  1. Ford's going to lose me with not showing me state of charge %

    So you’re mad at Ford for not getting an update to you for SOC on a specific screen. I’ve never seen an ICE vehicle show % of gas tank on the fuel gauge. I also see people upset on here because the calculated range doesn’t match EPA rating. I don’t ever recall an ICE person complain about...
  2. FordPass App has been Neutered

    I miss test trailer lighting after hookup. Could stand behind trailer start it in the app and make sure all the lights were working. Now back to the old way.
  3. I could/should have functioning AM radio!? {Fix post 19}

    Someone else posted last night in ā€œAM Radio Updateā€ that they discovered AM is an option under Audio on the driver’s display screen. Just checked on mine and it’s there. You can let your wife out of the doghouse now. lol.
  4. I could/should have functioning AM radio!? {Fix post 19}

    After the 23-PU0110-RAD-PS update this week on my ā€˜23 Lariet, the radio was also on a working AM station when I started the truck. Fortunately I saved the station as a preset. From there I can tune to other AM stations which I’ve saved as presets. FM and SiriusXM are still the only choices at...
  5. Trailer Brake System Fault

    I got a fault after I washed the connector to get the gravel road dust and grit out of it before plugging in trailer. Dried it out and fault went away.
  6. Weight limit roads / bridges are exceeded by our Lightnings - how will these EV trucks handle restrictions ?

    Iowa DOT rules state for a sign like that: ā€œRegardless of how much of the total weight of the vehicle is actually on the bridge, the gross weight of the entire vehicle must be equal to or less than the limit on the sign.ā€ if it is an axle limit, the sign must say ā€œAxle weight limit ā€œ or have...
  7. Ford App Attempted to Reroute to Distant Charging Stations When Home was Closer w/o a Charge

    Yes. I’ve been a Waze user for years. I’ll have to look into it closer. I did read and notice that Apple Maps displays on driver’s screen now. Does it read SOC and schedule chargers too? I read that it wouldn’t precondition battery.
  8. Ford App Attempted to Reroute to Distant Charging Stations When Home was Closer w/o a Charge

    I had a similar experience Thursday night. 70 minute drive home from Des Moines by I-80. Left with 39% and I estimated would get home with 10-12%. Nav wanted me to stop at a fast charger for 15 minutes just before leaving the city. I passed that one and after awhile it picked the next one which...
  9. Rear wheel Spats/front side guards

    I live on a gravel road. Had 2ā€ā€™rain yesterday so got the usual muck. I’ve installed the Lightning mud guards on front and back wheels. Does anyone know of a source for the guard that goes in front of the rear wheel to protect my power running boards and even paint from rock chips and muck being...
  10. Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! šŸ“ø

    First towing since got truck in August. Did a nice job and smoother tow than my GMC 2500HD. I now see the complaint about Full view not available in the middle of the image
  11. 2,500 Mile Trip Report in a Lariat ER - Texas to Colorado

    Wsl346 - You’ve inspired me. I’m taking early retirement in January and have been thinking about a trip in February/March to celebrate - was between visiting Hawaii again or fly down to Arizona which would be mostly new and have some family to visit. Your trip must been stewing in the back of my...
  12. Heated Steering Wheel Retrofit PU-22G06

    I got the CSP 22G06 notice in my FordPass. My Lariat has the heated steering wheel and I turned it on and confirmed it’s working. So not sure what the performance upgrade is about.
  13. NH EV fee

    Just bought and registered my Lariat ER in Iowa. My guess is they mean gross vehicle weight which is 6600 lbs and not GVWR (max weight rating of vehicle plus cargo) which is 8400 lbs for my Lariat. My vehicle weight is 6600 pounds according to my registration. Iowaā€˜s registration as a...
  14. Can't create a second personal profile

    I had same issue yesterday setting up my wife’s key and phone. Looked like it took driver 2 but wouldn’t go on. I was trying to do it while it was charging and the truck was in the accessory mode. Today I tried it again after I unplugged the charger. The profile I started yesterday was gone...
  15. Took delivery today of Lariat Er with rear light bar recall hold!!

    In July just after the price drop I started looking at the Ford website build tool at an XLT ER with all the tow packages. The available inventory showed a similar Lariat ER for $4800 more on a dealer lot about 1 hour away. It was an abandoned customer Special Order. I called and went the next...
  16. F-150 aerodynamics modeling

    My wife's 2023 Traverse has the HD Vision which includes the rearview mirror that you can toggle between the actual mirror or an embedded screen showing the rear camera. The camera view is nice since its from the rear of the vehicle so no blockage by passengers or if your back area is full or...
  17. Utah to require GPS tracking for EVs...

    Iowa is double dipping starting this summer. 3 years ago they imposed an additional annual registration fee of $130/BEV and $65/PHEV to cover road tax for the "typical" vehicle. Must have realized that many drive through Iowa on I80 and I35 so starting July 1, there is an additional, new 2.6...
  18. 2,500 Mile Trip Report in a Lariat ER - Texas to Colorado

    Thanks for the detailed trip report. Like to see the truck in action and how it went. Kudos for traveling with a 5 month old - need the extra stops! My family (kids and grandkids) traveled to CO from IA last March for 1 week ski trip. 10 of us in 2 Traverses including a 3 and 1 yo (1700...
  19. Is BlueCruise included with Lariat?

    Avalanche. My new favorite color. Hope it stays clean looking living on a gravel road.
  20. Is BlueCruise included with Lariat?

    Yep. Enjoyed sitting in it. As long as it’s by the end of year so I can claim my tax credit this year. Dealer hopes Ford prioritizes sold vehicles on lots since it prevents Ford from getting paid on the vehicle. He said past recall holds have gone faster once a name is attached to the vehicle.
