I have the 7.2kW Pro Power, so my dash AC plug is the 20A one with the reset breaker instead of the 12VDC power port (AKA cigarette lighter). I would like to add some dash accessories (trailer camera display, GoPro) and provide 12VDC power to them. Does anyone know if my dash wiring harness...

I have a 2021 7.2kW Pro Power Powerboost, so I have the higher wattage 120V plug in the dash with the circuit breaker instead of a power port (AKA cigarette lighter). I want to add a Built Right dash mount system, and would like to directly wire the devices I mount there. Does anyone know if my...

After my last update, and while wasting time in a line, I started poking around to see if anything new snuck in with the 6.8.0 update. I found something curious: a new section in vehicles settings called “Chimes” with nothing under it.

I have a Platinum Powerboost FX4 that is at stock height with stock size Michelin LTX A/T 2 tires. I pull a 7600# travel trailer for about 30% of my total truck miles. Most of our towing miles are on roads, but we do occasionally camp off road down dirt roads and on beaches. I would also like to...

Before I purchase a trailer camera from Ford, I would like to hear from those who have it today. I do have cameras at speed, but will need to add the trailer tech harness (I have the 2-wire variant) to add TPMS and potentially the trailer camera. Does the trailer camera show up as a card in...

I think I might understand why my truck interior is so hot after running in Generator mode with my RV - the inverter is in the cab. Most of us, including myself, turn OFF the HVAC to conserve fuel - after all, why cool the cab if noone is sitting in It? But with the inverter running at the load...

Well, I am now updated enough to get “cameras at speed”, and see that that bed camera shows up in the SYNC 4 cards. With the new camera capabilities, I am not leaning towards getting the customer installed trailer camera, but I have a question for those who already have one: will the trailer...

I figured out an easy way to stop double honk when exiting the truck without resorting to turning it off in FORScan. Roll down the driver window, Exit the truck with the fob in the seat, Reach in and get the fob & hit auto up for the window. The horn will not honk with the window closes! Easy...

On a couple of occasions, I have seen crazy wrong outside temperature readings when starting the truck. Like reading in the mid 90’s F when it is really in the mid 60’s. It does come down (at ~ 1 deg F / sec) after running for a while. But the side effect is if you remote start with the comfort...

I continue to be impressed with the nuances in the engine and drivetrain management software in these trucks. While on my commute to work, I was in “Slippery” mode due to rain. I just happen to notice that the regenerative braking gets limited, I assume to limit slipping on wet surfaces. It...

Has anyone heard anything on if or when a trailer TPMS system will be available for the ‘21 F-150?

Can other screens be added to the selection list of My View via FORScan? Specifically, can the Towing Status be added to be one of the screens available?

I had my first scheduled man appointment yesterday, but it still has not shown up in Ford Pass. I see that there is a way for me to manually add one, bu wouldn’t the dealer add the visit information?

We will be embarking on a 3000 mile RV trip soon, and I am weighing out the pros and cons of using the SYNC4 Navigation System vs. Apple Maps. I like some of the integrations SYNC4 has with the truck like prompting you for fuel stops and dashboard information, but haven’t really used it much...

OK, I came from an ’02 with basically no assist on anything and I find myself fighting all the assist technology when connecting my trailer. My trailer has a Pro Pride 3P, which means instead of getting under with a ball and dropping the trailer down, I am inserting a stinger into the trailer...

I am going to help My sone move some stuff this week, so I finally got around to installing the box link anchors. One went in with only ‘hand’ force. Two required some persuasion with a hammer. One required removing the mounting plate and significant hammer action. I hope they didn’t think I...

Every other car I have used CarPLay on provides the ability to interact with CarPlay using physical buttons, knobs, etc. on the vehicle. For SYNC4 in the F-150, I have not found an physical controls that interact with CarPlay: I can only interact via the touchscreen. Am I missing something?

I like the shape of the Platinum wheels, but it is a bit too much chrome for me. I also don’t want to drop $$$ on all new wheels. Can a chrome wheel be powder coated? If so, would it hold up reasonably well? Is that cost effective compared to all new wheels? Thanks!

So my wife is getting jealous that my F-150 gets better mileage than her ‘19 Genesis G80 3.8L AWD. This could get expensive... ?

It doesn’t look like Ford Pass (iOS) supports a “Send To” function. Other iOS apps allow Maps to send them a location for routing. Waze, Google Maps, etc. My son’s Tesla App supports this: he can look something up in Apple Maps, Apple Calendar, etc., click on Share and select the Tesla App. The...
