In preparation for the end of my (initial) 3/36 warranty, what should I look for/check out that might need to be addressed before it runs out? I do have the Ford extended warranty, but it does not cover everything.

Have you had your truck since new? How many miles on it now?

Get your 12v battery tested (many dealerships test for free). Mine failed, got a new one 2 weeks prior to warranty expiration.

First EV rig? How are you liking it?
3rd one. Seems like each gen is better, and I love this vehicle. Also have an EV9 and its user interface lacks in comparison.

I'm at the 31.7K mile mark and that is a good question.

Thanks for all replies.

The Lightning is not a Tesla, but it is not that bad. And now that I have experience with the EV9 I find the Lightning is reasonably intuitive and hands off in comparison.

Similar case -with 2k left before the warranty runs out.

I brought my truck to a third-party repair shop and paid $250 for a detailed inspection report (brakes, suspension, etc.).

In my case, everything checked out well except the rear brakes, which had about 20% remaining.
