[ANSWERED] How long is the Ford F-150 Lightning’s bed with tailgate down?

If you are wondering how long the Ford F-150 Lighting bed is with the tailgate down, the answer is: The bed length with tailgate down is slightly over 91″ (or 7′ 7″) In metric, about 2.315 meters. Specifically, my truck bed length measured 91 1/8th inches WITH the plastic bedliner installed and the tailgate down. If you do not have the bedliner you may gain a half inch or so. We have really enjoyed our truck for farm use and

What is Cfx Ves Website charge?! [SOLVED]

Q. I have a charge on my credit card statement for “Cfx Ves Website”, I do not recognize this, what is it?! Is this legit? A. This most likely is a legitimate charge. It is probably the Florida E-PASS website and payment for road tolls in Florida (cfxway.com) ✅ Maybe you or someone in your household recently paid a toll (sometimes it can be 3-6 weeks after a trip before they send you the toll in the mail). I hope

AT&T LTE speeds in Pierce CO [speedtest]

I have been in CO for work and to visit family. Part of our stay has been in Pierce which is in northern CO.

Grand Imperial, Silverton CO WiFi speeds

The Grand Imperial has traditionally been a lovely hotel in Silverton CO. The hotel’s antique charm and vintage rooms were the main draws: Now, however, their wifi speeds are also quite attractive: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5433605188 The connection has also been rock solid over the course of a two day stay. No disconnects and consistent speeds of 5Mb/s-6Mb/ This compares very favorably to a few years ago when most WiFi in Silverton was quite slow and spotty! It also beats AT&T 4G service in Silverton which currently maxes

Dell M6600, M6700, M6800 car PSU

Q. Yo yo hoss, can you hook me up with some info on a power supply that will let me use my Dell M6700 in the car? Gracias! A. Hola good sir! It is a bit tricky for the M6700, it uses a fairly large power supply so Dell does not even offer a car adapter that I know of 🙁 However, I did find a couple options I would recommend: #1 Traditional DC power supply that people say will run

Crossroads Inn and Suites, Salem MO WiFi review [EXCELLENT]

I regularly stay throughout Missouri for business. I normally test the speeds at every hotel I stay in. Recently I stayed at the Crossroads Inn and Suites in Salem MO. I have stayed there before, but they recently upgraded their internet so I wanted to run speed tests again. Here are the speedtest results: ~60.0Mbps D/L* ~12Mbps U/L* *average of multiple tests throughout stay.  These are some of the best speeds I have encountered. WiFi coverage was also excellent, both in my room and

Freedom of the Seas, enable HDMI input?

We recently cruised on the Freedom of the Seas ship, and all the TVs in the state rooms were Samsung TVs with the inputs disabled.
