Pulled the Trigger and Ordered a new custom 2021 Truck today!!

[christopher]

I would be very reluctant to trust that in winter driving conditions or while towing. Dry summer road trips might be ok. But I have trust issues with letting someone else even change my oil so...

Its not a matter of Trust.
The system SHUTS OFF when it can't read all the road "signals" it needs to operate properly.
The Adaptive Cruise Control absolutely shuts off on snow covered roads. If it can't see the painted lines on both sides of the truck, it won't operate.

Looks like an update might be in your future.

Have you hooked a trailer up yet? Anxious to hear a report!

The only trailer I have right now is my little open deck 2 seater.
I suppose I need to hit up a buddy for a fully loaded 28ft with 4 sleds in it..

When does the lift go on?!

When does the lift go on?!

The BDS Liftkits are backordered several months.
At this point I don't see much happening to the truck till Mid to Late summer.
They made JUST enough changes to the 21 that most everything from 2020 doesn't fit!

Looks like you missed out on some cool features.

One more sensor recording data so Ford use to void warranty. It takes very little to overload a truck gvw.

 

[Reg2view]

I'll pile on - boon for state troopers, insurance co.'s, and lawyers. In short order, each might use the data to issue overload tickets, deny claims, sue for damages, prosecute for negligence. Just say'in. I'd bet insurnace co.'s are all over this. Too much technology. If you're near the edge, and it doesn't take a math major to figure it out, get a bigger truck.

Looking good but don’t leave us hanging without a pic that shows final fit and no gap between cab and topper!

Need to get the beast WASHED and WAXED.

The ONE and only thing I would change about the truck would be to have the option for a LARGER BATTERY.
Otherwise I FREAKING LOVE THIS TRUCK.

Just broke 10,000 miles on it this weekend.

My uncle bought one and he loves it. It will run the AC in his travel trailer, he says he doesn’t have the big battery, how many different batteries are there?

I think that’s that technology is the future. Imagine a diesel electric hybrid.

The AGM batteries are impressive , hit hard and recoup quick . Many brands to choose from , read the write ups because there's a particular brand that really isn't all it's cracked up to be but it is a big seller .
Big difference in cold starts compared to the traditional lead acid batteries , starter sounds happy .

As of right now there are NO battery options for the Hybrid.
I hope as the years go by there will be some aftermarket batteries that might offer larger storage.
The truck comes with 1.5Kw storage.
I would opt for 3-5Kw if it was offered.

Driving this thing in PURE ELECTRIC mode is a kick
