  1. Installed Bilstein 6112/5160s on my Powerboost: DIY instructions, tips, impressions

    Hey all. A few months ago I installed some 5160s on the rear and they definitely solved the bounce problem and helped the ride of the truck quite a bit. Now that the 6112s came out, I figured I'd give them a try. I ordered them from ShockSurplus assembled with the top mounts and installed them...
  2. ProPower espresso machine

    This may seem completely stupid, but I often find myself in search of a quick espresso after my early morning workout or in the afternoon. Either I'm not close to a coffee shop, don't have the time, or the coffee at work just sucks. So I'm going to buy a small espresso machine for my truck. I...
  3. Front camera alignment issue

    Per the photo below, I have an alignment issue with my right front camera. I think this started when they removed the bumper to fix the active air dam. Has anyone else had this, and is it possible to fix without a trip to the dealer? If not, I'll just have them do it when I bring it in for the...
  4. Experience with Blue Cruise

    I received the OTA updates that enabled Blue Cruise for me last week. I had a chance to drive from the NorCal Bay Area Peninsula to Lake Tahoe and back this week, traveling mostly on the 101 and 80 through Sacramento. My experience with Blue Cruise was generally good. Here are some...
  5. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    I just received this email, with instructions to change the OTA update times. Anyone else go through this and have Bluecruise installed this way? I'm looking forward to getting it rolling.
  6. Unleashed: Stereo or Surround mode?

    Which do you like better? I noticed the headrest speakers work in both modes, btw. I think Stereo sounds better.
  7. 2.4.1 update completely broke CarPlay

    I just received the 2.4.1 update. It completely broke CarPlay. I even tried to delete this truck on the phone and reinstall it. Nothing. I use this all the time. Bluetooth doesn’t work either. They both worked fine before the update. Any ideas how to fix this?
  8. Generally poor assembly quality

    I like my 2021 Powerboost and have had few mechanical problems so far. But I have to say the assembly quality of this truck is weak, and *way* behind the several GMs I've owned. - Passenger side door didn't close flush. I had to adjust it myself. - Rough paint on passenger side door. Wasn't...
  9. Bilstein 4600 or 5100 for stock ride height

    Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading shocks on my 2021 PowerBoost 4WD. Very little off-road driving. Just highway and snow. Stock ride height, Yokohama G015 Geolandars. Either the 4600 or 5100, which I know is for 0-2.5" lift, but looks so much better. I'd greatly appreciate any commentary from...
  10. Rear carpet floor mat question

    I have a SuperCrew Lariat with a black interior and the folding underseat storage. I like the look and feel of good carpet mats and use the rubber ones that came with the truck only when I take it to the mountains or camping. So I bought a set of front and rear Lloyd Ultimat mats. The front ones...
  11. Apple Maps turn indicator in instrument cluster

    I received an OTA update last night and now have turn-by-turn indicators on the instrument cluster when using Apple Maps on CarPlay. It's pretty cool. It makes the speedo and tach smaller (similar to what I think Blue Cruise does) and it has the turn-by-turn indicator in the center of the screen...
  12. K02s on Powerboost

    I'm going to jet the stock Pirelli ATRs on my Powerboost Lariat to get something better for the snow. Although I live in NorCal, where it doesn't snow, I'll be going up to Tahoe 5-10x per year, and it can be extreme there. I'm deciding between BFG K02s and Cooper AT3 4s. I realize they're...
  13. State of charge 12v battery low issue

    I was traveling for a week. I noticed in FordPass while I was away the truck went into deep sleep mode after only about 2-3 days of not being driven. When I returned and started the truck this morning, I got an error on the main dash cluster that said "State of charge 12v battery low." The truck...
  14. California FS: OEM Pirelli Scorpion ATR 275-60/20 RWL, 7.3k miles, Northern Cal (San Mateo)

    I am changing out my OEM Pirelli Scorpion ATR 275-60/20 RWL with 7.3k miles for tires with better snow capabilities, as I'll be in Tahoe a lot of the winter. These are great tires in perfect condition, worn evenly, no curb rubs or anything. They ride very well but just won't be that great in...
  15. Forscan high beam speed setting

    Is there any way to adjust the speed at which the auto high beams come on? It’s set at 32 from the factory but I’d like it lower. Thanks.
  16. Sirus preset problems

    I hadn't driven my truck for a week. When I started it up today, the list of Sirius presets along the bottom were populated by stations I never listen to (and actively dislike). Strangely, when I went into Browse > Rock stations, my saved preset stations were still highlighted, each with a star...
  17. Snow tires or Scorpions?

    I’m really looking for thoughts from people who drive their 4x4 F-150s in snow on all seasons. My Lariat (4x4) came equipped with the Scorpion ATRs, which I think are all season and not M&S. I live in NorCal and don’t need anything more extreme for my daily driving, as it doesn’t snow here. It...
  18. BBB settlement for rusty axle issue

    Like several others here, I had a rusty axle and also some of the exhaust components on my F-150 (especially one resonator). Long story short: I filed a case with the BBB, explaining this isn't normal on a $70k new truck and simply requesting that Ford repairs the rust and replaces rusty...
  19. Hi-res lossless/24-bit music over wireless CarPlay seems to work

    We know Apple upgraded its music service so many albums are Hi-res/lossless, encoded at 24-bit and either a 96kHz or 192 kHz sample rate. Apple isn't completely transparent about what systems can actually play hi-res/lossless, but, from what I've read, wireless CarPlay uses WiFi for the link...
  20. American flag trim, small thing

    I know it’s a stupid small thing but my passenger side American flag trim is misaligned. I’ve heard this is a common problem. Someone on the forum suggested you just push it in to straighten it but I tried and couldn’t get it to move. Does anyone know how to fix this, or how it comes off? If I...
