Before declaring x-plan see if you can negotiate a lower price. As a point of comparison I negotiated $62.5k on a $74.5k MSRP truck a few months ago.

There is no electric water pump...yet. The 24's removed the BISG leaving only the water pump as belt driven. A few here have speculated that an electric water pump on a future model year would be a logical next step.

It's just amusing that out of the 7 factory delivered power train offerings in an F-150 including Supercharged 5.2L, Lightning, 3.5L EB HO, 3.5L PB, 3.5L EB, 5.0L Coyote, and 2.7L EB the 5.0L Coyote is the 2nd lowest on the list in terms of horsepower beating only the 2.7L EB. Note that I take...

There are a lot of grossly misinformed "pros" and techs in that video.

I encourage you to keep it. It is a safety feature that alerts bystanders that you are backing up. If you disable it then the odds of personal injury increase. If the injured party discovers you intentionally bypassed a safety device they may use it against you in a lawsuit. I wouldn't eliminate...

My 24 Ranger order was on a quality hold for 161 days after it went down the production line before they finally released and shipped it.

What's the combined peak torque of the tune? Stock is already close to the 10R80 rating so I'm curious how far past it this tune goes.

Make sure you top off your blinker fluid. If it's too low it will inhibit OTA updates.

I feel like the 4A transfer case should at least be an option on the XLTs.

I feel like you're being unfair to dumpsters by equating them to cybertrucks. At least dumpsters do what their designed to do and fulfill a vital public service. Cybertrucks...not so much :)

Here is a calculator. https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/electric-motor-torque Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the traction motor is between the ICE and the 10R80-MHT and directly connected 1:1 to the engine. Given that the minimum RPM of the traction motor is about 1000 RPM which...

If Ford really is committed to staying within the 800 Nm rating of the 10R80 then that pretty much eliminates the possibility of a tune for the PB's since they're already pushing the max rating as is. I realize the F-250 is heavier and limits its potential, but imagine the possibilities with a...

536 lb ft is 727 Nm. That is about 20% higher than the 10R60 rating. If the extrapolation holds the 10R80 might handle 710 lb ft.

When it first came out the battery for my 2015 Fusion Energi was $10k. Now they can be obtained for $4k. I think places like Greentec Auto will eventually carry the F-150 batteries for less than $1k. BTW...9 years and 135k miles with close to 2000 change/discharge cycles and my Fusion Energi...

The 2.5L Atkinson cycle engines in the other Ford hybrid offerings is rock solid. They're only 150 HP and 150 lb ft of torque, but that's plenty if only using it as a generator. You could add a coolant loop to heat the cabin in the winter so that you aren't wasting your HVB charge.

Mine does this about once per week. It always reboots and fixes itself though.

The most important thing is to run Top Tier fuel. No, neither Walmart nor Sam's Club are top tier compliant. Costco, however, is Top Tier compliant. The engine will run fine with any octane 87 or higher. The higher the octane the more torque/power the engine will produce. You may observe higher...

Another way to think about it is how much money you can make off the capital Ford is willing to lend to you. I get $821 per $10000 financed of cash in your pocket based on the spread of the 0% you pay to Ford and the 5.2% a money market fund will pay you over a period of 36m. If MM rates decline...

Another consideration....it is not uncommon for MPG to increase throughout the break-in period. Put 1000 miles on it with a good mix of city and highway driving and see what happens after that. This will also serve as your training period using the EV coach to help you, as the drive, understand...

If you still have the OEM battery it is advised that you change it out and reset the BMS. There are a lot of threads in this forum (and others) documenting bad OEM batteries. Many people are reporting that going to a high quality aftermarket unit solved a lot of problems.
