  1. Trip 1, Trip 2, Avg MPG's explain?

    Every time you turn the truck off, it will give you the "Trip Summary" stats for that specific trip. But it is only there for a few seconds before the dash turns off. This might only be for Powerboosts but not sure, because mine has 4 data points: MPG, Time, Total Miles, Electric Miles
  2. Colorado Camping Trip(s)

    Nope, no sun screen that I recall. Colorado is very sunny though, so I figured maybe the sun is drying things out as it sits in my driveway?
  3. Colorado Camping Trip(s)

    Yep - no idea why it is fading / turning kind of dusty white. Haven't really tried any products on it yet, but I am interested in hearing what might work.
  4. Second thought/ Crazy prices

    This was sort of my mind frame, even though I'm nowhere near retirement and I still sometimes think "did I really just spend this much on a truck?". My last vehicle was a 2012 Grand Cherokee that started to shit the bed around 120k miles. Needed a new steering rack, head gasket replaced which...
  5. Colorado Camping Trip(s)

    Went camping this past weekend, first trip since last summer when I hit a deer (only 15 days after owning the truck :mad:). Nothing too crazy as far as off roading, but captured some great photos and had a nice relaxing weekend in the mountains. Used "Off Road" mode for the first time ever and...
  6. MPG Fun Facts for My PB (Disclaimer: No Science, Just Anecdotal Observations :))

    490 / 26 gallon tank = 18.84 mpg 490 / 26 = 18.84 mpg 520 / 26 = 20 mpg 560 / 26 = 21.54 mpg Using a King Soopers gas station in the Denver Metro area, their prices currently show: 85 octane = $3.89 87-89 (not sure what Midgrade is) octane = $4.15 91 octane = $4.40 So fill ups would be...
  7. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    Just refueled the other day. Computer showed 19.9 mpg, but hand calc was 19.1 mpg. Its kind of weird because if I drive 10+ miles I almost always get over 20mpg, sometimes up to 25mpg per the computer. I also live in Denver so altitude is a factor, as well as having 34" BFG K02s.
  8. F-150 vs. new Tundra

    Can you expand more on the tailgate comparisons? My 502a is loaded and I didn't really get a choice for options since it was the only one available, and I've been doggin the power tailgate option because it seemed like a waste of money. Maybe it wasnt?
  9. $70k and stuff is falling apart.

    No it won't. If you lock with the 2 bottom keypad buttons, the only way back into the truck is through FordPass app or the code. Edit; Re-read and saw that you mentioned they could break the window. I guess that is true, so have to determine if you're in an area where that might happen...
  10. $70k and stuff is falling apart.

    Yea I love the keypads. Thats how I lock my truck every day (hit bottom 2 buttons together). I also use it to unlock the truck if I dont have the key in my pocket, and I lock my fob in the truck when I'm hiking / biking etc.
  11. Camping Out of a 5 Ft Bed?

    My buddy has a 5.5' bed and he's 6'2ish. He can sleep diagonally on the plywood platform he built above the wheel wells (with drawers built underneath in between), even with his gf (she's pretty small). He did say that he'd get the 6.5' bed if he had to do it again.
  12. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    Does the dash tell you how many miles were Blue Cruise?
  13. Ford F-150 Extended Warranty from Ford Protect - $25 Over Dealer Cost- PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE!

    Does the 1-year date mean the 1-year date of when the truck was built, per the VIN? Or 1-year since delivery was taken?
  14. Bluecruise OTA Status?

    I got that email too. Have you tried installing OTA yourself?
  15. My heat sucks

    I've never noticed it being slow to heat during CO winter, and I have a Powerboost. One thing I have noticed is that the front windshield defrost is kinda weak as it leaves an ice patch almost right in driver's view. Seems like the vents aren't angled specifically to the driver's view area, and...
  16. Android Auto - Voice activated calling

    Yep. All permissions allowed for Android Auto (calendar, call logs, contacts, location, mic, nearby devices, phone, sms)
  17. Android Auto - Voice activated calling

    The long press did work in bringing up the Google assistant, appreciate that tip. Still wondering what is different between the old phone and the new phone though. Just weird that it worked by the short / single press on the old phone, but now it fumbles with the contacts. I can still short...
  18. Android Auto - Voice activated calling

    Hmm I didn't know there was a single press vs. long press, thanks. I can try that tomorrow, to see if it works. What I do know is that it worked with the Pixel a few weeks ago so I think it must have something to do with the Samsung
