    Remember the old days? Maybe not available right now, but why not? Manual Locking Hubs for Electric Vehicles If you’re looking for manual locking hubs for an electric vehicle (EV), the good news is that many of the same brands and designs used in trucks and SUVs are available for EVs — but...
  3. Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

  10. Blue Oval Says Next Gen Ford F-150 Lightning Customers Will Be Long Distance Drivers

    Another example of real life with a Lightning, on a 500 mile trip made last week: I like to use the "upper portion" of the battery. The Columbia River highway usually has winds and you never know which way will be blowing until you are in it. I am old, so a bathroom break at each stop too...
  11. Failing bearing in front drive unit, just diagnosed at 112,647 miles.
