After I told them my "Settings / Vehicle / Alarm" options were different than they described, they gave this input. I will try using the manual key method if I ever take the ferry again. Does anyone know if there is a planned release date for the Sync update that will fix this?
Why the Alarm...
My local dealer had this initial input on the unwanted alarms on the ferry...
What happened (the “why”)
Your 2024 F-150’s alarm has two layers:
Perimeter (doors/hood/tailgate) – triggers if an entry point is opened or forced.
Interior/Inclination sensors (motion & tilt) – look for cabin...
I had a software update last night (something for the radio) and an oil change at the dealer today, and now autofold stopped working again. It is a mystery...
My truck sometimes thinks the rear tailgate isn't closed when it is -- I have to slam it shut to get it to decide it is closed. However, I noticed that the mirrors won't autofold if the truck thinks the tailgate isn't latched. I will monitor to see if this is causing some of my occasional...
I thought about it, but I had never used manual mode and didn't want to try for the first time on a narrow windy road. If the behavior repeats, I am ready to attempt it as I subsequently tried it in a less demanding driving situation and it was easier than expected.
We were towing a light fiberglass trailer (~6K lbs) in tow/haul mode on a very slightly rolling and winding two lane road (speed limit ~45 mph). Twice the truck seemed to get stuck in gear and wouldn't shift to a higher gear (in automatic mode). The RPM would hold at ~4K in 3rd gear. I tried...
Here is the 2024 Ford F-150 manual reference that links the inclination sensor with the motion sensor. Both should be on or off together per this information. However, even with motion sensor off, the inclination alarms keep happening during a ferry ride. So it seems either this information...
We did our first ferry trip with our 2024 F-150 Lariat and it was a major nuisance with unwanted alarms. I tried disabling the motion sensors in settings, and also tried "ask on exit", and also tried locking it without using the key fob (suggested by ferry staff). I finally had to just leave...
It's a mystery... I can't see that any updates were applied, but the autofold started working again and has been working consistently. This happened after I did some towing with our small 5th wheel trailer. I used tow/haul mode and the 4L setting a bit (while hitching and unhitching) and used...
For the earlier attempt, I locked it with the sensor on the door handle. I tried the steps again using the keypad, but still no luck...
Thanks for sharing your tips!
My oil life was not impacted...
I followed the above steps provided by @Dakar09, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Still no auto fold even when enabled. It will fold once if I disable it and re-enable it, and then power down and lock the truck with the button on the exterior door...
Last night my 2024 F-150 installed an update "Window Performance" DDM-25.20.4.3 without any apparent error. However, now autofold for my tow mirrors stopped working. It is still enabled, but doesn't work. If I disable it, and re-enable it, it will work once. However, the next time I use the...
I have a 2024 F150 Lariat SuperCrew 4x4. I was planning to upgrade to Bilstein 5100 shocks:
Bilstein B8 5100 Shock - 24-323680 Front
Bilstein B8 5100 Shock - 33-253190 Rear
Since your web site indicates these are for standard suspension only, I checked with the Ford service department. Per...
Has anyone installed this?
I recently purchased a 2024 F150 4x4 Lariat from the factory with the “Trailer Camera and Trailer TPMS” option. These items were delivered in a box in the back seat of the truck since they are “customer placed”.
I opened the box yesterday, and there are three issues...
