Also see their Lightning Platinum Black Edition in-person video.
Mine still stuck. Called Ford OTA customer service and they pretty much said nothing helpful that I haven’t tried - drive the car 30 minutes prior, don’t have it connected to the charger, switch off the automatic lights, turn on parking brake, offer up a burnt sacrifice… (Ok - they didn’t say...
2023 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT Yearlong Review: Road-Trip Range Strategies
We measure our Michigan Lightning’s MotorTrend Road-Trip Range at varying speeds and strategize how best to cover long distances quickly...
I got the 275/60-20. They are at both TireRack, Discount Tire and Ford (where I got them as they had a great deal with free install plus 15k points). I believe the 20’inch rims are standard except for the Platinum?
Here’s the Tire rack link but I’d check with your dealer too...
Wanted to (as promised) give people a quick update on how my Pirelli Scorpion AS+ 3 all-weather tires are doing.
First, some context – I purchased these all weather tires as added security for driving in snow, and my family with 4 drivers already has 2 cars that have full-fledged winter tires...
I’ve been using a Dakine pad with my Tacoma for years and haven’t noticed any scratching. The pad keeps the bikes from hitting hard surfaces and potentially (on my nice one) damaging the carbon frame when I’m driving on bumpy dirt roads. Also, I can put 5-6 bikes on a pad which turns the truck...
I did some research (looking at videos like this one) and ended up with the Raceface T2. Weather hasn’t been good for MTB, so I can’t give much feedback yet. I will say that keeping road bikes upright on it hasn’t worked well, though the MTBs stayed on for my trip to the LBS.
The rebate rules say that the base MSRP has to be below 50k. I imagine when Ford raised the prices for the 23MY this disqualified them. Very annoying as at that point we didn’t have a choice on getting the 22 or 23…
Bad news - checked the website again today and the footnote under the 2022 Lightning says the below, which seems to imply the 2023 models are not eligible, and 2022 models have until April.
1 After April 30, 2023, the Ford F-150 Lightning is no longer eligible to receive a rebate due to the...
Just got 4.2.1 today. Had the 4.1.1 update Jan 24. Have not done anything except going back and moving the toggle to connect to Wi-fi back on as it seemed to go off more than once.
Just wanted to put in a plug for Landmark Ford in Tigard. They were up front, low key on the aftermarket sales effort and did a great job on getting me a deal on both all weather snow tires and a (Ford branded) Retrax XR Pro tonneau cover. Highly recommend Mick Corliss as a salesperson. Got...
I wish I could tell you, but with temperatures in the 40’s, windy storms, commutes involving a lot of hills and drives through standing water it might be summer before I could do any kind of reasonable assessment. In 20/20 hindsight I should have kept on the OEMs and done a baseline but I...
I put on the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3’s. They have the mountain rating on the sidewall and reviews were great online. I already have two family members who put on dedicated snow tires in winter and did not want the hassle of changing a third car.
