Started the truck yesterday and saw output power reduced to 57% and a dashboard message of "Service Vehicle Soon". Plugged in last night to charge, and woke up to find there was a charging fault and it stopped at 65% SoC. Tried replugging in, but charging fault persists. Turned on truck and...

I am interested in this as well. I really like the Lariat wheels (would like more painted black), but I prefer a little bit wider stance than stock. I am currently running with after-market wheels that have a +20 offset (stock Lariats are +44) with 285mm tires, so I figure compared to stock I...

I also find the console shifter bulky and unnecessary. I've seen the posts where people swap it with a rotary shifter - I just don't have the confidence to do that myself.

I'm not trying to start an argument - I'm genuinely curious if my understanding is incorrect... I know extreme over/under-inflation can cause uneven wear, but apart from the extremes it was always my understanding that lower pressure gives a softer ride, and higher pressure gives more efficiency...

I know that site too! Stopped there on a trip from Iowa to Oregon.

I think your estimate of range loss will prove to be pretty accurate based on my experience with 285/60R20 Mickey Thompson A/Ts on 20x9 Fuel Vector wheels with +20 offset. People said I was crazy to do mods that so significantly affected my range. But I don't regret. As long as you're not...

What about the bed outlets? Any reduction to their output while driving? (Yes I could RTFM, but this is more fun.)

Rivian does this as well. Clearly it can be done.

How long does it take to reach that speed with no precondition?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, but I worded it poorly. Seems there is not a whole lot of benefit to the precondition since the battery warms aggressively once you start charging anyway. Shaves a few minutes off your charge time maybe, but for a 3-hour trip a few extra minutes doesn't move...

Not like Wiscosin severe, but we do take some long trips for skiing where the temps are usually around the 20s (occasionally high teens).

Here's a question that questions the question itself. Bear with my while I lay this out. I don't hate the FordNav, but there are several other apps I prefer in general. The only reason I may use FordNav are (1) to get a better range estimate, or (2) for preconditioning the battery before DCFC...

Fair point.

Thanks Rick - is 77 the optimal temp for charging or for driving? And do you know if there would be active cooling in the same way like if you were driving to a DC charger on a hot day?

You're listening to Christmas songs well into February. How can we trust anything you say?

We know the battery is supposed to precondition to optimize charging when you have a charging stop programmed as your destination in FordNav. But is there any way to verify that this is happening? Like an indicator or a message on the screen? If not that, then what about monitoring battery temp...

You can do it twice (or one extended session of 30 mins), and then it's unavailable until you power it up in person.

Yeah I hear you. It's not that the GoM is poorly designed or programmed, but rather that it's being asked to do a very difficult job in predicting what future driving conditions will be. I find that it's very hard to get people to stop thinking in terms of "how many miles do I have left" because...

This is a great explanation. Do you mind if I ask your source of information?

I'm afraid your vehicle is totaled. I'll take it off your hands for $1200.
