  1. Travel Trailer Tow Report: 2024 Lightning Platinum towing Escape 19

    Aha, thanks! I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing for our 3500lb TT. I'm just not sure if the WDH helps to provide sway control that I'm not realizing.
  2. Travel Trailer Tow Report: 2024 Lightning Platinum towing Escape 19

    Thank you for sharing! What is your tow hitch setup for that size trailer?
  3. Snow to Sand and back…. 4,759 miles

    Similarly, we just did Ontario down to Florida and back up, also uneventful like your trip! We counted EV trucks as well, and our counts were similar. I think the low Lightning count is because it's just harder to spot them on the road during the daytime since they blend in so well with all the...
  4. Cool down high battery temperature faster using Tow/Haul mode 🌡️

    FWIW, I have indeed found that Tow/Haul heats up the battery where it would have just sat at a cooler level in normal mode.
  5. Finding power behind coin holder?

    That coin slot is where the OEM trailer brake controller goes. There isn't a wiring harness back there with power for the controller?
  6. J1772 Plug and Socket EV Extension Cord

    I also have this cord, 40ft, in Canada, bought from Amazon. At 32 amps it's just slightly warm to the touch after a few hours. The cord is much thicker than the one on the Ford mobile charger (which gets warmer at 32A!). I'm pleased so far!
  7. 2023 battery updates discovered in service manual

    Is the service manual a good buy for folks who want to tinker and upgrade parts here and there? I've never seen what's inside one, but I assume it's an exploded view of every part of the vehicle to aid in maintenance and repairs?
  8. Is there a way to make all four windows roll down with your key fob?

    Oh fascinating! I only have the Remote Open option...!
  9. Is there a way to make all four windows roll down with your key fob?

    I can open the windows on my 24 Flash with a double press of the Fob's unlock button, but I can't find a way to close them again. Is it possible to enable closing too?
  10. New BlueCruise e-mail from Ford

    Why is it still $100/mo in Canada, where we have just a sliver of the BC coverage available in the US?? So disappointing..
  11. Install Homelink Garage Door Opener Somewhere on the Dash

    FWIW, if you have something integrated with Siri/Alexa/Google, you can hold the voice button on the steering wheel and ask the assistant to open your garage door. With that being said... In an old Jeep I put a nice metal arcade button into the A-pillar plastic, and behind I wired it to a simple...
  12. Am I charging to the maximum capacity of the battery and using the buffer?

    Just hopping in with an LOL at "gaslighting" in an EV forum ☺️ Suggestion: "gaslightning"! (You're both insightful and I appreciate your perspectives and experiences.)
  13. Trailer Tow mirror lights FORSCAN ?

    I'm just going by memory, but I think they come on if you turn your lights to Parking Lights while driving. I've done this when driving around an RV park at night, to not flash into people's units.
