  1. Most important Lightning secret: how to release a stuck charger cable

    That is what I thought. I don't see any ice build up, the latch release seems to be moving all the way (I have an identical EVSE I went and compared as well). The plug does seem to wiggle a decent amount. The vehicle charged fine over night and initiated a charge this morning for a few mins as...
  2. Most important Lightning secret: how to release a stuck charger cable

    Should the emergency unlock in the trunk work on an L2 charger that is stuck as well? Or is that really just for DCFC plugs?
  3. Brakes

    Just had my truck inspected (3 years+1 month old now, 34k miles) and the shop said "all 4 brakes" and "rears really low". We've used this place the past few years for inspections, independent shop and they haven't really tried to upsell anything before. I've replaced brakes on 4 of my different...
  4. RIP RAM BEV

    Yep, I'm 100% with you. I'd even say it would be great if they had it they should offer even smaller battery packs (like I'd almost gladly take a like 75-100 mile range for my truck) assuming the generator is portable enough to easily setup.
  5. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    I have specifically avoided my F150L on multiple trips in the past 3 years of ownership because of the range/charging limitations... The ER version would possibly have made it doable on a few (I used ABRP to compare the trips between my SR and ER), but really the DCFC charging curve hinders it a...
  6. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    Ah, appears yeah the 2026 doesn't have it anymore. 2025 WT probably still does (has the older infotainment system from what I can see, they upgraded the 2026 hence it doesn't have it anymore).
  7. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    For what it is worth, I believe the WT still has Car Play/Android Auto? I agree that was quite an odd decision for them. I'm with you on it generally not being worth the upgrade for me as well (1.99%!), but I was thinking if I was cross shopping a new truck without already owning my Lightning...
  8. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    I'll be perfectly honest... I would have a hard time picking a lightning still over the silverado if I was actively looking for a new truck. The range and charging curve is just such a large benefit to the silverado.
  9. CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

    Hmmm.. took my truck in today and I swear this TSB was showing on my app and on the rep's computer when I made the appointment... And they don't show it on the paperwork or app anymore (did another TSB today on the paperwork and still showing on the app). Is it possible they just determined the...
  10. Harvest Program 25H02

    Ah, didn't know that happened (first time logging in for months). Any recall of anyone doing it/how long is took?
  11. Harvest Program 25H02

    Anyone receive a letter from Ford this past month? Just got one titled "Harvest Program 25H02" I can't really go without my vehicle (work), and I had heard battery module replacement services can take multiple days/I don't think there are vehicle loaners available at my nearby dealers.
  12. DIY: Installing Passive Entry To A 2022 F-150 Lightning XLT

    It's been a bit since I've followed this thread... Are you saying you bought 2 handles here? Or you went with the second one instead of the first?
  13. Adding Homelink Interior Rearview Mirror to 2024 Lightning Flash

    Can you take a pic of what the frameless mirror looks like in your truck? Looking through it looks like you can get the framed ones (like the ebay link) for like $50-60, some with the compass. I'm not afraid of building out my own harness, so probably worth the $200 savings to me... just curious...
  14. Adding Homelink Interior Rearview Mirror to 2024 Lightning Flash

    Ah... Would the OEM ones not work? Not sure if this is 'plug and play' like it says? https://www.ebay.com/itm/335636257562
