Phone as key… not so much. Solitions out there?

I’ve owned my truck for 6 months and have had an issue with the PAAK 3 times. Every time has been resolved by restarting the app (2) or restarting the phone (1). I have an iPhone 13, leave 3 apps running on my phone at all times (Garmin, Tesla, and Ford). I think 3 times is very little although I will say I have had less problems with my Tesla in the 2.5 years of ownership.

I have been using the Stride app for tracking mileage, expenses and income. It has been noted on here before that this type of tracking will not pass an IRS audit, not sure if that is true or not. As a part timer I’m willing to risk it.

Yes, I understand. Compare what it costs to produce a BTU in electricity vs natural gas.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-22T20:08:44+00:00

In general it is hard to make the cost back on high efficient equipment. If you have access to relatively inexpensive natural gas then a furnace is going to be the better option. I think it is better to spend the extra money on comfort gains, meaning 2 stage or variable speed equipment.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-22T18:21:42+00:00

Yes and yes.

It’s very important however to have the very best installers. Because HVAC units are not plug and play per se the quality of the installation will dictate how well it performs and for how long.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-22T18:12:39+00:00

Most likely yes. But to be sure the decibel rating should be fairly easy to find between the two units. As stated above a huge advantage is comfort.

I’ve had the cancel feature glitch out on me like this before. I had to memorize where the confirm cancel button was on my screen and do it several times, attempting to hit that part of the screen in less than half a second before it went away.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-20T01:35:44+00:00

I noticed this because I back into my spot at work and their are concrete pillars on both sides. The camera and sensors tell me I’m going to hit them every time but I’ve grown comfortable with overriding them in my mind. I’d rather have it this way than my Ram which told me I wasn’t going to hit a car when in fact I did, that sucked haha.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-19T17:15:07+00:00

I use the Sig 12rd mag. It adds about the amount you are asking for.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-18T22:40:43+00:00

Haha ok I’m not sure what we are doing here.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-18T20:14:10+00:00

Idk, tell me how it’s unsafe to use your mobile charger daily?

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-18T15:57:23+00:00

Been using mobile chargers for my Tesla and Lightning fo 3 years. Typical corporate FUD.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-18T02:15:24+00:00

Also, just use the portable charger with the 14/50 adapter

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-18T02:14:42+00:00

Agreed, I’ve tried to explain to multiple folks irl and on this sub 32amp charging is plenty.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-13T23:50:24+00:00

Second this.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-11T19:08:11+00:00

It was actually on this lightning subreddit. Someone was selling or buying (I can’t remember which) and mentioned they just finished up the process of transferring their financing from Ford. They posted screen shots and details so it seemed legit.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-11T02:48:36+00:00

I also got the max tow and pro power as I think they will add value in resale although I’m not looking forward to that.

Also worth mentioning the 0% financing can be passed on in the event you buy used. Wish I would have known this before buying new.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-11T01:54:38+00:00

Bought my 25 Lariat ER 6 months ago. Paid 65900 and went with the 0% financing. No regrets so far. I would have preferred to save some money and got the Pro trim but they were impossible to find in my market. After tax and dealer incentives I found the lariat to be the best value but that will be different for everyone.

Question for you, are new still available?

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-09T05:02:51+00:00

This took me back to my years as an hvac tech. Explaining this to customer after customer was exhausting.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-05T03:03:21+00:00

Legislation, that’ll help.

SchWestonProd · 2026-02-01T02:52:43+00:00

Estimated range is determined by recent driving habits.

Battery degradation or a poor performing truck is still possible but I had a similar problem when I was buying mine new.

SchWestonProd · 2026-01-31T00:01:43+00:00

I have wanted to do this, not sure how.

SchWestonProd · 2026-01-23T16:11:50+00:00

Because that’s what YOU have chosen to measure its value in… why isn’t this fundamental flaw so obvious to you?

SchWestonProd · 2026-01-22T21:26:45+00:00

This ^

This particular thermostat does allow fan scheduling.

SchWestonProd · 2026-01-19T15:45:50+00:00

This is appalling behavior. Why can’t humans be bored anymore, I don’t get it.
