  1. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    ive had direct emails with the software engineers responsible for updates, ive got nowhere. dont get me wrong, i LOVE my truck...i just want them to stop making changes that effect the user experience in a negative way, or at least get the bugs fixed when their update effects things it wasnt...
  2. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    im well aware, i just think id rather have less things "software defined" i understand the argument for it on the company's side, and from an engineering standpoint. However... from a user standpoint, it can be frustrating, when things dont work right or things changed for no apparent reason
  3. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    that's kinda my point... my truck was perfect, until the updates. "they" felt it had an issue and needed an update, but i saw no issues on my end. One problem is, they send out mass update, and it can efeect different vehicles, differently. the same update can work great on one vehicle, and...
  4. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    nothing to do with patriatism at all... i'll never drive any foreign vehicle, i'm just tired of all the "tech" crap being forced on us... I've been in the auto industry for 40 straight years and 32 at Ford. I'll never drive anything else... but it will be an older one too. conceptually, a lot of...
  5. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    kudos... im in my late 50s and i used to be more of a "techie" but as of late.. i want les and less of it. Hence the old school truck comment. once i retire, i dont want to deal with all the nanny computer aided BS.
  6. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    whatever.....lol, when i pay 70k for a truck, it should be the way i want, or at least not change from day to day! its not JUST that screens change, but all kinds of things started acting up ever since the first update, glitches, varried and inconsistant. if your phone screen constantly changed...
  7. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    After each OTA update, Ford has screwed up something with/on my SYNC4 screen and/or with the truck itself. So... i've turned off the automatic updates. this last one, reset everything, deleted all my recent and saved NAV destinations, and now the 12" screen defaults to the SETTINGS screen...
  8. Show us what your F-150 tows

    I tow my 23' Forest iver IBEX 23RLDS. I'm chompin at the bit to get it out this year!
  9. Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread (F-150, Lightning, Mach-E)

    my 21' Lariat PB just got Priority Update 23-PU0630-YAW-RT last night. it says udpates are as follows: improved stability during low-state-of-charge battery conditions, and more reliable warnings in drivers display when low-state-of-charge conditions exist. anti-lock braking system calibration...
  10. Consumer Reports List Powerboost On Least Reliable

    I have a 21' Lariat PB and it's been pretty good so far (knock on wood) my issues to date: the folding shifter broke and left me stranded (it feels like cheap plastic crap) touch screen, NAV and connection glitches after an update lights go on/off randomly if I lock the doors after dark...
  11. Folding Gear Shift Not Working - Won't Rise

    Yeah, I'd rather have a colunm shifter than a console that's a POS. :rolleyes::cautious: Personally i'm not a fan of dial shifters AT ALL. The days of a mechanical connection to nearly everything is upon us also.
  12. Console Shifter stuck in D [SOLVED]

    if it the "folding" shifter, its a P.O.S.! there's a TSB on the shifter. Last year mine brole and left me stranded. Had it towed to dealer, printed out the TSB and took it to them. They ended up replacing the entire shifter "module"
  13. Bed liner vs bed mat

    i've owned 3 trucks with full bed rug liners. they were great for "truck camping". However, since the Ford Factory spray-in lines came out, that's what i have. the stuff is practically bullet proof. i just use a Bed Rug matt on the bed floor, that way i have full access to, and can mount things...
  14. Is this really standard build quality for an 80k truck?

    it looks like issues witht the wheel well liner (dealer installed option) Y/N? it also looks like compressed felt of some sort. Mine are a more of a semi-flexible plastic, that fit better into place. Also... if this is the work of your issues... be thankful ;) :cool:
  15. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    oh ok, but still, i noticed the dual tips, exiting from underneath the bumber and not under the rear qtr panel behind the RR tire. i could see a likely situation, using the tailgate work surface with power tools, and having the exhuast rolling up from under the tailgate, right up into your face...
  16. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    nice work. glad it saved turkey day :cool: i seeyou have dual exhaust, is that new for 23' ? i have a 21' PB and its the standard single with the tip behind the right rear wheel.
  17. New Tire Time -- Have a ~6,500 lb travel trailer...stick with 18s or get 20s?

    i will never be a fan of anything over 18" wheels on a truck! there are REAL physical advantages of 18's over 20's. there are NO real advantages of 20's over 18's, other than "looks" in a truck, unless it's literally justa mall crawler, you want and need that extra sidewall protection, ride...
  18. Mandated kill switchs in trucks for 2026

    :mad: absoultely unbelievable, lol that has to be one of the most blatent step on ur freedoms, ever. there are WAY, way...way too many scenarios for this to go wrong. listening in on PRIVATE personal verbal communications with your OWN vehicle? LOL... i think NOT! i think my current vehicle will...
  19. anyone regretting getting the powerboost?

    i totally agree, feel pretty much the same way. i got a new TT in March, the PB makes destinations, virtually unlimited. i get away for privacy too, so now i can go where other campers cannot. i've also used ito to power my neighbors house duraing power outages this past spring.
