Took the family RV camping for a few days before Thanksgiving since the kids all have the week off from school. (I don't ever remember getting the whole week, but that's another story for another time) Lake Morena is in Southern San Diego County mountains at about 3500' and a 45 min drive for...

Just like the title says, I saw an F-250 Super Duty hybrid while driving back to work from lunch today. At least thats what the badging on the back of the truck said. It was a company truck, so perhaps a fleet vehicle or 3rd-party conversion? I know there are reports of Ford developing a SD...

While driving my teenage son and his friend back from a birthday dinner the other night, a late model Honda Accord felt entitled to dart around in front of everyone, only to find himself stopped at a red light. I casually pulled up in the lane to his right. He was stopped with his rear tires...

I was helping a family friend today with some landscaping work. He wanted to make a french drain along side the edge of his property. He rented a bobcat to help with distributing the gravel. Only problem was there is a steep grade along the path and the dirt was not compacted so the bobcat...

I was stopped at a traffic light and a wide load truck hauling concrete mixing equipment clipped my driver side mirror. Cracked the upper mirror, housing, and the cover cap. Flagged the driver down, pointing to the mirror damage. He pulled over, apologized. Said his company will take care of...

I was having issues getting OTA's to install successfully until I reset the BMS. Then updates started coming through. 3 in one week. BMS 24.6, PU-1024-6A, and recently Priority Update 6.5, all successfully installed. Great! Or so I thought. Now I'm getting notifications that it wants to...

Last November we took our new to us TT to my folks in Tucson on a shakedown trip to see how the truck and TT did. This past week we took it on our first camping trip to the local mountains here in San Diego. William Heise County Park just outside of Julian. We've done exclusively tent camping...

Drove the family from East San Diego, CA to Phoenix, AZ. 350 miles, 7 hours of driving, slightly over 1/2 a tank and 25 mpg. Included traveling over 4,000 ft mountain passes with rain and sleet falling this morning along I-8. Didn't need to use 4H, although it was reassuring knowing it was there...

This just started to me today. Tried making a call using hands free and the audio was nothing but static. Turned off Android Auto and used Sync4. Just as bad. Radio audio was perfectly fine. Made the call using the speaker on my phone and it was clear. Tried restarting my phone and tried a few...

So, an observation more than anything. I haven't researched through all the PB threads to see if anyone else has noticed this or not, but something I have noticed while using downhill grade and braking for regen. My daily commute home takes me down a decent length hill. Usually the ICE kicks...

Having read a lot of threads and recommendations on towing, increasing tire pressure on the tractor vehicle seems to be a common suggestion to improve handling and mileage. I'm towing a 4,000 lb, 21' Jayco from San Diego to Tucson on Wednesday with my Powerboost. It will be our first trip...

Driving my two boys to my younger son's soccer game this morning. Nearing the I-8 West and CA-67 interchange, traffic stops suddenly. I had to hit my brakes hard and activated the ABS. Truck started braking quickly and I figured I would stop in time. As I'm slowing down, I glanced in my...

My daily commute is about 7 miles, mostly street driving with some small hills and a bit of freeway mixed in. It takes me 15 min and I usually get 20 mpg on my way in to work in the morning. Today I realized I forgot my laptop and had to drive back home to get it. This time, on the way back to...
