I got the ProClip USA Ford Angled Dash Mount (for Lariat and Platinum editions with BlueCruise cameras) that clips into the dash and passenger side AC vent just to the right of the Sync4A screen. No tools are needed (I didn't pull the adhesive strip off the top of the clip that would glue it...

I had a severe phantom braking event traveling on an Interstate at ~65 mph where my truck suddenly and severely braked to ~35 to 38 mph for no apparent reason (using speed limit signs in BlueCruise was turned off). Ford did respond to my complaint and notified the service manager at my dealer -...

Further Non-Responsive Lighting Paradox Update (and Postscript) (8/1/23 epilog): In retrospect, it's likely what caused the non-responsive lights is that on driving into a dark garage in the middle of a very bright day outside, I unconsciously turned the headlights from Autobeam to the full-on...

Sometimes when you travel, especially in mountainous regions and with altitude and weather changes, the exterior temperature changes drastically. You might want to know what it is before you leave your vehicle inadequately dressed. Also, if it's near freezing and it's been raining, you might...

While setting up a new State Farm Drive Safe & Save Bluetooth beacon to use in my truck, I was looking for a Faraday cage to prevent the old beacon from interfering without having to walk the old beacon a mile away (or even put it in the frig!). It occurred to me that the closest Faraday cage...

If that's the case, does that mean that those of us who aren't subject to the recall because we have trucks built after 3/29/23 (IIRC) have weep holes in the light bars installed after that date? Maybe somebody could post a picture of where the weep holes are and what they look like, and I'll...

For my broken strip pin part, I was musing whether it might be reproduced with a 3D printer if it's not available to buy. I recently bought my first 3D printer, but I've been too busy since getting the truck in May to learn how to use the printer. And the most durable plastic for a relatively...

Actually, if you have a tailgate step, the clips are readily accessible without unscrewing or pulling out anything. And, likely, inserting and/or removing the tailgate step from the tailgate was the cause of the broken clip and bulging trim strip that I depicted in my OP post. In the first...

Are you sure the fans/compressor aren't going bananas just trying to cool the cabin? I keep my garage around 85 deg (the garage exterior walls and attic are insulated, and there are lots of shade trees around our house). But when I turn on my truck, the cabin AC fires up with a substantial...

Nothing about the delivery of my truck indicated that I was going to get the heated steering wheel, except the price was $140 more than my confirmed order with the heated steering wheel removal "option" listed. The heating steering wheel just showed up in the truck, and no documentation listed...

Today when I went to load some stuff into my truck bed, I noticed a plastic strip at the back inside top edge of my tailgate is popping out at one attachment point (see picture below). I tried pushing the bulge back in with my hand, even stomping on it with my foot. No luck. Does anyone know...

TIA for someone explaining how to read the battery temperature gauges. Ford doesn't give any explanation in the manual. Here's the illustration of the top part of the dash panel from the manual: I've been interpreting the bluish bar as a "capillary" scale, similar to a reddish-colored...

That's true. A Ford rep told me that the cooling only comes on when the batteries are 100 deg F. And also, my truck is in a closed system. It's like running a portable AC unit in a room with no vent to the outside. And outside, it's even hotter than inside (as much as 106 deg this summer)...

On adaptive cruise control braking situations where someone pulls in front of you, I've set the desired separation distance to the max (4 blocks or car lengths, whatever). So, I'm usually the maximum adaptive cruise control distance behind a vehicle that's been ahead of me for a while, giving...

I agree. I am a low-mileage driver as an old retiree. Since my truck is "in storage" most of the week except for my few 10- to 20-mile trips, usually on separate days, I only charge to 50% on a daily basis (the Ford-recommended SOC for long-term storage). My usual long trip is to Austin, TX...

So, the battery fire delay for me and a bunch of other folks was a blessing in disguise. My truck was scheduled to be built in February 2023, but because of the fire got delayed until April 2023. So, no lightbar recall for me. Hurray!

I am looking for a bed-mount winch solution. I was wondering if I might operate it using the Pro Power Onboard? I have a couple of scrap items that I want to take to a metal recycling facility. One weighs about 100 to 120 lbs. When I was 30 years younger, I could lift it off the ground onto...

I guess if the "high-level engineers" are the same folks who put the BT module on the right rear of the passenger compartment and the charging port (and proximity to the FCSP) on the left front of the vehicle, it's probably not wise to trust their knowledge and judgment of "little details" that...

From looking at the troubleshooting info on the Sunrun field website, I'm not sure it's a Wi-Fi issue per see unless just the density of Wi-Fi signals in an area is swamping out BT communication. In slide 2 of Troubleshooting: Issues Commissioning the BDi Inverter, the slide says: It sounds...

As I noted in my previous post above, on June 14, the backup worked 2x running. However, on 6/27/23 and today, 6/29, multiple attempts to get the backup to work failed. The FCSP lights would turn green, and the Intelligent Backup screen in the truck would say, "Preparing to transfer backup...
