I thought about this after she left! I will definitely ask next mobile service! It's actually a great idea, I just didn't think about it quick enough.

I glanced at the tools she was using. It was a laptop and ODB 2 type dongle with a cord directly to a USB C port. I thought about probing a bit and asking what other 'cool' things that she could do with those, but I thought I would be better off not. Maybe if they send the same tech next visit I...

Had a really good experience with Ford Mobile Service today. The technican, Delilah, showed up on time to do a software update for the parking brake recall. She was fast, friendly and efficient. She had actually been scheduled for my F150 Lightning for today, but she noticed that my Mach E was...

Recently drove my daughter's car from Seattle to California, it's ICE, man I didn't even realize how much gas stations stink! Every time I stopped to fill up it reminds me of how many benefits BEV have. No stinky winky.

The wife and I had always had Toyota vehicles, loved then, and still do, but.... I am a traveling vehicle inspector in CA, and I often rack up 200 miles in a day, the wife travels 50 miles a day to work, and CA gas prices are ridiculous. We did the math, and we basically worked it out that we...

Same phone/software for me, works for me too.

Awesome! I actually have seen quite a few people buy one, then the other like we did because of how great their 1st vehicle experience is. I admit that there is more to set up and learn buying EVs, but once you get everything set, ownership is great, easy, and economical. Congrats on your 2...

There is a potential for software learning I would suspect, but I also suspect that at least part of it could be that you are not using brand new tires anymore. The stock tires a what many dealerships call 'softies', which are super grippy and soft for extra performance and quiet ride, which...

Best truck I have ever owned. I travel for a living, and have always had a truck, although different brands and the Lightning is way better for me. It's easy and comfortable to drive, little maintenance and surprisingly economical over the big picture. My wife loves it, and we both agree that we...

Hmmm, would one give birth to a golf cart, or maybe a ATV EV?

Nice color choice! I have the 24 Flash ER with the same paint. 23k miles after a year, still absolutely love the truck, confident that you will too.... Welcome!

Yes, criminals do know where it is, but the Ford pass app does the same, for free, and is built in. This means the aftermarket tracker is handled separately and includes 3rd parties. Yeah.... No thanks, it doesn't do enough things or anything revolutionary that you don't get free and non...

Here is what it is, definitely a tracker.... Not a budget one either, so it's likely they charged for it in some hidden line in your deal paperwork. If they didn't disclose it anywhere, you may want to take it out, and return to the dealership with it in hand and start asking questions, since...

Same reaction when I see everyone crying about gas prices on the news (and they should be). I live in Central California, home to top 3 gas prices in the USA, and a political mess of taxes. I also have family members that will scramble to find the lowest gas prices and drive a couple extra miles...

I just passed the 20k mark. I do not hear a single squeek or rattle in mine, but, I have a 2024, so maybe Ford fixed these little things before my model year. That being said, I also have had a fantastic experience with the truck. I travel medium distance for a living (thus the 20k in my 1st...
