Nice! I like that this is an option now. $800 does seem like a lot though compared to the ~$150 or so for the rotary dial. And both of these would involve removing the console shifter I imagine so it's not like you're saving any steps.
Those conversations are out there lol. There's been no official word from Ford as to why, but the popular user explanations are: safety reasons; to reduce calls to tech support saying their truck is losing more range with it on; to piss us off.
Ideally, Ford would just inform the user when...
From the complaints I've seen of PPO while truck is off -- mainly needing to have a constant load >60W applied otherwise it shuts off -- it really isn't necessary. Turn off the main screen, turn off HVAC/radio, etc: You've got the same thing but without the 60W requirement.
Also Tesla has no union either and there are numerous complaints from owners about build quality. Or just look at the cybertruck with panels falling off or the stuck accelerator pedal issue.
You can use it with one of the fobs that has the remote start. There was a forum post about it. I'll see if I bookmarked it. Downside is that you lose the frunk opener.
Some dealers have been having a hard time getting the credit from the IRS (waiting months for payout even) and in the tax credit's last hurrah the delays have gotten worse. So some dealers have just not wanted to go through any of it thinking they'll never recoup that money.
I think you can...
It's all the crypto miners and AI data centers that are the largest reason for costs going up.
We're getting solar soon (fortunately my household doesn't need to rely on the tax credit to afford it). The costs are only going to get worse. And I say that while only paying about $0.18 per KWh...
Also got this update. My muscle memory always locks my truck when I exit even if the frunk is open so I'm glad I won't have to fumble for the keys just to close it anymore.
My 23 XLT 311A has never done this. Definitely a weird one. I can't remember if 311A was ever able to get bed scales though (maybe with towing options).
The stickers aren't my favorite, but it's good to see the Lightning in blue again!
Still probably would have gone with my '23 XLT given the choice, but pretty nice option for those that travel off road more.
I probably should have posted it in this thread but did you also pay for two years of registration fees? I'm mentioning because you cannot pay just for two years of RUC. Whatever you pay for your registration has to match your RUC. Otherwise they'll send your RUC payment back and ask for only...
I mentioned that is was from the wood fascia in a previous post. That was incorrect. In actuality the plastic triangular piece attached to the door near the mirror was the culprit. You can just pull on the triangle and reseat. It's been fixed ever since.
So got the update and... I'm noticing no obvious changes? What does this update even do? Disappointingly, the frunk does not close when the truck is locked unlike what the OP's update notes indicate.
Edit - Ah, didn't realize this update is completely different than OP's. My bad.
