I was noodling around in the menu displays on my 2024 KR and found this. How the hell did my truck accumulate 23 hours idling time? I have less than 8000 km, and almost all of that is highway. I’d be surprised if I’ve even idled a couple of hours. Dealer has no answer

Ford calculates Idle hours as Engine ON + Vehicle not moving (speed = 0).

Basically anytime you're out driving around and stop at a light, stop sign etc. the truck ticks time towards idle time.

Is that ignition ON or engine Running?

IOW, does the 'clock stop' when Auto Stop kicks-in at a stop light?

I don't have ASS (2022 factory delete), at ~15,600 miles my idle time is almost 19% of engine hours vs the OP's 17%.

I know I add-up engine running in Park idle hours using the 12V power port for various things.

They accumulate only when the engine itself is running and at zero vehicle speed, when stopped at a light or parked. When in accessory mode, ignition-on but engine-off, or battery-only operation including hybrid electric mode, if the engine is not running during these run states then they do not count toward idle hours.

That's how Ford has calculated it for as long as I can remember at least.

Most of the kilometres on the truck are highway.

Appreciate the responses. Since most of my usage is highway, 1380 minutes seems excessive. More curious than anything else, wondering what happened before I took delivery.
