  1. Towing With An Electric Truck - Is It Cheaper Than Gas? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 PowerBoost

    Look I don’t want to argue about it, I’ve seen the challenges of it first hand. Not to say it can’t be done or won’t be, just a challenge. Think about iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. Both have inductive charging, but only 12 has magnets that align it perfectly every time. It isn’t because it’s cool...
  2. Towing With An Electric Truck - Is It Cheaper Than Gas? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 PowerBoost

    See I thought someone was doing it lol. I know a little bit about this stuff, and it will be interesting to see it in action. Suffice to say it is extremely complicated.
  3. Towing With An Electric Truck - Is It Cheaper Than Gas? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 PowerBoost

    I think there would be some feedback/technical/safety issues to allow this type of charge while driving. Ultimately I think the future is wireless charging built into the road. I think there is talk of doing it or it’s actually being tested or done somewhere now. But until we can build a road...
  4. no SecuriAlert?

    Scheduling might help, but it would still annoy me even with the occasional late run to the store or something.

    Now if I could only get the app to say it’s at my house instead of the one next door…first world problems I guess lol
  6. Fordpass vehicle image

    Wild. So I logged out, removed app (iPhone), turned phone off and back on, downloaded app and logged back in and the lightning is gone! Shows my truck with the tow mirrors and everything, though the passenger side tow mirror seems to have a regular mirror superimposed over the top of it, but...
  7. Fordpass vehicle image

    So the fix is uninstalling and reinstalling the FordPass app?
  8. Adding Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 with Forscan?

    Gotcha. That was exactly my experience at lunch today. With just lane keeping on, it drifts until it sees the lane and bounces you back to center. It kinda centers it but eventually you drift to the other side or the same side and it does it again. When I had adaptive cruise active, it...
  9. Adding Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 with Forscan?

    I’ll have to play with it a bit this weekend. I probably turned the assist part of it off. I’m unclear if it works independent of adaptive cruise, but I know when I have both on, the truck pretty much drives itself, save for a steering wheel input to show you have your hands on the wheel. Of...
  10. Adding Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 with Forscan?

    I'm confused. I have a lane keeping button, is that the same as lane centering? I can turn this on independent of cruise iirc, and I can either have it shake the wheel or have to steer it back into the lane or both.
  11. no SecuriAlert?

    You're not missing much imo. I want to say that tbh, I wouldn't enable this feature unless I was going on vacation and letting my truck sit for a week or something. Thing is, I just went on vacation for a week, and I did not enable the feature. I tried it once and I found it more annoying...
  12. Pro Trailer Backup - yaw sensor kit? No one seems to know what this is.

    Funny, I had the stickers on my first trailer, again I still had problem with location, but I found myself never using the pro trailer thing and just doing it myself. I'm hoping the system, cameras, and the sensor have all stepped up some since 2018 and it will become useful to me. I didn't...
  13. Towing. COUGAR 31’

    I was on the fence about the superduty myself. It may be the next truck after this one, but It just wouldn't fit in my garage the way I wanted it equipped. We may be done with camping in a couple years anyways, and I don't plan on moving up from my current trailer, so if we keep camping, I...
  14. Pro Trailer Backup - yaw sensor kit? No one seems to know what this is.

    Oops, I forgot. The part number of the kit I bought on ebay was LC3T-14G621-AD. Hope that helps.
  15. Pro Trailer Backup - yaw sensor kit? No one seems to know what this is.

    This is pretty well documented on the forums, yet dealers aren't always in the "know" about it for some reason. Anyway, depending on when yours was built, you could have the kit or the stickers. Early built trucks came with the kit because software for sync 4 wasn't ready. Later built trucks...
  16. Towing. COUGAR 31’

    So just taking a look, that is a 35 ft trailer, not 31 foot. You did not specify which f150, but I don't think I would even attempt with the short wheel base. You would need the longer wheelbase for stability with that length of trailer. Even more, I would guess your looking at also bringing a...
  17. 3.5l Ecoboost first tow observations & concerns

    Now I’m not the authority on this so I’ll say that right out of the gate. However, on the vast majority of truck forums and trailering forums I have noticed a trend for mpg while towing. That trend is 9-12 mpg. Doesn’t matter if you have a light camper, heavy camper, 2.7, 3.5, 5.0, diesal...
  18. Eco coach reset itself?

    Interestingly enough, this morning, all 99. This afternoon, after I got on the gas to get on the xway…one of them dropped to 69…whatever the bottom one is. But that is what is was before…. lol DTE seems to be tracking pretty clearly to actual miles driven according to the odometer.
  19. Eco coach reset itself?

    So I noticed today that my eco coach was reading 99 across the board. I’ve never done anything with it or reset it. I thought it was maybe tied to the specific driving mode as I had switched to slippery, but when I went back to normal, it seemed to stay at 99. Any idea what happened? I know one...
  20. Any update on a Trailer TMPS system?

    I just wish I could get the numerical readouts enabled above the gauges. I have that exact cluster, it is also a 22 but have been told that it doesn't work? I have yet to fool with it, because I can't find my elm cable i bought like 3 years ago but never used..
