I'll agree. The once or thrice we used EC in the Atlantic Maritime provinces this past December & January on our Newfoundland trip, EC always reliably worked.
Sorry about that.
Since their new svelte charging stations came in, they seem to work pretty reliably, almost all the time.
Maybe this is somehow regional? No company that spans the continent is a true monolith...?
This is the Houdini lock lubricant I use, per recommendation of a really good local locksmith. It's better than big box and auto shop lock lubricants... it unfroze our frozen & full of very fine Canadian road sand locks on the teardrop during our December adventures in Newfoundland Canada...
Sure.
I have some Ford tech manual pages on disassembly / reassembly of the front and the rear. Unfortunately my old laptop broke but I still have the paper versions. I'll dig them up, scan and attach them tomorrow.
What you need to get from the Ford dealership ahead of the job:

Some folks are trained Army Armor tankers who have seen hydraulics fail and crush men. Like, that 1.5 ton cannon which looks very reliably sturdy until its hydraulics give out.
Yes. I have four RUD chains. They stow behind the rear left seat back.
I've used RUD chains for years on many cars.
On my Lightning (OEM size tires) I use this model, cut & pasted from the RUD USA dealer:
"For your tire size – 275/60R20, you would need part #2532 – Grip 4x4. For a pair...
I change my all-season and Winter tires myself as well.
The trick I've found to line up the wheel studs to the heavy wheel is to lower the jack height just enough so that the heavy wheel barely touches the ground, and then to rotate it onto the top wheel stud, while its weight is supported in...
I would never trust a bottle jack while my body parts are under a heavy vehicle. Hydraulics can and do fail without warning.
"It only takes one time"...
Often, strange behavior like this can go away by resetting the APIM. Depending on the screen (12 inch or 15 inch screen), resetting the APIM is done by two touch screen buttons or two physical buttons and takes just seconds.
I tend to do this every month or so, and on every long trip, to clear...
I noticed my 2023 OEM 12V battery was swollen to a significant degree this past Fall.
I drive a lot and the truck had just about 80 thousand miles this Fall. This mileage included some Utah, Nevada, SoCal and Arizona mileage this past Summer, so some hot sustained temperatures.
I replaced it...
It's not a lot of work. The right taillight unscrews with just two (2) screws and pulls right out. It's about 10 minutes or less.
I assume Your device came with a short plug & play interconnector harness for the taillight. If not, it is likely another manufacturer's interconnector harness...
I frankly like the truck look slightly raked, just as it is.
Reminds me of the 1970 era Mustangs.
"Leveled" = "boring" to my eyes.
Now let the outraged flaming begin... :crackup:
