Nice perk. How are your numbers over the road with it and how's the frunk - can you fit one bag of groceries or two?

Gets 2.9mi/kWh at about 85mph, and I average about 15-20min for a charging stop. It’s quite an impressive vehicle.

The frunk is small, it’s basically the subfrunk for me. I store charging cables, outdoor blanket and not much else.

It has its pros, and it has its cons. The worst is I haven’t been able to find a timed shutoff. I’ve repeatedly left the car on and it’ll stay on indefinitely. And while it’s on, none of the remote command works.

Not bad at all. The wife’s suv is getting close to needing replacement and we’re waiting to see what the Hyundai Ioniq 9 looks like next year.

Second anniversary! Two years, 26k miles later and still enjoying every mile! Who else for the original crew still has theirs??

I no longer have my original Pro from 7/11 but I still have my 2022 Lariat.

Will be two years for my Pro on 8/31. Sitting at about 23k miles and I am still enjoying the value.

I still miss my original but the 23 Lariat is a nice upgrade. I’ll deal with it. I feel bad for the guy in South Carolina that bought my Pro. Apparently he had to have a battery module replaced about a month after buying it.

I had a module replaced last year, my entire pack is getting a replacement now…

Negative - my first pack replacement ever owning over a dozen EVs, so not too happy about that.

Positive - I get a brand new pack with no degradation! I can’t even count how many DC/100% cycles I put on this pack and how ma y times Ive run it to single digits. No crystallization to worry about. Looks like not listening to @MickeyAO paid off…just remind me to listen to him somewhere around year 7 and/or 80,000 miles.

You may be surprised when you read the repair notes ....

Looking forward to the details from the R/O when the job is done!

All 9 modules failed??????

 

[Ford Senior Master]

Well I did it again. Traded the 23 Lariat for a 24 Flash Ext range. Loving every about it.

Was it worth it? Any major differences?

How so?

No just one module. But the entire pack is being replaced due to the situation. The pack was escalated for investigation.

Idk what that means but maybe @Ford Senior Master does?

The only thing I lost going from the Lariat was the leather and cooled seats. I gained Extended range and Blue Cruise. I actually like the cloth seats better because they are more comfortable. Also this is the first one that is not black.

Can you share more information on this?
