  1. 1760 mile trip - 0 EA charging

    Fords not perfect but has done a really good job since 22’ trying to build their ecosystem while relying on other networks. If you use the ford pass set up and have your credit card - it really is mostly plug and play . Most people sign up for Tesla when going on a long road trip because it’s...
  2. Well This Can’t Be Good. FORD FIRES 350 in Software Group

    or …maybe they realized they were paying 350 for not doing anything. What’s the worst that can happen from losing 350? Not get BC 1.4 that I still haven’t received ?
  3. Congress proposes shocking new fee on EVs

    I already pay $200’a year for an EV fee here in Georgia. If anyone thinks the south is cheap think again. Georgia is the second highest insurance rates in the country. The only saving grace is the south has so much business going (business friendly ) on that we put up with it. When I say...
  4. SLATE Truck Debuts as a Pickup convertible-to SUV. Priced Under $20K With Incentive

    Very similar to my first car 27 years ago a Nissan p/u 4 banger single cab/rwd. this truck would be great possibly for that or a service industry truck like a termite company that bust needs bed space and a regular cab for one technician.
  5. Rough Country 3" level on Toyo AT3 EV tires

    it very well might. An extra inch of play might be all you need. I would think anything above 2” you need specially fitted shocks for a 3” IMO. Also the casters Come into play. What psi and what rating are your AT3’s?
  6. Rough Country 3" level on Toyo AT3 EV tires

    3”seems pretty aggressive for a smaller tire. Id try a 2” level and see how that rides. I wouldn’t do a 3” unless you did 35’s
  7. Lariat vs Platinum honest opinion

    I bought my lariat at the end of 22’ at full MSRP and 6.5 interest rate. I traded it in for a heavily discounted 24’ for $15k less than what I bought my lariat for with 0% interest with several more bells and whistles. The only thing I miss is how much faster the 23 charged on the 80 amp and...
  8. FordPass 5.16.0 iOS & Android released.

    Not sure what sympathizing has to do with it. could be a small company /big company /rich/poor/ new or old. The fact FordPass works as well as it does for free while everyone else charges for something similar is great. they lose $5b a year supposedly on us EV gang so it would be easy for...
  9. FordPass 5.16.0 iOS & Android released.

    Ford has its issues but I’ll give a “pass” - no pun intended - every time for FordPass as long as it’s free. It’s probably one of the better apps and they dont charge for it. Try owning a GM or Ram product for a few weeks and I’m sure you will appreciate it more Ford-thank you for continuing...
  10. No EV loaner? What a shame.

    Most ford customers aren’t ev owners/and /or don’t have the charging infrastructure. But some of the good dealerships that do have loaners Is a blessing to get a good loaner. Sometimes it’s good to go back to ICE so you appreciate the lightning more. That is of course if your dealer is taking...
  11. Discount Tire - Likely losing a customer

    definitely see your point. I guess where I would push back a little is someone came in and already cut out a part of the companies profit (the used tires ) then is asking me if I can do better on a price…. Might irk me a bit and make me want to be short with someone. I’m not sure of your age ...
  12. Discount Tire - Likely losing a customer

    As someone who owns a company, while I try to be very polite and professional with customers such as yourself , $220 is perfectly fine and if that shop walks away with $25 profit off you I will be suprised. Techs are making $40 an hour plus benefits / machines/tech to balance and install are...
  13. Powder coating my Platinum wheels!

    thanks! I did a 2” level with 285/50/r22 Toyo at3. They are about 5 pounds lighter then the other tires In that size and ride well coming from a 23’ lariat with a 2” level and 34.5’ that were 5 pounds heavier I do see a little difference for the better in range.
  14. Powder coating my Platinum wheels!

    Great minds think alike
  15. 2024 Platinum replaced 2023 Lariat 1st impression

    Could be the fake door that came on 22/23’s but correct me if I’m wrong fleet can order them with dual chargers starting in 24? At least that is what the ford pro website option showed.
