Glad to see they're still doing development on it, really wish they'd get 1.4 rolled out to everybody, leaving on a road trip tomorrow and the update would have been really nice. :(

So.... let me get this straight, you're using AC to DC power supplies plugged into your truck to get the DC voltage to feed into your DC to AC grid-tied inverter, and back-feeding that into a regular outlet on your house? Glad that's working for you, seems like it might make more sense to figure...

Is there a post somewhere about this, or a technical alert from Ford? First time I've heard of the issue before, doesn't rule out it being widely known but a quick search was only returning this post on the issue for me.

What I'd love to see is that status information show locked/unlocked instead of "parked". Yeah I know it's parked, what I care about is, is it it locked, especially given the half dozen walk-away-lock failures its had in the last 2 months.

Does PG allow you to back-feed the grid with a bi-directional meter so you can take advantage of a utilities surge demand payment with the battery? (ie PGE has a program were they'll pay you to supply power back to the grid during high demand times)

Thanks for the write up on this, I've been looking at the PG system with V2X capability on it. Did you purchase direct from them or go through a reseller? I've been trying to locate an installer here local that's familiar with them, but haven't done any hard looking yet.

And what the heck did it do with the charge port? It looks like it's plugged into the open door :D

Are you sure about that? Shift to park should still work with the rotary shifter, it's even easier since it's doesn't have to move the sift lever, and others have reported that it does indeed still work after the conversion. If you've done the conversion and it's no longer doing the auto shift...

Nice! That's exactly the direction I was wanting to go with it, moving it to the front of the cubby, just haven't found time to sit down with CAD and do it.

I'd be less concerned about showing off the tailgate lightbar and more concerned that if you HAVE the tailgate lightbar, those pads are also covering your backup lights. Really curious why Ford decided to cover the white lights in the taillight with the tailgate on the Lariat and Platinum...

Yeah, I'd say console < rotary in console < (rotary on dash | column shifter) I'd prefer to have the window wiper controls on the stalk on the right of the column, but since they're not there, then having the shifter there is is a good option and probably makes the most sense for space savings...

The fact that we have both a physical and soft button for Max Def, but recirc is buried in the menu is soooo dumb. I also would love a quick way to turn on recirc when I'm stuck behind a diesel, or discover that somebody has hit a skunk in the area.

Higher power USB ports would be nice, along with PD on the USB-C. Also wish they'd left a 12V socket in the center console so I could add my own charger of whatever flavor I wanted, without having to have an adapter hanging out of my dash. edit: s/powers/ports/

Also see they added in video from the camera for blindspot on the gauge panel when you turn on an indicator. Another feature it would be nice for Ford to adopt.

I liked the AMPS adapter idea, so I threw together a 3D printable version. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1085802-ford-f150-lightning-amps-adapter-for-coin-slot

Dunno, I can think of plenty. Skunks (had this on the commute last night, somebody hit one and then was stuck in backed up traffic in the evening commute), coal rollers, being stuck behind that diesel truck who's deleted his emissions gear, stuck behind the garbage truck, driving through an area...

Is the V2X module not available yet, or did you just decide not to go with it at this point? What do the costs look like for the PointGuard system?

Thank you, that trip through the gorge and up through Deadman's pass was exactly what I was looking for, and with the same trailer I'm looking to pull.

Parts delays seems to be a common issue right now, I've got my truck at the dealership for a problem with the charge door, they've had it for 3 days now and are telling me they're HOPING to have the part by Tues. :( Also just got my rotary shifter and planning on doing the swap, I don't like...

I thought that bridge looked familiar, what kind of range hit are you seeing while towing with the temps in PDX? I need to tow a CR-V to Idaho and am wondering how much warmer I should let it get before I go so I'm not dealing with both the temperature and towing range hit.
