Hopefully Rivian adds CarPlay before I need my next truck. Or Scout will still produce a pure BEV model. I still have both reserved. I do not tow or drive long distances with my truck and never will. An EREV is completely pointless for me and I do not want it. Over a decade of owning Ford...

ChatGPT 5 surprised me because it's usually wrong but I actually think this is the correct answer. Who knows, maybe some intern at Ford copied the actual technical document into ChatGPT to get a summary of it and now it's part of its training data :crackup: In 1-Pedal Drive mode, the Lightning...

I've had this happen too, same thing it was a big grey trailer in front of me. My guess is the truck was too tall for the radar in the bumpers to see it properly and being grey on a cloudy day also made it invisible. Now I turn it off if I'm behind a truck (or motorcycle, just in case)

OPD never applies the brakes, in fact it's the opposite. You have to manually step on the brake to get more stopping power if needed. When you let off the accelerator in OPD mode it uses the resistance of the motors to slow down the vehicle and recharge the batteries. My brakes still look new...

You are forgetting to include the build number. In the betas you can have multiple builds with the same version number, but only one public build with that version number. The current beta release is "5.22.0" but also includes a build number after it. Also Ford can use feature flags per user...

Isn't this the same problem? The tailgate release button is right next to the frunk button and would let them into the bed, although I think there might be a way to disable the power tailgate in the menu. Never tried.

I just bought a new car with Android Automotive. Sadly, it makes the system in our Lightnings feel 10 years dated. The biggest benefit I've seen (besides the built-in dashcam) is how snappy it is. Sync 4A feels like a sloth now.

This seems the most likely answer but now I'm wondering if it just didn't do this would we even need the power supply!?

You can do FDRS if you always want to be on the bleeding edge but obviously has costs and time implications. What I would do is tell the dealer that Carplay isn't working as expected and tell them to reference TSB 25-2048. This directs them to update a TON of modules and would get you the...

Need some pics of what this looks like when lit

You need to get closer to the middle of the vehicle near the console / cup holder area which is where most thieves will be poking around. I don't think you want it to be super-sensitive. On my last F-150 I had a moth living in my truck and it set off the motion sensor multiple times every...

your situation makes sense, but this feature is only audible to passengers inside the truck.

It definitely does scratch extremely easily. Mine will need to be repainted soon. That can be turned off. I don't know why anyone would want that on. It's a stupid feature. You should also notice quite a difference in the sound system, at least if you're playing from a high quality source.

Added this to my 23 Platinum that had the deletion at factory. This is a fantastic cheap and simple mod. I had this feature on my old F-150 and liked having it for the extra piece of mind. As a side note my dad's '23 gas F-150 which was built the same week as mine also had the delete. Before...

It's an update to the app. I don't think it's rolled out to everyone yet but has been available to EAP: Discover the new service screen, designed for better navigation and at-a-glance vehicle status.
