I want to point you to two threads on this forum. One with an Australian made protection plate for the the battery connectors, and one thread where a member installed the Raptor Skid plate on his Lightning. Something to look into...
Looking forward to the series! In seperate news; did you see Fox are dropping Live Valve shocks for the F-150? 😅 https://ridefox.com/collections/f-150-live-valve-shocks
I also have a set of those that I haven't gotten around to install. They do require some massaging/work in the rear, as I have power running boards. Do you think these would be possible to run with the mud flaps?
Can't you just order it at your local Ford dealer with the P/N? (RL3Z60286A72AB)
Anyway, here's some accessory to it: https://buckingrabbit.com/products/bed-storage-cubby-shelf
Is there a way to initiate that? It's been like this for about a month already. FordPass website says it's already installed. 25.2.4.9 is the latest I got on 12/23/2025
PS, I don't want to take over the tread from the OP, so let me know if you want me to start a seperate thread about my issues.
Thanks for the reply, and thanks for pointing me toward that tread. It has a lot of good info.
I do have the Carperformance TCU, and I got a OTA, but I am now hung up on TCU-25.2.8.5, which is not completed. FordPass works. PAAK works.
I might just have to try the Carperformance APIM, but I...
@daz9 Did you get the nav sorted? I'm got the same problem here. I use google maps, but the background systems for adaptive cruise control clearly uses SatNav data. My Lightning does not autmatically adjust the cruise control for new speed zones (I guess, it's looking for US zone signs, not EU...
@Ford Motor Company
Can the on-screen MAX defrost button be replaced by an air recirc button, since there already is an physical MAX defrost button under the screen? It's quite cumbersome to go thru the climate menu to find the recirc. Future software update parhaps?
Yeah, I have the Carperformance modem. So my auto updates work. So does PAAK.
What doesn't work is is the automatic cruise control. It does not adapt to speed when entering new zones. I don't know if the Lightning is supposed to to have that function? I'm just so used to it from my previous...
Well, here you go. This picture is from 2008. I bought the Mustang in 2004. Oregon car.
How it used to look.
Then after a road race course crash, I started to restore the Mustang in 2012. A house and two kids later, it's still not done.
Never mind the ugly ass rollers. Not what I'll put on...
Both battery and motors temp stayed centered all day yesterday. I was just out driving now, without pre-heat, and the battery temp was low. We have -24 C / -11.2 F here today.
As you may or may not know, there are a number of Lightnings in Norway. Ford Norway got ca 1000 Lightnings in 2023, all of them Lariats, and all of them Antimatter Blue. Indipendent dealers are also importing from the US and Canada. I imported myself, beacuse there was a lot of money to be...
