The thing is that it is not just Ford. Every EV manufacturer is dealing with this. And I don't consider us early adopters. EVs have been been out for almost 20 years. And while I love my truck for daily driving, if I got to to northern New Hampshire, say north of Concord it's pretty freaking...
Ugh. Tried a trip yesterday. Charge got low, so I pulled into a Ford dealer to try and charge the truck.
What a useless damned system the FordCharge set up was.
Drove by many banks of Tesla chargers though......of course the charger that was due in May now says "ship by July."
I am so...
Ford has had pathetic information regarding many aspects of things.
As for "free", I am reminded of the old adage that "nothing is so expensive as that which is free."
So here we are at the 21st of June. My page as of about 5 minutes ago says that it's supposed to ship in June.
Here's me holding my breath.
The brain trust at Ford/Tesla shouldn't have said a damned thing about the adapters until they had them made in sufficient amounts. My order number is...
Ditch it. It looks cheesy AF.
Now, since she's white a nice lightning blue pinstripe down the side that incorporates a bolt of lightning would look primo if done right.
Hey Doug. Just a word of advice having found out the hard way.......the chipmunks and squirrels and assorted varmints LOVE those electrical cords. Not sure if I'd let it just rest on the ground like that.
Had a chipmunk stuck in my garage a month after I bought the truck and the little...
One reason why I love an F-150. That big hunk of steel across the back. Saves a bit of work. The F-150 is one of the safest vehicles out there, and does the best out of all the full-sized pick ups.
I also have a dash cam hard wired into the front mirror with a rear-facing head as well. Too...
I don't think so. I have a longer driveway and it starts an angle as soon as I pull out of the garage. Makes for interesting snow clearing. Though the tires are bigger so the geometry of the truck has likely changed a bit too.
Thank you. I agree. I was getting nervous about whether I would like the package, but I think they look pretty good.
Standard tire size, P27560R20....I will say that I had to take off the front mudflaps due to rubbing, and when I put them side by side next to the Hakkas on the OEM rims, they...
Well, I finally got them on (Nokian Outpost nAT tires size 275/60R20). Bought the tires in December and mounted them to the wheels, just had to wait for the winter to pass to put them on (I run Nokian Hakkas for snow tires).
So far, no real hit on range after several little trips and a few to...
I hope you like it. It's overpriced but I appreciate it more and more. Just adds a nice subtle look.
Might I suggest these as well:

It makes the grille a bit less of a solid gray wall.
I have to say that I still look at the truck and this is one of the best and most subtle mods I've done. That huge hole in the bumper just looks so much better with this mesh on it.
Just got my Nokian Outpost nATs mounted on the the new Roush wheels.
Now I just have to wait 4 months to put them on when the Hakkas come off after the winter.
Hopefully I won't take too much of a hit on mileage.......but the Outposts are quite a blocky aggressive tread. Supposed to be...
