I have a 21 F-150 XLT w.3.5L turbo and planning to purchase a travel trailer and I’m trying to decide to go with AGM or Lithium batteries in the trailer. The trailer is setup to use either but my question is will there be any issues with the truck charging the lithium batteries while driving...

The dealer was not very helpful at all. I probably spent 10-15 hours on the phone with Ford Customer Care center. I'll be mailing a letter to Ford Customer relations tomorrow, the lack of receiving OTA updates has been an issue since I purchased my truck... Anyway, thanks for the replies

I was hoping to remove this post before anyone replied. After an hour on the phone with the OTA group I was able to fix the problem. I had to update my FP app, perform a FP reset. Now you must press the buttons twice quickly to open the tailgate. I no longer have an issue with my dealer.

Tailgate button located on the tailgate is now working intermittently, key fob will open it, tailgate switch on the dash and using the door keypad will not open it. It worked great until I picked my truck up from the dealer today. My truck in being serviced to update 13 modules that have not...

I’m looking for anyone who has installed a batwing on their topper. Did you install the full size version or the compact version? Are you satisfied with the fit and function? Would you purchase the same item again or go with another product? Thanks in advance.

Just a hunch but my guess is the driver of this is to cut mass thus increasing gas milage and miles between charges, also to transfer assembly touch labor cost and part cost onto the end user when repairs/replacements are necessary.

Thank you for this info, this answers many of my questions.

I don't know, I have not seen a cross-section of the hub assy but the dealer service department has stated that it is unsafe to drive. I really don't want to believe that a bolt is a single point failure resulting in an unsafe to drive vehicle but that is what I have been told.

The way to check the status is to remove the Ford Logo axle cover

It's a rattling at low speeds less than 10 mph with windows down, stereo off

Thanks for the attachment, it included more into than I've been able to obtain from my dealer.

I can't get anyone at the dealer to tell me what the problem fix is. When the bolt fails then they replace the axle and the bolt but I don't know if the fix is to replace the bolt with a higher strength fastener or due to material capability they have to replace the axle as well when using a...

Nothing other than highway speeds and noticed it when I got off the highway and pulled up to a stop sign.

This is really beginning to piss me off. I've had a second axle bolt failure, this time on the other side. Apparently there is a group of engineers and analysts somewhere in the engineering staff at FORD that has no idea of Fracture Critical Parts, Single Point Failures and redundancy of...
