In my opinion, compared to previous cars, the truck is too loud in rain and tunnels. My plan is to add some Amazon basic "dynamat" mats. I have some leftovers from the doors, and some 3m thinsulate.
My question:
Do the Amazon basic mats smell when they get hot...
After nearly a year of ownership, I am still very in love with the truck, but there are a lot we don´t have. And for $100.000+ we should. All 1000 trucks are identical 2023 Lariats, SR.
- No OTAs
- No updates from FORD, stuck on 2023 software, 640 22326
- No 175 kW charging
- No BlueCruise
- No...
I have 230 V outlets in the bed and in the cab, but the APIM says its max 2.3 kw.
This is in the modded Norwegian trucks. Did Ford pull out the 2.3 kW unit and rebranded the 7.2 kW one to 2.3 kW and called it a day?
Or do the 2.3 kW unit deliver 230 V as well?
Tested my truck in snow today. Had some drifts forming in the road down from my cabin. Drove down without problems, snow barely touching the skid plate.
Tried to drive back up, but lost momentum pretty quickly. Any throttle just made the back end drift sideways and threatening to get me...
I want to protect my rear window from mishaps in the (truck) bed. I have the Ford retrax tonneau cover. And the car is wet and covered in salt 6 months of the year. Are there any good solutions out there?
I have a problem with signaling other drivers. Especially in roundabouts (explanation here) other cars will wait for me, and then I turn out of the roundabout before passing them. Causing a mild an unnecessary delay in their day, and I getting hate for it.
I am using the turn signal, and I can...
I want to log whenever the vehicle is in battery saver mode. I happens multiple times every day, but it sometimes goes away without starting the vehicle. 12v battery is declared good by Ford, and logging the 12v battery kinda confirms it.
- Is wifi connectivity a sign of the vehicle NOT on...
I usually drive with some light gloves in winter time, but adjusting temperature or opening my garage door requires me to remove my gloves. Not a great solution in heavy weather, when hands on the steering wheel is a necessity. I Asia they use sausages to enable touch while gloved, but I am not...
In the Sync settings, is the Software Updates menu always visible? Or only when an update is available? I can’t find it in my settings, below connectivity.
I did just start capturing traffic from my truck, sendt over wifi. It is talking to a lot of IP-addresses. Some expected, some not so welcome. There are a lot of traffic to the DNS-root servers as well. My plan was to capture a night of traffic, to see if it did anything during nights, as I...
There is limited space in my garage, and my charge port is on the right side of the vehicle, and that's the side I enter the garage.
To unplug the charge cable I either have to walk around the truck and unlock the car with the driver door, or fish out my key and press the button. I loose at...
I am trying to discover what modules in the Norwegian 2023 Lariat SR that is unoriginal. So far I have found the:
- BECM switched from XXX to NL38-10B687-XA
- TCU switched from PL3T-14H076-FNF to NU5T-14H074-CHE
And possibly:
- RTM - Radio Transceiver Module from XXX to FT4T-15K619-AB (or any...
Or more specifically, ChatGPT did. It takes a couple of .ab files as input, and compares them to the first .ab file you input. It outputs the result to screen and a "exctraced_codes.txt". I apologize to any coders this vibe code may offend, but I am not a coder.
I use it to compare the...
I have the Norwegian model of the 2023 Lariat. And they did a lot of modifications before selling them to us.
I would like to compare it to a us 2023 Lariat SR. I have downloaded my complete As Built file, and the file explorer/comparer.
Do anyone want to share their As Built file?
I will...
I finally got a FordPass activated, but the tech said I would not get any updates because there was only one Norwegian version, and switching to the US sw would break at least DAB.
But activating DAB is only a switch in ForScan. And I prefer english in my tech anyways. But how do I let the...
No, you are not.
There are no trails, no forest roads, no greenlanes, no nothing that you are allowed to drive on.
Offroading is illegal. Forest roads exist, but unless you own them and have a reason to use them, you can't.
There are a few offroad clubs with some "offroad areas", but that...
I was really looking forward to the scales. Did they remove everything for the scales, or just some component? There was no deduction in price on the sticker. Will they install it later?
I asked the deal what they did to the cars when rebuilding it to European specs.
1. Added orange blinkers
2. Ripped out the complete onboard charger system and replaced it with a charger from an E-Transit.
I am not sure what to think about that.
