I'm curious to know where you learned the "heaviest Lightning" is 5,500 pounds. I was told it's around 7,000 and a quick google search confirms that for the ER (6,900 pounds). I remember watching a State of Charge YouTube video where he tests the new SilveradoEV and mentions its curb weight is...
Feb 2024 I bought a buyback (e.g., lemon title) 2022 Lightning Platinum from Capitol Ford in Charlotte, NC. I bought it sight unseen (other than internet pics) up in northern Virginia. I have zero regrets. I love the truck. All the issues I've had with it are minor and were fixed under warranty.
I'm sorry brother. This really stinks. And I apologize for all the people above saying you, not the truck, is the problem. For a lot of people here, the Lightning (or EVs in general) is their hobby and way of life. It's definitely NOT for me. The reasons you have detailed, are the reasons I do...
I LOVE my Lightning, but would NEVER own soley EVs. I have a Platinum (obviously ER) and the range during the winter is a joke. The heat kills the range, I mean kills it. I'll drive a round-trip 30 miles, no faster than 65mph (mostly driving under 50) but with the heat on. Sorry, my wife wants...
I can speak exactly to your question. This past February I bought a 2022 Lightning Platinum from Capital Ford, AND it was a lemon/buy back. I never saw the truck in person until it was delivered. Because of the lemon title I got it at a great price. I love it. I've had minimum problems with it...
I disagree entirely. I have a 2022 Platinum. I live in Northern VA (near DC). Temps have been in the 20's. Keeping the heat at 72, driving between 50-55 miles an hour I can watch the GOM range drop 1-3 miles per minute, averaging about 1.6 M/KW. Heat is a HUGE draw on the range. Driving in the...
I noticed this sound shortly after buying the truck and getting it home back in February. If I park the truck, turn it off, but remain in the truck a very loud POP comes out of all the speakers, even though the truck is off. It will continue to pop every 1 to 1 and-a-half minutes as long as I...
Has anyone noticed the SOC is now displayed on the dash? I just noticed it a few days ago.
I'm trying to post a pic of my dash but can't figure out how to attach the pic from my phone. Doesn't seem to work.
Ryan, I was looking at your photo with the hill in front of the Lightning and I thought, "That looks kind of like California. I wonder where this guy's from?" Then I checked your name and status and saw you are in Cali. Nice. That's where I'm from.
