I'm not sure about companies that will do it, but I put in my own, off grid level 1 charging system that works great for my needs. Because I use my truck for "truck" things and not as an everyday driver, it sits in my shop most of the time. Because of that, I elected to buy the Pro model and...

Ok, thanks. I'm hesitant to get into Forescan and to be initiating software changes on a vehicle thats still under warranty. If this is a software improvement that can be implemented I would like Ford to do it! And, how dumb is it that it was set up this way on the first place! Please!

Exactly! That's what I'm saying! I don't know how this moved to "keeping" PPO running and a sufficient load to do so (my load is 4kW). My complaint is having all the accessories and screens running while using PPO. Is someone suggesting there's a mod or update that fixes this? Mine's a 23 pro model.

Yes, I actually charge my other EVs from my PPO 240V outlet in the bed....WHILE charging the truck from my offgrid solar array ...though at 120v level 1.....But I don't think that matters, I'm quite certain it would work at 240V charging as well.

This is not what I'm talking about......I have plenty of load as I'm charging my other EVs from my truck. I'm just frustrated at how difficult it is to get PPO running in the first place. Why does the truck have to be "running"? Why do the screens have to be powered up? When the truck is...

OK, yes, I hate that message popping up. How dumb is that? Of course if you're using power through PPO charging will take longer.....Duhhh! I certainly haven't tested it, but I certainly believe that, as in most any electronics, there is only a minute amount of power consumed just having outlets...

I am really tired of having to "start" my truck and leave it "running" all the time when using PPO....which could be for hours or even overnight. Everytime I have to start it, turn the headlights off, and shut down Android Auto (or the truck automatically steals my phone audio) and leave the...

Hmmm, I'm not sure what the problem is here. I mean, so what if the outlets are active? Why is this a problem? You don't have to use them after all. The outlets in your home have power supplied to them all the time. It would be quite inconvenient to have to go to your panel and close in a...

Indeed! I use 120v home charging exclusively on my Lightning Pro.....unless I'm on a long trip somewhere. In fact, because I only use my truck for "truck" things, it's parked in my shop most of the time, so I put in a 2,000 watt off grid solar system with a LiFe 5kW battery and a EG4 solar...

Indeed! I have been using this set up for about 2 years now through about 5 outages. Interestingly though the cord I got from PG&E fit the truck fine. No expense on my part, for whole house back up (ok, with some loads disconnected). Sweet!

I don't see how I can use it at all while in deep sleep mode....currently, the app does nothing. Deep sleep shuts down all communication.....in spite of batteries being fully charged.....dumb!

Oh, so if the seat belt is buckled it won't auto go into park when opening the door? Yes, I ALWAYS have my seat belt buckled....I grew up with seat belts since 1955 when my dad, who was a test pilot, put them in our car....long before they were required. But, on backing up slowly to fit in a...

Very cool....we'll done....well, except for the initial error. But I don't get how it even happened. Everytime I open the door when the truck is moving it goes into park. It's very frustrating when you're opening the door to see where you're going. Did you change something to keep it from...

But the truck wouldn't respond if it's in deep sleep....right? I can't do anything through the app at this point.
