I'm running Sync 3.4, build 20136. 2019 802A. Started truck and the map came up full screen with no 'chrome' (i.e., no clock, climate control data, or bottom mode bar). Phone connected as expected via bluetooth and started playing music from Spotify (which is what it'd been doing 3hr before...

What the heck weighs so much? It's a 1.5kWh lithium-ion battery, motor and inverter. Tesla's 75kWh packs weigh a bit over 1000lb, and a third gen Prius battery is 1.3kWh and weighs 93lb. Looked at the weight info here and it's about 600lb as you said...

My understanding is the speculation is they're using a 3.5L TT V6. Same motor they use in Lexus LS500, 415hp/442lb-ft in the LS500. And I think they were doing a big of 5.7Ls for parts and other vehicles that still uses before that plant stops making it altogether.

You need clearance lights if you're more than 80" wide. Pickup trucks are currently in the 79.9"-80.0" range.

There's also of course the physical module, believe it's behind rear seat on the back wall of cab (inside of course). Pulling the cord out of that works just as well. If you want good tracking to find thieves that are cloning keys (and thus likely are very familiar with the truck's design), I...

On a Gen2, Fuse 10 in the interior panel kills the 4G modem. Doesn't affect GPS functionality in truck, but the data isn't sent to Ford or its marketing partners, or their marketing partners, or the marketing partners of those marketing partners...

This is obviously a giant scam on par with the "Tornado Fuel Saver" and fuel magnets. How do they even sell one?

Anyone that pays $1-20k dealer markup either has enough money to simply not care or is a complete moron. After buying my truck new ($1500 under sticker in Orange County, CA), I found a $20,000 ADM sticker that had been on it in the glovebox. And buying in socal and not traveling out of...

My current truck (2019) was $70,940 MSRP I think (802A, tech packge, tailgate step, moonroof). Looks like the equivalent 2021 is $72220. (801A, tailgate step, moonroof). So a $1280 price increase over two years on a different generation. The "new Raptor costs $10,000 more" statement made by...

Those are defroster elements for the wipers.

No problems at all. I don't think it behaves any differently than everyone else's other than FordPass being disabled. There's an error if you go into the FordPass menu, but only if you take that action. ForScan does see an internal code logged about the issue, but it's not a check-engine...

Mine had few issues on 3.3, but after initial 3.4 upgrade it was pretty atrocious. Resetting fixed the vast majority of those problems. 3.4 still does have a delay in displaying controls sometimes. It seems as though it's not pre-loading visual resources for commonly requested actions, like...

On the upside, it wouldn't be a problem for long!

That's nuts. What was sticker on yours? Love my truck but the idea that it's worth more than I paid for it after 18 months makes me consider swapping it for a manual Taco and Model 3.

That's horrible, thanks for writing it up. Hadn't considered how insane this crap is becoming. So....always request (and then inevitably sue) insurance for diminution of value if you get any kind of damage that goes on a carfax. Otherwise your insurance is only effectively paying half the...
