Whole lotta nothing. Guess I'll be holding onto mine instead of bumping up into the Lariat unless there is some sort of unknown exterior refresh.

Looks like the Avalanche paint color got the axe. Wow. That seemed to be a really popular color.

@TaxmanHog - any word if the Order Guide he refers to will be posted? The ICE forum posted one for the 2025 ICE.

Seems like the 2024s was a fairly short production run?

Biggest take aways that I saw

1. NACS adapter included with mobile charger if ordered. So you have to order the mobile charger as an option if you want a NACS adapter at delivery with the truck.

2. Spare wheel and tire is now an option. If you don't order that option you get an inflator in the front.

3. 90 Day trail for blue cruise flash and lariat, 1 year free for platinum.

And looks like updated Co-Pilot 360 features.

Hopefully @Administrator will have a copy and make a thread for it in the near future.

The adapter for use with the Mobile Charger is not the one that is used at SuperChargers.

The adapter for use with the Mobile Charger is not the one that is used at SuperChargers.

The order guide called it the "fast charging adaptor", so I interpret that to mean they bundled it with the mobile cord. Not that they are putting in an AC adaptor for use with it.

 

[John Becker]

Sorry about that. The video I watched had the Lightning logo but was all about ICE. I thought this was the same video.

Right, the adapter they are referring to in the order guide is the NACS adapter that we currently use at tesla superchargers.

 

[jetfixr1]

No way I would rely on an inflator kit and sealant for tire damage on a vehicle that weighs this much. It's just asking for an accident to happen. I used to have one on my Camaro, and was fine without having a spare. But it's not like the extra weight of the spare decreases efficiency.

Also, the locking rear diff should not be included in the tow package. The vehicle is AWD and should come with locking diff as a standard, since you shouldn't be towing a trailer off-road where the locking diff is needed. Another cost cutting move by Ford.

Yeah, it just seems odd that they would bundle two things that don’t work together. Force people to buy the FMC when they only want the adapter.
