Hey yall! I ended up taking home a loaded 2018 Limited Max in White Platinum. Its awesome. I love it. Been playing with it, learning how to operate everything so I can teach my wife when she and the kids get back in town this weekend. Itll be her daily driver.
One thing though... Shes not going to like parking it in the garage. Shell have to go in and out of an oversized single garage door (10 by 8.) Its very doable for me... The parking stall was designed to accommodate a supersized vehicle like this... But I know shes gonna hate it.
Yesterday evening I was practicing the automated park assist in the perpendicular mode in the Lowes parking lot. Works as advertised. Nifty... so I drive the Expy home and tried to make it park itself in the garage using perp park assist. Honestly I wasnt expecting it to work, and I was right. ( It just never identifies the open garage entrance as a potential parking space. ) Which sucks because it would be a game changer for her. And I know, from a programming and tech perspective, that parking in a garage stall shouldnt be any tougher than parking in a parking lot space.
So Ford, if youre listening, please make automated garage parking happen! Thank you!
