I did a little more testing this morning and found the reason for the voltage drop when I exit the vehicle is the key fob leaving the vehicle, if I leave the fob in the truck and close the door the voltage stays at 14.4v, so those with a physical key in the ignition won't have that issue.
I'm not sure if the 2025 is different, but your state of charge (SOC) is probably below 85%, in which case the voltage will stay at 14.X when the truck is on, regardless of doors, lights, etc. However, once the SOC is above 85% the voltage will drop to about 12.8 unless you turn on the lights...
I'm not sure that leaving the truck on while you're not in it will add any charge. This morning I got out and left it running with the headlights on, and locked the door. The voltage dropped to 12.8v and stayed there until I got back in and closed the door, and it went back up to 14.4v.
When you added numbers to try changing the order, were you adding them to the file name or song title in file details?
I think the system uses the title found in the file properties to sort/display by. If you right click the file in Windows and select properties, then choose the Details tab...
David, can you clarify if "Parking Lamps only" will cause your battery to charge to 100%?
Your first post reads that way but I had assumed, based on further writing in your posts, that you intended for it to read "Parking Lamps only will NOT do it"
I ask because I just noticed that my 2023...
Do you have a way of checking the battery SOC? Mine will charge at 14.4V until the SOC reaches 85% then it drops to 12.9V (Headlights Off). My normal, daily driving is not long enough to get the battery to 85% so my voltage always shows 14.4V until I take an out-of-town trip.
Now that I know...
I picked up this trailer plug tester today to see if it would be enough to trigger the higher voltage, but it didn't. The truck doesn't acknowledge that anything is plugged in to the trailer port even though the little LEDs are lit.
I decided to get in on the fun, so I connected my charger overnight (under hood jump terminals) to get the battery (6mo old AGM) SOC high enough for the DC-DC voltage to drop from 14.4v to 12.9v.
Car Scanner showed 99% SOC straight off the charger. DC-DC voltage acted as described by Mavster...
Here's the reply from Grok when asked your question. I agree with it except where it says the HV battery is ~450V, from what I've read and from my Car Scanner app it's ~250V.

I found pictures with the marker removed in this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/front-marker-bulb-replacement.8658/post-199245
Looks like the only way for it to push in like that is if the mounting socket has broken away from the back side of the bumper cover.
I don't think the fuel door being open will cause the gas fumes in the garage, the fuel door is far from air-tight, you may have a leak in the filler tube or elsewhere.
Just repeating what someone else on the forum posted in the past, and probably someone before them. That's the great thing about MTC.
Is there a "Sticky" listing all the common questions/quirks that get asked over and over? I guess I should look.
As I understand it, Ford didn't spend the money to put pressure sensors in the rear seat, so to be safe, it just assumes there are three people in the back without their seatbelts on.
Latching all three rear seatbelts will prevent the seatbelt pop up. Since I rarely have rear passengers I made...
Are these the steps you're following?
