True. It's like saying you need a parachute to jump out of an airplane. No, you need a parachute to jump out of an airplane twice.

41MPG with that ICE/electric mix is excellent! I've found once you go past 60-65, it's hard to keep the mpgs up.

Yeah, that's pretty major. Cross that route off my normal weekend commute. I'm sure the trucking companies will figure it out without too much delay.

Almost time to change your username, CONGRATS!

I was 579 - excruciating, but now that I've had it for a week, I'm really glad I hung in there. Checks all the boxes I wanted & needed, no other vehicle (really at any price point) fit.

Awesome. Got my '23 Lariat hybrid one week ago, already have 600 miles on it, averaging close to 44mpg on decent amount of highways and some up and down Pocono mountain roads. It's a great truck, and (sort of) worth the wait (my wait was 579 days).

I did the same comparison - my hybrid Lariat Mav vs a 4x2 Lariat Ranger (without sunroof, which isn't an option, and no hybrid of course). It was a $10k difference - and closer to $15k because I got a great deal from my 2022 order with under invoice and special rollover offer. Crazy.

Doesn't the 12V outlet shut off automatically after a set time period (15, 30 mins)? I haven't tested it but thought I read that somewhere, and that's how it works in my son's 2019 Edge.

What's the model on that one and/or link?

It means physically changing out a modem, an integrated piece of communications hardware that's necessary for the functioning of the vehicle's systems. It's not like swapping out floor mats.

I used Adam's Iron Remover, whole 16oz bottle on it just a few days after picking it up, and surprising how many little purple (oxidizing & removing iron particles) spots there were. Did a full wash and dry. Next week I'll wash again, clay mitt, do an IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wipe down, then I'm...

Well, it's Yahoo!, so there's that...

Same - I had thought to quickly get a reply in before someone took it seriously and ran to Pep Boys.

M8 1.25 x 28mm

Chapman (NE) initially showed me at 5/25-5/31, then on the 30th said the new ETA was June 5. Lo and behold, it appeared on their lot on June 1, picked it up the next day. Hang in there, you're so close!

The ICE version probably loses 1/4 of its MPG under load also, maybe more. I always thought the "hurr durr, you can't tow with an electric truck because you lose range" argument was misplaced.

My opinion? Go grab it. They'll know if your VIN has an active recall. It may never. Don't tell them to wait until there is a fix on something that may not affect yours. Plus the wait time might be 6 months based on the Q4 line in the recall.

Did you open the hood? Look for liquids/oils that are in places they shouldn't be (especially the underside of the hood). If you see any, get it towed to the dealer for service.

Tracker isn't quite updating I suppose: And in reality:
