It's really nice to use for remote starting it.
Is that a yearly subscription feature?

I'm not sure actually it might be included as part of the 3 year connected navigation on the truck

Not for our 2018. I don't think it is for new Ford vehicles either.

Good. I feel like most OEM's are jumping on the yearly subscription fee to run those items. The most ridiculous was Mitsubishi and the remote start feature. They took it off the fob and put it on the app that you had to pay a yearly subscription on. Then there was no idea what would happen to the app after 5 years. F that.

I do not live in Cali, I like in Arkansas, where it gets stupid hot in the summer, and still gets really cold in the winter.

Since I do a lot of short trips I use it to start it up before I get in to lit it get up to operating temp a bit.

I'll also use it when it's summer here to get a jump on cooling it down.

I also don't care to let mine idle for more than a couple of minutes. If for no other reason than gas is expensive.

I can attest to Sacramento valley being a stagnant hot mess. Id remote start there for sure.

I only preheat the car in the winter to help with ice on the windows or cool in the summer after the gym. Last thing I want to do is get into a hot car after a long hard workout. Lol

Unpacked my new weight distribution hitch and got it setup today. It's the Weigh-Safe True Tow middle weight.
