I'm in a 23 Lariat ERI and was experimenting with the camera's the other day. I had some lumber in the truck and had to lower the tailgate and secure the 8ft long boards. I thought it would be cool (and it was) to have the rear camera show me the cargo in the bed. However once enabled It...
visiting Houston and staying just a few miles from Telsa showroom. saw 5 cybertrucks waiting to get washed before delivery to customers. It's every bit as ugly as the pictures show. Had a nice conversation with an elderly couple who had a reservation. He thought it was beautiful! Different...
to steal a line from Paul Harvey, regarding the string of articles about EV's sitting unsold on dealers lot, now the press is revealing that this is a trend for ALL cars, not just EV's.

Anti EV media/people are having a field day talking about Tesla's parked unable to charge. From what I can determine a single Tesla's bank of chargers in Oak Park, Il (Chicago area) had issues. A local media outlet found out and then when they reported on it, it spread like wildfire on the...
very interesting. perhaps Ford's version of a Chevy Avalanche?

tried to find a better place to post this but hope someone can help. I've been active on this forum for over a year. My list of "bookmarks" has gotten so large that most of the time I can't find the one I'm looking for. So the other day I started going through them and putting in labels as...
Have been on this forum since summer 2021. saw lots of talk about Forscan but now that I've had my lightning for a couple months I'd like to investigate Forscan. I was in with Compaq/HP for 25 years so I'm not a novice to computers both hardware and software (windows/android anyway) and now...
Got this email today. problem is 1) Although I did request at one time just to see what it was, however it wasn't on 12-11-2023 especially since today is 12-10! 2) the odometer reading is 1170. but my truck has 2,740 miles on it. Based on the odometer reading listed this report was...
Have had this show up twice in the past few weeks. I have schedule to take it to the dealer next week. no issues other than the warning saying schedule service soon. Could this be related to the BATTERY ENERGY CONTROL MODULE BECM SOFTWARE UPDATE?
Been watching posts about the latest power up software. Was excited when Ford Pass today had a message that my update was installed last night (Had my truck only 3 months). went out to the truck to see what messages were on the synch4 screen. it confirmed that I'd been updated to version...

My FCSP is outside but under cover in our car port. I'm trying to find a dust cap to cover the plug to keep out bugs and dust. Have searched online with no luck. Has anyone seen anything like that, or have an idea that would work better than the plastic bag and rubber band I'm using now.
After 2 months and about 1400 miles owning my Lariat ER, we decided it was time for a road trip. Just a 580 mile overnight jaunt to see fall colors in Northern Arkansas, but enough to require several chargings. Thoughts:
First, Arkansas particularly Northern Arkansas is a bit of a...
Got the letter to get my heated seats upgrade for no charge. Just in time for winter! But another welcome surprise was the new Ford Pickup and Delivery Service for no charge they picked up my Lariat at my home and returned it after the repair. Worked great!
while comparing the 2024 Lariat with my 2023, I noticed an oddity: The Ford website lists the Lariat as having a 12" screen. Also I discovered that my window sticker also shows it with a 12" screen. funny an error like that is still showing up on the web.
Had my truck for a couple weeks and LOVE IT!!!! but... I discovered that neither of the key blades from my remotes will unlock the door. They will lock the glove box, but don't work in the door. Anyone else encountered this?
had my truck a week and tried to activate "ford streaming" as it's free for 30 days. might as well check it out. Ford.com says "activation pending" and has been stuck there for at least 4 days. anyone know what's up with that? I'll probably call Ford tomorrow
