No, it's like saying "pay attention to the gas gauge, not the 'miles to empty' estimate that most cars have on the dash nowadays." It is based on actual driving. But keep in mind that EV efficiency can vary a lot more than ICE car efficiency depending on driving conditions and use, and a large...

100% agree. I bought my truck last year and I had no problem getting the credit when I filed my 2024 taxes. I've been telling people that if they don't get the POS credit do NOT leave without that form. Do not trust the dealer to do it within the next three days (as required). I've seen too...

My dealer wouldn't do the POS credit, but I wouldn't leave until I had IRS Form 15400 in my hand proving the sale was properly reported for me to get my credit when I filed (which I did successfully). I didn't even have to push for it, I may have mentioned the credit to them, but the manager...

If your meddling causes a failure, warranty won't cover it. The dealer has the burden to prove it, but I've heard that sometimes it's turned into a disagreement. If you fry something when installing the sensor, or brick the truck using Forscan, yeah, warranty won't cover it. But if there is...

Try opening the Ford app on your phone immediately before you approach the truck to see if that makes a difference. Also try approaching the passenger side. But that does raise a question, is the phone sensor in each door, or it is a central sensor? For me welcome lights are hit or miss with...

Does anyone know if Ford reports all buybacks to Carfax and/or Autocheck, including ones that weren't done under formal lemon laws (which would brand the title)? If the truck is for sale at a Ford dealer you can ask them if it was a buyback. I don't know how much you can trust them unless you...

The fact that the Ford nav won't auto-route you to Tesla chargers is a deal killer for me. I have Apple Maps set to only route me to Tesla. They are reliable and rarely are full. If for some reason they are too far out of the way I'll look for something else. The Ford nav would be great if I...

My truck sat for two weeks without being driven, not on a charger, and the first day I drove it two days ago I got the update.

Just to clarify the private offer is not for the trade-in, it's a discount on the new car. In my case it was $2k off the price of the new Bronco, taken off the bottom line. It's "private" in that it's only offered to targeted customers.

I recently went to Ford's site to shop for a Bronco and browsing around the Bronco pages, build configurator, and inventory search at some point I got a pop-up to enter my info for a private offer. Once you submit your information it's in their system under your name and email address and the...

I have a 22 and yesterday I got the update with WAL in the description. Not sure why they would update the language on for 23s, but this is Ford we're talking about. Not sure if it matters but I drove my truck yesterday for the first time in two weeks. Maybe the original one had been queued...

I wonder if trucks prior to the listed build dates have the same OE shifter part, or if shifters installed in the listed trucks are different (either part revision or they discovered a bad part run). This reminds me of a GM car I had back in the day. It was a 2002, and they recalled 2003-4...

I bought my mannequin in 2024. Warranty starts when it is put in service. That's when it's sold/registered, or when it becomes a dealer demo. In my case it only had 14 months of warranty left. I bought a PremiumCare Ford warranty before the 3/36 ran out. Also my truck was never registered...

I have read that Ford updated the shifter part to address the common failures. I'd definitely say have it replaced since it's likely the updated part that (hopefully) will prevent a future failure (fingers crossed). You may want to ask the dealer if they can verify that the part number is a...

Is there a transcript so I don't have to watch a video? Care to share a TLDW?

I thought I read somewhere that the shifter is on backorder because it is getting redesigned to address the failures. Don't quote me on that.

Just like ICE vehicles, the advertised range/mpg is based on certain, ideal conditions. You can get 320 miles if your driving habits (speed, acceleration, etc.) and conditions (weather, etc.) are just right. Drive it like a bat out of hell 80mph on the highway in 0F temps with a headwind and...

I recently took my truck in for a software CSP. When I dropped it off I was talking to the service advisor and she showed me her screen that had all the diagnostic information from my truck in real time. I think the truck is always sending data to the cloud. I was amazed at what they could...

Mine is also 4/7/22! Our trucks were assembly line buddies. Mine was a dealer demo.

My guess is the high voltage battery fuse blew. The "exit vehicle safely" message likely means that the truck detected a fault that could result in a battery fire. It would be something fairly serious, like a short circuit or the beginning of a thermal runaway. It may be that a short caused...
