  1. Spreadsheet of 2022 Lightning options - Updated 2/11/22 - useful for comparing costs/values of trims and options

    $90K is high voltage sticker shock. Lariat ER looks like the pick of the litter. I'm probably dumb enough to go with the Platinum, but I have to say "ouch."
  2. Towing Mirrors and 6 ½ foot bed … possible?

    Title says it all – the configuration doesn't show tow mirrors or 6 ½ foot bed. Perhaps someone here is in Ford and can see inside the system to know what's possible. The tow mirrors could be done from parts (I'm not keen to try, but surely 100% compatible with the 2022 F-150 ICE vehicles, if...
  3. ⏳ The Official Launch (4/26) Countdown is On - Join us to watch the launch of the F-150 Lightning

    Sooner than expected. Here's hoping for a high quality ramp up and no dealer mark ups. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2022/04/13/ford-teases-official-f-150-lightning-launch-date/7304293001/
  4. AMP Research BedStep Installation

    I think AMP needs to go to Munro and ask them to fix this so it's lighter, simpler, smaller, fewer parts and fits first time to any Ford/GM/Chrysler/Toyota/Nissan with zero grief … sell it on Amazon (or whatever) and fabricate the whole product in a USA factory.
  5. AMP Research BedStep Installation

    Yep. I used to work for IBM on a project that designed systems (for enterprise and corporate global installations) to make sure there was no risk of confusion … in this case, we would have designed overlays for each vehicle fitment to make it a "no brainer" to install. Of course, we were...
  6. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    Agreed on privacy. Unless Ford is going to call 911 every time I'm speeding on the freeway … that could get expensive. The question is whether the vehicle data impacts use of Bluecruise or even 'eligibility' for EAP. Tesla is using an idiotic "scoring" system to purported limit access to its...

    2.5.0 said "145 minutes" to apply … these are getting bigger …

    My truck applied 2.4.4 and it was set up to receive Bluecruise OTA last week … anticipation … "the waiting is the hardest part."
  9. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    well, I start the trip tomorrow. all set. well, a few last minute things to pack in the morning ... never leave anything to the 11th hour that can wait till the last minute … and no Bluecruise … ho hum … maybe it will show up while I'm … nowhere near wifi … I guess I'll connect the truck to the...

    2.4.3 update (yesterday … was hoping for Bluecruise … next time for sure! : ) 2/21 build date
  11. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    I hadn't seen that list. I'll take "Pet Mode" asap, please. Looks like Ford is not kidding about matching Tesla with the Mach-E. Hopefully the useful stuff (forget the games) lands on the F-150 Hybrid (presumably it's all destined for the Lightning.)

    Funny. I hadn't thought about the irony there. I guess we're "early adopters" of Ford OTA and field service support. : ) It's impressive that in the blink of an eye – by auto industry standards – Ford has gone from trivial OTA updates to something that changes the vehicle's most dangerous features.

    I'd suggest replying to your email from EAP and asking for an update on your position -- the more of us demonstrating interest in Bluecruise, the better. It's important for the product management and marketing teams to have numbers that show Bluecruise sells cars. Ford CEO, Jim Farley has said...

    I replied to an email from the EAP to ask about my placement and they confirmed.
  15. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    Curiosity is an insidious motivation … I went to check that wifi was connected (it wasn't) and noted: 1. check wifi and wait for it to refresh (or hit the button) … at first, it looks like it's connected with a "check mark" tick next to the wifi access point … when it refreshed, it was not...

    I responded to the survey – because I thought it was about Bluecruise. Added by PEARLYAC on 8/11/21 (so date or place in "line" doesn't seem to be the primary criterion.)

    Me too. Can't wait. (and I have a 2000 mile road trip starting March 4th … : )
  18. Snow Chains on the front wheels?

    I found an old set of 275/60-20 fitment diamond chains – very snug to fit, but they don't touch anything around the steering/suspension and the brake lines are safe. I have a small ramp to get the tire out of the snow to make it easier to install and snug the chain up around the contact patch ...
