Ownership Report for VIN 10205

[Whammy Bar]

For the next owner of VIN **10205, here's some info for you:

The Good:

• Truck is cosmetically immaculate (ceramic coated, interior had rubber mats and an easy life)
• Ceramic Tint all around and on sunroofs (20% Front/50%Rear/20%Back/20%Sunroof)
• Be the first person to get every update and post about them
• Eibach Pro Kit Suspension set at 2.9"/0" and is perfectly level and aligned
• Wiring/USB power supply is tucked in headliner to left of rear view mirror
• All TSBs have been completed (Ping Pong, Rear Light Bar, Wipers, Dash Tray, etc...)
• Always charged with long term ownership in mind....

The parts you'll need to love:

• HV Battery has been out 3 times
• Key and PAAK only works on front doors (bluetooth radio issues on rears?)
• Passenger front seat has a rattle, as does the door card, and something in the sunroof
• Rear sliding window rattles if opened (TSB completed but didnt fix anthing)
• Get a random ding every time you turn it on
• Drivers door seal flutters when going over bumps (door has been adjusted 2x... keeps moving)
• Almost all the clips under the frunk were broken by repeated service visits... get those replaced.
• An infotainment system that makes Temu electronics feel like they're powered by a supercomputer.

It was a fun experiment for the 20k miles I owned it. If you can get it for a good price and don't care about having a rattle free EV or a HV battery that's had more hands on it than a parade of beggars, this is a great truck. Truck was repurchased by Ford at the end of March 2025. Look for it soon with a rebranded title near you.

Thanks to those that gave suggestions for what they'd do if they could do it over again. I picked up a used Tesla Model 3 Performance for things that don't need much of a truck, and will give my F100 some more seat time when I do. My kid loves the farts and the white seats (excited to see how long that lasts).

out for now Lightning fam!
