It has been a while for me too. Just have to go back to the manual (ugh) to find how to do it again

No, once you gain entry through the keypadf, you try to start and the screen pops up with a screen asking for 4 digit code you have created. Punch it in and you are off and running.

Some of us are very actively using our trucks. I use my fob several times per day to open Frunk or Tailgate. Having PAAK is awesome. On occasion, I forget my key in the house and, rather than going back in, I just fire my ford app on the phone and off I go! If all else fails, I still have my...

Like everyone else, I love my Lightning and would never return to an ICE pickup. Like everyone else, I love my Lightning and would never return to an ICE pickup. My 2023EV has been trouble-free and very efficient, coupled with my Solar system. Price of fuel for ICE is just making my pay-back...

Ford used a conventional resistive heating system in the 2022-23 Lightnings. In 2024, they went to a heat pump. Additionally, I only use the heated seats and steering wheel but my temps rarely drop below 25 degrees in the mountains.

I have 29k miles on my 2023 Laredo ER. my average mileage over this time is 2.4 miles/kwh. I have learned to drive differently which has increased my efficiency. This includes limiting speed to 70-75 mph (5 over limit)- which took time for me to get used to as many speed past me. I just...

Generally, when I go camping, I have 4-5 adults in the truck along with 300-500 lbs of additional stuff. I top off my tires at 40 PSI to roll better with the additional half-ton weight.

The heavy Lightning is fine on level, smooth roads like freeways and my tires would have probably lasted 50K+ miles. I live in the mountains with curvy mountain roads which accommodate over 80% of my driving as I mostly stay local. As a result, I had to change at 20K miles when my tires wore...

I made 27k on my original Hancook tires. I replaced with Michelin Defender 70k guaranteed miles. I don't think it will make it. I live in the mountains with lots of curved roads, they seem to be lasting the first 10k better than the Hancook.

I have over 30k on my 2023 ER. The truck has 'taught me' to do easier starts and slow down a bit which saves lots of electrons. Much of my driving is to and from my house up in the mountains 8 miles from a town (resulting in just getting 25k out of my first tires). I have light A/C on about...

I see. Much more complex than mine. I am 76 yrs old and retired also but still build. Hope you can get your truck inside as it really prolongs the condition of the truck. Blessings...

The pop-out in my garage was my solution to the short garage. I described it in another post but it has disappeared from this string!

I had the same problem with my truck being too long and tall for my garage. I first popped out the rear wall 12", leaving the 6" stem wall in place and walling in the pop-out to just underneath the 16" eave- like a bay window. I supported my rafters with 2x4 kickers and put a 4x10 header...

I don't care what it is worth on the market. Like you, my last truck won't be sold till after I have gone to meet my Lord.

Thank you very much for that great information. Since I rarely charge away, a membership fee would not work. I did register at Charge Point last year but rarely use it as they have no fast chargers over 62.5 Kw in areas I drive. Still love my truck!
