I live at the junction of I-10 and I-25, so BC is available when I go to the grocery store. I use it without hesitation whenever the truck tells me it is available. Where it is available, it works well and is a great improvement over simpler lane keeping assist features that I have had in...

Ours has attracted some complements from the back seat, and caused no trouble - SFSG ('23 Platinum). In the New Mexico sun, I only get to see it for a few months in mid-winter, but those are pretty awesome. When it gets warm, the motorized interior shade gets called for but it works well. I...

IMO, right now, ICE (or better yet, hybrid) trucks solve for road trips, particularly while towing bigger things, and longer commutes, particularly in cold weather. Last week I got invited to order the Cybertruck that I've been waiting for, for years. Unlike the LIghting, it would have met my...

I got about 6.5 MPG at one point, when I first towed our new Winnebago 2327TB (about 6,500lbs at the time, and about 11.5 feet tall) home from Texas with our '23 Powerboost. There seemed to be a number of contributing factors: - lower octane fuel - High winds, much of 'em headwinds -...

- yup, that is by design. They call it a "converter" instead of a charger because it has the functionality you describe. You can pull the battery out of your travel trailer (or open the battery switch) and all your 12V stuff will run fine, as long as the converter is getting AC power. I...

When I ordered my '23 PB, I too had spent a lot of time reading here and felt that I was making a bet. I would be betting very specifically that the truck that showed up would be done right, end to end, and I wouldn't need much of the obviously-dismal, current-day excuses for warranty service...

I just got back from a trip between Las Cruces and San Diego, pretty much the whole length of I-8 and a bit of 10, about 1500 miles all-in. During part of that trip, we drove through the edge of tropical storm Hillary, just outside of Yuma, AZ. There were cross-wind gusts up to maybe 70mph...

We have a '23 Powerboost Max Tow, 5.5 foot bed, with a Winnebago Minnie that weighs 6,000lb dry. Compared to running an F-250 with a diesel, for example, this is a compromise in one significant way, I think. I manage the cargo capacity problem with great care because it would be easy to go...

Best guess is that you''re right - the truck can't find the hitch ball using the tailgate camera. I have no real-world experience but wonder if there's a second hole the square tube that slides into the receiver, that you could run the hitch pin through instead. Maybe a different angle...

Put a graphene coating on my Lomax carbon fiber tonneau cover... Here it is half-done: This wasn't the smartest place to pause for a comparison photo, but a little elbow grease ensured that I didn't have a weird line, at the end of the day, in the center panel. I took the tonneau off...

Ugh. The whole "active steering" thing makes me sad. It is also called (I think more appropriately) "adaptive steering". This is separate and apart from "electronic steering" which is essential to letting the wheel be turned by the truck (e.g. for the BlueCruise and trailer backup assist...

Good point - I didn't think to take any yesterday. I think they fit in really well with Ford's choices for the Platinum BAP interior. I used a few of the provided clips to hold them down in spots, but not many. They do cover up most of the carpet, but since we'll have dogs in here I think...

I put in the Tuxmats today. So glad folks here were talking about them! The valet at Ruth's Chris will be appropriately impressed.

Hey just a quick shout-out for @WoodlandSK - this new-to-me RAS arrived quickly, as-described, and thoughtfully packed so as to not destroy its own box in transit. In fact that box had Builtright industries logos all over it, which ended up making me smile. I had just ordered a stubby antenna...

Theoretically, as long as every load on each of four outlets in that second cord is actually always under 15A, you would be fine and would achieve your objective. 15A * 120V * 4 outlets = 7200 watts. However the truck's circuit breaker isn't going to protect you if, for example, you end up...

Pretty sure he doesn't have adaptive steering. They won't let you order that on any 2023 F150, unless something has changed very recently. Doesn't matter what trim you bought in early '23 - Ford deleted the heated steering wheel for you. I just got my '23 Platinum, loaded up like a Limited...

Our Platinum PB BAP just arrived in Las Cruces!

Well, it's only been a few days shy of six months, including two just sitting around at Dearborn, but the truck ('23 platinum powerboost BAP) is finally in my grubby hands! The local dealer tells me this is actually the first BAP they've sold. I spent a couple of hours on the lot, running...

After getting a new ETA window from the dealer today (starts yesterday, ends in less than a week, so that's just nonsense) and confirming that online tracking still shows it to be in Dearborn, I decided to call Ford for the first time. Interesting conversation, sort of. The rep was very polite...
