And that’s the problem when Ford is on such a steep learning curve,
the next solution to an immediate problem looks like the cure but does
that new project and strategy bring a whole raft of new problems to solve.
Gotta admire Ford’s quest to find an electric vehicle package that it can
sell at a profit and attract enough buyers to make the whole thing work.
Simple - weak battery. Either it’s not driven enough or it’s defective or you have a parasitic draw.
Go get a Solar BA-9 tester and check the CCA (cold cranking amps). Charge the battery and retest. That will tell you if it needs to be replaced or just charged. You might need a trickle charger.
I was sad when they dropped the performance pack from the ecoboost Mustang, the RTR gives some of the performance/handling goodies back and then some (anti-lag). Only thing I haven't seen is if they are going with the Torsen rear axle or what ratio they are using.
I admit I don't know much about drifting and if the Torsen differential helps or hurts for that.
I just did a post on F-150 thread same title. Not sure how often people read that so if anyone has Ideas please check it out. ( I do miss the old "Today's Post" feature😎
When I open my door, I do not get interior lights or instrument lights. When I start vehicle everything comes on. when I shut vehicle off, I get a message that says...." System off to save battery". Vehicle in service date 9/23. I have brought up 786pg (!!!) owners manual and there is nothing in manual that I can find that mentions this issue.
Thoughts?
I've seen a handful of them. They're bigger than you think.
I just think it was a mistake from the get-go to do another brand for them. They should've been Chevy Express (with obligatory blue E) HD or something. Not saying that'd have saved them, but creating a whole other product arm seemed like an exercise in waste.
I dunno about that-when I got my 2006 Mustang GT, my insurance on it was actually cheaper then my Focus SVT! I also think the Focus name plate was more expensive because it had younger and more inexperienced drivers against it too.
I'm also thinking the assembly of them in Canada isn't doing them any favors with tariffs either.
I don't think I've ever seen one on the road-I've seen plenty of the Rivian Amazon delivery vehicles and a couple E-Transits, but they aren't setting the sales charts on fire either.
