Do Silverados have frunks? I bought battery electric vehicles so as to avoid gas engines and don’t want to go back. Besides, the frunk is watertight even in hard rain at highway speeds, and I use it.

my experiences with Ford help have been excellen. I once had charger trouble at home but not at DC fast chargers. Turned out the problem was mouse damage in the truck. While I was waiting for a dealer service appointment, Ford sent me a new wall charger but my dealer service appointment came...

I would prefer two parallel guard rails maybe 6 feet apart rather then a single extra-strength rail, and yes my Lightning ER weighs almost 7,000 lbs. The parallel rails would lower the speed of a truck but would do less harm to occupants AND might be less expensive to install. Or plant...

I just really like my Lightning. I could suggest ways to improve it, but a battery-powered Ranger or Maverick would not do it for me. I rode in mybrother’s new Rivian pickup. It felt clausterphobic plus I need at least as large a bed and my German Shepherd needs all the space in the rear seat...

Would it be simpler to just add a snow plow? And if snow is not a concern where you drive, perhaps you could cut holes in the blade for headlights, etc. with an angle grinder.

I also have a ‘22. What is the problem that the update fixes?

I had assumed the speedometer was working off data from the GPS just like the nav system. Seems from this thread that it works off the transmission except there isn’t one.

Was the outside temperature extremely hot? I had the wrench appear in really hot high 90s weather, but not since then. Dealer said to come back when the wrench symbol is visible.

Our heat went out in 10 degree weather 130 miles from home, mouse damage. I had the dealer install the $50/roll Honda capacion-infused tape and lots of the special $40/(small) healthfood store peppermint oil. 7 months without trouble. Online there are plenty of stories about all makes of cars...

At the beginning of July we drove about 300 miles with a canoe on top. (’22 Lariat ER at 72-75 mph) We got the Service Vehicle Soon message a number of times. So I made an appointment for last Monday. In the 4 weeks between when the light came on and the service appointment, the light never...

I will buy it if it came out of a Lightning. How do I proceed from here? My’22is not giving me trouble but I don’t want to have to switch to a rotary. If you can send me an invoice with paypal info, I will pay you that way. ([email protected])

Look for reviews and tests on the Tire Rack website.

The problem with winning a lawsuit to compel a dealer to sevice a Lightning is, do you really want your truck to be serviced by that dealer anyway. Not me.

Mine too.
