as they build up mapping but here we are 5 years later... Sounds like the...

The problem with BC is that it requires mapped roads. In most of Canada, it's basically useless (just do a google search for blue cruise maps) They don't even have the major east/west trans Canada highway mapped and I haven't seen any effort to add more roads. Since I have owned the truck...

I am in Canada with bad winters. I had a 2010 Harley Davidson F150 with motorized running boards. Worked great for about 5 years. Then the motors stopped working. Probably had to do with winter road salt constantly hitting those little motors situated right behind the front wheels. They...

My 23 also lost Massage seats and scales (due to chip shortage) but my 23 does still have park assist. The sound system is exceptional. My sales guy let me put a 23 lariat side by side with my platinum to compare everything before I bought and the sound system was night and day. You couldn't...

I wish I had your optimism... I agree, if you were a smart company, using this group as a test bed for future models would be exactly how you would handle things. The 100k+ that bought this truck are what I consider the ideal customers for this. Ones that embrace change, have vision and take...

Although I do my fair share of complaining here... The app is not one of the things I have a problem with. Other than maybe Tesla, I'm curious to know which companies Apps are better? I recently purchased a new BEV car and went shopping at so many brands including Toyota, Subaru, etc.. I...

OMG! THANK YOU BRIAN!!!! or whomever pushed to get this through. I have no fingertips left for the amount of times I've complained about the lack of this update. I for sure thought us Lightning owners were abandoned so I must eat some crow now. Unfortunately, it came a week too late as I...

It comes out pretty easy. I had to take it out when doing my Putco Logo swap. There are plenty of videos showing how to install that. Just do a search here or on YouTube. That video will show you how to take out the grill... Obviously, you can just ignore the other steps dealing with the logo.

I know this is intended to instil fear of Chinese cars for the sake of American Auto but your claim is misleading. If I am buying an 80k car that depreciates 25% to 60k over a year, it means I lost 20k. Now if I buy a similar car for 30k but it depreciates by 50% to 15k over a year, which...

Yup... that's my conclusion too. Haven't even seen Brian around anymore either. At Ford promises don't mean anything. This Lightning will be my last Ford. An excellent product that would normally retain my loyalty ruined over software updates. I just bought a new car for my wife this...

I complained about this too... But more so for shutting off heat in freezing Canadian winters.... Defeats the purpose of remote start when loading groceries in the frunk. Was told what others mentioned.. Programmed with legacy ICE reasoning and should be changed. Luckily we have OTA updates...

That's the problem with all of Ford pay services... There is huge potential for them to differentiate and provide features that people want and are willing to pay for but we just wait and hope. They play the perfect game where they say "we have huge things we are working on in software"...

That's good to know...Thanks for communicating that (You know, like what Ford should be actually doing).... I also ran across this a while back. Phone as a key didn't work, no problem... I'll just put in my code.... and then shear panic when the code did not work. Thankfully about a few...

Soon™

I've owned/own some high end vehicles and the lightnings cameras have got to be right up there, probably the best I have encountered in a vehicle. Even the shutter speed adjustment as it reacts to different lighting conditions is fast and produces a good image from bright to dark. Not sure...
