Thanks to a previous post here about low coolant, it was on my mind. So when I heard the coolant pump sounding a little funny upon starting a charge, I decided to go and check mine. 2024 Lariat with 10k miles. Well, it was incredibly low. With Ford’s love of dings, you’d think at this level I’d...

Thanks for sharing! I think adding this to my '24 Lariat would be nice. I don't have Forscan, but I've used similar software for Volkswagen and BMW. @TylerEggs Forscan's website says that 2024 models are not supported. I've been putting off Forscan because of this, but clearly it's working with...

THIS. I was told this when a rabbit chewed through a wiring harness for the drive unit on our Tesla a few years ago. I believe it's a soy-based insulation. Required a tow to the service center and $250 to replace the harness.

Looks like Washington state is really getting after it! Well, I’m way less annoyed at the State of Colorado considering the amount other states are taxing EVs.

Wait, so a heavier vehicle gets less tax? That seems pretty odd since usually a heavier vehicle is causing more wear on the roads. ?‍♂️

I'm curious what your state does for EV registration taxes. Please let us know! Today, I registered our Tesla with the state of Colorado, and there seems to be an increase in EV-related fees. When I first registered an EV in 2020, it was a single $50 fee. This year, it's $69 divided between two...

You're spot on. I do think this is what is happening. Ford tells me this in my messages: I'm also wondering if there is any other way to clear this TPMS error (and get the sensors functioning properly) without having to plug in.

Good thought. I wouldn't think so. I charge in my garage and the stock wheels are in my shed about 30 feet from the back of the garage. When i drive around town the TPMS functions normal with the winter wheels; fluctuating pressure readings on a cold day.

The error happens after about 20 minutes of driving and only on that specific spot of interstate. The error stays on all day after turning the truck on and off multiple times and about 100 miles of driving. Only after I charge does the error go away and the tpms starts functioning normal. It’s...

Exactly. Ford could have saved me many hours of work and the stress of possibly losing out on $7500.

I'm getting a TPMS fault every time I drive a specific stretch of highway. The fault remains if I turn off and on the truck. It clears after I charge. This is an aftermarket set of TPMS sensors that I bought from Tire Rack for my winter wheels. The sensors haven't displayed this behavior...

Get a time-of-sale report! I'm 6+ months from purchase and still waiting for my POS tax credit. I know this isn't the exact situation as the OP, but I've learned more than I care about the 2024 EV tax credit. Let me specify that this process is different from the 2023/2022 process of filing...

Fred. my young daughter named him. It’s fitting with all his glitches. Oh Fred!

Super helpful. Thanks for sharing. Adding this wrench to my 12V jumper bag.

yes, the license plate bolts to the mount and the whole mount+plate gets removed by pushing two tabs on the back of the holder.

I have a problem. I live in a state where front license plates are required (Colorado). But I don’t like them and I don’t put them on. The only place I’ve ever been ticketed for it (fingers crossed) in the past 20 years is downtown Denver by the parking police. so when I’m headed downtown and I...

This depends on the tire. The Michelin X-Ice snow SUV in 20" (275/60R20) has a 115T load rating. Both 18" X-ice snows I'm considering (275/65R18 and 255/70R18) have a 116T load rating (2756 lb). There are even XL-rated snows out there.

@Henry Ford I too love to speculate! The narrower tire will certainly have less grip on dry roads. My main motivations for winter tires are: 1. prevent getting stuck in deep snow (10+ inches) while driving to winter trailheads 2. having control while driving through slush (and lane changes) on...

I'm looking to pickup some Michelin X Ice snow tires for the winter here in Colorado. They'll go on a second set of 18" rims. Michelin sells these tires in 275/65R18 and 255/70R18. These two-size tires have identical diameters and load ratings. The 255 tire weighs 36 lb and the 265 tire weighs...

I went with a used OEM 18" ford wheel off a FX4 Lariat, 18x7.5, 44 offset, load limit of 2025# per wheel (8100# total) - Paid $459 shipped off of eBay + $560 for powder coating locally. I'm not worried about the lower load limit since I don't haul anything.
