  3. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ā›”ļø ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Having owned BMW i3 with range extender, I believe that is NOT the answer. One of the beautiful things about EV is the very clean no maintenance technology. I hate maintaining a generator, am thrilled to have my Lightning as a backup power source. I have always owned Ryobi battery powered...
  4. Tri-Fold vs. Sliding Tonneau Cover

    I know this is not part of your binary decision of trifold or sliding… but I have to say I was thinking the same when shopping for a truck ten years ago.

  8. Power Management at Idle: Accessory Mode vs. Ready Mode

    I don’t have the Lightning technical insight others have shared but I can share my experience camping in my ā€˜22 Lariat ER. I had fantasized about remote camping with this massive 130kwh battery, powering everything. But, arriving at our destination at 30% charge, far off in the woods,. I found...
