  1. Normal operations battery vs hybrid

    I've had my range show 700+ miles, without any real attempt at adjusting my driving habits to extend it much (I tend to use Eco mode, but don't generally try to force it into electric mode). I have no doubt that you can get it to more than 800 miles if you use it the "right" way for long...
  2. Need installer of 360 Camera

    You may be able to hire Infotainment (Infotainment.com) to do this. I recall that they have offices in Florida and Texas. I would contact @Jesse-Infotainment to see if that's a possibility. He's a well-known member on this site.
  3. Normal operations battery vs hybrid

    Recall that it's a 1.5KW battery, which is very small by electric car standards, and this is a very heavy truck (comparitively). I wouldn't try to treat it as a standard hybrid vehicle by trying to drive in electric mode...especially from a dead stop. It's not going to stay in electric mode...
  4. MPG drop towing small trailer

    Good point; I forgot that not everybody has turbos. :) Without turbos, I agree that higher gears generally should be more fuel efficient...assuming that you can stay at those gears for long periods of time. If you're in the mountains, you might see a good deal of shifting between gears, so it...
  5. Ford Towing Guide Video with Tow Calculator (RV and Trailer Towing Guide)

    See the 2:48 point in that video where they itemize those numbers. In this example, the trailer tongue weight is 166lbs. This, in addition to passengers (250), cargo (100), and the weight of the hitch itself (34) add up to the 550 payload number that they use in their example. In their...
  6. MPG drop towing small trailer

    On the gearshift are a "+" and a "-" button. If you tap the "-" button while in "D", it'll gray-out the 10th gear on the dash (and remove the gear from usage). Hit it a second time and it will remove the 9th gear from usage. Repeat as necessary. Reengage the gears with the "+" button. The...
  7. Does anyone know of a device that will alert you to hauling too much weight?

    I've never heard of an aftermarket solution to monitoring payload. There are scales you can mount on your hitch to measure the hitch weight that would be applied to your truck from a trailer, but that doesn't measure anything loaded in the bed, for example. Onboard Scales + FordPass would take...
  8. Ford Towing Guide Video with Tow Calculator (RV and Trailer Towing Guide)

    To add to this, the Ford RV/Towing Guides can be found here: https://www.fleet.ford.com/towing-guides/ For most typical towing applications, I think that what they outlined in the video is good enough. For heavier applications, one might also want to visit a CAT scale to get axle weights and...
  9. Alternative “carrying capacity” options to Canopy topper

    I haven't tried it, but I suspect that you could use something like an Adarac system in tandem with something like a Softopper or Bestop Supertop if you want a rack system and more covered volume. It wouldn't be a secure storage area, but at least it could be removed and stored relatively...
  10. Tonneau Cover recommendations? Looking for Self Locking + Track for bike / canoe / cargo rack

    I have a Pace Edwards Ultragroove cover that I purchased at etrailer.com. I think that it matches your criteria. I’ve been pretty happy with mine. https://www.etrailer.com/Tonneau-Covers/Ford/F-150/2022/PE76UV.html?VehicleID=20227000550
  11. the big deal with android auto versus built in gps navigation

    I like the map of the Nav better than Apple Maps for basic orientation of what the roads look like around me, but I use Apple Maps for actual navigation tasks of getting me from point A to B. I trust it more than Google Maps/Waze to accurately calculate travel time (Google always seems to...
  12. Adding Forward Sensing System - 2021 King Ranch w/601A

    That did it, thanks! Man, I'm continually impressed with the technology that Ford has built into their vehicles! (And disappointed that they don't have more SYNC-controlled settings to turn more of these on without needing special equipment and software.) Oh, I see now. I thought that you...
  13. Adding Forward Sensing System - 2021 King Ranch w/601A

    I just tested mine out yesterday, and I get this image (well similar--mine is gray background instead of blue for some reason). It sounds like there's a forscan setting that will enable it to turn the front camera on when you get close? I went through the FY22 IPMA Forscan spreadsheet, and I...
  14. 2021+ F-150 FORScan List / Database / Spreadsheet

    There's probably a way to do it via forscan (maybe the forscan experts will chime in with those), but I solved it @PungoteagueDave 's way: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/how-to-disable-the-seatbelt-charm.4655/page-2#post-79648
  15. BlueCrusie hands free-Not Impressed

    That actually seems like a good thing to me. BC above 80mph seems extra risky to me, given that you have very little time to react and put your hands back on the wheel if something unexpected happens. (Honestly, I think that I'd be nervous going more than about 70mph with BC, but to each their...
  16. Why does my truck's alarm go off when parking with a trailer?

    Mine did this once; luckily I was still nearby and could turn it off. It was a windy day, and I think that the exaggerated movements of having a giant sail attached to the bumper might have triggered a motion sensor.
  17. Ford strikes again, this time the OTC parts warranty

    I can absolutely understand why Ford lawyers would require this limitation, especially as a blanket statement on all parts. They need to protect their client from customers doing stupid stuff. Not saying that what you’re doing is that, but you can probably imagine how it could be abused if it...
  18. Was the GEN13 a better looking exterior?

    I prefer nearly everything about the 14th gen version over the 13th gen. In particular, I like the new grill MUCH better than the previous generation--I don't really care for the way that the older headlights wrap around the grill. I never had a 13th gen truck, so I can't speak to how the...
  19. New Order POwerboost expected payload

    :) That's WHY I have a 4x2. I wanted a powerboost for the generator, I wanted 1800+ lbs payload to pull the trailer and carry my family of 5, and I wanted a 4x4 for the added capabilities. In the end, I could really only get 2 out of those 3, so I chose to sacrifice the 4x4. I rarely use that...
