I have a 2025 Lariat hybrid/4k, and am thinking about either the Flatout GR Lite kit or the Eibach lifting springs (with the HD rears to swap in/out for towing). I'd like the ~2" lift and bigger tires (+lift) for towing the off-road trailer. Enquiring minds want to know...

They are not prone to thermal runaway and they do typically have a BMS, but it's better to say that they are more resistant to thermal runaway than Lithium-ion designs. The BMS can be defective, and the cells can possibly have manufacturing defects/impurities that can grow dendritically and...

...and the truck would need to know about LiFePO4 charging, which it doesn't. And you'd need a Class-T fuse on the battery to protect the truck from catastrophic shorts. Other fuse types don't blow fast enough. And you'd need to check the wire size from the battery and make sure the fuse had a...

11,158 feet, I70, Eisenhower Tunnel, both directions., last December. Traction law in effect on the east-bound trip. Long line of truckers chaining up in the slow lane. "L" did a pretty good job at braking.

Nah... need beer goggles...

Interestingly (alarmingly) I've started noticing little bursts of vibration through the steering column on my 10k-ish miles 2025 Lariat hybrid. I've been farting around with various lane-keeping&alert functions in its config and first shrugged (kind of the vibration description) it off as...

My comment about needing a blower was followed by "😳😁😜", or some such. I meant it as a total joke not worth technical speculation. Although I could get out in front of a JATO pack.... ;-)

one of my funniest early experiences was during the time that I was poking at it a bit to try to understand its (then current capabilities). I was using "Live" mode, in which it uses the Fast model to carry on voice conversations (kind of the holy grail for use in the truck). I asked it, "What...

So I've been using the Google Gemini ecosystem (as my work gives me access to the advanced models), and haven't spend much time with ChatGPT. In general, I'd say that they are incredibly useful in acquiring information, so long as you are careful to fact check, or point out to them that what...

Yeah, wanted Carbon gray Lariat 4k Tow, AWD Hybrid, and no moon roof. I had to eat the moon roof. All in all not a horrible compromise, but I haven't yet figured out a practical use for the moon roof with the Oru up there...

I love the hybrid. EB has a lot of hype around how it performs on the highway under load. Now what we really need is an aftermarket blower for the hybrid's Atkinson... 😳 😂😜 FWIW, I drove out to Utah to pick up the Oru camper from a forum member. I'm going to really tech it out this spring. I...

You should be fine with either. I have a 2025 hybrid awd with 4k tow, and plan to get an a liner evolution lg .

THAT IS SOOO COOOL!!!!!

So your winch will draw ~300A at its maximum pull, which will depend on how much cable is on the spool. With the line the whole way out it's 5k lbs, drawing ~300A. With the line most of the way in, it's probably around 1.5k lbs, at ~300A. You likely would pull a higher inrush with the winch when...

My Dad drove Route 30 from western PA to Chicago, then took 66 to Santa Monica... in a Model A... in the middle of summer. The A was his brother's. Their destination was San Diego. The brother had enlisted in the Navy. It was 1938. My Dad joined in '39, did basic in Chicago, then boarded the...

Yeah, so absolutely, positively do not try to power a winch from that bed connection. I don't think the OP mentioned whether it is an EB or Hybrid, which throws another wrench into the circuit. Mav-Mechanic's post with the HF specs provided great info, but the HF doc doesn't make clear one...

I've been following this thread for a while, and have been plotting my 2025 Lariat Hybrid B&O upgrade, but have encountered a roadblock in the planning. With the Oru camper top I'm building out the bed as a camper, which will include an aux electrical system connected to the Mav's 12V system at...

It's stationary white water that you actually can kayak in.

"We also have very little options on Ford accessories. Ford offers a lot of items on US." Although you do seem to have some options we don't, and standard features we don't on some of the trims. ...and... $380USD for a running board option??? It's kind of wild how pricing and options differ...

As near as I can tell it doesn't mean anything, and you're just supposed to be baffled when the kids crack up over it.
