  1. Driver’s side seatback has a beer belly! Something broke inside?

    A quick update. Before I even got a chance to open up the seatback to see what was going on, it “fixed” itself, at least for now. When I got home from work Friday, I stopped at the end of the driveway to check the mail. As I got out, I turned off the massage seat, which prompted the lumbar...
  2. Driver’s side seatback has a beer belly! Something broke inside?

    Thanks for the tip, I will check it out this weekend and report back what I find.
  3. Driver’s side seatback has a beer belly! Something broke inside?

    This is the driver’s side seatback. I just noticed it today. I have noticed that the massage seat for my back has felt weak lately compared to when I first got the truck. The butt massage portion still feels the same as when new. Here is the passenger side for comparison. It appears that the...
  4. 2024 rough transition

    This exactly. When I am more aggressive with the throttle, the transmission shifts overall are smoother, and it shifts to second gear instead of the 1-3 skip from a stop. From a stop, the engine will start almost immediately as well, instead of starting off with the electric motor first. If I...
  5. Ford Pass V5.12.0 Climate Controls

    And to add, we paid a large premium for these trucks, that have features we wanted and were willing to pay for, only to have some random update essentially stop said features from working as before the update. First world problems still suck when we paid for them, and they quit working.
  6. Ford Pass V5.12.0 Climate Controls

    I tried changing the settings, turning off the truck, restarting the truck then putting my settings back on last settings used/auto/auto. No bueno. They still won’t work if I remote start the truck using the fob. Before the damn update, they ALWAYS worked. It absolutely freaking sucks that they...
  7. Ford Pass V5.12.0 Climate Controls

    Absolutely agree! Especially when they DID work BEFORE the damn update killed them. And for those of us with the battery saver mode gremlin, the app is all but useless most of the time. But I have always been able to remote start with the fob. And now the heated seats and wheel do not turn on...
  8. Rust on brand new 2025 Platinum

    My 24 KR has the rusty rear axle and some rust on various suspension components. Yet the 22 XLT 302a I had prior had no rust at all on the rear axle. I see SonarChief's 24 KR has no rust at all. It all seems so random, some get rusty parts, others get spotless undercarriages, even from the same...
  9. Ford Pass V5.12.0 Climate Controls

    Trust me, you do not want the new update, your heated seats won't work with remote start anymore!
  10. Ford Pass V5.12.0 Climate Controls

    I see that I'm not the only one that the latest "update" broke my damn heated seats/heated steering wheel turning on with remote start. And now the climate control always defaults to automatic, which sucks because the fan speed is always low, so my windshield is only partially defrosted when I...
  11. Powerboost - 12V Battery Drain things to think about

    The fan speed 5 hack worked for me...... for about a month. Now the f*%^ing "battery saver mode" a$$hole is back, AGAIN! Even with the truck being driven almost daily. With at least one or two longer drives per week mixed in. As much as I hate to buy a new aftermarket battery for a new 78K...
  12. 2025 king ranch orders.

    Congrats on a beautiful truck. The picture of your truck is the first time I have seen the marsh gray. I think I agree with you, I'm not sure I like the color, but I would have to see it in person to know for sure. Hopefully, you will start to like it over time. If not, you could always have the...
  13. Bad 12V battery after 3 years

    Ever since the last battery saver mode fit my truck threw, I have been keeping my fan speed no lower than 5, unless I am on a drive that is 30 minutes or longer. If it gets too hot, rather than drop the fan speed lower, like I used to, I just turn the temperature down. So far, the battery...
  14. Just how much is missing from 2025 KR?

    My 24 KR didn't come with the boxlink. But I have the old plates and cleats from the 22 XLT 302a I traded for the KR. The 22 didn't come with boxlink, either. The plates and cleats I have are from the 2019 XLT 302a I traded for the 2022. The 2019 had the bed utility package. Luckily, I noticed...
  15. Making the 'Lie-O-Meter' more 'honest' (Average Fuel Economy display)

    Wow, my truck's lie-o-meter is off a good 3 mpg vs hand calculated. It consistently is "over optimistic" with the mpg's. I guess I will give this a try. Thanks Buyer 2021!
  16. 2023 f150 defrost on right side mostly

    This has been an issue on both my current truck and the 2022 XLT 302a I had. The XLT obviously didn't have HUD, but my current 24 KR does. The HUD does seem to make it worse, but the XLT wasn't much better. I think it has to do with the design of the defroster ducts, the airflow on the passenger...
  17. Ford recall on batteries for Bronco Sport & Maverick

    This just adds credence that our F150’s have junk batteries from the factory. Virtually everyone that has had the battery saver mode problem, and replaced the junk Ford battery with ANY aftermarket one, has reported that alone fixed the “deep sleep” issues. I can see a new aftermarket battery...
  18. 2025 Platinum Plus 703A

    That's interesting, my sunglasses are Oakleys, and are polarized, and I can see the HUD just fine. But my sunglasses are several years old. If yours are newer, maybe they used a different process to polarize yours? This is my first vehicle with HUD, and at first I thought cool, but what's the...
  19. Seeking Towing Specifics for all 2024-2025 King Ranch Owners (with PowerBoost engine)

    My 24 KR is close to your specs, it does have the max tow axle. It has the FX4, so not an exact comparison. The payload rating is 1282 lbs. I am not at my truck right now, but if I remember correctly, the max tow rating is well above the numbers you gave for what you tow. The limiting factor for...
  20. Adaptive cruise question.

    The speed limit that is displayed on the IPC and HUD is often wrong, at least on my truck. For example, there is a four mile stretch of the road I live on that the truck shows 30 mph, when in reality the speed limit is 40 mph. When I cross that 40 mph speed limit sign, the truck temporarily...
