  1. Stay in SPORT when truck turned off

    Slightly OT: Why does changing modes interrupt any Carplay/android music that might be playing? But yeah, FORD seems to be overridden with lawyers or fear of regulation - This is an iconic vehicle - it is THE quintessential poster child for American Freedom - it is an F150 after all - and...
  2. Smoked side windows. Not tinted with a film?

    Did you get the $115 on top of some other infraction, or did you get pulled over because five-oh saw your dark windows and thought "That guy's breakin' the law" - because if it's the latter, then you're gonna still get pulled over if you figure out a way to tint your glass without film. Cop's...
  3. Driver Alert Hates Me

    Yeah, let's not talk about the CT. There's a learning curve to each brand of driver assist and as the OP pointed out, even differences with the same brand sometimes. The learning curve for me on the Lightning is still going on( 2 yrs now) where the Tesla I pretty much had figured out in a few...
  4. Driver Alert Hates Me

    Thankfully no! I do see value of driver assist features like blue cruise, supercruise, FSD, Etc... On the Ford, with BlueCruise enabled, it shifts one mental workload for another and they are not equal - meaning, on a long trip, it takes some of the driving workload away from me, but that is...
  5. Driver Alert Hates Me

    It's more stressful to drive with nanny mode on. When my free BluesClues trial expires in a few months, Ford expects me to start paying them so I can be scolded. Something doesent sit right about that. Like road rage, but at my own car lol. Having driven Teslas autopilot, I have to say thier...
  6. Rock Lights installed

    Did you mean "squat"?
  7. ECG-24.2.5.6.2 Technical Adj of Send/Rcv Software [24.2.5.6.2.2]

    Mine has said not completed for a week at least. Wish I knew how to unstick it.
  8. $200 48amp Amazon charger

    FWIW, I'm OK with OP using this thing - just check up on the plug FREQUENTLY. I've had a LEGIT brand (GE) charger melt the outlet. Someone noted "cheap Home Depot" outlet - yeah, best to get something better than consumer grade 14-50R, but even then, check those contacts - unplug ang plug it...
  9. Fordpass app shows wrong location

    Thanks! I will check this - just got it back from service and I noticed a ton of other settings were not as I left them prior to module SW updates.
  10. Fordpass app shows wrong location

    When I use my fordpass app to show my trucks location, it always shows parked it my home driveway. Other features of the app work, but the location is wrong. Maybe I am expecting it to show the trucks location and not it's home location.
  11. Its fall in the NE and the squirrels are out!

    On my daily commute, I drive on a 1 mile section of road that runs beneath a beautiful canopy of old oak trees, home to squadrons of trained squirrel accorn wielding bombadeers. The acorns they drop from 20 ft are not hard enough to crack the windshield but do manage to dent the aluminum frunk...
  12. Cat paw trapped in the tailgate clamp pocket

    Few options.. 1. Piece of heavy duty black duct tape.. Not ideal, I know. 2. A thin small black coarse head screw, maybe a drywall screw or thinner - hand screw it in the corner opposite the hinge. It'll keep the flap shut without damage and when you need to use the pocket, just twist it out.
  13. Tesla chargers not showing up in Ford Nav or Charge assist

    I noticed after a recent software update that a lot of chargers I use regularly are not showing up, and a lot more Ford dealers. After drilling into menus on the NAV app, I saw that the default was set to "Ford network only". Unchecked that box and selected "roaming chargers" and now I see...
  14. Unknown Wire harness by OBDII

    I found one on my 22'. But it was not wired like that, looked more like a bt odb2 dongle, except it had an lte Sim inside.
  15. Bluecruise warning after 5 seconds?

    One additional thought, what happens if you are *actually* incapacitated/passed out during BC session? Does it go back to regular mode, or does it slow down and gently pull over and put the hazards on like Tesla?
  16. Bluecruise warning after 5 seconds?

    I agree with OP - 5 seconds is too short. BC does not account for peripheral vision, which is superior to detecting moving things - that tech is just not there yet.
  17. Bluecruise Update: Ford OTA team promises 1.3 for all Lightnings by end of the year

    So, 1.2 ,1.3,1.4 are all marketing speak and fuzzy subjective language. ( 1.4: I hope it delivers in-land stability and won't drive me into the ocean)
  18. Cost to fill up your Lightning?

    They are really the only 2 options where I road-trip, so OK, "Dualopoly" :) If I ever receive my Ford NACS adapter, then I can look at Tesla prices (just one Magic-dock in my route) . Either way, I know the F150 is not super efficient when it comes to MPG-E, but it still smarts when I can...
  19. Anyone getting Concerned that Ford is not in on EV for the long haul

    I think FORD did right by not pursuing the BEV Expedition. Could they have done it? Sure - look at the F150 Lightning - excellent job there - and they used it as a platform to collect valuable data for the T3. If they electrified the Expedition the same way they did the F150, it would be...
