I’m a bit late to this but I had to delay receipt of our 2023 lariat by a week as the dealer in Pennsylvania could not legally release the truck to me with an open recall i haven’t investigated the law but it fit as it was the defrost system recall and that system is a PA safety inspection...

Lightning is our first EV. have a long work commute with three "mountain" crossings between home and work, all country roads. planned on a cyber truck at the original price but Ford got the Lightning out first and at a better price. also that stainless beast is really not my style. currently...

$0.22 / kWh 24/7. Pennelec (subsidiary of First Energy). been climbing in cost last year or so but since getting the truck Oct 2023 the lowest was $0.19 / kWh.

Firestone winterforce light truck work well for my lightning and my wife’s Tahoe. The car version worked great on my, now gone, 09 Charger RT AWD PA winters are easier but these hooked up when we had the big storms both ice and snow

I'm a little late to this chat but my 70 mile drive to the office on secondary roads has 3 areas with reduced truck speed limits due to the mountain grade. Truck sees the 25 mph truck speed as the speed limit for it, not the true passenger vehicle 45 mph limit. Without using some sort of GPS...

OK so i don't get this. I saw that some that ordered in August are receiving in Oct but my order says November and I ordered on day 1 of the order system opening, just in the evening not at 0500 that day. really odd prioritization. Is what is for a free item. Like others, I have a work around...

I've tried 17" and 18". 17's do not clear the front brake caliper on my lightning, the 18's are so close to the caliper that wheel weight placement on inside of the rim can interfere with the caliper. I advise skipping 17's

All, I have both a 2017 XLT and the lightning. The 2017 has 17" steel wheels. they do not fit over my ligtning's front brake calipers. You might want to try that 17" spare before you need it. Might fit over the rear caliper, I didn't try, and you could do a rear to front swap of one of the...

Taxman thanks for the comment. I haven't seen the full breadth of the corporate responses so I had some hope. I also understand that the group that monitors this likely has official limitations on what they can discuss.

Mrau, Thanks for this idea. i thought it would work but it actually lists the dealer I called that says they are not allowed to work on the vehicle. with EV certified selected it has basically listed every nearby Ford dealer. I tried other filtering options and it changed a few dealers but EV...

Thanks all for the comments and those articles. The person I spoke to was EV certified on a different brand himself. He also commented that once they sell off their current stock of the lightnings and mach e's they will not be able to get more to sell. I cannot say that the recommended dealer...

Sorry if this should be placed elsewhere. Today I finally got around to scheduling the recall service for the defrost heater solder problem and the customer satisfaction 12 volt battery monitor replacement. Service person at the dealer stated Ford has barred them from servicing any lightnings...
