I don't hear the racket inside the cab nearly as much as outside, but yes, it is louder than any ICE I've had...yay! Now to figure out the intermittent low cooling issue. Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I saw a few mentions about the a/c system being noisy but I think mine, 2023 Lariat ER, is getting too loud. I've been getting intermittent cooling issues lately too so I may be listening too hard. Attached are some sound bites.
I ran a large LG frig, a medium Fridgidare fridge and a Frigidaire freezer along with a bunch of small items (lights, etc.) for 4 24 hour days after Hurricane Helene. I used 7% battery a day.
Well, I just found a dead dried up mouse in a tote I keep in my frunk... I wondered if I had a "hole" and nobody else did. Not many mentions of funk mice on the forum (well this is the only mention I found anyway).
No heat pump here (2023). My feet and legs are constantly cold. I do the trick (turn off auto, move vent to lower and crank the temps high and higher). I actually have better luck hitting the "max" non-button. Even so, it's not optimal.
After several electrical issues on my 2023 the first year (rain sensor, USB ports wire harness, brake controller...) on my 2023 I decided to go the Granger Ford route.
I'm leaning towards a Scout Terra. Timing would be good (2027 target) but the Lightning has devalued so much maybe I keep it and go with the Scout Traveler. Dunno--the Lightning is a great truck. I'm concerned with electronics more than drive train items like batteries. This happened yesterday...
A 220V extension cord that pulls off the 110V arms. That way I only had one cord into the house and then used 110 extensions in the house. My plan is to never need that option again. I am installing a generator transfer switch...someday...
I finished a trip towing a trailer down a 13 mile downhill stretch (a 2600 ft change in elevation) and I used regenerative braking almost the entire time. Does that engage the trailer brake controller? The brake lights comes on so I eventually just turned the gain way down just in case.
Here's today's adventure. I prelude with my angst towing some agriculture and household needs to Avery County, NC--another hard-hit area of NC. The trip is only 36 miles or so but 13 of it gains 2600 ft elevation. Well, my concerns were unfounded. I charged to 100%. Towed about 6000 pounds and...
