  1. Is This Petty?

    I just wish that my 2024 Platinum was available with Black Interior. You have a very rare bird. Great find! Ass far as Homelink, Level 1-2 charger, Tesla Adapter, and lights n running boards goes here is my opinion. HomeLink- Ford made a mistake removing them but can be added for about...
  2. Grab Handle

    Both my wife and I use the grab handles all the time. Also when rear passengers get in they tend to use the ones on the rear also. We have powered running boards and they are much better than the fixed RBs. They are wider, extend out more and extend lower. I’ve never slipped when using them...
  3. Swap 23 Lariat ER for 24 Platinum am I crazy?

    Responding to my 9 month old posting. I was wondering if EVs were doomed after listening to State of the union speech. Here it is 9 months later, tax credit was eliminated, funding for EV infrastructure was killed and the Lightning was cancelled. I think my concerns were well justified...
  4. Enclosed Trailer Towing Limits???

    It’s good to find someone as anal as I am when it comes to payload, tongue weight etc. I don’t expect to carry over 3000 lbs in the trailer. Do you think I need a WDH with a 7’X16’ enclosed trailer? Trailer sway can be ā€excitingā€. I’ve towed 5x12 uhaul trailers many times without a WDH fine...
  5. Enclosed Trailer Towing Limits???

    Question for those who have towed with the Lightning. I will be moving stuff from our cabin to a new location about 120 miles away where I can keep an enclosed trailer. The shortest route only has one DC Fast Charger midway and to charge the trailer will be needed to be unhooked. Can I make...
  6. Why the Lightning hate?

    @chl Chris, Ugh 😣 you made me remember all the things I didn’t want to remember, Things like the horrible smog, iron lungs, plus before vaccines measles and more recently a friend who died with the flu and. 2 friends who died from Covid because they were anti-vax. We have progressed so much...
  7. Why the Lightning hate?

    That is not unusual for many EV owners. We on the forum are the nerds that want to know everything. I have a friend who has owned a Cadillac Lyriq for over a year. He has driven it 15,000 miles already. It amazes me when he calls me with basic questions.
  8. Pro Power Onboard now available on FordPass app

    I also live in Florida and last year power was out for 3 days after Hurricane Milton at our cabin where we evacuated to. The Lightning was able to power the house using the generator inlet I had installed. With our 2023 Lightning the truck needed to be running to maintain House power. This...
  9. Ford what the heck! What about this!??

    Yep had same thing yesterday. Drove it around the block and miles to empty populated accurately on the app.
  10. Pro Power Onboard now available on FordPass app

    Drove around the block and miles to empty is now showing BUT When I go to the PPOB page on the app it shows Outlet Power is Off when it’s actually ON. The PP OB is turned on. I have my Frunk freezer powered up and running. The freezer draws less than 90 watts but with that little current it...
  11. Pro Power Onboard now available on FordPass app

    turned the app off and on and now ppob shows BUT my miles to empty shows 0 miles.
  12. Resale value for the F150L Platinum

    First, he paid too much for the 2024 Platinum Lightning. Socond, Red for sure is a slow seller with trucks. Back between 2022-2024 I was ordering F-450s and flipping them after 6 months. At that time they were very hard to find on dealer lots and dealer inventory was slim. In fact I had an...
  13. Resale Value change

    I didn’t intend to minimize the vandalism, political or otherwise. While I support the right to peacefully protest I believe that those who cross the line and vandalize or loot should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. They should be brought to justice and if found guilty they should...
  14. Resale Value change

    I understand. With all the DOGE stuff going on I had to hold my nose when I got the 2026 Tesla's earlier this year. My friend even put tape on the Tesla logo on his Tesla Wall Connector so his partner couldn’t see it and complain to him. When Teslas were being keyed and burned up my wife was...
  15. Resale value for the F150L Platinum

    My 2023 had a bottom line MSRP of $81,840. Before Destination fee it was $79,845. I collected the $7,500 tax credit on that truck.
