I have found that looking at wind direction projections for my trailer trips helps a lot. “Windy” is a good app showing directional and velocity data. I’ve made trips with a tail wind in both directions. VERY helpful. Wind is THE trailering handicap. Aerodynamics too, but you’ve chosen your...
My iPhone 15 pro and ‘23 ER Lariat don’t communicate about 25% of the time. Almost always when I’m trying to listen to something important but all I can get is iPhone speakers. And, yes, this same pairing fails about 25% of the time just trying to use my phone to lock, cabin climate prep, or...
75,000 miles on my ‘23 Lariat ER pulling a bunch of trailers.
All my driving is one pedal. Love it.
I think I’m smarter than the truck when it comes to anticipating what’s ahead. Otherwise I think it’s tuning is perfect for me.
72,000 mostly DCFC miles and maybe 1/3 pulling a trailer. I saw 194 kW recently but since mid Jan have noticed the improvement. All my trips are 900-1,200 miles one way usually CA tip to tip. A dozen trips to Salmon, ID. One RT L.A. to Boston to bring back a boat.
Heading Vegas area for a week tomorrow.
Always hypermiling - not 70-75. Have built a round styrofoam full nose cone and that didn’t help. Moving to tail wind management next. Weight might be an issue in two weeks when I put a jeep in a 14k (capacity) dump trailer and tow it from OR to Borrego...
I have 70k miles living out of my ‘23 ER Lariat here in Borrego Springs for now. Unfortunately I pull a 6.5x6.5x12’ v/nose cargo trailer to live in. 1.0 m/kWh from about 2.1 without.
Would love to trade notes sometime.
If you find a Ford dealer with even decent EV service, let me know. None in CA that I have experienced. None in Southern Oregon either. Bought mine in Los Angeles.
By far, the worst treatment I have received just trying to keep the warranty happy. I can’t get 10k mile services. I’ve been unable...
Samesies. March 2 ordered. No word from Frod. 65,000 miles since April ‘23. Regular, long, and horrible trips relying on EA. Next one starts the 15th. I pull a trailer and get 1 m/kWh. So I try to get 80 or so miles between 30 minute charges. It takes 28 hours to travel what always took 14...
Ordered March 02. Have been told mine would ship ‘this month’ three (?) months in a Fg row. I’ve done twenty! 2,500! Mile trips since April ‘23. One trip from L.A. to Boston, MA, to bring a boat back to L.A.
Being told I’ll get my adapter is just acid on a wound.
