  1. Recall: #24E04 - Anyone have any more info on it?

    I just noticed this recall, when checking Ford Pass yesterday. Called the dealer, left a message, no word back yet. Truck seems fine but ...
  2. Engine Cooling / Towing

    I don't have pics and no means to numerical values other than gauge position but I did reconfigure the gauges to show coolant and trans temps for a 5K mile towing trip, of a 7K camper across the Rockies and back. Up to ~12k in elevation? Tow Haul Mode. On the first part of the trip, I messed...
  3. What tools do you keep in your truck?

    Re carry on, air compressor. I see the temptation to have a small tanked compressor but I don't see it being worth the space or weight for me. I have an ancient, 12V Campbell Hausfeld, that tucks under the rear seat and so far, has never let us down. If I was going to replace it, the new...
  4. Regular vs Premium Gasoline

    I'm old enough to remember calling it Ethel. People bitch about ethanol in fuel but insist on using premium :) On a recent, 10 state, 5K mile trip, I found that fuel types and blends are pretty highly locale dependent and not every pump, has 3 or more choices. Some had blends I'd never even...
  5. Was the GEN13 a better looking exterior?

    I prefer the looks of the sleeker versions but I came from an 01 so ....
  6. Auto hold Feature - like it or no?

    I wish mine did. I won't say it delivers a whiplash type lurch but it is more than overriding the auto parking brake and more than getting past the auto hold when using adaptive cruise. Maybe some of the widely varied MPG results? Some trucks produce different results?
  7. Auto hold Feature - like it or no?

    If it didn't take so much throttle to disengage it I'd like it but since it does, mine is off, from early days. I do like the auto parking brake though.
  8. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    Thats remarkable. What are your tricks?
  9. sway control

    Interested in the replies you get. I'm just familiar enough with the loading chart, to know it exists but haven't strayed from stamped max cold, or tire sticker on the trailer. I also haven't turned off sway control but am curious about that. I've seen where some claim it can be beneficial to...
  10. Regenerative braking question / mpg

    I can hear the brake system and could from new. Sitting in park, there is definite sound, when pressing the brake. In motion as well and I have the Megaohm remote delete. When in full electric, the drive system makes a typical electric vehicle sound (golf cart). When in regen braking, there...
  11. Upgraded tow mirrors: yes or no?

    I ordered mine without TMs, because I already knew I was going to use a 3 camera system on my travel trailer. Don't need em, don't want em. No regrets at all.
  12. Exceeding expectations

    Home from the trip. Exceeding Expectations, still applies. More than 5 weeks and near 5K miles, most of it dry camping, so PPOB was used frequently, when aircon was needed. According to the computer, avg. towing mileage was in the 8s, though a couple legs were sub 7. A couple in the lower...
  13. Service from Granger?

    The good. Called for the appointment and they got me in and out, on that appointed day. No issues with what they did. The not so great. Its what they didn't do. A communication mix up I guess. I wanted more than just and oil change and tire rotation. Made clear to the order taker, that I was...
  14. "Connected Built-In Navigation" Expiring

    What do you use? What is a must have for me, is trailer safe routing. G Maps doesn't have it. AA doesn't have it unless via extension of RVTW or the like. Ford Nav has it and Garmin can have it but I don't want another monitor for Garmin. Not sure if any of them, other than Ford or Google...
  15. "Connected Built-In Navigation" Expiring

    Where was this and how long ago? We're about 3Kmiles in on a 4K trip and when it has reliable signal, it is my preferred. They all get glitchy once in a while and there are similar horror stories about Google / Android. At some time or another on this trip, we've used RV Trip Wizard, Google...
  16. "Connected Built-In Navigation" Expiring

    Whether its worth it or not, depends on how you use the truck and if you already have a Garmin or not. Daily driver with an infrequent road trip? Anything on the phone will do, just fine. Towing across the country, to unfamiliar places? Good to have in your back pocket. On our current, 4K+...
  17. Service from Granger?

    Lots of people here have bought trucks from Granger Ford, as did I. The experience and pricing, couldn't have been better but has anyone had service done there? We're deep into a 4K+ mile trip with our TT and the timing and routing, will be about right to have the truck's 10K mile service done...
  18. Exceeding expectations

    Other than when the 600ah battery bank in the camper was already somewhat discharged and or, when I let a neighboring camper plug into the A side of the PPOB, while I was running the AC on the B, the truck has cycled on and off as intended, making it the most efficient and for sure, quietest...
  19. Exceeding expectations

    All else being equal and everything in good repair, your Air Stream should tow like a dream. No worries.
  20. Exceeding expectations

    Grand Tetons. Super nice, morning and eve but the sun is brutal in the afternoon. PPOB providing aircon then and the built in Hot Spot, providing signal. Tmobile's map claims coverage but they're stretching it. Oh and Ford's nav works better here too. Including Forest Service roads that the goog...
