2024 Lightning XLT "build & price" AND window sticker both say it's included - it's not: What now?

[Firn]

Exactly. They can change stickers on unsold trucks but I bought a truck based on representations from Fords website and the published (and printed) window sticker and I expect it to meet those representations.

From a different perspective. What if ford printed new window stickers for your truck that said you only have an 80kwh battery instead of 100kwh. Would you be unhappy and fight it? Or just agree that Goliath wins. Sorry, I am going to be David and fight back.

Not sure where me or anyone said you were not justified in seeking recompense.

I was responding to whomever it was who was claiming that Ford FIXING the window stickers so that this doesn't happen to someone else was Ford trying to hide what happened.

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but I have used my workspace to do work with my laptop while charging, it's useful for me. It wouldn't be a dealbreaker not to have it, but I prefer to have it.

Truck doesn't fit in my standard sized garage so when my wife is away at work sometimes I pull it in to charge L2 off of the Mach-E plug, but since I can't shut the garage door, I'm not going back in the house. The workspace is perfect for getting work done while I guard my stuff in the garage.

I am not being sarcastic. I like the work space too, but the shifter is overkill in my opinion. More motors, more sensors, more potential failures, when a dial or some other control would have been fine. I really do wish there was a built in garage door opener. Now that I need to have a plain old garage remote makes it easy for someone to get into my house even when the truck power is off.

Not sure about Ford but on my other vehicles the Homelink system was powered even if the vehicle was off.

In essence same as an old school remote, if they got inside your vehicle they could be inside your house.

There are a couple app based tools that are nice.

In my Tesla, EV6, Camry Hybrid. No Power no garage door operation. That is the way I would want it to work. I have MyQ at one of my shops. I have the APP and it works Almost always without any problems, but I do worry about them getting hacked and some punk opening all the doors or something.

Seriously. Bring back homelink and give me a rotary shifter like our expedition. Still can flip the work desk. Shifter is one of the biggest disappointments on this truck. Front sensing aside.

Funk that noise. Our Mach-E has the rotary shifter and I hate hate hate it

I believe they removed that as well for the '25s, the workbench and the folding shift lever.

Where did you see they removed the folding shifter and workbench? I can see removing workbench and making it an option, but I can’t see them removing the folding shifter because that is standard in the ICE F-150s, unless they removed it from them too. Just curious.

Looks like Ford is doing something about it (it = the missing front sensors on XLTs window sticker discrepancy) but according to the letter they're sending around, that something is offering a whopping $100 refund if you jump through some hoops...

Given the quotes people have posted on this thread have it added it's seemingly offensively low, but I guess not surprising...

Wondering if anyone here has gotten Ford to go beyond the silly "Oops, here's $100" offer? I'd prefer they install the sensor that was stated on the vehicle I purchased - it is a useful feature that I simply thought wasn't working on my truck.
