There was a recent ish post about a couple of people having the wrench icon, but with no loss of power. It ended up being the coolant diverter valve failing. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/powertrain-malfunction-with-100-power-code-p0de9.31639/

You know it’s bad when @TaxmanHog has to roll up the sleeves and start tinkering.

As others noted, we all have to do our deep research on these vehicles prior to purchase. Or if you can afford it, just buy the highest trim available and that way you know you got everything 😀

Agreed. A v6 would be huge. I think Scout is planning on straight line 3 cylinder.

There’s a huge amount of space under the bed where the spare tire is. Scout Motors is aiming to put their generator in this location. So I’d give up my spare tire, but not my frunk.

It does seem like most of the used ER Lightnings that I see lately are in the $40-45k range right now regardless of trim (with miles under 50k). I do wonder what used prices will do now with all the trucks coming off lease and it being discontinued.

You just need one of these

Yeah warranty will be longer with the 2025. But feature wise I’m sure the platinum has a few more bells and whistles.

This is my theory on why Ford might be keeping the Lightning assembly line fairly intact for an EREV version, which in theory simply adds an engine into the frunk (or under under the bed, TBD). That way, if in 2-3 years solid state or some other significantly cheaper battery tech (sodium...

I just don’t believe Ford on this one. That is just an insane amount of money. Although none of us can prove it, they had to have allocated losses under the Lightning program that were barely/remotely associated with it so they could maximize the write off.

This is great stuff. I could envision parts of this used in a Lightning ad.

I had to stop reading when I reached $0.06 per kWh at home. I had to go for a walk to temper down.

I wonder if the very last Lightning to roll off the assembly line is still on a lot somewhere. Makes me kinda sad to know they couldn’t even celebrate the last one rolling out since they didn’t know it at the time. I heard they produced just shy of 100k Lightnings?

I think we all needed this slam dunk easy fix post after the big news this week.

Let’s not forget they also cancelled the e-transit van too.
