I work from home and there are weeks were I only drive my truck a few days out of the week. As we know, sitting at higher SOC during higher temperatures is harder on the battery.
Therefore I have adopted the following strategy (southern OH):
Peak Summer: 60%
Peak Winter: 90%
Everything Else...
I agree there is a potential big gap between the marketing of an EREV and the reality.
I could be wrong but I donāt think Ford is going to go down this path. Ford already has difficulty in making a profit with a pure BEV F150. Adding the expense of a combustion engine will only make that more...
It is indeed a new bug that was introduced. There is a thread around somewhere on this topic.
I left a voice feedback from the truckās feedback app. I recommend others do as well so hopefully it gets addressed ASAP.
Hot takeā¦
I feel it was always a compromise born in the infancy of EVās to cope with the inability to smoothly blend regen with friction brakes.
Ford, and others, have solved that problem, IMO.
Not that you canāt prefer regardless.
One thing I noticed different from the 5.x version to the 6.x version is the way the Bluetooth controls work. In 5.x the controls were greyed out unless you were within range of your vehicle. In 6.x they are lit up always, but if you click them outside of range it gives you a notification that...
Iāve charged twice at a Ford dealer while on the road. It was good experience. They had 250KW chargers (2x2), I was the only one there, and they had a nice lounge and bathrooms. My only negative thing to say is they cost the same as most other providers, but there is no option to buy into a...
My experience with the updateā¦
I found no new streaming apps native to Sync. Still just YouTube.
When connect with my iPhone, I was unable to stream YouTube, Netflix, or AppleTV to sync (I was in park when I tried). It didnāt happen automatically, and it was not an option for video in the...
I thought it might be helpful to revive this thread, plus I have a related question I couldnāt find an answer too.
Scheduled departures has completely different climate settings compared to the one off prepare cabin climate button in the Ford app.
Today is the first snow Iāve experienced in my...
There isnāt enough facts to know what is going on yet.
The news sensationalizes literally everything. Watching the TSB news conference directly regarding the UPS plane crash and the news reports hours later is a great recent example.
The fact that someone reported they had their 2025 order...
As an anecdotal data point, I just finished a 900 mile round trip using SiriusXM, ABRP, and Apple maps the whole time with zero issues. iPhone 17 Pro Max on iOS 26.1.
This echos my experience as well, but with a 24. My previous ICE F150ās worked great. I could set 70F and leave it there all year.
My Lightning seems more than capable of heating the cabin even in demanding situations, but the auto function leaves a lot to be desired.
What is strange, is that...
I donāt think a butt-o-meter is accurate enough to detect small fluctuations in power. But if your sphincty senses were on to something, anything that affects traction will affect acceleration. Cold tires, worn tires, dew, rain, oily road, etcā¦
I was getting this after the update to BC 1.4. Someone here advised me that BC 1.4 adds the requirement of the driver's seat belt, including for lane centering. So if you are like me, and don't always buckle up.... š
