I was looking for a hitch cover myself but couldn't find anything I liked so I started designing my own to 3D print. My thought is because there is really nothing in the back identifying it as a lightning other than a small logo that nobody other than lightning owners know, I wanted to have the...

I had the exact same impression as you did prior to this thread. I thought it was just there but I am being told there is a setting to shut this off, so how I can't refute that. I haven't had a chance to verify the setting and then test it to see if it relates to what we are talking about...

I'll go in the settings and take another look. I also get the vibrate if I drift off center. That is what I thought the feature did. Not sure why anyone would want a specific option to be nagged that their hands are not on the wheel. If you need your truck to remind you of this all the...

I don't understand the logic if it's true that this is because of lane centering/keeping. So because the truck is going straight and between the lines, I need to be warned to keep my hands on the wheel. The point of those features is an extra safety net. Not to tell me I am driving straight...

Yes. I have gotten that message often myself since day 1. So not new behaviour. My wheel alignment is so good that I don't need a lot of steering input to go straight... But then the warning comes up and I have to jerk it. Too much of good I guess. Add that on the list of things to fix...

Okay...I get that the frunk is not the best choice for you but what has that got to do with anything. For me, my garage is tight from side to side and I have plenty of room in front of it, right where my garage to house door is. Instead of fighting with the truck doors, Its amazing to just...

pro power with truck off The reason I bought a 23 over a 24 (Both were available when I bought) was my dealer and videos of a Ford engineer stating that pro power with truck off will be updated on 22's and 23's. I am already miffed that it's been 16month and I still don't have it. But if I...

Finally had a chance to try some launches with traction control and advance track off. Unfortunately, there was no difference. I can no longer break lose and get wheel spin on dry pavement. Again, not saying it's a slouch, just saying I was able to spin my wheels easy when new. I also don't...

Since there is no new tech, price is going to be the name of the game for Ford to stay #1 in EV trucks. In saying that. The STX with bigger battery and low entry price is going to be the winner. With no EV credits I hope they can maintain or do slightly better than this year. Hopefully...

Sport mode is my prefer way of driving. Which reminds me of my hate for Fords software every day (ie. jumping through hoops to keep it in that mode). So the loss of spinning the tires is not due to modes. Actually, I am pretty sure full throttle in Normal and Sport are the same. Where sport...

I don't discredit anything you said, however, these are excuses for why you are okay with the status quo. It's the legacy auto way because they all followed the same script for a hundred years. The customer had nowhere to go, because the next company was even worse. The problem for them now...

I disagree... The iPhone is not a single device. It's got radios, ram, storage, cameras, batteries, BCM, cooling. Apple understands that the more they integrate modules together, the better and cheaper the end product becomes. Year after year Apple is combining more things into their main...

I also think something has changed in regards to acceleration. I don't know when it happened but I have noticed a difference. When I first got my truck, I could spin my tires from a stand still. I could probably even spin them by punching it while already going 20 to 30 mph. Now with tires...

WOW! You make some pretty bold claims here and try to pass them off as if they were facts. Let me help you by providing some actual facts. Yes Ford uses the SAE J2807 standard that most manufactures use to determine tow ratings. Do you even know what those test consists of? Its just a bunch...

I appreciate you correcting me with your buddy's opinion but I am going to have to disagree with him. I have been towing work trailers and holiday trailers for decades. I have experienced many close calls in my earlier days by teatering close to max tow ratings. The lightning tows like a...
