I own both these cars. They both have their merits, but the F150 feels so much better built. I’ve been fortunate to have previously owned some other nice vehicles (eg Porsche Cayenne, Audi TTS, Jeep Gladiator, Land Rover). The Lightning is honestly my all-time favorite, with the possible...

:crazy: I foolishly assumed scheduled maintenance at the 20k mile level was included in my Ford warranty, just like scheduled maintenance has been included for all my other vehicles I've owned. There was no mention at the time I checked the car in that there would be a charge, although I was...

I damaged mine so looking for a salvage or other relatively inexpensive replacements to swap in. Thanks.

Where you were able to find the tailgate? I’m on car-part.com… is that the best place to look despite the 90s era website design?

Thanks and yep, paying $700 for the same tire that only gets me ~20k miles, along with the headache of having to go through the warranty process again, etc. doesn't sound worth it. I decided to buy a new set of Bridgestone DUELER A/T ASCENTS from Costco for just over $1k. As I mentioned in...

Nice. I went ahead and ordered a set from Costco. These are one of two tires Costco offers for the Lightning that are devoted .”EV Compatible”. Not sure how much that is worth, but I figured it should help any needed warranty claims. Costco staff said that they will honor the warranty if the...

Would also love an update on these. Debating between these and identically priced at Costco BFGoodrich - Trail-Terrain T/A

Does anyone who’s had the outer treadwear issue on the OEM HANKOOK ATs try their luck with a warranty claim? I previously got Bridgestone a few years back to honor a warranty on the OEM Jeep gladiator tires. I ended up saving about 50% on another set of Bridgestone’s.

Had these on my Jeep 2020 Gladiator and loved them both on road and off. Bridgestone also stood by its warranty.

basically the latter. They paid off the outstanding loan and also paid a market value amount on top of that. Combined, this was roughly equal to our nominal sales price for the car (ie they gave us a total between these two of $100k, which was roughly the price in 2020). However, calculating...

I think they wrote us back within a couple weeks max. It was quick and easy. I'm not sure how common this practice is.

Much happier with our 2024 Lightning XLT than our 2020 Model X. We had so many problems with our Model X that we sent a self-drafted/non-lawyer lemon law letter to Tesla in California in 2023. Remarkably, Tesla wrote back offering to buy back the car from us and pay off our loan. That was...

Thanks everyone. Definitely not looking to take any extra risks with my tires/wheels so I ordered a new tire to be installed tomorrow at my Ford dealer.

Any suggestions on the best place to buy a single identical Hankook AT2 replacement tire and getting that installed?
