I wonder how many 1PD users compared to 2PD users are new to driving a pickup truck/ Ford F series? I’ve been driving a F series for most of the past 50 years. I think that Ford nailed the ICE F series driving experience with the 2PD on the Lightning. When the Lightning is in drive or reverse...

As an early adopter of a 22 XLT SR, I would have waited to get an XLT ER after Ford lowered the ridiculous $23k differential for an ER. But if I could convince my wife to drive an EV like the ETron or Lyriq then I would have her driving the EV and I’d probably have a gas motor Super Duty. She...

Looks like a good event. I won’t be able to make it though. Thanks for the invite.

My thoughts on this thread: 1. Most people are not going to be considerate of other’s “needs” at busy charging stations. 2. Asking folks to move from a high capacity spot to a low capacity spot when it is appropriate isn’t going to work unless there are financial incentives for doing so. 3. We...

For sale Cybertruck low miles, some “cosmetic “ damage.

This extra MachE performance upgrade is exactly the same as the $302 dollars Ford collected from me on my 2012 Boss 302 Mustang. When I bought the Boss 302, one of the two keys was the “Track Key” and it functioned just like the other FOB. $302 and a trip to the dealer to unlock the software...

I think we all need a Lightning super truck that can reach 150 mph and generate up to 6000 pounds of aerodynamic downforce to get to the lumberyard quicker. More details from Ford Authority

The Lightning range is fine. But even in ER configuration it isn’t quite as high as the competition. This is as few as 20 miles to nearly 100 miles of range. My point is that many people look at range as the primary benchmark for EV’s and gravitate towards the highest range. To get that highet...

I think the Lightning is a unique truck. It is the only one that hides amongst all the other F-150’s out there. All of the other electric trucks are readily identifiable as EV’s. This is great for anonymity which I like. I think it holds back many potential purchasers who want everyone to know...

I’m driving an XLT SR Lightning rental from Avis this week. They must have just got it in the fleet on June 6th. It had 70 miles on the odometer when I picked it up in MSP on Monday. The goofballs from Avis hadn’t charged it so it only had 53% charge with 106 miles of range. I knew that would...

For a mere $2.2 million, the 1,914 horsepower Rimac Nevera does a 1.74 second 0-60 with an 8.25 second quarter mile time. The Nevera has a top speed of 275 mph. It also holds the world record for top speed in reverse of 171 mph.

When I saw the post recommended a 45 mile detour via Emporia I laughed. Just what I would want to do is add another 45 minutes of driving to use a SC network. As I commented in January, the GMC dealer adding a 50kWh DCFC in Chanute was a game changer for the drive. The eastern Kansas charging...

The difference between the SR regular tow of 5,000 pounds and the Tow package capacity of 7,700 pounds is due to the additional battery cooling provided by the tow package. That is the only difference. All of the other mechanicals are identical. So if your not towing up a 10% grade in Death...

Owning an EV (here in middle America) requires a considerable amount of patience compared to ICE power. You’ll have to come to an internal understanding of that before you can be satisfied with one. It helps if your use case allows for nightly home recharging without the need for public...
