  1. Fold those mirrors in at the auto wash folks. Some interesting things I’ve learned:

    Raptor mirror came in today. Fit right up and everything worked so I changed the cap and it’s looking good. The unpainted parts are a little more aged than what I took off, but I’m sure that will even out in time with the sun of the Sonoran desert.
  2. 2024 Lariat - Heat Not Working Well

    "Full accessory" for some reason does not include climate. Living in the land of hot this annoys my wife the most since it’s super awkward for her to try to actually start the truck from the passenger seat so it’s hard for her to get AC in the summer.
  3. Anyone have a HIS installed in the San Francisco bay area?

    The HIS is a home battery backup you can charge from the Lightning using the Charge Station Pro. It's a whole lot of proprietary components that in the end, don't seem to work that well. Even the people that report a working system still report a bunch of issues such as having to manually turn...
  4. Anyone using Ford charge plug cover ?

    Pretty sure the 3d printing crowd already has cheaper better solutions. That price is ridiculous.
  5. Is this power reduction normal?

    Our original competitor, the R1T has this feature. It results in about a 6% increase in efficiency/range. So MAYBE 20 miles in the ER Lightnings. That's nothing to sneeze at, but may not be worth the added complications of such a system.
  6. Is there a way to get the BED LIGHT to come on when you open the tailgate?

    There are so many differences between the 311 and 312 option group I wish they weren't both badged XLT. I imagine there's a lot different between the Lariat 510/511 option groups as well. I like to say that we have the "XLT+" :)
  7. Accidental cold soak -7

    Ford service is clearly not competent on dealing with their included EVSE. When I had an issue with the one that came with my MME they didn't even recognize the NEMA 14-50 plug, so they couldn't duplicate the overheating issue that only occurred on 220v. They just charged the car and said "works...
  8. Oxford White Pro ER Build

    I have had more close calls while driving a plain white SUV or pickup than even on my motorcycle. I swear something about white just fails to register for some people.
  9. Lease vs Purchase?

    If leases were in your best interest, you wouldn't be allowed to do it. We saw them get blocked in 2022, when they started meaning dealers would have a huge stock of used cars with a huge drop in values. I personally don't like the cost and rules that come with most leases, and have rarely...
  10. Is this new? Game Snack in Android Auto for 12" screens

    Games snacks is something on your phone, not in the infotainment. It’s just a google app with some games to play on any car with Android Auto.
  11. Fold those mirrors in at the auto wash folks. Some interesting things I’ve learned:

    the part with the arm that attaches to the door is back on the truck to keep water and weather out. The round thing is the power adjustment mechanism. The big black thing is the internal structure the smaller black thing with the wires running through it is the part that actually broke. Across...
  12. Fold those mirrors in at the auto wash folks. Some interesting things I’ve learned:

    Sorry my friend, it was my way of calling attention to how impossible it would be to notice if something like that happened. Poor humor on my part. No option for power folding on the XLT. I thought I described it but I didn’t give a lot of detail. Spinning brushes in the wash tunnel would...
  13. No Audio at times when using Apple Car Play

    CarPlay starts with a Bluetooth handshake, but then connects over WiFi. Bluetooth doesn’t support the bandwidth to display a video stream like that to the truck.
  14. Fold those mirrors in at the auto wash folks. Some interesting things I’ve learned:

    Obviously, fold the mirrors in at the auto wash. I’ve been through this tunnel at least 2 dozen times without issue. Sometimes it would fold my mirrors one way or another, but until now, they always just folded back. This time, there was a distinctly loud pop and my passenger side mirror was now...
  15. Rotary shifter possible

    @Vakatack What happens when you hit the L button? The MachE that would add a lot more regen when letting off the pedal.
  16. Battery issue at 100% only 298 miles

    Thought there was no such thing as a 2024 XLT ER. They stuck the full touchscreen in it and redubbed it the flash, right?
  17. Insurance

    Might not be Ford directly sharing with State Farm. My dealer has some deal with Carfax, so they keep reporting my info to Carfax. So my insurance company has 3 possible sources for that kind of info, Ford, my Dealer, and Carfax.
  18. How does one find less expensive charge stations on road trips?

    Which cities? I've done Round Trips between Phoenix and San Diego a few times, and PHX and LA once. I can help guide you from personal experience. If we're close I might be willing to loan you my NACS adapter to make it even easier for you.
  19. California 3 month old trade up pricing

    Are pros Fleet only? You certainly can't get a pro via the ford.com build and buy: You might be able to get one directly from a dealer that's not fleet, but I'm not going to call up a dealer just to find that out.
