You do realize, I hope, that most of your complaints are not specific to Ford, but rather are a function of the way our economy in general and auto industry in particular works, right? For example, "crap that doesn't work half the time" is a function of the economics of testing and validating a...

I don’t closely track developments in FSD, but I was under the impression that Tesla is at pretty much a dead end because of Elon’s decision to forego LIDAR in favor of optical sensors? I trace this back to Musk’s poor engineering skill, “move fast and break things” might work in some places...

What delays? Why be resistant to data? Facts are facts, right? FWIW, a little understood economic factoid: if petroleum supply exceeds demand by a certain threshold, the oil companies stop drilling because the ROI on each marginal barrel is net negative. It’s a result of the economics of...

With the new Democratic Congress it should be very easy to re-instate. I hope they do.

I think the OP is asking about how to get back to the plain ‘ol built in AM/FM radio…

Why are you continuing to pick at this? Aren't there more important things to worry over?

What does marriage or birthday cakes or parental lineage have to do with tires on a truck? Sure I can. I just did! j/k! Seriously though, I neither downplayed nor dismissed anyone's feelings - I just said I don't understand it. No need to be thinskinned about it ... we're talking about...

I’m with you. As an engineer I just don’t understand the emphasis on appearances.

It took me a long time to untangle the way SiriusXM works (or doesn't) so you're not alone.

One of the delights of SiriusXM is that it behaves differently when you are using the SiriusXM that is built into your truck vs using the SiriusXM app on your phone vs accessing Sirius via the web front end using your laptop. The “favorites” list in your truck is NOT the same as your SiriusXM...

Your truck is about three years old, which is about the life I would expect from any OEM battery. My ‘22 XLT PowerBoost is a little over three years old, so I am expecting it to need new batteries (there are two batteries in mine) sometime this year.

I struggled quite a bit with selecting a tonneau cover. In the end it came down to understanding my requirements, which helped clarify the situation quite a bit. In my case, my key requirement was the ability to use an over-the-bed rack to carry our tandem bike. So for me, that immediately...

Very nice looking truck! Someone else suggested waiting just a bit before diving headfirst into big time mods. Seems like good advice. I’ve kept my ‘22 XLT PowerBoost 302A more or less stock. Here are the few things I added. - CERAMIC COATING! Cannot say enough good things about this. I had...

In general, it seems beneficial to go with aftermarket products instead of Ford OEM. For formats, both Husky and Weathertech make high quality products that are known to fit nicely in these trucks. Likewise with rear wheel well liners.

“Feminized millennials raised by single moms”??? What does this have to do with Fords or F-150s?
