Looks like Venomrex only ever sold +12mm and 0mm offset wheels. They seem to not be producing anything at all anymore. I can say with certainty that those are not 0mm offset, otherwise they'd be sticking way out. So I'd assume what you see in the photos are the +12mm offset wheels.

I don't know how I could have possibly overlooked that! Mookie is our long time camping boy. And we just adopted this little travel lady this weekend to join in on the adventures:

That’s awesome that you’re traveling that far with the trailer in tow. And glad to hear there’s another Escape being towed by a Lightning out there! I’m a firm believer in the superiority of fiberglass trailers and Escapes are great examples of them.

I mean if it is a WDH with sway control, it’ll definitely help if a swaying event happens, so I think it’s really more of a personal question at that point for how much safety factor you’re after. For me, personally, between the trailer being small compared to the truck, having dual axles, and...

The hitch is a 6000lb Fastway E2 Round Bar WDH. However, I didn’t use it for this trip because I wanted to see how the Lightning handled it on its own. I’m going to move to a normal hitch setup without WDH to save 60lbs or so on the tongue. The Lightning doesn’t sag anywhere close to how much...

lol! The dealer didn't install it. I actually installed it today so I could stop paying non-Good-to-Go tag prices. We haven't camped at Fort Warden yet but I need to get there. I'm especially fond of Flagler since we were coincidentally staying there the weekend the Aurora Borealis was visible...

Since I see a lot of people doing utility-type hauling reports, figured I'd throw a camper in the mix since I know I'm not the only one who was cautiously optimistic for this kind of towing situation. First, some context: We live in Seattle, which means we've got an insane plethora of camping...

Nice! I've been trying to see if anyone has put the Raptor/Tremor side steps on a Lightning yet. I may do the same to mine. Just FYI, your side steps are actually installed backwards. The tapered/logo end is supposed to be at the rear of the vehicle. Surprised they mount either direction...

Does the Lightning use the same mounting points for side steps/running boards as the Super Crew ICE F-150s? My assumption is that any side steps made for SC ICE F-150s will bolt right on to Lightnings as well, but just figured I'd see if anyone can verify that before I waste money for no...

That is absurd and awesome

I have a 2024 Platinum and the Beosonic change did not work for me either.

I can't imagine a software improvement like this wouldn't be intended to get implemented on previous model years as well. As to whether each individual person will actually receive it is obviously a different question, since it seems there's multiple anecdotes of people not getting updates. But...

Was waiting to see if Ford would have the balls to bring back an exciting color (maybe some grabber blue hmmm?) for 2025. Instead, they just nuked the slightly interesting off-color and added nothing. That's impressively lame...

That's definitely weird.

Ah I’m looking at the Platinums that have like $12k discounts on their site. Assuming that must just be dealer discount since they don’t qualify for the tax credit.
