I'm in the date range and have the lack of brake effort/pedal travel problem. Some days on freeway it was not a fun truck to drive as I'd have to brake way early to not rear end cars in front. On one occasion I had to swerve lanes as it just wouldn't stop
Yea it was one of the top items I was looking for when I shopped around (Payload capacity was #1).
On Monday i'll be starting a trip from San Antonio to Mountain Home ID.
I'll have my Yamaha in the bed and pulling my ~8000lb Grand Designs TT.
As discussed elsewhere, are there LED lamps on the trailer? Ford's whole trailer system relies on power draw to determine if a trailer is connected. LEDs draw less of a load than normal incandescent bulbs. I had this same issue on my 2019 Super Duty with my 2019 Imagine trailer that had LEDs...
So the part #s for the tow mirrors are published, but like everything 2021 F150 related, they are on national backorder. I saw a video that had someone add 2020 Tow Mirrors to their 2021 but with some slight modification to the mirrors. Has anyone else gone that route? There are no aftermarket...
Keep in mind that the higher trims that add heavier options all eat into the baseline payload.
My XL/STX CCLB (sticker below) has 1990lbs of payload. I do have the Trailer Tow package which you will need as a minimum. Without it you are actually limited (on tow guide) to 7,000lbs towing...
For Mother's day I drove from San Antonio to Ft Worth with cruise set at 70 (even in 75 zones due to wet roads) I averaged almost 25 mpg. Once I hit Ft Worth and had to get off cruise and deal with traffic it went down a smidge. 36gal tank oh yeah!
I don't see a relay for it in either the under hood fuse box or the smaller one in the cab. My STX w/tow tech has fuses in the correct location.
If your trailer has LED lights there might be an issue where there isn't enough load on the smart trailer system and you'd have to tell it you have a...
Today I picked up a new '21 XL/STX and Android Auto is not functioning the same way it did for me on my Sync 3 F250.
Previously while running Android Auto, I could hit the "voice command" button on the steering wheel and google assistant would take my command to navigate, call, tune, etc.
With...
Today I picked up a '21 CCLB XL/STX/FX4/SPORT 3.5 EcoBoost. It was actually the 2nd one I picked out. The 1st threw a CEL before I even got off the dealer lot.
I traded in a 2019 F250/6.2 for more than I paid (42k trade/41k buy).
