🙋‍♂️ What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

[joelb1]

Any chance that you know before and after, same driving conditions, "miles/kw-hr" changes in efficiency?

The new set is about 5lbs heavier per corner than factory,
The new Hankook Dynapro AT2 is 41 lbs vs the original General Grabber HTS 60 @ 34 lbs....
Seems to ride a little more rough/harsh, can't tell on efficiency as I just did it today....
I'm sure I'll take a little hit, I've been averaging about 2.1 mi/kwh

Got my Fuel Vapors in Dark Tint wrapped in MT Baja Boss A/T mounted, can't wait to do some of those mods from this thread! I didn't want to mess with suspension so I left it stocked tire size of 275/60R20. Anyone know if FORScan can add the Platinum's propulsion sound to lower trims?

I didn’t realize the Platinum had a different sound? I’ve only seen a Lariat and my Pro in the flesh.

Check it out starting at like the 6:30 mark:

F-150 Platinum Propulsion Sounds

All the lower trims (Lariat, XLT, Pro) make no noise at all, I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of the noise itself, it's just that without it can be difficult to perceive acceleration. I know that's crazy but it's totally real lol. At the 11:30 mark you can see him take off after turning off the sounds. Mustang Mach-e has it in every trim. I've read an argument that it's actually a module they had too little of and decided to make it a Platinum exclusive to allow it at all.

We are just about ready to head out at 0830, SOC is 95% and preconditioning should starting at some point per the trucks autonomous decision, it's 40º at the moment, ride north to Nashua NH to visit family and demonstrate the Lightning's performance, they are seriously worried we won't make the round trip, (LOL).

I always wonder if people think these are filled with a few D batteries.

Yep, no noise on my Pro. I could see the utility of having a reference for the acceleration/speed. I’ve put 1000 miles on my truck in the past couple weeks, I’ve gotten pretty good at moderating the acceleration.

Installed the front illuminated logo this weekend. Highly recommend. Yes, it would be much easier if they matched the harness to the headlight connection, but it was not hard at all to run the wire to the fuse box. I also used #181 because I liked that it turned on during charging and stayed on after the other lights. Two socket sizes and a small trim removal tool is all it took. I did NOT have to remove the light bar as others have mentioned, just the front grille. The wire easily fed through the chase with the washer hose. Could have finished it easily in under an hour with any relevant instructions at all, but was not hard.

I don’t really think I’ll be doing the 10k service unless it’s Free. The tires are new and Ford gave us access to fill fluids. But I haven’t decided yet. Everything is so far so good which no issues so far except a couple of items that really don’t bother me.

I installed the tailgate applique. The dealership I ordered it through received the wrong one last week, so I was concerned if it would fit. One site said it wouldn't. But if you have a Pro or XLT, I can confirm it works. A little pricey for a piece of plastic but I like the look and I did get a couple of scratches on my last F150 from items overhanging the bed. Now I think I need the rear illuminated logo to be blacked out when not on and match the taillights when they active.

On a similar note, this dealership is not the one I picked up the vehicle from. But they are one who is willing to sell parts and accessories for pretty close to the Ford website promos AND they will apply your Ford Pass Rewards. Just the purchase of the truck had about $110 in value that I applied towards accessories. If you want to contact them, they will do the same for anyone else. Double dip and get a discount + apply rewards = best deal on accessories.

Looks pretty good. I’m still holding out hope for an aftermarket front and rear light bar for the peasants in Pros like me. Or a factory option.
