I have done it twice in using them on six pickups. It isn’t really designed for regular removal. It can be done but becomes fragile when off, requires two people to put on, take off, or move around. Only takes five minutes because all adjustments remain in place. There are drain tubes that go...
The factory tire are not actual truck tires. They are optimized for mileage, not heavy use. For real towing, you need a high-ply, heavier, real truck tire. My OEM tire had less than 100 miles when I swapped them out. Also lost about 2 mpg - but THATs the trade off for real capability vs...
I traded the truck in July for the new Lightning, but the system was great, did a lot of towing. I had an equalizing hitch, so it wa likely overkill, but did guarantee level, stable ride all the time no matter what was back there. With full payload, I would use up to 40 psi (with the car...
I had many of the same issues - similar script - multiple service trips, Job 1 PowerBoost in the shop for two months, updates never stuck or operated correctly. The Ford customer care rep also suggested initiating a buyback and I was close to doing so in July when my new Lighting came in. The...
This is one of the more absurd threads ever on a forum. I just traded my 12,500-mile 2021 PowerBoost King ranch F-150 two weeks ago for my 2022 Platinum Lightning. Paid MSRP for the Lightning and received $2k more than I paid for the '21 PowerBoost from the original selling dealer ($69k trade...
Then you don't know me and LOTS of Tesla owners who hate the direct-to-consumer model. My Tesla sales and service experience (4x) has been dismal, much prefer the dealer model where you can actually work with a human, both in sales in service. Direct-to-consumer? No one there. Ever. By...
Ford initiated a buyback on my Project One truck today after six+ weeks in two separate dealerships that tried module updates, no success. VIN 1FTFW1ED6MFB43838
My truck has been at two Ford dealers who attempted to get Blue Cruise updates downloaded without success, one in Delray Beach for a month, with huge amounts of Ford tech support, and then two weeks at the Ford dealer in Melfa, Virginia, also with Ford tech support. It is also a Project One...
Same issue here. My truck has been at the dealer for ten days and counting. I can see that they are working on it, but today they called and said there is a software download problem, the tech is working with Ford to resolve, may be another week.
My truck is at Grieco in Delray Beach now for the BC install. It was built May 7, 2021 in Dearborn. They say it is an 11-hour job, with at least eight module updates, maybe more. They have a specialist "expert" trained in using the FDRS system. They have asked me to leave the truck there for...
I've had fixed and moving. Power running boards are the best feature I've ever had, right up there with tailgate bed step because they put the step right where you can actually use it, and get out of the way when you don't want it. But you can remove them easily and replace with trouser...
I took off the OEM Scorpions on the first day and switched to actual truck tires for this very reason. Also added air bags before bringing the truck home. We cannot increase axle or gross vehicle weight rating, but we can make the real world capacity higher by beefing up components. It does...
It is a really good part, tough to design given the amount of weight it must support and the awkward angle that it juts out to be useful. But they definitely need to fix the instructions - took me a couple tries - too many holes, bad pictures, no video. It all comes clear when you do get it...
I do. I started with airbags, but now set everything up with the WDH and then add 25 pounds to the airbags, which makes everything rock solid. It took a lot of tweaking, including $9k to convert my trailer, putting on dual electric-over-hydraulic brakes to accommodate the WDH, all rare for a...
There's a release button on the lower left dashboard that electronically opens the fuel door on PowerBoosts. You cannot open the PowerBoost fuel door manually or from the outside when the vehicle is locked - EXCEPT using the emergency release cable, which is hidden in the rear wheel well...
So you are including financing costs. Really can't do that. Also must exclude fees and taxes. I paid $5k below list for my ordered 2021 KR PB, about $77k plus taxes, fees, cash deal. Original MSRP was $82k, but I paid $77k plus fees. My dealer will give me that right now, cash or trade with...
I was referring to the specific early access program. Of course we all paid for BlueCruise and wish to have it ASAP. Separate issue. Mine is schedule for next week via dealership updates. They say it is ready. We shall see. Not expecting much compared to my Tesla FSD beta based on initial...
