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.
"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.
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...
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.
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+" :)
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
