I did an 1800 mile trip a couple years ago and came back with a strained muscle in my chest. Realized it was caused by this, trying to maintain constant pressure on the wheel so I don’t have to jerk it every minute. I have to be more cognizant this now and just jerk it every min instead of the...

My 23 XLT had an MSRP of $78k. Features wise it’s basically a Lariat, just says XLT on the side.

Sold our 2015 Elantra and bought our 2023 Lightning, rate went up like $10. Granted, the Elantra had become the highest stolen vehicle in our city due to a ticktock trend…

It doesn’t work with the powered tail gates. My XLT came with it, didn’t realize it wasn’t standard on all Lightning’s.

Doesn’t work on Lightning tail gates.

They somehow were able to unlock it. That’s the most confusing part. Got into the cab, took my sunglasses, left the $700 car seat. They didn’t bother opening the frunk and taking all my tools.

My tail lights were stolen. Dealer replacement parts are $5000. Or there’s eBay for $1400, clearly stolen from somebody else. Anyone gone the eBay route? Sounds like I’ll still have to get the sensors calibrated at the dealer and another module replaced on the driver side for $1500.

XLT Extended

Anyone who took advantage of these Manufacturer‘s rebates get taken advantage of with the Federal rebate by the dealer? I bought mine in late February of 2024, got the $9000 manufacturer rebate (how it’s listed on my sales contract) with 3.9% APR and the understanding I would also get the $7500...

yeah, it’s completely gone.

I traded my wife’s 2015 Hyundai Elantra when I got my 23 XLT, I was shocked my insurance only went up $10 for the last month of our 6 month term. Our insurance was already high though because her car was the most stolen in our city, the only reason I wanted to get rid of it, because it was nice...

Maybe I’ve missed the forums on here about this but if not I don’t think this gets talked about enough. Seen some things on Reddit about it, but when I bought my XLT, one of the big selling points was what all I could do with the FordPass App. For me it was the monitoring of the ProPower...

Same thing with my XLT, nothing I read in the forums fixed the issue. Took the dealership a week to figure out what was wrong because nothing was sending errors to the computer. In the end they replaced the frunk struts and it’s worked fine since.

My 23 XLT with tow tech and max trailer package shows the scale was removed on the window sticker.
