Here's a good one. Ford wants you to pay for the use of the Mach E Frunk. Maybe Ford is trying to make up their $19+ billion dollar loss on the EV division.
Great video!
I wouldn't buy one to begin with. This makes them even less desirable...which leads me to "if something's not being used, how is adding a fee going to increase demand?" Which, of course, also makes me ask "How and why in the hillbilly hell is Ford tracking Frunk useage?"
Never seen one but I bet it's tied to how you open it. I'm guessing there is a lever/fob/button and those can be tracked super easily. Hell even a contact switch tied to the bus would tattle on it being opened.
Help an old guy out how do you sync your phone to it?
Here's Ford's instructions:
Valid complaint. All my Toyotas did not need a subscription for the maps to work. It’s stupid. I, unlike very few folks, don’t always have a phone with me. Life is much simpler that way. I, like you probably, was able to grow up just fine without a phone in hand.I've owned several Fords over the years starting with a '54 Crestliner Starliner. I now have a '25 Maverick Lariat. My grump complaint is why is Ford nickle & dime us over the GPS and other things. After spending almost $40K for the truck now one year later they want $80 a year to make my GPS work
The GPS is just an electronic atlas that comes in handy.
Trip back from Arkansas did a different route for dinner spot son wanted to get to - but I didn't catch coverage like my son did in a valley - so relied on him (I usually write out the major highways for route just in case).
