I don't have any experience with the GO Rhino or American Truck brands. I used AMP PowerSteps on my '23 Lariat, and have been very happy with them.

Your problem isn't the truck, it's the dealer.

Yes -- the engineering for a NACS extension cable is difficult and unforgiving, because we're talking about something that has to safely and reliably handle currents of about 500A. One approach would be to make a "cable" that contains 15+ pounds of copper and presumably comes with its own...

I feel it's a big miss on the part of Ford and Siemens that the Charge Station Pro doesn't support power management (both from a current sensor to avoid service/panel upgrades and from the utility to lower costs). It's doubly-odd because the FCSP does support a data link connection so that it...

OP's EX90 is a fully-electric vehicle with a J1772+CCS1 charge port, so it will accept the unmodified FCSP plug. Overall, OP's strategy does make sense because he has an otherwise-unused FCSP just lying around. I personally would not recommend the course of action you're contemplating. The...

Most jurisdictions don't allow multiple chargers on one circuit (it is allowed under the newest code, but most places haven't updated to that version of the code). My city doesn't allow multiple chargers on one circuit, either. So here's what my electrician did: First, we set the FCSP's...

All of the '22-'23 ER trucks originally came with a Ford Charge Station Pro. I have the Ford Charge Station Pro and operated it at full capacity (80A on a 100A circuit, 19.2kW charging) for about 11 months. I reduced the charge rate when my wife got a Mach-E so that we could install a second...

I have mine installed on the back of the house where I normally park the truck. I haven't had a problem and overall I think charge theft is rare. I have heard of something like two reports in the past couple of years of people stealing a charge from someone's home. That said, the most expedient...

I have a '23 Lariat, and my wife has osteoarthritis. Her reaction to the stock running boards was that she was certainly going to slip and fall at some point -- it was just a question of time. I got AMP Research PowerSteps installed after our first big trip in the truck, maybe a month after...

Yes -- I expect that the original poster has a '23 SR Pro and was verbally assured it would come with a charge station by the salesperson despite that not actually being the case.

Were you "promised" by the salesman verbally, or do you have it in writing as part of the sales paperwork? Unfortunately, car salesmen can and do lie, misrepresent, or just plain make up stuff they think you want to hear -- if it isn't in writing, it wasn't actually promised to you. Overall...

No, they didn't charge me for the BCM update because it was performed while trying to diagnose and fix a warranty issue. The original problem was that I was getting a restraints indicator lamp warning, with an on-screen error message indicating a fault in the driver's side-curtain airbag...

I think the Ford Mobile Charge Cord is the most-likely issue. Either get the dealer to replace it under warranty, or buy a new mobile charger (I personally use a J+ Booster 2). If the charger has been replaced and you're still showing a problem, check the outlet. If you did a DIY circuit...

This spring I got both BlueCruise 1.4 and walk-away locks on my '23 ER Lariat (coincidentally, also with Max Tow and aftermarket retractable running boards). The BlueCruise was an over-the-air update that arrived in late March. I got walk-away locks when the dealership updated my truck's BCM...

In my opinion, your issue is with the Ford Mobile Charge Cord. Ford uses a rebadged Webasto Go unit for their portable charger. It's serviceable and has both 5-15 Level 1 (120V 12A) and 14-50 (240V 30A) charging. However, it also has a reputation for being a bit sensitive -- if it sees a high...

I think Ford Performance had the same thought that you did. On the other hand, they have access to resources we don't. The result: two motors in the front, one in the rear, for a total of 1,600 horsepower and between 3,815 and 8,113 lb-ft of torque. The spoilers generate 6,000 lb of downforce...

Heh, true -- though a gap in the top of the gasket could let water in without having it leak out. I agree with the other posters, though: the most likely is either that water is getting in the back (if the electricians either didn't use or damaged the rear-entry fitting) or is getting into...

Properly installed, the FCSP is rated NEMA Type IV, "Waterproof": Suitable for indoor and outdoor use including construction sites, docks, and tunnels. Protects against the ingress of water including rain, sleet, and snow. Protects against the ingress of dust, falling dirt, and windblown dust...

Sorry, yes. -- these are gone.

T3 has not been shelved, just delayed: Ford was originally suggesting that the T3 would debut in the second half of 2025, and it is now delayed until 2026. Either way, the T3 is a model-year-2026 vehicle: it is just a question of when it will arrive during the model year. I agree with the...
