In the software update section where you set the schedule, there is a check for updates now. You can't force it to download updates or anything like that. And much of the battle is still hoping the Ford OTA system makes updates available for you. Mine is set to check daily at 1AM but it seems...
The truck seems to not use WiFi for general OTA updates and communication and this is most likely why I so rarely get updates. Cell service is spotty at my place and there is effectively no signal in my garage or driveway. A blip of signal here or there and sometimes a weak connection might...
Get the 2024. The '25s actually reduce the size of the ER battery pack in a couple trim configurations and they have fewer colors to pick from. And yeah, they have some good incentives right now and 0% financing on the '24s.
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that isn't it.
We've tried everything we can think of and we're completely stumped. It's not a critical issue, my son and I both have passwords that work and my wife knows them in the off chance that she needs a passcode. I've only used mine...
So my wife got a new phone (iPhone 16 Pro). Removed her old phone and PAAK / passcode from her profile. Added new phone and PAAK works just fine. It will not let her set a new startup passcode. We input the new passcode, and again to confirm it. Then it gives an error saying that it failed...
Falken Wildpeak AT3’s are excellent all-around light AT tires. They handle everything but ice and if it’s that bad you either stay home or cable up. Have and did have the Wildpeaks on two Bronco Sports, a 4Runner and a Ranger. Have not looked to see if they make any suitable for the...
I’ve had the Hankook Dynapro AT2s on another truck and their Dynapro AS on my Expedition. Both were terrible, even dangerous. Got rid of them early on both vehicles. My Lightning came with the General Grabbers. The Grabbers are decent, actually handle snow and wet very well, but are...
As of last October, Tesla was still selling the 2nd-generation Tesla Wall Connector through their commercial sales and I believe they still do. The 2nd-gen is/ was their recommended unit for commercial destination chargers and you can share up to 5 of them on a single 100A circuit. The new...
The top brass at Ford doesn’t understand EVs or their customers. Farley seems like he’s starting to maybe get it, at least a little bit. I appreciate that he got the industry to make a commitment to NACS and kick off the opening of the Tesla network. I know when he drove that Xiaomi EV for a...
Most all dashcams out there use WiFi to connect. It’s how you set them up and then access the recordings. Or you pull the SD card and review on a computer. But it doesn’t need to connect to your phone or anything unless you want to access the camera. I’m hoping we see other connectivity...
I look forward to this update sometime later next year when my truck will be able to download it…. Then we’ll see if it’s willing to actually install it.
Ford is so sloppy with the new order guides for 2025. The Mach-E order guide is a mess, The Lightning one too and the Bronco one, ugh... More Ford cost-cutting, they obviously got rid of whoever would proof read or edit these.
I'm assuming the Lariat keeps the 131kWh battery... It seems that...
I would definitely have the dealership address it under warranty. Some of those fittings are not super easy to get to anyway. But the best reason to have an issue like this fixed and documented under warranty is so if it becomes an recurring problem, you still have a chance of getting it...
Hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like some stragglers that when they pulled the masking, they stayed attached to the rest of the Berliner and not the tape. It shouldn't keep peeling, but if it does, it would almost certainly be a warranty fix. This liner is the ToughBed factory...
Farley has already said they're pursuing EREV. He doesn't feel that current EV tech is good enough for trucks and cited the Lightning as an example. What this tells me is that their T3 project is falling short of expectations, they probably can't overcome the battery density issue and a 500+...
Not a fan at all of this or the apparently upcoming Ford EREV, which are just another way to market hybrids. 50% BEV, 50% ICE, 100% compromise.
IMO, they should just keep existing ICE platforms and not pursue this garbage until it makes sense to place BEV into certain pains of vehicles...
So how many of you have a FitCamX that has died? Mine just stopped working, not exactly sure when. But I try to check it with my phone every week or two. And as also reported in this thread, it would lose date and time often. It’s been dead for a bit now and I’ve been contemplating ordering...
Tesla's navigation is just Google Maps. So you don't need to buy into the hype over how great Tesla nav is... But on the other hand, having a fully-functional Google Maps directly integrated and not running through an interface layer like CarPlay or Android Auto is a big deal. If you run...
Yep. Only take a fob with me on road trips, just in preparation of a worst-case scenario. Otherwise my phone works fine. I use my door keycode here and there anyway and I've used the passcode to drive twice -- once to test it after setting it up. And once when I went to move the truck when I...
