Just migrated all my apps to a new phone. Ford app says my truck is 58% charged, but has "0 mi. est distance to empty".
@Ford Motor Company, how hard can it actually be to get the estimated range value from the truck to the screen?

Window washer fluid low warning light came on a week or so ago. Finally went to refill it.
Could not quite fit a full gallon in the reservoir.
@Ford Motor Company please take note of this PET PEEVE for all future vehicles.
Washer fluid reservoir capacity should be 1.5 gallons with low...
With my utility trailer attached, I could not figure out why it kept applying the brakes while attempting to back this trailer. In fact, I thought I was running into something and got out to check.
Finally figured it out.
My utility trailer turns out had bad taillights which caused the Lightning...

Please remove the obstructing "Full View Not Available" label on the screen when looking at the rear-camera. The thing I am attempting to view IS obstructed by this obnoxious message.
In the most recent example, I was hauling some brush and yard waste in a utility trialer...
The GMC dealer at the MN State Fair had a Hummer EV on display. The truck was a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
It did not help that the Hummer EV was parked next to some Denali 2500 HD's with lift kits and huge tire and wheel packages to attract a lot of attention at the fair.
But...
The outer skin of the charging door on my truck is not installed correctly - they missed getting it engaged on one of the tabs when it was assembled. It appears it is assembled by sliding some very fragile looking molded tabs into slots in the black plastic inner door piece. Easy enough to...
My F150 keeps warning me that it plans to install an update at 2:00 AM every day this past week. Seems like it is having problems actually installing the update. Is there something I need to do to enable the update to complete?
Loaded my 22 Pro with some metal parts the other day and had an actual use for the onboard scales. I knew the load was going to be at or just above the max rated payload. When I activated the onboard scale, it popped up a warning that said the load was over the max rating. Then when I...
One of the limitations of the Tesla Superchargers is the super-short cord that can only reach to the right side of the parking stall. F150 charge port is on the driver (left) side. To avoid blocking the stall next to the charger being utilized, it would be cool to have a charge port on the...
The latest software update to my F150 Lightning Pro Standard Range seem to have pegged the range at the max rated range when the truck is charged to 100%, Problem is, in the cold, that number is just a fiction. Was wondering how it would work during driving. Turns out, as you use the first...
Was driving home from the office the other evening and I knew I was cutting it close on battery range because of the cold. So I punched in Home on the Nav so I could see miles remaining to my destination vs. what the GOM was saying I had left for range.
The Nav refused to calculate a course...
There was a charger open at the office this morning where they have free charging with GE Wattpoint chargers. A Rivian was charging in the other slot, so I thought "Why not take advantage of the free charging AND show off the larger F150 Lightning parked next to the Rivian?"
But when I plugged...
My Lightning came with a Retrax Retractable Bed Cover installed by the dealer. Nothing wrong with it, but I need full length use of the bed for some of the cargo I haul, so pulling it off. There is not a model number I can find. Appears to be the polycarbonate model with the slats being...
