It took pulling 6300 pounds of center console boat up an icy hill with my FWD hybrid to run out of traction. I think you should be fine with all wheel drive.

I want to go back to the good old days where if you got into an accident, you and the other driver did pistols at 10 paces to see who was at fault. Also, count me as interested in a front hitch.

The 120 V power outlet only works when the truck is in ready mode, and the computer does start the engine to recharge the high voltage battery pack when it reaches a low threshold. That being said however, the 120 V outlet is practically useless, as almost nothing works on it, save perhaps...

I’ll add my report now that it seems my “leak“ has stopped. 2025 hybrid FWD, started losing coolant about 30,000 miles in, reservoir dropped all the way to the lower hose, I filled back up to the Max line, then it dropped down to the Min line again. from 50,000 miles now up to 61,000, it hasn’t...

The knobs likely triggered software commands in the 22-24, and still have wiring in the 25-26. I would want to compare my ‘25 to a previous MY to confirm though.

I should have provided a bit more detail of my observation: the most reliable way to repeat the behavior is above minimum charge, as in, it does not become a factor at any point, and I will generally turn off the heat when making a brief stop to avoid kicking on the engine, engine hot from...

Since I last saw this thread, I replaced the steel toolboxes in my bed with these DeWalt tough system boxes, which do have rubber seals on them, though I’m not sure if they’re totally waterproof. Though I expect them to be a little better about keeping humidity away from the tools. As for size...

This, and also one of those working scale model engines. A V8, just for the hell of it. 🙃

And this is why you shouldn’t wear a tinfoil hat, but rather a tinfoil balaclava

I’ve simply come to terms with the fact that my brand of humor is sometimes a little esoteric.

I was going to say a mix of Linux and FreeBSD, but with TrueNAS now running the Linux kernel, and my planned migration from pf sense to a Nix-based router, it may be a Linux-only future for me. All computer operating systems are going to stab you in the taint, but at least you get to select the...

To clarify, you’re looking for 12v, switched? Simplest way is a fuse tap taken off under the glovebox with the wire routed under the door sills. If constant 12v is fine, just tap the battery that is under the center-right rear seat (hybrid)

Ya’ know…. The Maverick’s curb is under 4,000… I’m gonna go find me a forklift and a WDH and get up to no good. :wink:

I wish I could get updates, but I am firmly in the “pulled fuse 11” camp until the infotainment has a terminal where I can git blame

I have more faith and trust in a random Vlad than I do in Microsoft. I dedicated an entire computer to that virus, and isolate it from my home network.

While I would not put it past Ford to make the sheet metal too thin to support the forces of a WDH, in abstraction a unibody should actually be better than a frame for the forces imparted: more metal in more directions to manage the dynamic forces involved bumping down the road.

Sadly, no, it’s just poor design. The amplifier should be powered off when the truck is off, but it isn’t, and I suspect the reason for this is because they wanted to cheap out on a discrete buzzer for the dinging used for various reasons.

I would be interested to know what your results were As for my continued experimentation, I have noticed sometimes that if the engine is off for an extended period, perhaps a minute or more, then the system I am guessing, enters a warm-up mode for the catalytic converter. Pure speculation on my...

I have the Steel Horse 52qt that is stocked at some Buc-ees, and it will resume once power is restored. Be careful what you buy, this unit has an actual compressor like a real refrigerator, and still only hits about 60w when running, but there are “coolers” out there that use Peltier devices...

The anarchists are voting with their wallets. I approve.
