Folks, I just saw this in the paper (the Washington Post) today. Lead paragraph is quoted below. "The House Transportation Committee advanced a measure last week that would slap EV owners with what would become an annual $150 flat fee. Plug-in hybrids would wind up paying $50 a year. States...

A fob = an old-school, fail-safe method. In the pocket, in a Faraday bag, somewhere... anywhere on the truck. "Have fob, no problems".

A great EV tech is worth just so much!

For what it's worth: - I have found over many miles in all kinds of weather that the rear camera lens does get dirty quickly, and especially on snowy or rainy days. It might have something to do with the rolling air turbulence right behind the tailgate which will transport crud onto the rear...

Some years ago Sonny Boy and I went up Pike's Peak in Colorado in his former 2013 Ford Fusion Energi, a plug-in hybrid. On the way back down, the IPC showed a traction battery range of 36 miles, which greatly excited Sonny Boy. That fantastic range was of course an impossibility, as that car...

I'm a big Dometic fan.

Not a Ford tech nor a Dealership Advisor but just a customer like so many here... I have switched dealerships in the past when I sensed "games". Life has attuned my spidey-sense antennas to this. I'm sure most of us feel this way. What I also noticed is that a great dealer service department...

For what it's worth, I am a huge fan of the Decked Drawers 2nd Gen setup. Apart from carrying tools, the Decked Drawers are also for carrying and storing camping and emergency tow gear securely on the truck at all times. This lets our little teardrop trailer be just a double bed instead of a...

Same here - on for over a year and for many many miles - no codes or glitches, ever.

You'll are making me think.

Uuuuu! I'd love to attend along with the dog except it's a long way from Virginia :wink:🐶 Thanks Brian!

Good suggestions by locals, in the above posts. I'll add my general suggestions to help mitigate the OP's range anxiety: 1. Traction battery range is greatly dependent on: - the driver's lead foot, or lack of it. When in any doubt, SLOOOW DOWN including all the way to the next charging...

In my multiple cross-country and long distance trips, I've found EVGo to be one of the most bombastic, "we know better" charging networks. I appreciate the heads-up about the credit ("free" is a great price) yet I'll go to EVGo only if there aren't alternatives on my route.

...and my Mach E was indeed an early 2022 model. Thanks!

Hmmm... I seem to remember although it's been about two years now, that my Premium trim Mach E's 15-inch screen did have this feature as well. My memory might be in error here though... As the APIM is the APIM, it would seem that the toggle button should indeed be activatable through FORScan...

As I mentioned in my post above, while the glass replacement is easy to do it's even easier with two people, one on each side of the door. Good luck!

IMHO and from personal experience, using Winter tires is more about the cold temperatures and the much softer Winter tire compound that doesn't harden when it's cold (i.e. "a good grip" in icy conditions, even without any snow on the road) than about the relatively small risk of snow-digging.

I replaced a cracked front passenger door glass myself this Winter. 1. These door windows are double-pane glass, for better noise control. See the very top edges of the front door windows to confirm this on Your truck. This is why they are expensive. I used a Ford OEM window glass. 2...

Of course. See my the attached pix below.

I got the Walk-away Lock on my 2023 XLT when my dealership also updated the BCM for free, about 9 - 10 + months ago or so. FYI - my Lightning's Walk Away Lock functions well to lock, but about only 80% of the time. it seems to depend which door, and how many doors and accessory openings get...
