In general I find overly bright running lights to be worse than many lights. Above the cutoff there is surprisingly little light, maybe a lux or three at 200 feet. But that is a focused beam. The running light being unfocused, diffuse, makes the brightness to other drivers increase rapidly

Use of the vehicle on private land, use during events such as a local autocross (as support vehicle) or as a parking vehicle for a school function, or maybe if you are at an accident, or maybe involved IN an accident. You may also have things like firefighters or other non-LEO responders.

It seems that some (or all?) 2020+ Ford vehicles may come with a built-in Wig Wag function (flashing lights) I found this thread that discusses the feature in detail: 2020 FPIU Headlight Wig Wag Patterns https://elightbars.org/forums/threads/2020-fpiu-headlight-wig-wag-patterns.96728/ To...

I mean, LOTS of threads on battery life too. We just had another one yesterday. In short, ABC, always be charging. Charge every chance you get, keep the battery at as low of a SOC as works for you (but not too low), and keep it cool.

The Battery University article there isn't perfectly clear on the testing however it is the norm to run the battery through the same number of "cycles" (100% of capacity) for all tests. In a case similar to the graph linked 25% to 50% (25%) would be done 4 times, 25% to 75% (50%) would be done...

I have not seen a study that dives into the difference for such LOW charge rates. Typically studies are done around a "C" rate, and iirc one C is the norm (the full capacity of the battery in one hour is one "C"). A 4C battery would be able to go from completely dead to 100% in 15 minutes...

With NMC the preferred method is ABC, Always Be Charging. I don't have the studies handy, and you can find a ton of info here on the forum (Mikey is THE guy if you find his threads). In short the batteries we use like more small charges than fewer big ones, so daily charging, or even more than...

I am trying to remember now but isn't there a humidity sensor? If so then I can see recirc being the default (to save energy) and it just monitors the humidity to see of condensation could be an issue.

Does it think you have a Standard Range for some reason? One hour between stops would be semi-normal for an SR traveling highway speeds in the winter.

I don't expect range would be impacted much, if at all. I would think that an extended cab 6.5 bed would be fairly easy. Iirc that is the same wheelbase as the crew cab short bed. A crew cab 6.5 bed would be more difficult as Henry Ford said. I imagine Ford made the lightning in its most...

Plenty still to repair. Tires, alignments, balancing, shocks, steering, ballpoint, axles, bushings, hoses, exterior, interior, electronics, etc. I really don't imagine many dealers are doing a lot of internal engine or transmission work. I also doubt they are getting rich on oil changes and...

I kept the lower bolt tight. I did not touch my rear door. I had a service appointment too. They didn't accomplish anything, even though they had someone special look at it. 2 minutes with a wrench and I had fixed it myself.

Nope, I love my frunk. Although I don't use it much, I still use it more than the max range of the truck. I do wish Ford had done a "Charger-Like" design on the front though. Flow through grill with hood vents would be great, especially considering the factory grill is fairly, meh...

(Sigh) And this thread is a perfect example of why Ford made such changes.

Funny, we just had a big thread discussing this. Well discussing how Ford doesn't really explain how "keep hands on wheel" is determined. At the end of the day Ford determines if your hands are on the wheel through steering input. You have to put a bit of pressure turning the truck. If it...

You may have it. The only thing I can figure out is this guy wants a "i can go at least this far" number.

That IS how far you will go. How far you will actually go. How far you can go IS determined by those things. That is what the truck will ACTUALLY do. Anything else is just a lie to make you feel better. Why do you want a number that isn't true? The baseline is 300 miles. That is what the epa...

Right! Just put a post-it note on the dash that says 100% charge is 300 miles. And then the dash can show how many miles you can actually go... The worst part is that this is the exact reason the GOM is so bad. Too many come in and ask why their truck doesn't go 300 miles at 100% charge...

You don't fill your truck with miles. How many miles you can drive is, and will always be, an average of your driving habits. You cannot put "300 miles" into your truck, you can only put a quantity of energy, how far you can go will always be the mathematical equation relating your energy usage...
