Electronic braking

[BradnChristine]

I believe running a charging wire would alleviate starting the truck every 6 hours but that still doesn't answer my question.

That has been discussed as necessary for the powertrain. You need to actually run the ICE every 6 hours of driving, not just turn the ignition on to start (usually you must step on the gas to get the ICE to start up). But I don't have your answer either.

Still do not know on electric brake booster, but not running ice every six hours may not wet everything in transaxle. I believe that moving the dial to drive, neutral, reverse is part of the procedure, so why that???

That shift pattern, in the AM and every 6 hours thereafter, was changed in the 24 manual, from the 2023. Then the 2025 has that weird 30 minute comment in revision 2.
2023: shift to drive, to reverse, then end in neutral.
2024: shift to drive, then back to neutral.
2025: shift to drive, then back to neutral, and then it says IF you have a key, put it in park for 30 minutes to recharge the battery.

So, if you have a 2025 XLT, you are to leave it run...but if you have a Lariat (push button start) then you don't need to leave it on more than the 3 minutes?? Really piss-poor instructions on the 2025 (revision 2).
I'm really glad I have a 2023 Lariat, but I am unsure why the reverse shift was removed.
