At full blast, yes there is a small vibration that feeds back into the steering wheel. As you mentioned in your post, the temps dropped and the noise stopped. I wouldn’t worry or be surprised they say no trouble found.

My truck makes this noise every time its hot out and the air conditioning is on. Its the compressor doing its thing. I see your in WA where its usually not warm or hot out. Every Lightning in the south makes this noise, sometimes it doesnt stop either. It just depends what demand your putting on...

2023 Lariat ER, purchased new on 11/2023. 55K miles and charge to 80 every night. DCFC about 30 sessions a year.

I am highly concerned now about insurance rates and spare parts. Ford says they will support the Lightning for the following 10 years. What happens if my tail light goes out 5 years down the road? Is my insurance going to total it because parts simply do not exist? Am I holding a bag of bricks here?

This still leads to oil changes, maintenance, etc that those of us got away from with the Lightning. I guess my next EV will be a Rivian if I ever decide to get rid of my Lightning. So sad to hear our beloved fully electric F150 is done.

If Ford really pushed marketing correctly, put butt in seats and educated customers around charging, range, etc, the Lighting would be neck to neck with ICE sales.

Apprentice and training programs are the way to go. I got my aircraft maintenance license in high school, payed $0 for it. I could see your nephew making what he does working for BMW. Im sure he probably works extra hours or hustles labor to make it work. But 120K at Ford? Thats hard to believe.

Thats marketing lingo to get people in the door. I really dont think dealer techs are making $120K. Im sure Ford constantly underquotes labor hours. Ive had friends move on from dealer to heavy equipment. Much better hourly rate, union and no constant squeeze between the OEM, dealer management...

I still wish Ford would bring back the route planning and pushing from your phone. I could plan from my bed the night before and push the route to the truck when it was ready. That plus this update would be killer. Also, Brian if your’re reading this, zone lighting back on the Ford app would be...

How many miles on your 2023?

Wow, this seems to be a thing with 2025s. This would drive me nuts. I have very sensitive hearing myself. I can hear the blue cruise driver monitoring camera frequency even when driving down the road 🤪 Its in the 15-25 kHz range and its just ever so annoying.

Yes. You can also just use MAF cleaner too

Thought I would revive this thread. At 45K, my OEM Hankooks were down to around 4/32”. I could have honestly squeezed out another 6-8K miles out of them if it were city driving BUT, when on the highway they kinda feel like driving on ice if its raining. The vanity in me wanted wither the...

If it does not charge then I would schedule an appointment. If you happen to have access to carscanner, upload a screenshot of the HVB section.
