I just found this today. I bet it was already shared. April Fools. Good one. https://fordauthority.com/2026/04/2027-ford-f-150-thunder-and-lightning-debuts-as-all-new-erev-pickup/

NOCO to the rescue!

Damned if you do damned if you don't! Good things we have DC/DC converters that will keep our batteries perfect for ever! Not!!!

Took I nice ride for a few hours today cuz the weather was just too nice NOT to! Got down to about 45% which isn't low but as low as it's been in a while. Before I got home I decided to stop at the new Ionna in Parsippany. Also got to stop at Island drag way for some good ol ICE action...

Amended.

It seems that I get them all at once. I got four or more that were back to back to back in November. I woke up to one this morning with a message saying that there is an update due to be installed in the next 24 hours. I've seen others post about them. It is the DCFC lock and something else...

Yeah, I'm super happy with the warm weather returning and getting 2.8-2.9 consistently. I hope all the mods I want to do and my right foot can maintain above 2.0!

Answered my own question. Do you put the Wildfinder on the roof or crossbars over the bed?

It's Russian software?

Is the hardshell for the 270 Canopy or something else? That thing looks super useful for those rainy days and shade!

Oops! Already discussed. Awesome build! Love it! Flares, bumper, orange hilites, overall improved off-road capable look of the truck.

LIght bar!

I just keep the NOCO in the frunk, connected to the battery and have the AC plug hanging out the front like an old diesel engine warmer. You could also run the AC cord out the charge door. I don't see the need to have the charger separated from the wiring for the 1 lb of weight savings.

So @Bushwood CC has the right idea. Why isn't this common sense to Ford or other manufacturers? Alec at Technology Connections has mentioned this several times when talking about his Hyundai.

But along those lines, having on a level 2 charger for departure time, then driving for any amount of time should keep the battery warm enough to successfully DCFC at the next stop, correct?

Sorry, I confused preconditioning for departure vs preconditioning for charging. During level 2 charging the battery will be brought up to temp as needed and for departure times as I recall.

Thanks! So put in a destination charger in the Ford nav is the only way to get it warmed up without being plugged to at least a level 2 charger? Google maps finally shows in the "distance to" gauge, but won't precondition,Waze seems to have neither of those functions, and Apple maps is hit or miss?

Been doing some research. Would removing the ground conductor/prong from the truck to the house/generator inlet fix this issue? The house would still be protected by it's ground system, and the truck wouldn't see any current on the ground. Is there a way with PPOB, as there is with a standard...

Back to preconditioning before charging. If I start my drive with enough juice, and I drive for an hour, the batteries should be warm enough for fast charging, correct? If I'm ever on a long distance trip, I'm not stopping for at least an hour between charging, and that should keep everything...
