Last February I finally replace the OEM H-6 in my 2021 Job 1 Platinum with a Walmart H-8, best move I made. The reason for this post is I took my old battery and put in in my neighbors John Deere diesel tractor which had a failing battery. The tractor sits and doesn't see much use unless I use...

I haven't had an OTA in almost 2 years, October 23rd would be 2 years. I have been in touch with @rugedraw about this and he has told me that Ford has been pinging my truck, but the truck doesn't respond. He suggested disconnecting the battery for 20 min to do a reset. Well I did this a few...

I have a 157 wb super crew. In all my travels I rarely see a 157 wb truck. Ford probably sells 1 long bed for every 10,000 short bed. I'm guessing here, but it would be nice if we could see actual sales figures. Do you think Ford will discontinue this configuration because of low sales? I know...

It seems Ram is extending their warranty on their trucks to 10 yr/100,000 miles on all new 2026 trucks. They are doing this to boost sales while trying to give their 2025 trucks away with employee pricing on top of steep discounts on select trucks. I wonder if Ford and Gm will follow suit with...

Hello everyone, my connected navigation is up for renewal in July. Are there any significant downsides to not renewing it, any other features that it would comprise by being turned off? I manly use Apple Maps thru CarPlay to navigate. Thanks.

I got passed today by a MME Gt on the interstate today. I was in the passing lane and he was impatient to get by me. I moved over and Zip, whoosh and he was showing me his taillights. Spooky because there was no sound! No trans downshift, no roar as the engine revved up, simply See Ya!

Ford has removed the spare tire as std equipment on the Escape and the Explorer. My sister in law had to purchase the spare as a stand alone option on her 2025 Escape Platinum and Tim Barts from Long McArthur Ford in Kansas just reported that Ford was removing the spare from Explorer's starting...

Just like that, three years of ownership has passed and the final payment went into Ford just the other day! Once again, no car payment.

I know one of the last few OTA's was supposed to fix the Phantom Update message, and it did stop them for a while on my truck, but they are back and as annoying as ever. Is anyone else getting these phantom update messages? Thanks.

This morning my wife and I stopped and did some quick shopping after driving about 4 miles from home. Came out of the store , got into the truck and started it up. Scrolled thru all the messages from the trailer hook up, no reverse brake assist, blah , blah, blah. We have our bike rack on with...

Twice now I have been out driving and I have gotten a notification that a download is ready and will install at my next schedule time . Problem is that the download disappears from my truck without installing. Yesterday my wife and I were shopping and we were out most of the day. Late morning I...

So my truck informed me today that I had an update to install. I could have it done tomorrow night [ 08/29] at my regular time or do it now. I chose to do it now and it failed. I tried to install the update 5 times between 2:14 pm and 2:54 pm and it failed each time due to certain preconditions...

Just got home from a short vacation and I had a letter in the mail from Ford. It references a Blue Cruise software update { optional product improvement program 21G01}. The letter states that although my My21 F-150 may have already started the download of the new software , I should contact my...

The NY state thruway has been cashless tolling for a few years now and we have had EasyPass for quite a while. There are overhead gantries on the Thruway around the Albany area because there are major highways feeding into the thruway that are not toll, so these gantries catch people coming off...

I saw my first powerboost in captivity today. I am in Myrtle Beach for a while and I was in a residential area. While I was on the sidewalk , I heard a strange sound and I turned around to see a F-150 coming towards me uttering a weird sound. I thought there was a problem with it, but as it...

Hello everyone. This question is for anyone who has owned a vehicle with Sync 3 and its variants. My brother just purchased a 2020 Escape Titanium and when I was looking at it yesterday, I noticed on the screen that there is a menu for software updates. I clicked it and it shows auto updates...

Has anyone asked what it will cost to keep Bluecruise active once your free trial ends. I like it and would like to keep it, unless the cost is astronomical .

What prompts the truck to enter deep sleep mode ? Is it battery state of charge , inactivity over a set period of time or a combination of both? I am away on vacation and the truck sits at home connected to a battery tender. I received a message on Ford pass that my truck has entered deep sleep...

Does anyone have 18x8 wheels to fit an 2020 XLT Explorer. I believe wheels from 2015 and up will work. Thanks.
