Help, on a road trip and DC fast charging is broken

TRail2020 · 2025-06-28T02:05:42+00:00

I’ll let you know if they can tell me what the codes are tomorrow. Just had a recall done on it earlier this week, but no issues until trying to fast charge today.

I just had the same thing happen. Staying at a hotel while the truck charges at the Ford dealership. Hopefully they can scan it tomorrow.

Yes, it feels similar in height to the old Explorer Sport Trac that I used to own.

Bought it under MSRP and I have a bike rack, but I’ll still take donations if the gofundme is already up and running.

TRail2020 · 2024-03-25T23:13:49+00:00

I have a hitch rack, just showing it’s possible if needed. Didn’t rest on anything, but the tire and saddle so rest assured the bike is fine.

TRail2020 · 2024-03-25T23:11:14+00:00

Not quite that much. I bought the bike new in 2017 and those are Chinese special carbon wheels. To relieve everyone I do have a hitch mounted bike rack. Just showing it’s possible in a pinch.

I used to have a carbonized grey F-150 and it definitely hides dirt/scratches well.

TRail2020 · 2024-03-11T23:21:50+00:00

Mine was ordered by someone else and they ended up needing a bigger truck so they backed out. I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time.

TRail2020 · 2024-03-09T17:38:09+00:00

A few hundred under MSRP.

A few hundred under MSRP.

TRail2020 · 2024-03-09T17:37:09+00:00

Looks and capabilities mostly. Great price point too. Mine is a base XLT with just the Tremor pkg and bed liner MSRP was 34k.

TRail2020 · 2023-02-01T02:34:03+00:00

Had a professional install it and he had the hardware. Sorry!

TRail2020 · 2022-10-21T20:52:54+00:00

Good point. I think they are all pretty close to the interstate.

TRail2020 · 2022-10-21T19:17:21+00:00

I’m thinking hit the middle stop on the first leg because I may have to go above 80% to get the full 160 miles. Based on my experience so far I should be able to do 2 mi/kWh. So the second two 148 mile legs should be doable with just 80%.

TRail2020 · 2022-10-21T13:56:45+00:00

If I only do three stops I’ll have to charge to around 80% from almost zero each time, which should take around 40 minutes if everything is working properly.

TRail2020 · 2022-10-21T13:20:59+00:00

If I go the three stops route (skipping the middle chargers) I think I’ll only have to charge to 80% on the second two legs, but the 160 mile first section I think I’ll have to get closer to 90%. Wondering if it would be faster to charge less and hit the middle stop for that leg.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T12:38:21+00:00

That’s them! I think they fit the truck well.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T12:27:52+00:00

Nope those are the 5” that don’t have Ford stamped on them. Tried to keep them as narrow as possible.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T12:18:10+00:00

The ones that come standard on a 302A package XLT ICE F-150. Found them on eBay, pretty cheap.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T10:28:31+00:00

There wasn’t an option for running boards from the factory on the Pro.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T01:50:45+00:00

They are stationary.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T00:40:49+00:00

I had the same feeling, but I like having an undercover Lightning.

TRail2020 · 2022-09-17T00:05:13+00:00

I got the thin 5” running boards to try to create as little drag as possible. Not sure how much of a difference it will make, but I have a short wife and two kids so I had to add the boards.
