It is really ridiculous for you to blame an owner of a vehicle that couldn't go the distance that was on the display for the trucks inadequacies. I made many 525 mile trips to and from my ranch with the truck and tried driving slower but the truck always came up short. I never saw any range...

The only bullshit artist here is you! I don't know if California has passed the bill yet or not but that is what they were looking into as a solution. The ambient heat outside is not the only reason for slowing down your charging speeds. It is just one of many. The best choice of charging is...

The slow charging rate is dictated by the Lightning to the charger via their onlboard computer. I had the 98KW lightning and traded it in today because you can't drive it long distance without having a problem with the charging stations or lack thereof. A normal 7.5 hour trip with a gas...

Ford didn't buy back my truck and BBB was no help so i am trading in the lightning and only getting $38,400 on the trade so if there are any of you having the same issues with their trucks be aware that the trucks resale tradein value isn't that high. I have had the truck since January 27th...

It is true of my 98 KW lightning and these are freeway miles without any city driving. So both are true for my truck. The speed that I drive is while on cruise control on I-10 west going towards El Paso so there isn't any speeding up or down or passing of other vehicles. It Come on, ignore...

The range of the Lariat with a 131 KWH battery pack is approximately 240 miles, at 100 percent, and on cruise set at 70 mph. This range will be lower when you get to some of the hills you will encounter. You should only charge at 100 percent when absolutely necessary because it will reduce...

Take it from another truck guy that currently owns 2 chevy's (3500 and a suburban) and 2 fords (F150 and an explorer), think twice about taking the leap. I get just under 108 miles of range at 80 percent charge and just over 117 miles with a 90 percent charge going 77 mph with my lightning. I...

You are going very short distances with your truck. I have been driving 525 miles in a day. Short distances are not what I am complaining about because the truck is great for the city. Once you get out of the city in Texas you are confined to just 5 charging stations in between your start and...

How did you debunk my assertion? The 98 KW only gets a range of 120 miles at 90 percent charge. Each time you charge to 90 percent it takes 66 minutes of your time and these are facts. You tow your camper alot but how far can you pull it before you have to recharge? If I can only go 120 miles...

I am a retired Army ve t I am also retired and disabled 20 year veteran who took the leap of faith to buy the 98KW Ford f150 Lightning and all I can say is that it was the biggest mistake of my life because you won't be able to get the range that you need or find a working charger when you...

I found that buying the F150 Lightning with the 98KW battery pack was the biggest mistake that I have ever made. Nothing but charging and range issues along with the dreaded towing of the truck 2 times because of running out of juice before making it to a charging station. Ford has refused to...

According to the motortrend F150 extended range chart you can only expect to achieve 34 percent of the range, on the low side, that your truck has depending on the speed at which you travel and when my range is 196 miles at 60 mph unladen you multiply 196 by .34 and you get around 67 miles of...

Sorry for the mixup. I realize now that I went off on the wrong person by misunderstanding your intent. I am just hoping that posting will give the next prospective buyer enough information to make an informed decision about Ford's 98 kw battery pack and what they can do with the truck. When I...

Thanks for the information. I will be taking you advise soon.

I just received my denial for my buyback request because they say that my ford did not meet the Texas lemon law standard when I brought it back 4 times for multiple issues and always for the battery pack not giving me range and having to be towed because of this issue. I guess a video of my...
