I completely agree, it is ridiculous, but that is the reasoning behind it. At least from everything I have seen and heard. I remember reading somewhere, maybe motortrend or car and driver that if the manufacturers wanted to be able to have to set to last mode the vehicles would have to be tested...
yea, I realized after itās on there. What I meant to say was a way to remote start from the fob. I had been reading something about the frunk earlier and typed that instead of remote start
For those that mention having drive mode default to last used, I believe it is an EPA thing, just like it is ICE vehicles to maintain maintain the EPA rating. That is why engine start/stop always turns on as well as drive mode returns to normal.
Honestly, I the improvements Iād like to see is a...
Thanks mine is a ā23 with the powered tailgate. From the link posted above it seems the passenger side bracket is do the wires to pass through for the power tailgate.
Thanks I appreciate it! I will be honest, I did not do a search on here. One, I was not sure what to search for and two, it has been one of those days where everything and anything that could go wrong did.
Thanks, Its weird, I never noticed the holes before and they look to be threaded. Any idea what the bracket is for? I may try to run over to the dealership tomorrow and just see what the other F-150s there look like for comparison.
So I was backing out of my driveway today in my Mustang and as I got behind the lightning I noticed two holes underneath the tailgate on the drivers side that I swear were not there before. On the passenger side is there are two bolts and what looks to be a bracket. Did I loose something or are...
Last week I got the powertrain malfunction for my truck. I figure it is the gear shift module because it has made a clicking sound a few times after I have parked the truck and shut it off. They only way to get the clicking to stop has been to turn the truck back on and cycle from park to drive...
I havenāt received anything from Ford about being in the recall for the shifter. I may check on the rotary shifter, but honestly not a fan of the rotary. Donāt like the look of it.
So this is the second time in about 2 or 3 weeks where I have parked the truck, placed it into park, and shut the truck off and the shifter starts clicking. If I start the truck up it will stop the clicking stops, but then as soon as I shut the truck off again it will start clicking again. The...
I havenāt had that before. But today I was backing into a parking spot at the grocery store (Iām not usually that guy but I ordered the groceries and itās easier to back so they can be loaded in the frunk) and as I was backing up my camera went green, then black, a bunch of chimes went off, and...
If this new mid-size ev truck is a '28 than '27 will be the last model year for the Lightning. I am betting the Lightning will continue on without any updates and I bet we do not see any more updates either. The Mach-E will get a second gen, but only once this new platform is out and the...
I am not sure Jim Farely understands what a model T moment is. When we see actual products based on this platform, with a reasonable price, that will be the model T moment, not an announcement of we are gonna do a thing, to make a thing, that can make another thing, that we are hoping is gonna...
The Car & Driver article mentioned Farley saying that they would be discussing an EV platform, which I hope is true. It sounds like Ford is finally waking up to what GM is doing with the Ultium platform. And since Ford has had time to see what GM has done, maybe we see improvements over Ultium...
I agree with you, I would be pretty upset if I had just purchased that truck and it was having this many issues. Whether they are major issues or "minor" issues any problem with a new vehicle sucks. It would be understandable if you bought a 10 year old used truck with 100k miles on it, but it...
My '23 XLT ER does not have BC and I have not driven any vehicle with BC, but if the hands-on cruise with lane change, I forget what Ford calls it but its essentially BC I just have to keep my hands on the wheel is any indication of what BC is like I would not want it. I get a reminder about...
