  1. Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?

    The 3P has made a world of difference for me. I went from only being able to get to 60MPH in perfect conditions to being able to cruise @ 70MPH if I wanted or needed to. Now I have to use the cruise to keep the speed from absent mindedly creeping up. If you can pull it off, the 3P is an...
  2. Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?

    I went with a Pro Pride 3P hitch. Very expensive I know, but my particular trailer is bad about sway. It has rear storage, tends to be light on tongue weight and the axles are very close together (I think the axle distance makes it ride more like a single axle). And to be fair to the F150...
  3. Ford Maverick Pickup Officially Revealed w/ Standard Hybrid, 40 MPG, Under $20k MSRP

    I see no AWD option with the Hybrid power train as a negative. Someone doing light over landing would want the AWD and the Pro Power, which appears to be tied to the Hybrid.
  4. How long until service visits show up in Ford Pass?

    I had my first scheduled man appointment yesterday, but it still has not shown up in Ford Pass. I see that there is a way for me to manually add one, bu wouldn’t the dealer add the visit information?
  5. SYNC4 Navigation for RV travel

    I might play with that as well, at least by reviewing them during fuel stops. This entire trip is new territory for us - we have never been along almost all of the trips’s routes. My fear is primarily getting boxed in by a low height overpass or questionable bridge / road.
  6. OTA Update - anyone received one yet?

    FYI, as of yesterday I am at: I was in for an oil change & scheduled service where they reported I was up-to-date on all software.
  7. API access?

    If they did, I would not expect it to Be tied to being an EV - I would expect it to be tied to SYNC4 vehicles.
  8. SYNC4 Navigation for RV travel

    We will be embarking on a 3000 mile RV trip soon, and I am weighing out the pros and cons of using the SYNC4 Navigation System vs. Apple Maps. I like some of the integrations SYNC4 has with the truck like prompting you for fuel stops and dashboard information, but haven’t really used it much...
  9. Backing to a trailer

    Bingo! I am on gravel with an incline at my storage location. It is a covered spot, and there is a grade to channel water away from the building.
  10. Backing to a trailer

    I will try that as well. I had noticed that without a trailer, the Powerboost tends to creep really smooth using the electric motor on ECO. That is why I started there.
  11. Backing to a trailer

    I thought I had it off, but will make sure next time I connect.
  12. Backing to a trailer

    OK, I came from an ’02 with basically no assist on anything and I find myself fighting all the assist technology when connecting my trailer. My trailer has a Pro Pride 3P, which means instead of getting under with a ball and dropping the trailer down, I am inserting a stinger into the trailer...
  13. Frustrated With Tonneau Search...Perfect Tonneau?

    I pulled the trigger on the LEER HF650M last night.
  14. First Ford Power-Up Update

    I could be reading too much into things, but I think the “Power Up” updates are those that add new features. The upcoming Blue Cruise, Alexa and Car Play enhancements one is an example of that. I believe that will be the first of this type of update. Then there are the periodic OTA updates...
  15. Boxlink tie down anchors installed

    I am going to help My sone move some stuff this week, so I finally got around to installing the box link anchors. One went in with only ‘hand’ force. Two required some persuasion with a hammer. One required removing the mounting plate and significant hammer action. I hope they didn’t think I...
  16. Intelligent Cruise Control with speed limit recognition

    Driving on a highway yesterday using the adaptive cruise, I was noticing that the reported speed on the dash toggled between the highway’s 70 MPH and the frontage road’s 50MPH regularly - typically as I passed an exit. The frontage road had speed limit signs at the merge points from the...
  17. How can u hear these headrest speakers??

    Typically, surround speakers are not meant to stand out. They just provide enough supplemental sound to fake your brain‘s spacial awareness into thinking you are in the middle of the sound scape. May home entertainment system is the same way - the rear speakers are small and not loud, relative...
  18. 7.2KW generator not able to handle a circular saw

    What is the starting current spec for the saws? That Can be a high number sometimes, and maybe the generator is more conservative than a home circuit breaker on allowing momentary current surges.
  19. Frustrated With Tonneau Search...Perfect Tonneau?

    Is there a reason no one mentions the LEER HF650M? I like that one. It is a 4-section unit, making each section shorter and the third light is visible when folded. It has propping rods and safety straps, and tool less removal. It also has a nice looking locking system that is not a cable system...
  20. Trailer brake not working

    Conductive grease.
