Real world insight - for sure an uptick in that dataset!

My honest assessment is this may have more to do with the Battery Management System than anything. Every year, our 21 Explorer does the same thing when we get an extended period of cold (as in Below Zero F) weather. When it warms up, the issue goes away. Our work fleet of trucks (mostly F150s...

E15 hasn't replaced E10 anywhere here... Typically one of two setups: Kwik Trip here does 87 E10, 88 E15, and 91 E0. A few other stations (at least one local Holiday) is the same. Others have the E85 pumps with a blender option for E15, along with E10 87,89, and 91. The pump blends E85 and...

Carbon Monoxide has no odor unless there are other impurities mixed with it. That is a huge part of what makes it a silent killer. With a quick no foul play mention, its a reasonable bet that this may be the cause. With multiple NG devices in the house, I've got CO detectors on each level and...

You are correct - you did not ask the question. Another poster did, and I answered with my response. My apologies for the confusion. Regardless, my intent was only to respond with a direct factual answer to a question that had been raised. Your response felt like I had not answered the...

You asked a question. I answered. Sorry it wasn't up to your standards...

That is correct - they were taxiing on a runway - thus no hold short lines.

Vasa Aviation has a nice Youtube with the audio from both the ground controller and the tower controller synced up. The business jet and crew is the one who is going to get chewed out. They were given instructions to cross one runway and hold short of the next. They messed up the readback...

Joann was my wife and kids primary source of fabric and yarn for their projects. Neither Michaels or Hobby Lobby has the same selection or products of combination of price and quality that they would like. All are frustrated but note that the Joann stores were rapidly going downhill over the...

Good grief - its like the old days when recommendations for xw20 oils started coming out. I ran three F150's out to over 190,000 miles before I sold them using 5w20 oil. The '04 had issues with the timing chains, but no issues with bearings...

Being transparent, I noted 10% lower than my long term overall average for the vehicle. If you want to compare to the best case scenario, its actually closer to a a 20% difference than the "Best Case" overall monthly... A real world number right now - my long term average on the 2016 F150...

I agree on the biggest losers that it is certainly more of an issue. The charging rate is a big thing - the ones who figure this out will certainly be better off...

Not exactly the same, but my plug in hybrid Ford Fusion goes significantly less distance on electricity in the dead of winter despite being parked in a garage at home. The resistance heating is a big culprit here...

And compared to a gasoline powered equivalent, this is how much different? As a comparison point, my F150 gets just under 10% worse gas mileage in January than it does on average over the year. That's over 130,000 miles in a lot of Minnesota's climate... Nearly all of my gas powered vehicles...

Ford listed curb weight is typically 4400 ish (fwd) 4800lbs (ish) ecoboost awd.

Dumb question - adaptive cruise or standard cruise control?

Like you've said - not uncommon on the F150 boards with this generation. I've been lucky enough not to experience it, despite using my truck for a wide variety of uses - family hauler, freeway cruiser, trailer towing (boats and snowmobile trailers), and mountain driving in...

Recognize the rear pads are used in anti-sway duty when towing and are applied as part of the traction control system. Note also there is not a lot of pad on the rears - the set I took off my 2016 F150 and put back on only had thick pad for a small part of the overall pad size - and before...

Never been to Mancini's - though plenty of folks swear by it. The Juicy Lucy is a South Minneapolis thing - with partisans arguing Matt's Bar vs the 5-8 Club. (I'm a 5-8 Club guy - my grandmother lived near it). Beware the molten hot cheese. And note the spelling - it's a Jucy Lucy at...

As usual, we are now in the time of speculation as to causation. Allow the investigators to do their job, and do it thoroughly. We live in an era of instant news and thinking the answers to everything should be here - now! Proper investigation takes time. There were a lot of holes in the...
