I hear you about the dealers! I watched about 25 dealers all over Central California, negotiated with several, and ended up buying one in San Jose (pretty far from home). Reading posts where people said they got thousands off sticker encouraged me to hold out for a good deal (about 5K off...

Happy to (try to) help. Sounds as if you have a really cool place and do cool things. Most North American 240V chargers, though not all, use NEMA 14-50 plugs. I have one that uses a NEMA 10-30 but only for compatibility with a relative's old house. If a car or truck is charging in a shop...

I don't think those are stupid questions; they're good ones to ask before making the decision. Stupid would be buying something, or rejecting it outright, without asking these questions. > Also do they only come in 5.5' box, not longer? Unfortunately that's the only option right now. > Lariat...

#16567 has just shown up today. The status message on Ford's website still says "currently in production." Well, they haven't over-promised in this case.

Another happy customer here. My XLT Short Range isn't perfect (what is?), but it's been awfully good so far, and I'm happy to have bought it. Short range is viable here in California, especially if you can get the dealer to throw in a NACS (Tesla style) adapter. Long range will probably be...

I wonder how much the truck is creeping above the desired speed when going downhill? If I set a cruise to 60, I expect it may sometimes allow the truck to go 62 or 63 on a fairly steep hill. If you're asking for 60 and getting a sustained 65-70 (and not on a ski slope), maybe something needs...

Thanks, @Firn, for describing the difference in a clear way as the marketing division of Sirius Cybernetics FoMoCo ought to have.

Found this thread while looking for answers to the question, "Why is the lane keeping on my new 2024 XLT almost completely (and dangerously) useless when our 2021 Mach-E's lane keeping works well?" I think I've fallen prey to poorly calibrated expectations. When the lane keeping button of the...

I've noticed the driver's seat reclines a great deal. Add a footrest (a la Hyundai?) and reading material of that sort, and charging stops could be really good for naps.

Thanks for the report, and we're impressed by your trip. Did you turn around at the slide that blocks Highway 1 in Big Sur? Also, any luck with the free level 2 chargers at so many state parks between Eureka and the Bay Area? Or are they still there and usable? When I was younger, my family...

Another $0.02 worth from a Mach-E+Lightning couple... her car is a 2021 Mach-E Select short range rear engine which she loves (I like it too), and I just got a 2024 XLT SR. Agree with nearly everything previous posters have said. Driving fun vs. passenger comfort is a difficult choice...

Well, um... purchased it.

Agree with the principle that following what other users have done is generally better than following the manual. I followed the manual very carefully (timing, key placement, etc.) about 10 times to program the third fob for our Mach-E and it didn't work. Then watched a 'Tube video where...

Just an idea...an adapter with a cable (maybe 6 feet long) could be an easier solution. A problem could be that it would have to either work with Tesla's thermal management system or have really, really heavy gauge wire. There are probably other issues too, but it can be fun to brainstorm...

Thanks, folks! Now it's beginning to make sense. Looks as if these trucks have been hanging around for a while (maybe because of those QC checks/issues) but as long as they weren't stored at 100% charge (as I've seen some dealers do), they'd seem to be a better value. I'll definitely get as...

A search for 1FTVW3LK5RWG03426 should show an example, at least if it's still there.

I've noticed a few XLTs whose base sticker price is around $57500 instead of the official $62995. The standard equipment lists on the stickers are identical to the regular ones, and they all list "08 07 24" as the build date (I think). Does anybody know what's up with the differently...
