Fair enough that they weren’t initially allowed but that is just foolishness to design it a way that it (almost) doesn’t allow it to charge on anything but a v4. Left side and almost 4 feet back!! Why not Front forward right. You never know, you might someday make a deal and be allowed on those...

When tesla has 80000 of the most reliable ev chargers, you probably wanna be able to easily plug into those. Ford made a bad choice there, front forward right would have been so easy. Im not saying the tesla is in the best spot, but they do get most things right. Front or rear charging doesn’t...

All trucks should have the charging port in the very front right. This would make any (tesla) charger accessible (towing a trailer or not) also by being on the right, you could access curbside public street chargers. the Lightning charge port is absolutely in the worst location, left side and...

Google- “Baader-Meinhof phenomenon” In all honesty though in the town i grew up in, it feels warmer than it did in the 80’s…. However storms feel the same, ocean is just as cold (and no higher). But all that aside, IF we were cooling, then it would be a big problem. IF co2 levels were falling...

This is @Ford Motor Company listening to the people…. And thats the problem. I talk to the majority of my friends and and they are really excited about “erev’s” specifically the scout. The problem is people don’t know what they want. A good example is the god forsaken shifter in the lightning...

If you plug in your rotary shifter and you get an error, the problem is with your rotary shifter.

You math is wrong, besides if you have 1000 tongue weight your rear will be sacked compounding the problem. Have you towed a lot with your lightning with a heavy load? Its a pos, it needs stiffer springs and then when you are not towing you dont want the stiff springs, that is the beauty of air...

Its basic physics, if the rear is raised it transfers more weight to the front

i own a camper special;) Lemme ask a question, you cant put a slide in in a raptor or tow like a “normal” f150 right? Why? Its the rear springs! Put hd springs in a raptor and then you can do all the normal f150 stuff, however then it doesn’t work offroad. Airbags solve towing in a raptor, but...

What? Have you ever used airbags? Airbags on the rear literally pits more pressure on the front axel. A shortcut would be to tow 10k without 1k tongue weight with nothing. However totally within fords recommended specs. Not every trailer has a wd hitch, or lets say you borrow a trailer without...

F250s are aluminium as well, I’m not trying to put a camper in the back tho, i want a “safe” option to tow over 5k without a weight distribution hitch

The reason it says this is because the rear springs are too soft, hence the question about the rear airbags. This is also true when pulling a trailer that doent have a weight distribution hitch, it is a horrible experience towing anything over 5k lbs. so what about those airbags that go inside...

i guess i need to read up on the mongoose, i’ve done forscan before…. These updates, or lack there of, are driving me insane

Got this update on my 22 lariat yesterday however there is no toggle and it doesn’t work. Thanks ford! What a joke, i assume i need a bcm update from reading above. I have an idea, how about send the bcm update first!? The software experience on this lightning is similar to my windows phone back...
