Just got a 2023 raining like mad the afternoon we got the truck, selected the slippery mode, truck never fishtailed or slipped while driving…love it!

[@TheManToys]

liv it as well.

[@2009lafs]

Bro I spent 30 minutes looking for the drive modes on my new 23 and I couldn’t find it. Now I never googled it cause i got busy with other things so I’m very happy you showed it here

[@TheManToys]

Haha. Same here bro. I was like “duh”.

[@mistah_nahamsha]

Drove an F-150 today. Real nice truck! 2023 XLT 2.7 Crew Cab.

[@rj2742]

That's a crazy rear door feature. I just sold my 2013 stx and got a 22 lariat. I just couldn't handle that rear door anymore. Plus my kids getting bigger need more room. Still kept that long bed though. So far so good. I find that android auto feature handy. I've had mine disconnect twice now, I'll try that trick

[@TheManToys]

It works very handy especially if you're on the road.

[@floresfive8615]

I had a lot of fun setting up the brake and lane assists (that I never knew I had 😂) thank you for posting this!

Awesome! You’re welcome.

We just bought our F150 XLT this weekend. This is great information. I had no idea about the drive mode either. Thanks!

[@TheManToys]

Glad I could help!

[@willreid3057]

Here is another one. If you hop out of the cab and forget to put it in park, the shifter will shift to park for you.

[@extremeaudioPRO]

Yea it’s annoying as shit if you open the door it does it 🙄

Ya, I ordered the Super Pro Platinum. Has lots of extra features. Don’t miss out.

[@fragmentedmind549]

I just got my new 23 f150 a couple days ago. It was actually hard to find since it's the 24 model year and the 23s are drying up. Lots of trucks out the with features I didn't want or colors I didn't like. Turns out it's identical to yours, same package, color, interior.... loving my new truck, all the stuff I wanted with no extra fluff.

[@TheManToys]

Awesome. I agree. There are things i don’t need and comes with a hefty price.

[@frankbrowning4160]

Could you tell me how to extend the idle time so we could safely leave our pets in and cool with a/c on for like 25-30 minutes

[@da4944]

From the infotainment system, go into Settings/Vehicle. Switch off 30min Max Idle. This setting will default back to on after every ignition cycle, so you'll have to remember to turn it off each time you have your pets with you, or purchase a 30min Max Idle Eliminator module to disable the setting permanently.

[@brucedale7436]

How do you get that rear seat back to drop without the mod?

[@TheManToys]

There’s a latch. You gotta reach deep in the back.

[@da4944]

Lift the seat bottom part way, about 45 degrees. This will cause the seat back to move forward enough for you to reach in deep to the left of the headrest, you'll feel a very small round pin about 8 inches down. Pull up towards the roof. Wiggle the seatback back & forth to make it easier to pull. It's worth the $35 to buy the pull tab mod if you plan on using that space often.

[@omelo2006o]

It took me almost a full year of owning my truck to realize it had a sports mode.

[@TheManToys]

Sorry. This haven't happened to me yet. I couldn't tell you how to fix it.

[@da4944]

Sounds like a charging system (alternator) or BMS problem. Try resetting the Battery Management System (BMS). Power on without holding brake pedal. Do not start engine. Wait for battery light to illuminate. Flash high beams 5 times. Press & release brake pedal 3 times. Wait ~10 seconds, battery light will flash 3 times. BMS is reset. Power down. This will allow the BCM to relearn the battery status. If that doesn't work, take it to Ford.

[@da4944]

The "cameras" are actually driver attentiveness sensors for the Driver Assistance features if you have Blue Cruise or Adaptive Cruise Control. I don't have those features, so I don't have those sensors. To find out where the sensors are is simple. Shoot a video out of direct sunlight from the driver's seat. Pan the camera around the cab. When reviewing the video, look for faint rapidly blinking lights in the video playback that are invisible to the naked eye. The blinking lights are infrared sensors scanning your face to make sure you're paying attention to the road.
