What features do YOU hope get added in a future S/W update?

[Farmford42]

Big up vote for pro power when the truck is off.
I want a gate / garage mode so I can drive the truck through a gate and then close if without getting back in. I also would love a follow me mode so when I walk a fence or build fence the truck would just keep up or a set path that can be mapped to drive.
I would like to have one pedal available in all modes since I use it al the time as well as a low speed mode that I can tune for my mud and dirt.
Car play integration to the truck power system so it knows the battery state and can do trip /charge planning.

i would love to also see a charging port in the back of the truck since I back in if I don’t have a trailer on.

For all those requesting Dog/Pet Mode, the good news is Ford has already stated that is coming out in a future update!

A year later, and we are still waiting. ?

I did say future update. I'm hoping 2026. ?

Dog Mode. PLEASE.

Can’t this effectively be done as a work around now?
turn truck on, set temp.
exit truck, take key, lock truck. Optionally turn headlights to off position,
‘truck can’t be put into drive without key present.


even if you have pet mode leave home made sign on dash the interior is climate controlled.
please so not break windows.

It's not that simple. Yes it can be done (and I've done it many times.) But you've left out some key steps (like deactivating the "auto turn off in 30 minutes" setting.) I've documented the precise steps earlier on this site (last summer.)

These may have already been stated here but I have 2 big ones:

1.) Exterior frunk button closes frunk even when truck is locked.
2.) Automated carwash mode.

I have an XLT that I typically lock when I get out of the truck. If I've opened the frunk to grab something I have to use my key fob to close it. Or I don't lock when I get out, can use the button, and either have to go back to the door or use my fob to lock. Drives me a little batty.

I know a lot of people are anti-automated car wash, but the aphids this year have been terrible and I pay $7 a month to run through a Moo automated wash multiple times a week. I'd like to be able to hit a button to turn off the cameras and alerts while I'm being pulled through.

Aside from those I just wish the Fordpass app was more robust. We also have a Kia Niro EV and the app for that car has significantly more features and fine tuning.

Is the Auto Turnoff feature, the same feature as Vehicle Power Down Timer? I've read on this site where someone said that you can select different times in which you want it to turn off. The only option is 30 minute Power Down Timer and that does not give me time increment options. Ford should give 1, 2, 4, 8 or more hour options to power down, imo.

Yes, you are right, it's the "Vehicle Power Down Timer". And, yes, it only gives the 30 minute option (which is actually not an "option" -- the truck WILL shut down in 30 minutes unless you toggle it so that the truck will not shut down at all.

I've only been through an automated wash once with the truck, I didn't get all the alerts. I figured those where disabled since I put it in neutral.

Hottest time of the year, where is the dog mode? How tough can that be? No choice but to leave the truck on and locked, but far from ideal.

KWH Remaining in the pack on display! Unless someone does it a different way, you have to take your pack KWh and multiply it by whatever battery percentage you currently have then have to multiply that by whatever your current range is. It would be much easier to say I currently have 50 KWH left in the pack and I'm getting 2.0 Miles per KWH, So that 100 Miles of range.

I would like to be able to change what the Display Knob controls by pressing a direction ,rather than having to select the temp or fan or seats to change it from volume. Should be able to press, say the left side of the knob for Temp, then Right for Fan, Bottom for Seats, Top for whatever else.

Bringing this one back to life, don't know if it's been mentioned but a future update I'd like to see is having the 360 cameras used as dash/security cams that we could record to a thumb drive. Tesla does it and I'd be willing to bet all it would take is a few lines of code to make it happen,

Optimize the UI so it's not as miserably laggy.

Disable the 6 minute power down of PPO when "keep on when vehicle is off" is enabled.

Allow showing all charging stations and tapping them to get more info like Tesla UI.

Disable automatically switching from sport mode to normal mode on startup.
