I've tried to like the HD trucks as an alternate to the Rams (horse trailer towing) but just can't get in sync with anything Ford. They have the 10sp and all but the minute you tow heavy they stay in 4th gear the whole time... just like the Ram/Cummins. They just don't make sense to me at all.For sure! I have never been a Ford fan and this one was my first, and will be my last for a good while. I'll check out the Raptor when it comes out, but Ford just doesn't do it for me with anything they have. I LOVED my 392 and cannot wait to have one back.
On the CarPlay, thanks for the tip. In both Jeeps, I had CarPlay and Bluetooth active and practically never had an issue. I am on the phone a LOT, and while I like CarPlay, sometimes I just need to hold the phone up to my ear and talk on it. In my previous Wranglers, I could just rip the phone off the cord and it just switched from CarPlay to Bluetooth almost instantly. It was great. Then if I wanted CarPlay back, I would just plug the phone back in. I've had the issue you are describing in my 392, but it was so rare that it's almost not even worth mentioning. In the Bronco, if I was connected to wireless CarPlay, if I went on my phone to switch to a Private Call, the entire head unit would freeze, the Bluetooth would die, the wireless network would fail, and the call would ultimately fail. I would have to turn off the Wifi and Bluetooth off on my phone, and call the person back. Total shitshow.
I don't have wireless CarPlay in anything here today but hopefully Apple will address this. Keeping the phone off the head unit's BT pairing should help though.
