Here's another data point for this conversation: Last weekend I drove to our Vermont campsite, which is about 80 miles, one way. I almost always use Bluecruise set at 67 mph. I normally get 2.0 mi/kwh with average driving conditions. On this latest trip, I was really loaded with materials and...

I agree with Jiji. I experience the same SOC changes during our cold winters. Can't recall seeing this in the summer. But I can't reliably remember that far back anymore! :facepalm:

Thanks! I'll be needing new tires soon. I've used Defenders on my previous truck and my wife's vehicle and always had good luck. I wasn't sure how they'd perform on our heavier EV trucks. Good to know you're satisfied with them. Thanks again!

Great information, thanks for giving us something to compare with our own personal experience. Which Michelin tire did you select?

I don't know if the allegation is true or false. My '22 Platinum felt somewhat slower when merging onto a highway after I had my 30K maintenance, which included a ton of dealer installed software updates. I'm really not sure because I don't push my truck hard (At 75 years of age I'm more...

I just had my ‘22 Platinum truck in for 30k maintenance. The dealer updated the software in a bunch of modules while it was there. I noticed the tone changes immediately after picking up the truck after the service. No other work was done other than tire rotation.

Completed. Brian, I requested in my survey response that Ford please increase the time the driver can use the volume control dial for setting the fan speed, heated seats level, cooling seats level, etc. The time is way too short to safely drive the vehicle and make the desired selection before...

My ‘22 platinum has been the best vehicle I’ve ever purchased - and I’ve had some damn good F-150’s. If it was damaged in an accident and the insurance company totaled it, I’d try to buy a used ‘22. That being said, you need to be acutely aware of range limitations and your driving...

I recently joined a Hyundai forum for my wife’s new Santa Fe hybrid suv. Straight away I noticed two things: 1) you are correct about the kind of people on this forum. The Hyundai forum has more of the “other kind” you mentioned. I love the Lightning forum and the people that contribute to help...

I think it will be a good choice for some buyer’s needs. My Lightning perfectly satisfies all my needs so I’ll be keeping it as long as possible. One point I haven’t seen made is the ice rpm’s. OEMs must design the engine for constant rpm’s to satisfy generator demands. Even inverter style...

I agree with everyone's tips on how to get the most range. I have a '22 Platinum and this is my 3rd winter with the cold temps of New England. Nearly 3 full years of data consistently show I can only count on 62-65% of the GOM range after it has been charged. I drive mixed highway/city and...

You're correct. I went back into my account and looked at Blue Cruise and saw the original expiration date - and the renewal showing. So I should be all set but a confirmation email would still be nice!

Yes it does. Hopefully I can show the screenshot.

I just signed up thru the Ford pass app and it worked for my '22 Platinum. My original trial was scheduled to end in October, 2025 and now it's October, 2026. I took a screenshot as recommended here on the Forum. Not sure how long it takes to get the email confirmation, but I'll be keeping a...

Thank you, MICKEYAO! I really appreciate all your efforts to educate us about our batteries. I don't always understand everything I read the first time, but the info is there and as my knowledge base grows, I can return to it and understand more. I hope you continue to share your expertise...
