Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

[HaroldCal]

Granted I researched the eff out of this truck before I bought it, during the test drive the sales guy had no idea what 'one-pedal-drive' was. That's not even unique to a Ford EV.

Yeah, when I went in, the sales guy knew absolutely nothing about the vehicle. I trained him as I was checking everything out.

Guess I should look at that card in the glovebox and memorize my door code.

And then take that card out of the glove box and store it in your safe at home. Otherwise, anyone who gets even temporary access to your vehicle could get it and make note. Think valet, car wash, lot guy at the dealer, passengers, kids, etc.

If you subscribe to YouTube TV you can get to it from the YouTube app in the truck and watch live TV or your recordings on the bigger screen.

...but then DO set Your own door code. The card has a hard-coded master code.

You can change it to something easier for you to remember

Auto high beams don't turn on until 33 MPH. Not a feature, but something that pissed me off until I figured it out.

Thank you for this. I was mad the other night they weren't coming on but I wasn't going over 30mph because of all the trees stacked up in my neighborhood.

Great thread idea. I'm happy to say that none of these are new. Obviously I've spent WAY too much time reading the manual!!

Wait! There’s a manual?

if you have a lariat or Platinum - Hidden Calculator and Tic-tac-toe

These are the ones I've learned about through various threads here:

• Holding the volume knob pressed in sets center display to calm mode (large screen).
• Pressing the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons on the door keypad at the same time locks the truck.
• Repeatedly tapping the Sketch tab in the top of the Sketch app will make it draw a rose.
• In the Sketch app, in the options "+", there is a calculator and tick tack toe.

And I'll add from this thread the trick with opening the frunk with the door code and then tapping 7/8. That's awesome. I'm a sucker for Easter eggs like these.

You can create a new one, but you can’t change the factory code.

As others said just add a personal code and don't keep the card in the glovebox.

I add the same personal code to all my cars and trucks. For years I've been using the first 5 numbers of my Social Security number so I don't forget what it is.

I also have a Console Vault and keep a spare FOB in a faraday bag locked in the console vault for emergencies.

My Apple watch fordpass app allows me to lock, unlock and start the AC.
