  1. Empty coolant reservoir

    That is ridiculous. If there is one sensor that I care to have, it's the one that monitors the fluid that can destroy my truck if a rock hits a line or the rad or something. I didn't know checking the fluid level on this was something I needed to closely monitor. I get that the battery temp...
  2. Empty coolant reservoir

    Just a question to all you guys that experienced low battery coolant. Did you guys receive any warnings on the dash or the app? I mean, there are a million sensors in this truck, including windshield fluid. Please tell me they didn't cheap out by neglecting to put a low battery coolant sensor.
  3. Empty coolant reservoir

    woe!! Love your optimism but that's not good. It's not normal to lose that much coolant. Hopefully you don't have a hole in one of your lines somewhere. I would have it checked out if I were you asap. I know you said its working fine but it only takes once to fry your batteries and end up...
  4. 2025 Lightning Lariat Build

    I get that an EV is great choice. What I meant is, after most people have a bad experience, they stay away from that brand. Did you check out any of the other EV trucks? What made you choose the lighting again over any other option?
  5. 2025 Lightning Lariat Build

    Welcome Back... Considering you had a bad experience with your first one, may I ask why you chose to get a lightning again?
  6. Can you activate PPO without having to keep the truck "running" the whole time?

    Yup... I gave them the benefit of the doubt early on as they were supposed to be learning from all the EV start ups that prioritize software. But now it's been 4 years and Ford still can't fix simple bugs, heck, they still can't even roll out updates to everyone. Did I mention it's been 4...
  7. News: T3 full-size electric EV pickup being delayed until 2028

    Good! Hopefully this gives time and more priority to fixing the current Lightnings software. As it stands, I will no longer be buying a Ford anything until I see some dedication to software and the understanding that the days where your customers is out of mind after they leave the lot are...
  8. Normal day to day stuff. Question

    I wish it were that easy. The problem with most of the issues that people complain about over and over again is that they are not hard to find bugs. Something like having the modes stick is easily fixable but Ford chooses to ignore the countless requests and do something else with the very...
  9. Normal day to day stuff. Question

    I agree its way more dangerous for it to be switching modes then to leave it as is. I have been playing Fords annoying game and doing my best to keep it in sports mode by pressing ok before the two second pop up goes away. The odd time I forget, I get freaked out when the truck starts...
  10. momentary / on demand wiper activation?

    Yes it's intentional. tap to wipe has been on F-150's since I can remember. I haven't checked it on the lightnings documentation to see if it's in there, but I did learn it from the documentation of one of my older ICE f150's.
  11. Multiple WAL "walk away lock" alerts at home

    As others have said. My truck only locks the doors when I walk away and it notifies me only once even if I walk around the house or the garage. It does not unlock the doors unless I touch inside the door handle. Maybe there is a setting for unlock somewhere like the approach lighting and...
  12. No trailer connected but range still adjusted (as if trailer was connected) each time truck turns on.

    The towing software is an abomination. The truck has the ability to understand when a trailer is connected and disconnected, yet Fords decisions are all over the place. If you disconnect a trailer, you get a warning that the trailer has been disconnected... great. That should be it. You...
  13. Pro Power Onboard - Overnight

    Errrr. You need to turn off HVAC, turn off the radio, and the most time consuming, cover the screens so the vehicle does not look like its on. Even though the cooling loop fans are running bringing a criminals attention to look into the truck and see fabric covering the screens. That doesn't...
  14. Pro Power Onboard - Overnight

    For those that use propower infrequently, you may be right. For those of us that use it for work daily, not having to go through a checklist umpteen times a day would be nice. I connect and disconnect from job sites several times per day. turn everything off, turn everything on. repeat...
  15. Pro Power Onboard - Overnight

    I have a 23 that does not have the promised "pro power with truck off" update that I was promised by the dealer and a Ford engineer when they convinced me to buy my 2023 in 2024. So at this time I still need to keep the truck on. I do use pro power for work as well and sometimes our jobs are...
  16. Pro Power Onboard - Overnight

    90 watts!.... That's quite the load. (that's like 10 LED house bulbs). I know Fords Vehicle to Home system has been horrendous and expensive so I am abandoning ship on that idea. But I was going to get my electrician to set up a 30 amp generator plug that I can just plug in with propower for...
  17. BlueCruise 1.4 - What do you think?

    Lucky you, You happen to drive on one of the very few mapped locations in Canada. Don't believe me. Check out ford's bluecruise map (need to scroll down a bit to get to the map) https://www.ford.com/technology/bluecruise/ Look at the US and then look at Canada. On top of what I paid for...
  18. BlueCruise 1.4 - What do you think?

    Yes, I am aware that ACC can work on unmapped roads. The point is, why can't we use bluecruise on unmapped roads too then? What does "mapping" a road actually accomplish? Why would I pay for bluecruise when we have very few mapped roads and the ones we do have, don't "map" very well. As you...
  19. BlueCruise 1.4 - What do you think?

    That is exactly what I mean... Why do they not allow bluecruise to work everywhere like adaptive cruise? I don't understand why it needs to be pre-mapped if pre-mapping doesn't actually accomplish anything. I thought Ford was playing it safe by having someone drive the roads and then tweak...
  20. BlueCruise 1.4 - What do you think?

    Up here in Canada bluecruise is essentially useless. Other than a few freeways in SOME major cities, the mapped locations are non existent. (look at the blue cruise map if you don't believe me). Not even the Trans-Canada is mapped (major highway going across Canada). I happen to have one of...
