ABRP is best when used just as a planning tool for long road trips. If it chooses routes that I know are suboptimal, I'll use guidepoints to force it down the road I want. I've found its model for temp/windspeed/elevation change to be pretty darn accurate for the truck. I don't have the dongle...
One last thing from me as a firefighter who has had to extinguish several ICE fires. (BTW, I always comment how these gascars seem to always catch fire). If there is a full tank of gas, and it ruptures (as it usually does), we basically have to wait until it all burns off before we can truly...
Firefighter here. First off, ^^^^^^, this.
Second, GET OUT! DO NOT GO BACK IN. Even with firefighting gear, we would never risk a human life to do this.
Third, garages up to code have a burn-through time. Usually on the order of 20 mins to 1 hr. We can often save the rest of the house if...
Mine hasn't peeled, but got small, circular chips from about mile 500 (I have 90k, now). It's obviously a terrible coating for a grill, and it's a shame that Ford won't make this right with a CSP. I'd rather have the non-platinum grill to this. My local line-x shop wouldn't even look at it for...
Almost certain that it occurs when the truck thinks you're towing and the road in its database has some kind of weight limit. Given the glitchyness of ford software. This happens sometimes when you aren't towing.
Two things. I've bookmarked this for when people mention EV fires:
And secondly, I'm a (small, rural, but with 15 miles of interstate highway) firefighter and I've put out many ICE car fires and have yet to see an EV fire. (Every time I remark how these gas car always catch on fire...no one...
My platinum has had small chips (probably averaging around 2mm) from about mile 500, but nothing like this. I now have almost 90k miles so I'm well out of warranty. I would really like to see a CSP to replace these grills. After all, platinum was a nearly $100k vehicle. I expected a much higher...
I have 76k miles on my lightning including many long road trips and even pulling a teardrop camper from Southern Illinois through the UP of Michigan for 2 weeks. I use ABRP (pro) exclusively when planning long routes. I don't use the dongle. I have it configured so it is slightly conservative...
Best vehicle I've ever owned. (I have 74k miles on my '23 Platinum). As I was putting >$35 of fuel into my son's puny Honda Civic, I realized that filling my monster truck at home costs me ~$13 for the same distance...
When they updated the app to the 5.x series they rewrote it and dropped several extremely useful features that they have not added back in. The video, I'm sure, uses the older app. It had remote zone lighting controls, remote pro-power onboard controls, etc. It was a great loss that has not been...
I believe it has always been this way. It's how I power a teardrop camper overnight. But you don't have to have a load on the outlets for it to stay on.
