The phone was in the car. the keypad did not work and I was at a rest stop on the Interstate.

Same situation. I had to climb through my sun roof to get back into the truck. Not well thought out. I will never use phone as a key again. Thanks Ford, but no thanks!!!!

If the seatbelt on the passenger side is not fully retracted, you can get a squeak/tapping noise.

I have a 22 ER Lariat w/ 60K miles. When I first got the truck I had the ability to set a departure time; however, soon after that the departure time option disappeared from the mobile app (Android). I did not think about it again until a couple months ago. So, I called Ford. After over an...

The stock wheel/tire on my 2022 Lightning Lariat ER weigh 69 lbs. That year in the Platinum, the weight was 71 lbs. Rotating mass is an integral element of the acceleration/deceleration and the amount of energy that it takes/gives-back to the batteries. Notably, the Platinum had an estimated...

I find that if you gently tug on the wheel with one hand, the frequency of the "put your hands back on the wheel" alert will go down.

Heater went out on mt 22 Lariat ER. They refilled (eliminated the air pocket) in the coolant. Problem solved, but it took two visits. I tried the electric space heater and it tripped the breaker with only a 600w heater. I tried the plug in the bed and same thing. The only thing I can get to...

I tried to set a departure time to precondition the batteries about a year ago. It never worked. Then I started getting messages that the cabin was warmed and ready to go...at 3:19AM. Now I cannot even find the screen to set a departure time. I have been writing software for 54 years. I...

If the heater worked, I would use it. The dealer cannot work on it until the 17th. And, it is cold in Maryland today.

Not certain about the capacity of the inverter. I have a 2022 lariat ER if that helps.

I plugged in a different heater and when it hit about 1400W the breaker tripped. I reset everything and turned the heater on Medium and it pulled 800W. The plug and heater stayed on. BTW, I tried to use a wet-saw in the bed of the truck and it tripped the breaker immediately.

For the second time my heater does not work. The dealer cannot look at it until 12/17. So, I have tried to plugin a space heater and it trips the proPower outlet in the cabin. ProPower is set to 90w on the outlet and it does not allow me to increase the wattage to support the space heater...

Now you know why Elon is the richest man in the world. I have 32K miles on my ER Latiat. Only once did I try to find one and then charge to batteries. 4th location worked. After 45 minutes on the phone with EVGO. 3 hours later I was on the road again. Love the truck, hate the charging...

I have a 22 Lariat ER. I had the dealer look at it..said they recharged the AC...road tested...OK. Not OK. Last year it was HoTTT. Now it takes about 5-10 minutes to start blowing lukewarm. In 30 minutes it is comfortable. It is going back to the dealer after Thanksgiving!

Sun Run impressed me as a boiler-room operation in 2022 when I bout my Lightning. When the first person to answer the phone said I needed to confirm my order with a manager, I told them to get lost. I installed the smaller charger at both of my homes myself for a fraction of what SunRun wanted.
