They won't sell HIS in Canada because it has not been certified here. Given the reliability issues, I expect it won't be. I've been watching it for over 3 years, looking for a solution. I run the power from PPOB when needed. It is a pain because it isn't automatic.
It is very likely a continuity check heartbeat. The LED lights on trailers today are quite efficient and that "pulse" might only show up on some trailers with very efficient lights, and probably only when the truck is locked and armed. Disconnecting it while it is armed means it doesn't...
The heat in my 2023 is excellent even down to -18°F (that's my coldest experience last week in 3 years). I see a hit on startup as it warms the cabin and battery and I expect that might be less with the heat pump. Most of that hit draws from the EVSE if I start climate while plugged in.
My...
I would split this into 2 scenarios.
On hard slippery roads, travelling at speed - Absolutely not. The differential lock disables part of the traction control, and you don't want that.
If you are not on hard roads and have traction issues (like you are stuck in the snow). Engage the...
Just curious what kind of monitor and how often does it poll for information?
The reversion to Instrument Cluster notifications is usually a result of the Sync system taking too long to boot on startup after an update or Sync shutdown to conserve battery. (Sync doesn't fully shut down under...
The narrower trailer will definitely give you better range since it has less windage. Range is far more dependent on the amount of air the front of the trailer has to push vs. weight or length.
Lots of great advice above. Consider how you will LOAD your trailer. The single-axle trailer will be limited in the cargo weight it can carry, and if you overload it, it will not be stable. It will amaze you how fast you'll hit the 4300lbs. If you are a light packer, it might work, but I'm...
Excellent thread to have just in case..... I have a permanently mounted 5A NOCO charger that would have saved me for this case, but I've packed this trick into my memory banks in case I need it someday.
It is not necessary to do the discharge to 15-20% in one day. You can do it over several days, but keep in mind that the BMS has to calculate based on current battery temperatures and kWh in/out of the battery at the time/temperature. I'm amazed at how accurate Ford gets on this, but it is...
I wouldn't worry. Your SOH is 100%. If you want to calibrate, charge to 100%, drive to about 15-20%, then charge to your normal SOC. That will calibrate the BMS based on current conditions, but as others have said, its cooler so you may not see any improvement and won't likely see the full...
Yes, I've noticed deep sleep is far less frequent this year as well. It seems it recharges the 12v multiple times before going to Deep Sleep, where previously it would do it on the first low SOC event even while plugged in.
Nice step in the right direction.
Mine is definitely not going into deep sleep mode. I track my 12v independently and it is good. My truck tracks everything in the app like SOC, charging state etc, so it is communicting with the Ford servers. I say a software glitch on the truck or server glitch specific to the Climate Start...
There have been a few creative storage ideas for trucks over the years, but the Frunk is my favourite and by far, the most accessible. Under-bed presents access challenges, body side panel compartments present limitations for covers and caps, Rivian's storage system is neat but cuts into bed...
