What exactly is the crime being discussed here? A "bad guy" gets in one of the other doors you unlock and does what? I can't even figure out why a criminal would want to do that or what they would do after they got in the car with you. Will someone explain this to me?

Cool trip. I noticed only your* shorts were wet in one of the photos. Technically, it doesn't count unless you are completely submerged.😁 * I'm assuming @CD4TNF is the writer of the article.

As a data point...2022 Platinum. I've run 20" Lariat wheels and stock Hankook A/T tires about 15,000 miles, mostly in colder months. They have worn badly on the outside. I've run stock 22" Platinum wheels and General Grabber tires about 20,000 miles, mostly in warmer months. They have worn...

Ford's customer service is just poor. I hate to say it because I like Ford and own two Ford vehicles I really love. I'm going through a similar issue. I have a battery issue which I researched on this website before going to the dealership. They tried fixing it their way - at Ford's direction -...

The global problem is that the truck has 50+ modules with software developed and maintained by whatever supplier made the most sense to deal with whenever the feature was first developed. It's not so much an architecture as a ramshackle shelter. Sort of amazing it works at all. As an aside...

PSA: DTC codes are universal. You can use a Google search to get a lot of information. Google's AI assistant came up with this (and more) when I searched "C0039 DTC." AI is 100% stealing content from forums but I'm not going to be the one to fight our AI Overlords. Hail, hail AI!

I can't argue with your reasoning at all. I can think of at least one financial decision that I have made that wasn't conventional but it took risk off the table and allowed me to sleep at night. My Dad paid off his house early with a low interest loan. Not a great financial move but he had a...

All true, but what have you given up by purchasing the warranty? You have traded something for the ability to drive a nice truck and the piece of mind that failures are reasonably covered. That "something" is opportunity cost and is mostly hypothetical, but I'm sure you can think of something...

Is there a difference in noise?

Agreed. True. If we look at it another way, does it make sense to carry a liability that could bankrupt you? Insurance mitigates the problem but a better financial solution is to drive a less expensive vehicle with cheaper maintenance liabilities.

Is a free charger worth it? Yes. Is it the best charger available? No. Does it matter? No, it transfers electrons. It's fine. Do I ask questions and then answer them myself? Yes.

Welp, it took three trips to the dealership to determine what I figured out on June 22 by reading f150lightningforum.com; my truck has a bad battery module. Once the dealership figures out when the parts will be delivered we will schedule the repair. Hopefully we can lock in a date today or...

Borrowed vehicles are the best vehicles to experiment on!😆

There are easy mode options that aren't available on your vehicle. For instance, there are IP display options that are Mustang options. You won't be able to activate these options because they don't exist in the Lightning. Easy mode is easy to undo. In that sense it's safe. It's not always...

Do we really think Ford engineers didn't consider how water would interact with the charge port? Water in the charge port isn't a problem. I am so confident of this that I charge my truck outside all year...in Michigan.

I wasn't speaking for anyone else but if it helps others, all the better. I don't think bad actors should be protected with anonymity.

Name the dealership. They don't want my business and I don't want to give it to them by mistake.

I can't help with your network problem. In my opinion Google Maps via Android Auto is superior to Ford Navigation. The guys who use FDRS should be able to let you know what that software is capable of. I think you would at least be able to update modules with it. Good luck!

The model Y is already stripped-down and streamlined. The announcement of a "new car" coincided a 45% drop in TSLA over five months. It was a cynical attempt to stem the bleeding. And it kind of worked...🤷

It's still a Ford.🤣
