I'm all but certain that I would be EV again. The price of used is so much less now than new, that would likely be the way to go. Wasn't available when I boughtine. We are EV only, and don't miss anything about ICE, with the possible exception of some really thin charging areas.

Suggest you drive an ICE truck around for 2 weeks before deciding, then remember the extra maintenance, then decide.

I think you can add Tesla to the list. They have not innovated outside of the CT for many years, and even that seems pretty half finished and not nearly what was promised. Then the updates on X and S non-existent. Pretty minor on the 3 and Y, Roadster is vaporware even though some bought it...

FWIW, IMHO I believe the root of most of Ford's problems is the accountants have too much control. The accountants focus is on max profits, and shareholders, and only the short term Rather than listening to engineers, the accountants push for the absolute lowest cost components. Result is...

Have a Ford Collision center so the work. Few months ago, my truck got backed into. Insurance tried to rush me to one of their approved shops, but I decided to go to the local Ford shop where the dealership handle VEs. Once there found out that if they did the work, they used OEM parts (more...

I want to make clear I have every compassion for the OP. ABSOLUTELY CRAPPY SPOT TO BE IN! IDK if I would stick with the truck myself. However, OP needs complete as possible info IMHO to help themale a rational choice, whatever that may be. Wishing you well and speedy resolution OP.

Being precise is exactly what I was trying to get at. It doesn't appear your diagnosis has been common. Any vehicle can fail suddenly. I had a 2019 Ranger that had an injector fail suddenly. Truck wasn't but a few months old. There was no new tech in that truck, it was just new to the US market...

Looks like most of those were probably recalls. There have been a number of those. the rear cooling pump would not have been. Battery modules, some have been for recalls other had some failures. I think all the others have had recalls and I believe those are what those are, but I don't...

Just going to point out there are ICE car fires in my local area almost daily, certainly a couple a week, and that's only the ones thatake it on a local Facbook group. If it were a EV fire, you would see it everywhere. Not saying can't happen, but if your truck is not part of that recall, I...

If there were warrant claims, then Ford would have a history of those, also should have a history of dealer.visits. Probable worthwhile to try to get that info.

Yeah, meant to say that I hadn't seen reports, but the brain goes faster than the hands. Thanks for the correction.

Sorry for clarity. I was wondering if previous owner had saw those codes and traded/sold the truck because of it. Second, in forums like this, the ones with problems are far more likely to post. They go looking for answers (like yourself) and post the problems. People that don't have problems...

Here's a good one. "Good stories come from bad decisions!"

Doesn't help your situation, but this the first report of the hvb junction failure in a Lightning. Mach-E, yes, but not int a Lightning. If the error codes go back that far, then that is suspicious that it would show up as a used vehicle. There are reports weekly of this error or that failure...

I second this. Changed to a HEPA.filter very late summer early fall last year. Immediately noticed the drop in airflow. Left the HEPA filter in through winter, but changed it outid Paril before heat arrived. Won't be doing a HEPA again. Seemed logic and a good ideal, but wasn't

No doubt that is true for the batteries you are using, but there are many versions of each with their own particulars. Not saying that what Ford will be using is completely immune to the problems you cite. However I do expect they won't be as sensitive, otherwise they would be mostly useless in...

CATL is who they are licensing the battery tech from if I remember correctly. Republicans have tried to make it a poison Bill to get construction shut down

It's my understanding (certainly not expert on the subject), but the very very fast charging battery packs the Chinese have, are based on LFP cells. Hopefully Ford will be able to include very fast charging rates in these LFP batteries. Would make a real 240 mile range much more palatable.

Confirmed pinch to zoom works in my XLT.in AA.l

Yeah it helps allot. Same area and utility. We have two ev's that we both average about 1300iles a month. In Jan which was cold, usage went up about 50%, but our bill told us that we had spent $67 for charging for the entire month of January withuch higher than average usage.
