I DANG Sure feel like I got the raw end of a deal. I was #2 at my dealer for the Lightning Pro and they were all gone in the first wave, no Lightning for me, no sale for Ford. Why say you can have a Lightning for $39,974 when in reality you truly can’t.
I called when I got notified and the lady said my 21 was included. The biggest thing I was hoping for was the ability to start my Pro Power Generator from inside my camper and I have not been able to convince anyone at Ford how valuable this option is to me and several other Powerboost owners...
It was for a bit, then, it wouldn’t work and they said they would fix it, now Ford says they are removing everything and all Bluetooth controls from the Ford Pass app. Going backwards in my opinion, sorta like our country and the economy.
I was pushing Ford for the Bluetooth Pro Power Gen start but now Ford informed me that they will be removing all Bluetooth control functionality from FordPass. They lady on the phone stated they are realizing several folks dropping the app. due to the changes proposed. FordPass is truly almost a...
Update:
How I learned to connect FordPass via Bluetooth:
Foot off brake press start, follow screen prompts, press OK twice to receive “Full Power”. Connect to Apple CarPlay via Bluetooth. Open FordPass app on cellphone. Access Pro Power generator and verify Bluetooth connection.
Bad News: I...
Pulled into the dealership to investigate my FordPass Bluetooth connection and magically it starts working????? I did nothing, the dealership did nothing, so, I’m at a total loss why my FordPass app all of a sudden decided to connect via Bluetooth. Haven’t had time to test the functionality of...
If you do t mind me asking, what is FDRS and how do I update my modules. Yesterday, I spent about 30- minutes with a representative from FordPass and we were not able to connect FordPass to my truck via Bluetooth.
Update: Never mind, I found it “Ford Diagnostics Repair Software”. Looks like a...
One other comments…. I would not pull the trailer without the WD Anderson hitch. My buddy, with an EcoBoost couldn’t believe the difference and he has a lighter trailer.
I hate that when that happens, I read a document and I think it says one thing, then, someone else reads it and understands it a totally different way. I’m sure Ford told all dealers to basically “Play fair OR we WILL pull your Lightning allocations for the entire MY22.
How do you figure that won’t stop the dealership ADM?? If ya ain’t got the truck to sell ya can’t mark it up? And it’s Ford product to profit from, not mine, not yours or anybody else. Don’t buy it if you don’t want to ride it!
You’re kidding Right? This is FORDS product, they spent the time and money developing it. The only people that should profit is Ford, not the dealerships and definitely not the public. Buy the truck if you want to enjoy the ride but don’t buy it to profit off Fords hard work.
Guess there’s no way to find out if those in front of you have an earlier time stamp? My understanding was they/we have two weeks to decide and place the order, at which time Ford should be able to determine how many reservation were changed to Orders? If the amount off orders were less than...
At this point, I really wouldn’t worry too much, IF…. Ford follows the time stamp policy they spoke about. I remember Ford stating something like they received 20k reservation on the first day. I am hoping that all those that placed a reservation on the first day get an invite to order. It would...
That’s a great question as I may be one of them if the Pro is not available (I simply can’t afford nor wish to pay an additional $13k for the next model up).
FWIW, I just found an interesting “fine print” statement at the bottom of slide 6 that gives hope to more than one invite per wave. Maybe this first wave is just a test as another member in this forum has already stated. Still can’t find where it said Ford was only building 5% Pro models???
Yes, my dealer emailed to nformed me, he also stated if the first guy dropped he would let me know that also, however, I don’t think that will make any difference, I still got to be notified by Ford.
