FordPass shows them as incomplete recalls. With the new fuel pump recall there isn’t a fix to be had yet. It doesn’t matter if it’s free but the truck is potentially dead in the dealership lot for months. Two perspective private buyers asked for the vin then mentioned the recalls and lost...

I’m going with what I know. For about five years (2016-2020) I was traveling for work and basically living on the road for 40+ weeks per year. I carried all my meals for the week in an ARB fridge with a second 12v battery added to the vehicle. It was a huge money saver and quality of life...

I have both of these showing up for mine as well. Ford’s recalls are really starting to annoy me. I have my ICE up for sale. I’ve had two prospective buyers and one dealer scared off by the fuel pump recall Ford recently announced for F-150’s, Expeditions, Broncos, some Lincoln models, etc...

I have an ARB 37 quart fridge I sometimes use in the frunk. On my last trip to VT I plugged the 110v cord into the outlets and connected the 12v leads to the micro 12v truck battery. The ARB will switch to AC automatically when available, then draw 12v when the truck is off. It worked fine...

The 17.1” height is about the same as my ARB 37 quart. I found it’s best to put something like a kneeling pad behind the fridge to push it forward so it clears the back of the frunk lid better.

I have a 37 quart ARB fridge that fits in the frunk. On my last trip to VT I connected the 12v to the small 12v battery (yes, on the outside of the current monitor) and plugged the 110V into the frunk power outlets. The fridge will use 110v when available and 12v other times. It worked fine...

There is zero chance that lack of full throttle on a regular basis will be the downfall of my batteries. My tires on the other hand…

Massachusetts is it’s own hellscape when it comes to insurance, plates, registration, etc. Basically there are no temporary plates, you need a stamped RTA form from the insurance company to get plates, if the dealer doesn’t have an RMV agent in house they have to send the paperwork to the RMV...

Good to know, I was unaware of the glitch. I plan on taking mine out on Nauset Beach soon.

You guys can afford to charge these trucks without full home solar? Eversource on Cape Cod is about 36 cents per kWh, I did their $700 rebate with a Tesla gen 3 wall connector but I’ve never heard of any rate discount with the charger logging the overnight usage. After my 2022 Lightning Pro SR...

The Tesla Universal Wall Connector has a 24’ cord, maybe that would be enough. Option B would be to buy two Tesla universal wall connectors that can share a single circuit. They network together and won’t draw too much amperage. You could add a run of cable from the first charger point to the...

If Ford kills the Lightning I won’t be getting another when my lease is up and will move on to something else. I leased it because it was very inexpensive and figuring there will be a “better” EV truck available in 2028, but now that is an uncertainty. With the current political climate I see...

I ended up installing just the front OEM flaps on mine. I have the rears in the box, but haven’t seen the need for them yet.

That is how trucks should look coming out of the factory.

The trucks with the 116 rated all season tires show 42 psi on the door sticker. During daily driving the all season and all terrain tire trucks weigh the same rolling down the road, so a 6 psi discrepancy is odd to me. Looking at your wear pattern the shoulder are worn out while the centers...

I’ve had 5 sets of Hankook tires on different vehicles. They are round, black, and roll. In my experience the ride is noisier and harsher than something like a Michelin or Pirelli, they get noticeably worse as they wear. Obviously my sample size isn’t that large, but Hankook will not be on my...

How are the EA chargers in Payson? I remember when they installed the Tesla chargers across from the Chevy dealership years ago. I haven’t been satisfied with the ones in MA, so I only use the Tesla chargers with the $12.99 per month membership added a month at a time when I have trips planned.

I ran into the same issue on my 2021 Bronco, the stock tires were rated for 35 psi but the door sticker calls for 39 psi. I run those at 36 psi.

Load index 116 is for 2756 pounds, so putting the Toyos at 48 psi cold seems on the high side for a 7062 pound vehicle. I think the stock psi for the 20” on the Rivian is 44, I’d be inclined to test the Toyos there and see how they perform. I increased the pressure on my 115 rated stock AT...

I’ve made the drive from Flagstaff to Tucson approximately 784 times in ICE vehicles. I always got good efficiency on the Flag to Phx run, average on the flat to Tucson, and poor on the way back up the hill as I was usually setting cruise at 79 mph. I could see the regen being great on the...
