That's what I do (italics are mine) on every long trip. it saves a good penny.

As per my OP post, it's a great teenager pacifier for a month's price :crackup:

It's one of the Premium Connectivity features (I think there might be more items under the PREMIUM label, for example maybe NAV updates, ALEXA etc.). On the Ford end, it costs $15/month after the WIFI trial period ends. It's accessible thru FordPass as well as thru the web Ford account. It...

Of course... I added this thread to note for our members that the Ford / ATT wifi works when there is zero cell phone coverage of any cell network for dozens of miles. Zero cell phone coverage = no cell hotspots either. I have frankly no idea how they make it work in such remote spots, yet it...

I have T-Mobile 5G and the nephew has some European network (maybe Orange?). The point of my post is that we were so far out in the boonies, without the Ford/ATT hotspot we would have had nothing. And yet, with the Ford/ATT hotspot we were completely connected.

Haha indeed it was. Nothing two men can't handle, eh? A great place even with the Arctic blasts, especially because of the awesome friendly nature of Newfoundlanders. "No moose or caribou were harmed in the execution of this trip." :wink: Here's the write-up. Enjoy...

Folks, I had forgotten to add this point to our review of our Newfoundland Canada road trip this past December / January. I have used the Ford OEM ATT vehicle hotspot all across North America, coast - to - coast, in our now-gone Mach E and now in our Lightning. After running out the free...

I'll agree. The once or thrice we used EC in the Atlantic Maritime provinces this past December & January on our Newfoundland trip, EC always reliably worked.

Sorry about that. Since their new svelte charging stations came in, they seem to work pretty reliably, almost all the time. Maybe this is somehow regional? No company that spans the continent is a true monolith...?

Electrify America was indeed pretty bad back in 2022 - 23. I find its network much improved, even pretty good these days.

I now wonder and hope about the updated Sync version for us with the 12-inch screens.

This is the Houdini lock lubricant I use, per recommendation of a really good local locksmith. It's better than big box and auto shop lock lubricants... it unfroze our frozen & full of very fine Canadian road sand locks on the teardrop during our December adventures in Newfoundland Canada...

Uuuuu... a new APIM, eh? yum yum yum.

Haha I do the same thing.

Here are the Ford OEM 9 pages of instructions.

Sure. I have some Ford tech manual pages on disassembly / reassembly of the front and the rear. Unfortunately my old laptop broke but I still have the paper versions. I'll dig them up, scan and attach them tomorrow. What you need to get from the Ford dealership ahead of the job: - for the...

Some folks are trained Army Armor tankers who have seen hydraulics fail and crush men. Like, that 1.5 ton cannon which looks very reliably sturdy until its hydraulics give out.

Yes. I have four RUD chains. They stow behind the rear left seat back. I've used RUD chains for years on many cars. On my Lightning (OEM size tires) I use this model, cut & pasted from the RUD USA dealer: "For your tire size – 275/60R20, you would need part #2532 – Grip 4x4. For a pair...

I change my all-season and Winter tires myself as well. The trick I've found to line up the wheel studs to the heavy wheel is to lower the jack height just enough so that the heavy wheel barely touches the ground, and then to rotate it onto the top wheel stud, while its weight is supported in...

I would never trust a bottle jack while my body parts are under a heavy vehicle. Hydraulics can and do fail without warning. "It only takes one time"...
