  1. improved efficiency with hitch cargo carrier?

    Unfortunately (or fortunately) no long trips coming up but have a few shorter (1-2 hour) planned. I may have to test again as you suggested. But I can't be the only one with a cargo tray? 25% increase in efficiency may be worth the annoying beeping when reversing.
  2. improved efficiency with hitch cargo carrier?

    I have owned this truck for over 3 years and have done plenty of long-distance drives. Typical efficiency is between 1.8-2.1 mi per kwh. I just returned from a 12 hour round trip drive where I needed extra storage and decided to attach this cargo carrier with storage bag. On the 6 hour drive...
  3. Proximity sensor alert when nothing nearby

    HI. I have been experiencing an issue where at slow speeds, the proximity sensor on the drivers side of the vehicle alerts, but I am not near anything. Also yesterday I noticed the blind spot alert on the driver side mirror illuminated when nothing was there. I am going to have the dealer...
  4. PU-DDM-24.11.5 & 25.12.0 Smoother Window Closing

    I received the window update yesterday afternoon and had the reduced power issue immediately afterwards. Parked it for about 90 minutes and everything seemed fine. Received BC 1.4 update last week and didn't have any issues with loss of power with that or any previous update..

    thanks. guess i was just missing the satisfaction of the "Checking for updates" message.
  6. Bluecruise 1.4 officially being sent out to F150 & Lightnings starting today (12/11/24)!

    when I check the software updates screen, it still informs me of 10.1.1. which came NOV 16th. Is there a way to "acknowledge" that update so it can check for newer updates (preferably BC 1.4)?

  8. Leaves in the radiator? Why is it designed like this?

    This is the company I went with. In fact, that is my Avalanche Lariat in the pictures. Very happy with the product.
  9. Tesla NACS Adapter Recall / Replacement Notice (10/24/24)

    Anyone else receive the following email this morning? As a part of ongoing testing, your adapter has been identified by Ford to have a potential issue that may result in reduced charging speeds over time, and in some cases, charge port damage. As such, Ford does not recommend using the adapter...
  10. A/C Smell

    23 Lariat with 23K miles. I noticed the smell just over the past few weeks. Tried some of the suggestions here (turning AC off before getting home) but that doesn't seem to help. I noticed that the smell is primarily right after startup and will go away pretty quick if I turn the AC on...

  12. Adding grill mesh ahead of active shutters in bumper?

    I worked with Matt at customcargrills.com. I’ve been driving around with it for a few weeks now and no issues at all. I also like the fact that it’s metal instead of plastic, but you can go that route as well. The rubber trim around the ends also helps prevent scratching when you’re...
