I searched and found nothing, figured Id ask here since its a "feature". 

 

I know the High Country instrument cluster has a larger screen, and the auxiliary gauges are digital vs analog.  Other then that, is there MORE information that is availible on a HC vs lower end models? Or is it the same info, just displayed in a prettier fashion?

I found out this weekend that while using Android Auto (maybe CarPlay as well) if you rotate the right radio knob it will zoom the map in and out.

Discovered this today.... if you press on the skinny pedal on the right, you can find Ford F-150's in the rear view mirror...   They just appear there... its like magic!

In case you were wondering...  Two bottles of wine fit in the door compartment perfectly!

I think I saw somewhere that more information is presented on the dash when you enable tow/haul. I think it shows transmission temp as well as engine temp? Someone else with a HC will have to confirm this.

Also a cool “feature” on my truck is that the right defroster vent leaks so that side gets all fogged up when I don’t need the defroster on. Regretting this purchase!

Warranty?

I’ve taken it in 4 times in the 2 weeks I’ve owned it. Last thing I want is for them to pull the dash apart. I’m gonna attempt to diagnose it myself tomorrow.

I've found that when I fill up on fuel the gas gauge is off.  I've pumped gas until the pump clicks, waited a full minute, put more in as much as possible.  The gas gauge never shows full tank.  Does this have to do with me switching the "Best fuel economy" from the last 50 miles to the last 25 miles, or vise versa?

No, it shouldn't matter about the fuel economy display for 25 or 50 miles.  Are you filling up with the truck running?  If it never shows full, I'd say it's time for a trip to the dealer for warranty work.

This may have been covered already but I’ve seen a lot of people trying to find a way to close them besides the button on the door panel. I figured out if you press and hold the lock button for about 1-2 seconds It folds your mirrors while locking. Press and hold unlock To unfold while unlocking.

Does it do that without the trailer connected?

It does not unfortunately. Only when trailer is connected. Unless you faked it out by leaving something plugged in haha

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
