  1. Anyone know why Ford used the tailgate lights for backup lights?

    not only can you remove the tailgate but occasionally when taking a large load and putting the tailgate down for extra room legally you still have to have reverse lights. I personally like the difference vs the lower end models that dont gave the tailgate lightbar.
  2. My first 100k miles

    22k miles on my ER 2023 Lariat and also have enjoyed the truck thru and thru of course we're all going to have different experiences. Recently I noticed my door key pad is starting to loosen and now hanging out of the door. Has anyone else had this issue? I assume base warranty will cover this...
  3. PIT maneuver vs. 2023 Lightning PRO

    Hate that happened to you hope everyone is ok! Shame to lose another azure gray model out there. Hopefully you can find another one to replace it with if Insurance claims it a total loss.
  4. New Android Automotive coming to 2024 models

    We recently rented a 25' explorer with the android baked in and it was much smoother dash experience. The center screen being so much smaller then the lightning doesn't even compare. However I will say having the map integrated directly into the dash is very nice touch. I wish our trucks would...
  5. Drivers and passenger window flapping noise while up

    Just get some tape or tack and use it on those rubber sliders on the back doors. If you can get them to stay put it will not rattle when on the highway. I notice this happens when the air pressure inside the cabin changes from opening windows or sunroof. But as others mentioned it will go away...
  6. Share and Win a Gift Card! What’s the most annoying part of using your truck bed (day to day)?

    2023 lariat Lightning in Carolina I would like a bed mat that could cover the tailgate as well once folded down or up. I have hauled multiple loose items and cringe when the debris falls between the tailgate and truck bed hinge. Bonus points if you could roll the mat outward to help dump cargo...
  7. 20% tint too dark?

    In SC we do not have vehicle inspections so, I guess it boils down to the police pulling you over that day. I will say I did tint the head lights and light bar when I first got the truck as it looked amazing during the day but with the windshield and head lights visibility at night was almost...
  8. SHOW US ALL YOUR FORDS….

    Which blue is your favorite? 2023 Lariat ER Azure Grey 2013 Ford Explorer XLT Deep Impact Blue
  9. 20% tint too dark?

    35% is what I have on the front sides to match the back. But I strongly recommend also doing your windshield not only for the eyes but it truly helps to keep the cabin cooler. 😎
  10. Low Phone Battery Warning

    I believe it should only happen at 15% at least on samsung phones that's when the battery indicator turns red. But I too have experienced this message every time I start the truck and it comnects. Ever since the recent Ford pass app update that we had to reprogram paak for it's been buggy.
  11. Small adjustment to increase lightning sales: cool and heat the frunk

    Yes I agree and have a portable speaker that lives in the frunk but considering differentiators this would be cool to show off. Maybe for the upper trims only. It seems like every time I open the frunk heads turn to take a peak. Or they could go the rivian route and provide a built in portable...
  12. Small adjustment to increase lightning sales: cool and heat the frunk

    Heat and air for the frunk I can live with out. But why didn't Ford install some speakers in the frunk or tail gate? This seems like an easier accomodation and really would be great for trailgaiting or frunk gaiting ! I know they sell after market options for frunk speakers but it takes up prime...
  13. Samsung Phone as a Key Issue

    Key issues wa fixed for me after I reinstalled the key with fob. However every time I start the truck now I get a notification my cell phone battery is low. This used to only happen when 15% or less now it's every time I start the truck even if my cell battery is at 60% just some extra bugs to...
  14. What’s the next big thing ?

    Im not sure what the feature is called but on Hyundai you can get the vehicle to pull forward or reverse from a tight parking space so you can enter/exit with convienece. Considering the truck can parallel park it self why can it not move it self forward or back wards say 8 foot in a...
  15. Sudden PAAK failure

    I started having the same issues on my 23 ER Lariat Paak on my s24u. I just updated ford pass also and thats when I problems started. Version 5.28.0 I had to uninstall the app and start over with reprogramimg the key. It has held up thus far but let's see for how long. Any other fixes?
