Is the thought that lowering the cap would force automakers to produce cheaper EVs? This seems so illogical. The only thing this seems to accomplish is punishing the “wealthy” while only harming the initiative to entice people to purchase EVs. Automakers will produce cheaper EVs as soon as they...

I love CarPlay. It's one of the things I'm most excited about (coming from a 2005 Acura TSX which didn't even have an aux input). AppLink is like Ford's version of CarPlay/Android Auto, so I guess it makes sense you can't use them together. And maybe there is no support for the FordPass app in...

Man I have a lot to learn. The entire reason I’m looking at an F-150 is because we want to start camping and get a boat. Have been looking at around 7000# TTs and was thinking with max tow we’d be okay. I’ll give it a shot to get started. Maybe I’ll trade it in when the super duties get their...

Why do you say you’d get a super duty? I’m still learning about towing and hope to get some type of boat (sail or power) some day. Is towing a boat harder than a TT?

I don’t understand the point of the post then. The WiFi technology that the truck uses is no less secure than everything else out there that 99% of people use. Any modern device (i.e. your smart phone) is going to negotiate and use WPA2 not WPA like you imply in the OP. Having mixed mode for...

Do you have a source on that? The hardware obviously supports other protocols. It doesn’t make sense that it’d force WPA. But also WPA isn’t the encryption, it’s the protocol. And with hardware that supports mixed mode, even WPA can use the more secure encryption provided by WPA2, making it just...

This information is misleading. The vehicle hotspot uses WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. The truck does NOT “only have WPA encryption” like the OP states. Mixed mode allows clients to use the more secure encryption algorithms supported by WPA2 and is therefore more secure. Older clients could technically...

EDIT: Where did you find that the hotspot “only has WPA encryption”? This video shows a 2021 with WPA/WPA2 mixed mode: While a WPA2-only network would be more secure, mixed mode allows clients to negotiate the encryption protocol. Most modern clients should be using WPA2 by default or at...

I’ll take you up on that. Still unscheduled, clean but when it comes in I’d swap you.

That’s great info, thanks for that. I did go with the max tow in my lariat super cab (145” wb). It’s nice to know I’ll get the larger brakes which is something I wanted from the HDPP. I did get the 20” wheels, though. Thought it’d impact payload a bit, but wasn’t exactly sure. I’m hoping I’ll...

Do you happen to know why HDPP is only available on trims up to XLT mid? Would have gotten it on my Lariat. Do you think they include the parts standard or is it considered more of a work package?

what is op referring to? is this the speed limit sign reader or something else?

I just imagine someone having sync read them the notification that they just opened their door. Makes me chuckle.

you’d think at the very least it wouldn’t alert if the phone was currently or recently connected to the vehicle. But it sends a notification if you open the door while the truck is running? And your phone is in the car?

Is that lead foot or carbonized grey?

btw the build tool has info on what’s included in packages and compatibility info:

Pure speculation, but I think parts of the heavy duty payload package / max tow are actually included when you add the Powerboost since the batteries are so heavy. Adding the Powerboost automatically adds the 3.55 axle on 4x2 and the 3.73 on 4x4 models (axles that come with max tow or hdpp). I...
