  1. Eco vs Normal drive mode

    I've noticed no real difference between the two on my 5.0. Sometimes I put it in ECO to make the display green instead of blue, that's the most noticeable difference! Sometimes I put it in Sport because I like the way it sounds.
  2. Ford Connected Services

    I don't have BlueCruise, but do subscribe to other connected services. I like using the Alexa (that itself is on a free trial but premium connectivity is required for advanced features. I like to use that to ask random questions about places I'm travelling through ("Alexa, tell me about...")...
  3. Low Battery Charge?

    I will say that despite the things not working as they should, my truck always starts up and I frequently only start it once a week. The battery management system does work as far as shutting things down to make sure there's enough power to start it.
  4. Low Battery Charge?

    Thank you all for your thoughts... I did purchase a battery maintainer that I mounted next to the battery so I can just plug it in when I get home. I'll leave it plugged in for a couple days and see what happens. Hopefully this battery is not too far gone, it's only a year old and this issue...
  5. Low Battery Charge?

    Hopefully the dealer can confirm this when I go in for my next oil change and replace the battery again. I wish I knew what was causing the drain. Last time my truck spent 2 months at the dealer and my rental was a 2-door Honda Civic.
  6. Low Battery Charge?

    My truck is exhibiting symptoms of a low battery charge. The most obvious is the auto start/stop isn't working. When I view that in the menu, it always says "vehicle on due to battery charging". I normally only drive the truck 2-3 days per week. Until a couple weeks ago, it has been fine...
  7. Backup camera recall gone from FordPass

    I received the same update recently, but the recall is still listed in the app.
  8. Can the Coyote take full synthetic oil? Manual only mentions Synthetic Blend

    I purchased the 100,000 mile prepaid service including full synthetic when I bought mine new. It's had full synthetic since the first oil change at 1000 miles and I'm at 75,000 with no issues so far.
  9. True Full Screen CarPlay

    True full screen would be nice. In my 2016 Escape with Sync 3, carplay is full screen (although a much smaller screen). There is a Ford "app" icon on the carplay screen that reverts to the sync screen should I need to access something there like climate control or radio.
  10. Looking for advice on the 5.0

    I have just over 70,000 on my 21, and have had no mechanical issues. I replaced the spark plugs at my last service, as recommended. Other than that, just oil changes. I follow all the recommended service intervals since i prepaid for all service up to 100,000. My only out of pocked expense...
  11. Dash Cam Installation Precautions

    I installed a dash cam in my truck last week. The cord is very thin and I was able to tuck it out of sight without removing any trim. It went in above the headliner, and inside the pillar on the windshield side. With the door open, I tucked behind the rubber weatherstrip and it comes out...
  12. PREMIUM MAINTENANCE PLAN QUESTION

    I have the 7500 interval plan with full synthetic. Almost 70,000 mile in, and the only thing I've paid for is tires. I had the spark plugs changed at 60,000 (per the service schedule). I do have to ask for the wipers each time, but they are covered.
  13. Reverse Brake Assist Not Available- See Manual

    I get the same message occasionally, it usually goes away the next time I drive. I've noticed it happening after I've been through a car wash in the cold weather and there may be a bit of ice on one of the sensors. Sometimes it's obvious if I'm driving in the snow and a sensor gets covered.
  14. Engine Battery

    I just had my battery changed for the second time last week. In both cases, by battery wasn't holding a charge. I still believe there is some sort of drain on the battery that causes it to fail but if Ford wants to throw a new battery in every year or so then so be it. The truck is 3 years...
  15. Can someone please tell me what this button next to start/stop does?

    Mine use to work on my 21. I used to use it when my niece was in the back seat while going through the car wash so she could watch it on the "TV". It hasn't worked in over a year.
  16. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    Could someone check my truck? The reason I ask is that I am once again getting the same symptoms I had previously with the battery seeming to be in a constantly low state. The most obvious symptom is the auto start/stop not working "engine on due to vehicle charging" I have to drive a few...
  17. Plastic Windshield wiper trough holds water on drivers side..,

    I was having the same issue with my 21 until I found the drain holes. Now I keep them clear and it seems to drain fine. My issue was filling up with soapy water that was then blasted all over the truck by the dryers exiting the car wash.
  18. Spark plugs

    I was supposed to have mine replaced at my 60,000 service per the manual but my dealer didn’t have any in stock and wouldn’t be able to get them in for a couple of days. I’ll have them changed with the next oil change. It’s covered by my extended service plan.
  19. 2021 XLT camera button not working

    Mine does not work either. I used to , but then stopped last year after an update happened. My 4 year old niece used to like watching the car wash on the "TV".
  20. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    The last few days I drove the truck it was resetting almost every time I started it. Previously it only did it at what seemed like random times. I normally only drive the truck 2 or 3 days a week, I have a second, older vehicle that I put most of my commuting miles on. I'm just concerned...
