I guess you're fortunate enough to never have had anything stolen from inside your car in a parking garage.
The risk is trivial to eliminate in any car that already has a valet key or "valet mode". Even if for some reason they couldn't have routed the frunk release cable to the glovebox (like...
Yeah, they could have put that release in the glovebox, which they could have arranged to lock in valet mode too. Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents...you know the rest I'm sure.
I've had many cars with valet keys or a valet mode. On every one of them, valet mode has locked the trunk - even in one car where the "trunk" was a hatchback, which was a little pointless - except my F150.
I had to drop the truck off last night at a parking lot where I definitely don't trust...
This worked out fine. The shop I had already settled on - which had Tesla and Audi certification and was also one of the "Ford Network" shops recommended by the FordPass app/Ford website - was able to get the parts in a little under two weeks and beat their original deadline of 18 days to get...
Seems like most (all?) our trucks are coming from the factory with the coolant at or just above the minimum line on the filler tank. But below the line - has anyone here seen that without a leak eventually being found?
It's started doing the same to me with a charger I use near Albany NY. I thought it was a one time glitch when I saw it a few weeks ago but it sounds just like the behavior you're describing. Bad map update, I guess.
So the problem is that Federal safety standards prohibit them from "remembering" off-road mode, since it changes electronic stability control settings. I wonder if they'll give us an update that remembers any other drive mode but not that one?
I never found any suitable steelies when I looked last year. The 17" ones, I think we've recently confirmed, don't actually clear the brakes - and I couldn't find an in-stock 18" steel option that had a published load rating adequate for the ER truck.
Here's what I did find. I could dig up...
The A2Z Tesla -> J1772 adapter can be used. I bought one to replace the terrible, unsafe Hansshow adapter a family member was using. It seems fine.
Like everyone else I am waiting eagerly to learn whether I'll have to buy the A2Z Tesla -> CCS adapter or whether Ford will be buying me one...
I've only ever used spacers on vehicles that used lug bolts (my old VW Eurovan), not studs with lug nuts. If you use spacers on a vehicle with lug bolts, you use longer bolts to accommodate the spacers. I'm not sure what the answer would be with the closed-top lug nuts used on the F150 - but...
Oh, man. They interfered with the brake caliper or rotor, I'm guessing? I don't think anyone's running 17" wheels with the stock offset that I've heard of around here anyway.
Maybe they have an 18" steelie that works? There are good winter tire options in 18" and all-weather options like the...
"The hybrid truck can also do this in the Limited trim, but power generation caps out at 7.2 kWh of power compared to the Lightning’s 131 kWh. Standard gas models can be equipped with 2.0 kWh or 2.4 kWh, depending on trim and engine."
Quality journalism as I know we've all come to expect from...
Initial estimate from the body shop my insurer recommended (Ford certified, Tesla certified, Audi certified) came back at $17,000. $9K parts, $8K labor. I was wrong about the hood - the hood, light bar, and grille are separate parts and they're each around $1K. Headlamp assembly at $900...
That looks a lot like my damage except I guess you clipped the fender panel too. If you don't mind my asking, what else did you end up needing replaced?
It tried to. Trailer in front of me slowed while accelerating away from a light when the guy in front of him made an unexpected left turn. The beeper went off and I near simultaneously stomped the brake to the floor. My foot slipped off the edge of the brake pedal and hit the gas, overriding...
Is the headlight shared with other current production F150 models? Because of the damage to the trailer involved (sigh) this is all going through insurance, but I do remember signing a waiver agreeing to use of reconditioned parts to speed up a repair years ago, and, I mean...I don't want my...
Sadly, yesterday evening I had a minor collision in my '22 Lariat ER. Thank goodness no injuries, both vehicles were driveable, and the contents of the fully enclosed trailer that got a whack from the headlight area of my truck were undamaged as well - as was the F350 towing it.
It was an...
Yeah - there's that thread, and a few others in Mach-E forums. I'd observed something similar running packet captures but I hadn't pinned it down to the domain name yet.
What I saw was one of the two client devices in the truck repeatedly receiving perfectly good DHCP OFFER messages and just...
