Ha, not trying to pick any nits, I was just following the thread. Someone said above (not you) that they tested a 3.5 EB Lariat with 3.73, and then the comment you quoted about them thinking you couldn't get the 3.73 with 3.5 EB. Then your message seemed to indicate you could just as a general...

That isn't telling the whole story though. You can only get the 3.5L Ecoboost and 3.73 with the HDPP. So yes, it is available, but not on a Lariat. Here is what happens if you try to add 3.73 to a 3.5L EB Lariat. It even covers this on the Max Tow details, only get the 3.73 with HDPP, which...

It is never coming. No we don't know. It is on new vehicles built recently, so it is just a matter of time.

I suspect it is because the speaker is in the engine bay (right?) so if backing out of a parking spot and someone was walking behind the truck, it may be harder for them to hear just the normal impulse sound. On an ICE vehicle, the exhaust comes out the rear and also often the more prominent...

Yeah, that line item on a PB is a mistake, it is impossible to stop it from starting/stopping as it is a basic function of the hybrid system. So if you have a PB, just ignore that part. It was a build sheet mistake due to them rushing to get that added for the other engines.

Yeah, I think adding a bit of weight is fine. I add 200lbs. While weight hurts stopping distance, 200lbs isn't really different than having a 200lb guy in your passenger seat, heck if might be better with more weight on the rear axle like we were discussing. I think you start to see diminishing...

Yeah, I have not yet put winter tires on my F-150s, but while we get a decent amount of snow here, it is SE Michigan, so nothing quite like northern MI or much of Canada. You know your area better than me, and of course how much you are forced to drive in those conditions is a factor. I have...

No, do NOT put it as far back as possible. You want the weight over the axle, not against the tailgate. Their reasoning is flawed. By putting it all the way back, you are lifting weight off the front as a pendulum effect (maybe not pendulum? I feel like I am blanking on what I mean to say, but...

Right, dealers won't have it and since you need to pay Ford to unlock it, you couldn't just go to the dealer and have them do anything. It's much easier to load a new version of software on a blank slate than do an upgrade. Like installing Windows 10 on a blank drive vs updating an existing...

Mine has been about perfect on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. I had a couple times where it didn't start CarPlay for whatever reason, but doing the soft restart button combo to restart the head unit corrected it, so no big issue. Once connected I have never had it disconnect.

Goooot it, well I hope things speed up for ya. Yeah in the end probably well worth the wait in that case. If you ever get a VIN and need help tracking its progress let me know. I work at Ford so I can see some of the extra vehicle progress sites and that. Not in a position to help with your...

Geez, I am patient but I wouldn't wait 6 months for a VIN assignment, I would find another dealer with actual allocation and have them place the order. I ordered in March, got the VIN in less than a week, and had my truck in May. 5 weeks from order to delivery, and I had some of the options that...

I have never in all my years of driving or being in a car seen it actually run out of gas when the DTE hits 0. Most every car of any make I have been around when DTE gets to 0 still has 20-30 miles easy it can go. OEMs often do this to help prevent people from running out, and also because as...

I'm fine with it. It definitely helps to have it in surround and not stereo, for some reason Ford sends a lot out in the Stereo setting. While I don't think it's bad, Ford definitely needs to stop having their marketing team determine the stereo and actually work with someone that knows what...

It's wild how much little stuff like that bothers people to point of modifying the vehicle to get rid of it. I sure know I wouldn't want to have an incident with a pedestrian and when they investigate ask who modified the system that warns pedestrians a 2.5 ton vehicle is coming, especially...

By any 1:1 comparison, the F-150 is definitely faster, by at least a second in 0-60. It feeling one way or another is largely irrelevant as the feel of a vehicle can be down to a number of factors. The noise of the 6.2L almost definitely made it "feel" like more was happening. The PB trucks are...

I would give it at least a couple days more and make sure you follow up with the dealer. My truck was on the lot for two days before it showed delivered in vehicle visibility. That is a good reference, but it is only as accurate as the speed and consistency of those that update the specific...

Just a situation where it's important to read the truck manual before getting too upset at a feature, as many above said Ford should include a button, and they essentially did. With how infrequently I have to disable Auto Hold (has been 0 times so far since I won't take this truck through a car...

If you are limited in dealers around you and they won't budge, I guess you just decide how much you want the truck. But I have never in my life paid a deposit and I have had almost 20 Fords between at least five Ford dealers in three states. It is not a Ford requirement by any stretch, so if the...

Just stay on your dealer to get you the VIN, and in the future never pay a deposit.
