I had my GSM changed out twice under warranty in less than a year. Both times, it would get stuck in gear when trying to move back to park when the door was opened. That and it would not stow away when the button was pressed. The first time, it was replaced with the same GSM with the same...
If only we had this kind of efficiency. 10.3 mi/kwh over 2 miles! If that was the case all of the time, the range of my ER Lightning would be 1349 miles! IF ONLY!
Just got back from having my shifter replaced for the second time in 15 months. What I'm wondering is if Ford came out with a new revision of the GSM over the past year. I've noticed that the new shifter is much more smooth and much less "grindy" sounding that the first two I had. It's almost...
Below is the NHTSA chronology of events that have led to the harvest program. They are calling it a recall in their report. Looks like there have been 5 vehicle fires that may be related to a battery manufacturing defect that could be present in batteries built between Jan 2022 and April 2023...
The GOM gets more inaccurate the closer it is to 50%. It is more accurate to closer you get to 100% and 0%. For example, I've had the GOM say I have 130 miles of range at 50% when returning home. You would expect if I charge to 100%, it would say 260 miles but that's not the case. When I get...
There was a year where we had to rent a house while ours was being built. We went from two L2 chargers to two L1 chargers. We were able to survive just fine. Albeit, we had 2 Teslas at the time which were more efficient and had smaller batteries. Now we have an ER Lightning and an ER Mach-E...
My 2023 XLT has the powered tailgate. It is part of the 312A equipment group that was available on the XLT. Gave me all the goodies I wanted without having to get the leather seats, and annoying eye tracking of the Lariat while keeping the buttons and dials for radio and HVAC (which I wanted...
Keep in mind that the OP is towing a pop-up camper, not a 30ft 2 axel toy hauler. In my XLT ER, I get 1.7 m/kw on average pulling a hard sided Trailmanor pop-up camper which mirrors what others have seen towing popups. That gives a SR a 135ish mile range leaving a 20% charge buffer. An ER gets...
I almost certain that Ford EVs default to a 90% charge limit when you plug into a DCFC. It's the car that is stopping the charge at 90%. Once plugged in, you have to then go into the charging screen and manually move the slider above 90% if you need more than 90%. That's what I have done on the...
I have had the opposite experience. I've never had a charger stop at 90% if I set the charge level above 90% in the car's charging screen. Maybe Ford limits the one time charge to 90% by default but if I set the charge level to 100%, it charges to 100% at any charger I've used.
Just for clarification for the OP, this is not true. Just last weekend, I was charging immediately before picking up a camper and needed as much charge as possible to get home. I charged to 96% at a Supercharger before I had the leave to meet the seller. There may occasional restrictions at peak...
The most memorable vehicle my dad had was a 1979 F-150 Supercab. We called it the Farm Truck. 3 speed manual with the shifter in the column. Red with white side panels. My dad bought it used in 1987 and ran his landscaping side business from it (and this was back in the day when there weren't a...
I will be coming up to MD in mid-September and staying at Cunningham Falls State Park in Frederick. Your welcome to stop by if you want to make the drive up.
History...a few years back, I had a F150 with the 3.5 TT Ecoboost (Max Tow) and a 6500lb 26 ft. camper. Truck did well as a tow vehicle but my wife and I knew we wouldn't be camping much in the next few years (building a house, moving, etc) so we sold the camper and then the truck. Fast forward...
My number is 9487X and the website still does not say it shipped. You are the 2nd person I've seen that has a higher order number than mine that has received their adapter. Can Ford not count?
