  1. F150 EV vs ICE "Fuel" cost

    Today was interesting. Typically, when I stop to fill-up on a road trip, the EV chargers are empty or there might be one EV getting charged. This afternoon when stopping at a service plaza on the NY State Thruway, there were 5 chargers all with EV's plugged in getting charged. I hadn't had a...
  2. Is there a disadvantage to leaving the drivetrain in 4A all the time?

    I have a 2024 Lariat PB. I used to switch from 2H to 4A when roads got wet, I wanted extra traction to accelerate quickly, or I was off-road. The last couple of months, I have been in 4A all the time. There appears to be little difference in fuel economy between 2H and 4A. Is there a...
  3. Ford Oil Life Calculation Annamolly Causing Oil Life to Drop to 0% - 2024 PowerBoost

    I've had my 2024 PB for 6 months and have 14,700 miles on it. Been having the dealer change it every 5,000 miles. Last oil change was 10,250 miles. Never had an OLM warning run to 0%, then the oil life went to 0% after 2,500 miles of normal driving. Oil level and color were good. Thought the...
  4. 2024 Pro Power ground fault detection may be erroneous

    Edit: The message says a fault is detected but that is normal operation. Ford needs a better message. Hit reset and enjoy your ProPower. Heads-up! Every time I have Tested my Pro Power, I have received a ground fault detection and had to reset my system. I stopped by the dealer today to...
  5. 10 Hidden Features of the 2025 F-150

    I found this guy's video informative and tips useful, e.g., dead key starting, disable seat belt warning, open windows with the keyfob, etc. He states the features are for the 2025 but they applied to my 2024. Also, looks like he is using a 2024 for his main demo truck and some of the interior...
  6. Loud "clunks" while in 4H - 2024 Lariat PB with 4,500 miles

    Have had my F150 less than 6 weeks. Used 4A a few times off road with no issue the first 2 weeks. I've driven in 4H three times when running around the hunting lease the last couple of weeks. I don't need 4WD on the lease but noticed that the front tire tread doesn't get caked up with...
  7. Locking Wheel Nut Recommendations

    Getting locking wheel nuts for my vehicles has previously been easy. I just bought the locking lug nuts from the OEM. I did that for my new MY24 F150 Lariat and I'm not particularly happy with what I brought home. The locking lug nuts are a 1/2-inch longer than the standard lug nut it...
  8. Alternative Front License Plate Location for Eco-Boosts.

    I’ve had four turbocharged vehicles before getting my new PowerBoost with its twin turbo engine. Having to locate the TX required front license plate so it is blocking the intercooler of half the available airflow is not something I am willing to do. I’m sure the intercooler’s effectiveness is...
  9. F150 Windshield Replacement for MY2024 or later with Heads-up Display (HUD)

    The first week I had my new truck I took a rock into the windshield which now has to be replaced. Has anyone had any experience with replacing the windshield on an F150 model with a HUD? Is it a windshield specific for HUD projection? Did the replacement windshield still...
  10. 2024 Lariat is Battle Star Galactica at night! Can you help me be more covert?

    I do a lot of night hunting and operate almost exclusively in total darkness. I took my new Lariat on its first night hunt this week and every animal on the ranch and the neighbors' must have known I was there. I was prepared for the PowerBoosts reverse chime but I could not approach, open a...
  11. 2024 Powerboost Information

    I have been searching for information regarding the Powerboost and the difference between that and the normal ICE models. I am an engineer and wanted to understand what is different under the hood, the type generator/alternator it has, what the extra equipment and wires are on the passenger...
  12. Alternative F-150 Interiors to Black

    It seems that the vast majority of F150 come with Black interiors. The next most frequent I have seen is the even more-Blackish interior that is the only option with the Black Appearance Package (BAP) for MY 2024. My focus is the Lariat. Since the 2024s have shown up on dealer lots in March...
  13. Ideas for improving back seat comfort

    The F150 SuperCrew cab sure has plenty of leg room in the back seat. I find the seats to be not that comfortable. Even in the Lariat, I feel like I am sitting on a board. Does anyone have a suggestion for making them more comfortable (other than stepping up to a King Ranch or Platinum)? Do...
  14. How does Blue Cruise driving technology work with no subscription?

    I have driven several 2023 F150s with Copilot 2.0 and 2024 F150s that were BlueCruise (BC) equipped with 90-day trail. The instrument cluster with BC Hands-Free activated is shown in #1 below. I’ve been trying to determine what capabilities I will have on my ordered (but has yet to have a VIN)...
  15. F150 Tail Lights: Easy to Steal, Expensive to Replace!

    My neighbor returned from a trip where the theft of both tail lights occurred in the hotel’s parking lot. Thieves have found the trick to quickly and easily lifting F150 tail lights, even with a locked tailgate. I searched the forum and didn’t find a similar post so started this one. When he...
  16. Getting ready to order 2024 F150 but have a question regarding engine and axle ratio choices

    … or lack thereof compared to 2023 MY. I’ve noticed the 3.31 rear axle is only an option for the 5.0 and not for 3.5 EB for 2024 contrary to the 2023 MY. Looks like 5.0s cannot have the 3.55 either. Can anyone provide the rational or benefit for this? When considering the 2023s, I wanted the...
