It did , but for the hell of it I took it to the dealership and told them what happened with turning off the connectivity etc . They did my recall of the dash lights and decided on their own to replace the battery while doing the recall stuff . I didn’t think it needed it but maybe they were...
Update : I went to the dealership and told them about the battery drain and they installed this under warranty . I’ll see if this new battery is different .
Go to your radio and touch
Go to your radio in the truck . Touch settings , Ford Pass Connect , Connectivity Settings , toggle off . Swipe to WiFi , turn off . Swipe to Automatic System Updates . Delete your forepaws app on your phone . That’s what I did .
I opened my back door to remove groceries and left it open for a few minutes . I came back and heard relays clicking . I shut the door and then I locked the doors . I walked off and heard more noises . All while the truck is off . Then I walked by the truck to get the mail . More clicks . It’s...
Me too . But the previous things did reduce the battery drain . Just trying to help . I don’t want to get rid of the truck if I can help it . I’m addicted to the 38-46 mpg I’m getting
The clicking is when the truck is off . Try opening your hood . You will hear a lot of clicking noises . It’s totally not necessary when the truck is off for the truck to open and close relays or transfer any info to the computer when off . It is an unnecessary battery drain . It also does it...
I have solved my battery drain issue by going to the Ford Pass App on the Touchscreen and turning off connectivity . I turned off automatic updates , Wi-Fi and toggled off insurance data . I deleted my ford app on my phone . Now it’s not searching for my Wi-Fi signal parked in my garage . It’s...
I get 41 mpg x13.8 gallon tank driving from Florida to Tennessee with the wind at my back . That’s 565 miles per tank . I could get 600 if I drove mostly city driving . I live 2 miles to Kroger from my house . Going there and back I use .8 miles on gas , 1.2 on Electric since it’s 45mph speed...
Hang in there . It’s worth the wait . It’s cool getting over 600 miles on a 13.8 gallon tank of gas . It’s addictive . I’ll never buy another non hybrid Vehicle for the rest of my life
If you are going to tow more than 1500 pounds get the Ecoboost . If you want the best gas mileage get the hybrid . I have the hybrid , 38-42 mpg vs 25-30 for the eco boost . If you live in a city and don’t tow get the hybrid . Sometimes I get 45-50 mpg when doing a lot of city driving . Don’t...
My 2022 XLT is dim too . The settings are all on max brightness . I have a friend with the 2023 Lariat
with the upgraded sound system . His is so bright he has to turn it down . Much different and better . I wish they had more attention to detail . It’s annoying
My Friend opens it on his F150 to let the hot air out after it has been sitting outside . When you start the truck and turn on your A/C , it will cool the Truck faster
