I've got the telematics/spyware disabled so I can only remote start via the fob.

Mine smashed the hood with a remote start. Maybe they "upgraded" the 25's?

if you move the wipers up and pull them away from the windshield and leave them (IE: if it is going to snow, freezing rain, etc) do NOT start the truck. They will smash the hood and chip the paint. There are some incredibly stupid design issues with these trucks...

I don't know if you're the only one. But a properly designed and functioning water circulation heating system will give priority to the engine and having the cabin heat on from the start means you will get heat out of the heating system as soon as it is available. Having the heat on before...

I'm literally doing the same with the door edge protectors. $40 for the touch-up paint at the dealer. :mad: Absolutely inexcusable for a product to go out in production like that. My dealership claims they had no idea and say they will advise new purchasers. Hope so!

Ford knows better than you do what you want. If you were allowed to make your own choices, there would be real HVAC controls and you could turn off the giant TV if you wished. Relying on software would be ok if every possible use case were considered - and tested, but that is just simply not...

Thanks. That me LOL

We got a little snow last night... we went from nothing worth mentioning on the ground to knee-deep overnight. Had there been the forecast winds, we'd have had drifts that would have shut stuff down maybe for days. Not so much I need snow tires though... lol

That might be it.

Driving home last night with 2 inches of snow going in fast and hard the wife and I chatted about how clear the windshield was. Defrost was on but the temp and the fan were low and the windshield was absolutely free of accumulating snow. I've never driven a vehicle in those conditions before...

FWIW, if Alberta votes to leave...

Considering the entire premise of the thread involves global and local politics, you're right - it didn't take long. It started that way. lol

My closest family is over 1600km / 1000 miles / 1760000 football fields (the short, southern ones :crackup:) away. I can do that drive in decent weather in 1 day in *ANY* ICE vehicle. I'm not anti-EV (agnostic about origin) but I do consider them to be toys for rich townies. To me those that...

Your interstates have a minimum of 1 mile per 10 that's mandated to be straight if I remember correctly - to allow for aircraft use.

That's more trust in their say-so than I'm willing to accept. Like "airplane mode" on your phone... it stops YOU from using the radios/antennae, but not the phone from doing so. Physical switches - like pulling the fuse - are the only way to know for sure. Unless they lied about the fuse...

I went to check my bed for drain holes today but since it is below freezing I cannot open my "Ford OEM" hard-rolling tonneau. The irony is that I bought my truck to use when the weather wasn't suitable for my motorcycles (basically December-April here on an island off the east coast of Canada)...

I can't afford a truck fast enough to accelerate quicker than even my slowest motorcycle. My quickest bike was well under 3 seconds 0-60. As a kid, our family car was a '67 Camaro SS. Very quick and fast for the day but I'm pretty sure my AWD hybrid would smoke it off the line and maybe even...

It's a drag. Or rather the drag. Drag (over simplified) goes up proportional to the velocity squared.. I think it was TopGear that did an episode with one of the Bugatti super cars with ~1000 hp. Paraphrasing, but the premise was that the driver commented while he was cruising at 100 mph it...

It's dark out. But - unlike me - she actually saw her truck before she bought it. She wanted red or blue but wasn't willing to wait so she grabbed what they had on the lot. If it helps until I eventually get a pic, mine's green and her's is some fancy carbon grey with a black roof. She...

Well - it happened. We have two Mavericks now.
