Firm no for all the reasons already mentioned. They aren't necessary on an aluminum F150.

It's not necessarily the tracking as much as who is doing it. Yes, there is Google, Amazon, Apple, Samsung, Ford and all of the other huge companies doing it. But do you want some Chinese company no one really knows anything about tracking you? For me that's the issue.

I'm not aware of a video, but that was by far the worst part of the install for me. Use a coat hanger wire or something similar to feed it through. Just be patient. I did not take any part of the dash apart.

Both my nearest Walmart and Costco charge the same price for H7 and H8. No reason not to go H8 if it fits. I did not have to make any modifications to the wires to go from H6 to H8.

Well when I get my daughter out of the back seat, I get out, close my door, get her out and then push the lock button on the handle. It's a nice little feature that I use frequently. It would get annoying fast if there was a few second lag.

Got the new HSW installed in my '21 302a today. Everything seems to be working great. JScaro's harness and included instructions were a huge help, as was Scott Maxson's 302a specific instructions posted by fayby. The YouTube videos helped a lot as well. Even with the 302a specific ForScan...

Thank you for this awesome write-up from a fellow 302A owner! Reading this prompted me to check on the current prices for the steering wheel. Prices have suddenly dropped dramatically. I just pulled the trigger after lurking in these heated steering wheel threads for a while now. I was not...

Exactly what fordtruckman2003 said. Shop around on parts.ford.com. The last two orders I have placed included free FedEx shipping to my house. No minimum purchase amount, and no need to have it sent to a dealer.

The only setting I lost when I changed my battery was the instrument cluster layout. I had to arrange the gauges and "My View" back to the way I liked. All of the Bluetooth settings and radio presets were preserved.

Well this thread is getting off track, but I'd sure like to know how the Chinese military would overrun any of our borders. They're just going to sneak in hundreds of thousands of troops into Mexico or Canada without our military noticing? This isn't 1941.

Maybe your battery monitor isn't very accurate.

I am completely in favor of electric vehicles when it makes sense. Since I tow a travel trailer quite often in the summer, and then have about 6 months of cold weather, an all electric truck would not work at all for me. I agree that hybrid is the way to go until battery technology improves. I...

Hey that looks pretty familiar... I have a CTEK also.

As Snakebitten eluded to earlier, I wonder how much power is being consumed by the OTA process. These trucks are constantly communicating, whether it's with Ford's servers or Fordpass. Most of us now have these huge touchscreens that are using more power too. On top of all of that, Ford's crummy...

I just replaced mine with an H8 also. My battery blanket is not nearly as tight. I think the larger battery, while still an improvement, will just delay the inevitable. An F150 that sits for long periods and/or only takes short trips will drain the battery eventually. I plan to plug mine into a...

Everything that I have read has said there is no way to change the battery size in Forscan for the 2021+ trucks. Just the BMS reset is all that's needed. If you let the truck sit untouched for 8 hours, the BMS will reset itself. So you might not need to do anything at all after replacing the...

Great photos, thanks for sharing. I think the OP is using the block heater for its intended purpose. Cold starts are tougher on engines, and this will save wear and tear over the long term. It also will provide heat to the cab faster, which is nice. The manual says the block heater "allows the...

This is exactly why I chose not to buy one. I'm not putting some unknown Chinese company's app on my phone.

Bummer. I guess I got lucky. I would still go with an H8 without cover and just keep looking for one in stock. If your OCD is too powerful to overcome, an H7 would still be an upgrade.

You said before you ordered it. What happened? I received the one I ordered on Tuesday.
