  1. BlueCruise renewal.... free????

    My 23 expires in Oct 2028 with an additional free year from that point. Oct 2029! I can’t help but wonder what the EV options will look like in 3 years. Hopefully, I will still have this truck or maybe they will bring the BEV back 🤷‍♂️.
  2. How low (coolant level) can you go - found a leak!

    This same thing happened to me 4-5 months ago. I never really paid attention to my coolant levels, but one day it caught my eye and I couldn’t even see any coolant in there. I brought it to the dealer and they pressure tested it. There was no leak. They filled it up and told me to keep an eye on...
  3. Renew Ford Connected Navigation today? Why would I?

    I was just doing a little planning for an upcoming trip. Tried inputting the address in the Ford Nav (out of curiosity) and it would not find the address no matter what I tried. I ended up getting the coordinates from the OnX Offroad (free trial from Ford FTW) and was able to find the property...
  4. Inoperable Tailgate

    I can’t recall if I was in auto or manual mode when I did it. You’ve likely tried both. Back to the dealer I suppose 🤷‍♂️.
  5. Inoperable Tailgate

    I had a similar issue once. I ended up having to push the tailgate in hard while pushing the button. Worth a try, hopefully it works for you.
  6. Wiper Blade Recommendations?

    I believe they are, but I’m not totally sure as mine are not branded. The advisor specifically told me they were OEM though, and not some random generic brand they buy in bulk. In retrospect the Icon blades seemed a little stiff and were not lying completely flat on the windshield as a result...
  7. Wiper Blade Recommendations?

    The first set on my truck skipped a little. I had bought Bosch Icons because I heard they were the best. They never really worked very well as they skipped a bit and kept getting worse. When I went in to the dealer for the two recalls (software updates), I mentioned the skipping to the advisor...
  8. 2.6 M/Kwh not possible?

    Does anyone who lives in Florida get anything better than 2.2??? I think my average for the last 1600 miles or so is 2.1. I don’t do a ton of highway driving.
  9. Charging home battery backup system using F150 lightning

    After almost 3 months I finally got PTO from my energy utility to run my solar and battery backup system (EG4). I ran a test initially and it seems that the Flexboss inverter will supplement any power shortcoming on the truck side. You can also set the max power that the system will take from...
  10. Ford App and PAAK completely non-functional

    I disconnected my 12V not long ago. I don’t recall having to reconfigure anything. When Ford suggested I delete the app from my phone I had to redo PAAK and I lost departure times and target locations for a bit.
  11. Ford App v6.8.0 Android

    Looks like a new updated just dropped. Update includes being able to download bed cam alert video recordings?
  12. General Public reactions to our trucks? {⛔️NO POLITICS}

    My favorite interaction was with a very sweet elderly couple at Costco. They were in their car and slowly pulled up behind me as I was loading the frunk and just parked there. When I finished I turned around and they said “are we being pranked?? Are we on candid camera? We were looking for the...
  13. Ford App and PAAK completely non-functional

    My 12v is brand new. Warranty replaced it a few weeks ago. Voltage good. Ford suggested the issue may lie with some trucks getting updated while they were charging. I don’t think they are supposed to do that. It was certainly a first for me. Especially since I turned off automatic updates that...
  14. Ford App and PAAK completely non-functional

    I had similar issue recently where my battery percentage and status were not updating in the app. I couldn’t remote start or check anything else. Only thing that worked was lock and unlock. After doing a bunch of shut downs, restarts and deletes. I disconnected the 12V and that fixed those...
  15. App not updating?

    I’ve lost Blue Cruise now. I’ve had this thing for over a year with zero issues. Now I feel for those who seemed to deal with these app issues all the time. Someone at Ford told me this was happening with trucks where the last update was pushed through overnight even though the truck was plugged...
