  1. Engaged off-road at 45mph

    Note to self; no high-speed off-road getaways on extremely loose surfaces. ;) -Zap
  2. Would you tow this?

    I'm reasonably qualified to answer, as we have a Jayco White Hawk 28 RBKS with similar weight and dimensions, and I'll say this; these trucks can pull it fine, but it's a *big* trailer to maneuver, park and especially charge with it attached. My dump trailer weighs more loaded, but I'm *way*...
  3. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    Too close to Atlas Blue. I like my 2022-only color limited... -Zap
  4. Range? What's the effect on range of various MPH?

    I often do actually read the fine print, and this is honestly some wildly unfortunate methodology... the Combined City/Highway and 65 MPH Cruising columns are performed on a dyno, while the arguably most important column to most of us; the 75 MPH Cruising "used computer simulations to estimate...
  5. Decisions...

    Blue *crushing* it! If mine weren't constantly caked with muck I'd do this. Looks great. In blue. :p -Zap
  6. Make mine a blue one, with a frunk...

    Absolutely true; I couldn't manage my 23 acres, animals and projects without at least one truck (we have two Lightnings, one of which I'm using to pick up 80 bags of concrete today- yes, with a trailer) but this would make a fantastic *fourth* car (we have a 'beater' Bolt EV as well)... wife...
  7. Make mine a blue one, with a frunk...

    It's a smaller frunk, Sir, but it checks out... Rented a C8 in LV last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the frunk capacity. Should have bought more drinks, it was 111 in the desert! Wife says I gotta wait for the full EV version no more ICE in our fleet :( still... Had a very Rapid Blue...
  8. Black Grill to replace grey boring OEM (yes, I've seen the wrapped photo)

    These are black plastic all the way through, and can be used with or without the (included) FORD letters... https://www.ebay.com/itm/386319697331? you *do* have to be handy enough (and brave enough) to cut a hole for the front cam though... Cheers Zap
  9. Jeep Recon INTERIOR First Look + New Exterior Views

    Ex-multiple RAM guy, FTFY -Zap
  10. Why it's better on the mountain... twenty degrees cooler in thirteen minutes!

    Hot as hell in town today, took a shot to show my wife... Got home to find it a full twenty degrees cooler without even 'cooling off' from the heat in town, just a thirteen minute drive up 'the hill', 1400' elevation more or less! Stay cool, my friends Zap
  11. Super Range!

    lol, this is the start of every trip for me. I live on the top of a mountain, and all the roads into town are downhill. I sometimes worry that if I start off at 100% charge (rare, for long trips/hauling), I'll go to 105% on the way down with the regen. Did you read that some journo just got...
  12. Why was Charger capacity reduced ?

    100% cost cutting when Ford realized they didn't have the hotcakes they thought they had. I don't think a retrofit would be even remotely cost-effective; IMO the cheapest way to accomplish this would be to sell and buy a 2022/2023. We *do* charge our trucks at 80A on a 100A circuit (200A...
  13. August 11 Ford Announcement Livestream - Register to Watch Here

    Here's to hoping someone mirrors it onto YouTube or something, I don't want to sign up for *yet another* list, and IMO this is a terrible move on Ford's part to gatekeep something they deem so important behind data collection... especially when people here are apparently having trouble even...
  14. '22 Lariat to '22 Platinum (Unicorn 🦄) Upgrade

    You got them to buy it back for the taillight issue? I let them replace it once, and since they didn't get it back together right the first time, I've just been living with a repeat of the moisture in there ever since... damn, I'd love to get back what I paid as an early adopter... 🤣 Cheers and...
  15. Amazing mileage!

    Hey, neighbor. Yes, it's awesome getting to the coast and back on a single charge. Even better if you charge at home, have TOU billing, or solar. We calculated that with TOU, a trip to the coast is less than ten bucks, where with my Hemi or Cummins trucks, we'd have spent $70-100. Glad you like...
