12/13 Build Week

[Antimatter_KingRanch]

In the words of Inigo Montoya..

?


Congrats!!!!


Congrats!!! - glad it went well. Nice Pics - Thanks!

And check those fuses!


Last delivery to the dealer for build week 12/13. I know it's confusing since I post the list for both weeks in both weeks.

But it's okay because I identify as being in both weeks.
You know, maybe I can buy a Powerball ticket and identify as being the winner.

I always say that I like answering easy questions. I think yours is a really (really) hard question. Wonder if there's a correlation there?

My problem, as @Gman61 pointed out, appeared to be moisture. I couldn't check it till this morning, and it did not act up on the ride to work or back, so it must have had something to do with the very little mud I went through and then time drying out to correct it. I'm thinking the sensors may not be protected as well as they should be.

But on a more serious note - where is your truck at now? Still at the dealer? (for how long)? What are you seeing in other PBs and their resolutions?

I'm glad yours worked out. The sensors on my last truck would get blocked a lot in snow/mud; I haven't driven this one much but I'm assuming it'll be the same.

For what it's worth, we have the same problem on our Genesis. Sensors will get blocked by snow and mud ?‍


I'm not surprised @Ford Motor Company didn't answer; because they have no idea what's causing this issue.

I have my truck back, they couldn't find anything. Basically they disconnected the batteries for a hard shut down and it worked after that. They drove it several times over a few days after that, no issues. I haven't had it come back (yet), but still very discerning to not have an answer.

The dealer even got a Ford field tech to come look at it. But still found nothing.

I've seen ~10 people in a Facebook group talking about it so far. Not huge, but it's a new truck... All the same problems at startup, lingers for a while (SEVERAL re-starts, sitting, idling....) and then apparently goes away. No dealer or anyone at Ford has come up with an explanation.

Oh and my reverse brake assist errors every few days, but I'm holding out hope it calms down a bit now that they re-aimed the tailgate camera.

When she's working, it's a beautiful truck and I enjoy it. Trying to focus on that.

[906Yooper]

Without any unforeseen changes to our plans, Saturday is the date that the 'soon?' can be changed to 'X'. 2nd in line with Chip on Saturday morning.

 

[blend date]

Couple questionsuestion for you guys.

1. Power Tailgate remote down (via fob) doesn't work unless the vehicle is unlocked and I have opened a door first. Then and only then will the fob lower and raise the tailgate. This seems counterintuitive if I'm coming out of Lowe's or whatever and wanting to lower the tailgate to load the box. Are you all seeing the same behavior?

2. My 2022 didn't come with the Pro-Trailer backup assist cable and box that mounts permanently to the tongue of a trailer as I'm seeing on the videos. My dealer says that Ford started having problems with those boxes and went back to the stickers to align the trailers to the Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Can any of you confirm? Did your 22's come with the box or stickers? EDIT: Found out they did revert back to stickers, here is an article explaining: https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07...ford-f-150-pro-trailer-backup-assist-changes/

Also FWIW 90% of my fused needed to be completely seated, much like everyone else. Thanks for any insight. Loving the truck so far but still so much to learn.

I agree with the learning & I did learn something neat today with NAV. Had to route a different way home than normal. Used Ford NAV to take me there. As I'm driving the route, I switched to Android Auto (I had that on my old truck and current phone) and was able to zoom out and see traffic to verify my route was not an issue.

I've found with Android Auto that a route will usually make it difficult to see traffic along the route path. (In case I want to 2nd guess what traffic will be like when I get to a particular road section.) Having the two to switch between allowed me to see that info clearly.

Good to hear - safe trip!

I can test the power remote tailgate tomorrow. I have used it with the doors unlocked, after I let someone inside to see the truck (unlocked the doors, opened then closed a door, then powered down the tailgate via the fob). I have not tried it with the doors locked - but that's a good test and a logical use.

I agree with the learning & I did learn something neat today with NAV. Had to route a different way home than normal. Used Ford NAV to take me there. As I'm driving the route, I switched to Android Auto (I had that on my old truck and current phone) and was able to zoom out and see traffic to verify my route was not an issue.

I've found with Android Auto that a route will usually make it difficult to see traffic along the route path. (In case I want to 2nd guess what traffic will be like when I get to a particular road section.) Having the two to switch between allowed me to see that info clearly.

Mine works while locked @blend date. Works when it's been sitting locked, just tried hitting the lock button twice then open & closed my tailgate while it's in my garage. No issue.

I did have to adjust my tonneau cover to make it work when I first put it on. It was too far over the tailgate and the sensors saw it as being blocked and wouldn't lower.

I locked mine while in the garage (lock button once) and it let me remote open the tailgate.

Anyone use BlueCruise yet or is it not available? Or am I confused?

 

[plancjo]

Anyone use BlueCruise yet or is it not available? Or am I confused?

I have used it several times with my platinum. It is only available on certain roads. You just turn on cruise and then after a few seconds the control panel becomes blue and says hands free. It is kind of annoying because if you look away for a few seconds it beeps at you and tells you to look ahead. It good for eating and quickly grabbing something but not sending an email or a long text.

OK. Thanks for the info! Nothing has to be activated or anything? I seem to remember when Ford first announced it that this was a subscription? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Definitely not good for max recline and sleeping.

Mine works on rural parts of the interstate. On the "In town" interstate, so far, it has dropped out and said you drive through this @#$% traffic mess.

OK. Thanks for the info! Nothing has to be activated or anything? I seem to remember when Ford first announced it that this was a subscription? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Nothing was needing to be activated on mine, but I did get (pay for) the option for it. I just needed to set cruise control to "on", set lane keeping to "on" and then "set" the cruise control speed. All these buttons are on the steering wheel on the left side. It took me a while to figure it out. It actually worked on a two lane state road for about 500 feet (BlueCruise Activated or something) and then yelled at me to put my hands back on the steering wheel.

Did your Limited have it as an option or part of the standard package?


Heeeyyy - aren't we expecting a 3 AM delivery story and pictures from you?

 

[Steeler]

Mine works on rural parts of the interstate. On the "In town" interstate, so far, it has dropped out and said you drive through this @#$% traffic mess.

Nothing was needing to be activated on mine, but I did get (pay for) the option for it. I just needed to set cruise control to "on", set lane keeping to "on" and then "set" the cruise control speed. All these buttons are on the steering wheel on the left side. It took me a while to figure it out. It actually worked on a two lane state road for about 500 feet (BlueCruise Activated or something) and then yelled at me to put my hands back on the steering wheel.

Did your Limited have it as an option or part of the standard package?


Heeeyyy - aren't we expecting a 3 AM delivery story and pictures from you?

LOL. That's all like a haze now. What a crazy night.

Thanks for the info Rotty! Yes, that all comes standard with the Limited. I'm going to check it out this weekend.

I locked mine while in the garage (lock button once) and it let me remote open the tailgate.

Problem solved, thanks fellas. Clearly I'm a noob. I must've just been standing too close to the tailgate and didn't realize there is a sensor that won't allow it to open in too close proximity of something it could hit upon lowering.

I dunno, it look me a while to get the rhythm of the double press - I have to kind of hold the second press for half a second before it registers
