When I installed the foam sound insulation in the openings between the front doors and the engine compartment, reducing the horn volume in the cab was one of the benefits of adding that item otherwise not included in the XL trims.
And yes I do use the horn. I live in a tourist town. 🙄
If you're interested in where tires are made, here's a site that 'splains that. https://www.utires.com/articles/tires-made-usa-american-foreign-brands/?srsltid=AfmBOoozrnOEz5L0cY3J4pD-G1DljUCfeb8rkQpQciJsVlmrBqG_HreQ
Even if ACC was to become available on the XLT next model year, the only thing to be certain of is a price increase.
If ACC is a must-have option, just get the current model year and quit obsessing about if it's going to be an option to a lower trim.
IIRC, the hotspot subscription option was unavailable on certain model years, due to post covid chip shortages; then re-added for 2025 model year.
And it is now 5G. Originally it was 4G - which, of course, will be obsoleted at some point in the future.
If that's the temperature cold, and if you haven't checked them since you took delivery, it's very likely the dealership never reduced the over inflated tire pressure that's often put in at time of manufacture.
The door pillar sticker probably shows 35 for all four tires on your truck (but...
Always look in the user manual.
Additionally, ensure that the parking brake is not set. If you are parked on an incline at all, the truck activates the parking brake automatically.
Maybe many, but certainly not all phones.
I use wired AA through the USB-A port, and run maps, music, phone calls and other apps while charging. I've never had my phone not maintain a "full" charge using this connection. By full, I mean 80%. That's the maximum I allow the phone battery to...
Programming is required for '23 XL fobs. DIY instructions in the '23 user manual.
I bought fobs on eBay, had my locksmith cut the metal keys, and I programmed the fobs myself, using instructions in the user manual.
Ford's been selling Hybrids since the early aughts. And with an excellent reliability record. Toyota's been selling Hybrids since the late 1990s. Hardly new technology at all.
The EcoBoost complicated 8-speed automatic will probably have to be rebuilt a couple of times while the Hybrid eCVT...
Make sure you haven't accidentally programmed four key fobs already. The maximum is four. I have no idea how to check that on a 25 model year.
On my '23 XL, I followed the instructions in the paper user manual and it just worked. IIRC, it was very simple..
I have a '23 XL +CP360 Hybrid with almost 26k miles on it. It's only been to the dealer for software updates - nothing else has been needed. My local mechanic does oil + filter changes when needed and carefully inspects everything he can at that time.
Trips to town are around 12 mi RT. Now...
Get a locksmith to make you a metal fob-less key. Also known as a test key. They fit in a magnetic Hide-a-Key box. Of course this will not start the truck, but it'll let you get back in if you accidentally lock the fob key in the truck.
I opened the tailgate and stuck the box at the base of the...
