Update (5/7/2025): I took my truck in for the TSB provided in this post, and some other things as well. They did indeed bring my truck to the current update revisions! Thank you so much for everyone's help. I spoke to the technician and told him Ford said my truck was up to date. He said...

I've been driving F150's for 30 years. I bought a F150 Lightning XLT SR and loved it but I had to have a black Model S with the yoke and white interior. So, I traded my son's car in on it, lol. Loved the Model S and drove it for 9 months but I really need/like a truck. So I traded the MS in...

Yes sir, just went away on its on. Came home, parked by the garage to unload groceries, hit the start button and was at 100% again. Weird. Deleted PAAK. I never had an issue in my XLT, ever. Checked all the Recalls and SB's and I'm clear, at least for the HVB anyway.

Good point. If if happens again, I'll check that. One thing that did happen was I got a PAAK glitch and had to shut the truck off, open the door, open FP app, turn the truck back on. I thought maybe it was a valet mode or something. I may delete the PAAK key as it's unreliable anyway. See...

Just happened to me. Oh well, left Tesla for this.

I trade a Tesla Model S in on a new 2023 Platinum ER a couple of weeks ago. Great deal on it! How did you find some one to powder coat your wheels, Google?

I never trust the range estimator, at all. I use data and a calculator. A ball park calc from the data below yields 2 x 98 = 196 miles. The estimator on the Ford Pass App says 236 miles. I'm pretty sure that won't happen. The most optimistic calc would be 2.13 x 98.59 = 210 miles. The Ford...

We e-Filed Saturday and were rejected immediately with the "...no record of a vehicle purchase...". Called the dealer immediately and they input the report Monday (24th). E-filed tonight and the submission was accepted. The IRS.gov site still does not show that I purchased and EV yet so I...

Just did mine 2023 Platinum ER. Good to 3/7/2029.

Looks like you drive a lot around 70 mph. That would be about right. The computer calculates the range based on your driving consumption vs EPA when you first get the truck. I normally get about 2.0 mi/kwh. So for me 2.0 x 131 x 0.90 = 236 mi. From the screen shot, your average consumption...

Like this? Wife's car.

Didn’t work

Awesome!!!

I connect but the Platinum never prompts me to add the truck like the XLT does. It’s missing the update. I’ll wait or FDRS it.

I also have a 2023 Ford Lightning XLT that my son now drives. The Apple Maps EV routing and my phone works fine in his truck. I never get prompted to connect to vehicle in my truck, yet. Sounds like I can do the FDRS or just wait. I remember when that update came out on the XLT. This truck is...
