I just did this too. It's annoying that Ford gives a generic warning that some features may not work but does not say what those are.
I also requested a copy of my LexisNexis data here: Order Your Report Online - LexisNexis Risk Solutions Consumer Disclosure to see what they have on me...
Short article on testing done by AAA. I haven't seen too much on payload impact and I am not sure how this compares to the impact on an ICE truck.

Went and found the original AAA news release...
Yep, I saw that. I tried to be clear that my comment was based on Farley's wording - and his preference - but I guess I missed the tone. But I wasn't saying this is definitely the way it is going to happen. If Ford was definitely keeping both, he would not have repeatedly mentioned adapters for...
Thanks for sharing the video. Good interview and I think a key point is that he implies that Ford is not saying this is the standard:
Saying we are only in the second inning means he understands that the standard can easily go either way.
His wording also seems to imply a preference for...
This is great news. I see some folks saying that this means CCS is going away from future Ford vehicles, but I didn't see that specified in the press release - seems to be intentionally vague. I think having both makes the most sense for Ford. While the Tesla network is more reliable, the last...
It seemed like a pretty fair video actually. They even showed one station where the software failed and just had a Windows screen - he called customer support like anybody else to get it reset remotely. I would have liked to see some of the conversations with customers who hopefully gave him...
This is great info and better late than never.
While this is targeted at commercial customers, it seems like something that would have been useful prior to ordering especially for us EV newbies. It wouldn't have changed my mind, but more detailed estimates like the towing, speed, and weather...
Based on the metadata, it looks like the original file date is: 2022-12-26 10:39:36
I guess that makes sense with my blend date of 12/16
It also had and original file name of: 20221217_125748_[MY VIN].jpg
So I think I am assured that this really is my truck and not just some other Avalanche...
I've had to valet park a few times and I made sure to turn off One Pedal before giving it to the valet. I figure that it will drive more like a traditional car and not catch them off guard when it comes to a stop without braking.
I wondered if other folks do this as well or just leave it on and...
2013 Ford Focus. I miss the easy parking. Originally reserved with the intent of replacing my 2016 F-150 but the towing penalty was too much to give up so now I just have two trucks.
I'm happy to report I received my check for 5k today. Purchase date was January 14, received a call February 17 that it was ready for pick up. This was of course on top of the private offer at time of purchase.
I just completed my Ford sales survey and gave my dealer all 5's.
The GM included...
