So I got a bit over 3 years out of my warranty replacement Motorcraft battery. I'm not sure what the FFE does to abuse these so much besides running them flat every so often. Anyway I had planned on shoehorning in an Optima Yellow Top deep cycle AGM but I know how bad it is for the battery every tim...

Only certain versions can do 240V. You got lucky you didn't have one of the 120V only units or you would have immediately let the magic smoke out of them and you would have had a nice paperweight.

Wow only way 30 mi is reasonable is if you have the heat cranked and are driving 80+ MPH.

I think there is a way to update just the maps. I'm looking into it. What does Sync 3.4 do that 3.0 does not?

In Ohio BEV's and PHEVs pay a $200 tax on top of what an ICE pays. If you own a hybrid without a plug, you pay $100 more since your car is clearly too efficient to contribute your fair share...

I had thought about putting a diesel (kerosene) parking heater in place of the PTC heater to help with winter range but I never had the ...

Sync 2 to Sync 3 FFE upgrade guide: Sync 3 ditches Microsoft windows CE in favor of Blackberry's QNX operating system. Besides new features and a better UI, the touch screen is MUCH more responsive. Hardware for the upgrade is as follows: - Sync 3 APIM and screen. (the Sync 2 screen is not compatibl...

I feel the need to dispel some misinformation. You absolutely should bleed the brakes!!! The brake system is NOT sealed and DOT 3 or 4 (whatever the FFE uses) is highly hygroscopic. IIRC the owners manual says to do it every 2 years which IMHO is overly conservative. 5 years is the interval I use. S...

Which version of Sync are these cars running? I upgraded my Expedition to Sync 3.4 using the instructions below. Has anyone tried something similar for the FFE? I'm picking mine up tomorrow and would like to get it updated to latest version if needed. So excited to get this car. I've been wanting a...
