I should not need a 3rd party app to get the software right, but I understand it is the sad part of reality. I don't have Forescan but will likely get it when I hit 36,000,despite the extended warantee I bought (I figured a lot of little things will continue to go wrong.) Thanks for the camera...

I am a Sadist. I can now torture my passengers by singing Karaoke!!! Yay! BUT... where's the beef? These "BIG" updates don't fix things like No Blue Cruise when towing, "Full View Not Available" in rear camera view, and other poor vehicle menu choices, some of which don't work. i.e. it is...

Actually the Ford Charger Pro is an 80 Amp charger if you set the little dials correctly. You need a 100 Amp circuit and it will charge at almost the rated 19 Kwh... - usually 16-17 in reality, but still gives me a 80-90% charge from 30% in 6-7 hrs. Installation requires the last 25 feet or...

Great minds work alike... I've been fantasizing of a Free-piston linear generator (FPLG) I can just roll to the front of the bed and strap down. Plop a 6 gallon diesel can or LPG tank next to it and plug into the smart outlet.

I want a removable range extender. I want to run as an EV around home with good range like the current lightning ER, but roll the range extender into the bed when suffering from Range Anxiety. Basically I want a small engine that I can roll into the truck bed and plug into a smart charger...

If you use Adaptive Cruise control (Far left steering wheel button) you can set whether you automatically go to the speed limit, with options for 5, 10, 15, 20 mph over (or below) the speed limit. Sadly the setting is within the vehicle settings on the big screen which takes several menu steps...

Yes!!! Sadly, I was just passing through from a visit to Assateague Island and can't visit often - it's a hike from Frederick. We do have "Jimmy Cone" but the signage is not as much fun.

I thought I was doing well with my OEM tires but at 24,000 miles I am starting to notice wear, in particular towards the outside of the tire and I am getting close to the wear bars. I try to run at 38-40 PSI with the empty truck, a little above the recommended 36 PSI so I was expecting the...

The name I gave to my F150 Lighting Lariat.

I don't plan to buy another truck soon - unless I can get a Silverado EV with a midgate real cheap - like at a government auction. But that truck would have my attention. Seems the management sets a path and ignores what is going on. With $4 gas I would expect buyers to be switching to EVs -...

Seems like they should simply include that as part of the vehicle. Charging $95 for a fix to a poor design insults the customer. And do they have a fix for the tail gate freezing closed? Mine won't open despite hard tugging at the clamp holes but I get a tailgate ajar warning. BTW, if you tug...

OH NO!!!! You are saying I should have had a 110 volt outlet installed next to my 80 Amp 230 volt Ford Pro charger so I can plug in a 12 volt trickle charger? I expected Ford was smart enough to charge the 12 Volt battery from the truck battery while it is plugged in even if the main truck...

I have a Lear Quad fold cover. I went with that because when it is folded up all the way forward the bed camera can still see over it. Easy to fold up or down. My only complaint is the support rods that hold it fully open have a tiny plastic lever that opens the heavy duty clamp wire on the...

I thought the larger wheel / smaller sidewall give better mpg kw/hr than smaller rim larger tire combinations. As YouTube talking heads said, the angular momentum of larger and heavier tires reduces mpg, especially on highways. I suspect the additional flexing of the large sidewall also makes...

Do you have your fob? When I used my phone as a key without the fob I got limited to 80 mph on the highway. I don't drive it hard so I don't know if it limited my acceleration. I finally found a setting in the big menu that let me turn off child proofing the car and that fixed the 80 mph...
