This is my new go-to thread when dudes on the internet say our trucks don't do truck stuff. 'OK, maybe towing is particularly challenging in an EV, but can your truck make beer?!?'

This is the way. I would do this exact thing if I had it to do all over, even though I'm enormously satisfied with my Emporia EVSE. After almost a year of home charging, I have never once wanted for more than 48 amps. In fact, I de-rate my Emporia for normal operation, and only step up to 48 in...

I love bluecruise. Even V1.0. I use it every day. I made the mistake of letting The Wife drive it on a road trip, and now she wants a mach E. Probably wouldn't spring for a yearly subscription, but it's definitely worth a $50 charge for a road trip. I just drove a Tesla with FSD. Not a fan.

This sounds like a recipe for hating your truck, if it dies on you 5 miles from the event. My advice: stop and charge at a supercharger in Dubuque or Rockford, for the 10 minute boost duration of the charging curve. Everybody gets to pee, and you get to feel more comfortable about the trip not...

That's a slick little hack (manual precondition via tow mode) I wish I had known for my summer trips. Do you know if this is this true for all vehicles, or maybe just those with max tow package?

Bought November '23. Enormously happy. I'm not going back to gas unless they make me (and noone's going to make me). If you can charge at home and drive less than 200 miles a day, it's far more convenient than an ICE vehicle.

I'd like to be next, please.?‍♂️

I'm bumped from August to September too. Everybody is entitled to their opinions, and I'm not necessarily saying it's wrong to blame Ford, but I'm personally more inclined to blame Tesla in this instance, since they're actually producing the things I'm sure firing the entire Tesla supercharger...

This here is whatcha call a 'First World' Problem?

This is the way. I did the same, and the shipping delays are infinitely less frustrating to me. If I never charge at a supercharger, it's still money well spent.

Night shots! Where's the night shots?

I dig it. Those blue LEDs were a good call. This might be my favorite grille mod.

Other than bluecruise 1.[2-4], this is the one I've been waiting for. I was getting an update a week for a couple months, and then they stopped after 6.5 (just before 6.8). I'm ready, OTA God's! Give me my current state of charge on my instrument cluster!

Somehow lowly Alabama, home of the $200 punitive ev tax, has more magic docks than Texas, Florida, Michigan, etc. That makes no sense, but I'm not complaining. Proud graduate of Texas A&M, here. Not trying to throw too much shade at Texas, but ... not exactly the first time I've heard a Texan...

Ok, well I asked her and she laughed. And then she laughed some more. And now she's still laughing. Not sure how to take that...

I agree with others, this seems like a near perfect application for an electric truck. I think you could get by with a standard range battery, but I'd get an ER, because you'll likely to want to road trip it once you realize how comfortable it is. I mean, this is just anecdotal, and...

Is this the Ford adapter you're using, or a 3rd party adapter? I hadn't heard any reports on the Ford adapter being difficult to plug in, but definitely have on the 3rd party ones. And yeah, agree on the performance and utility of the supercharger network. Much more comfortable road-tripping...
