Hey everyone, I've had my truck about one year now with 7000mi. I've had a really weird quirk occur 2x out of the blue within the last two weeks. It seems like my truck has a mind of its own. The first time I went out to my truck..key fob in hand to retrieve an item from the back seat. I had...

Dropped my truck off at the dealer and just got the call...they are replacing the nearly dead 12v battery. (LVB). Symptoms started about 2-3months ago and steadily got worse. 1. Truck would disappear off Fordpass and would not update. Could not do any remote functions or check charging status...

The article(interview) mostly tackles Ford's decision to adopt Tesla (NACS) charging and supercharger access. However, I also gain much respect for Farley here. He gets it. Tesla will always have their niche and their fanbase. Where Ford really is going to make the money is with Trucks, Vans...

A friend of mine had an issue with charging at an EA station in New Mexico. I am sharing as an FYI to new owners. He was able to contact me and we were able to troubleshoot to get the charger to work. EA customer service was no help at all and did not have a clue as to how to solve the problem...

My commute is 37mi roundtrip, M-F, 50% surface streets(30-40mph with sporadic stops) and 50% slower interstate(55-60mph urban interstate, usually no traffic). I live in upstate NY so colder temps in winter...15-35deg most common. I am getting a range of 225mi 'ish on ER truck in cold weather...

I hesitate to even give this idiot the time of day but here it is: Let's see..drive a standard range Lightning 75mph on a day with temps in the 30s with a 15-25mph wind. You predict the result. Also..this guy is a drama queen for the drama he creates for youtube clicks. Ugh. Note...

I'm seeing on FB group a possible Lariat SR for sale. Post claims it will be sold at MSRP. I have NO connection to this dealer or truck....no guarantees. I am just passing this info along. I'd suggest you jump on this quick if interested. New 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning LARIAT SuperCrew® in...

This is great news. I've been saying for awhile that someone smart would figure out truck stops were the perfect place for DCFC stations. Having reliable DCFC available at numerous truck stops would give people confidence to travel via EVs long distance. Much safer than driving to a deserted...

Just FYI... I was just passing Metro Ford on State St(Albany-Schenectady NY area) and there was a red Platinum lightning there.(not mine) Looked fresh off the truck..could see the shipping plastic and window sticker as I passed by. I am 99% sure this is NOT the dealer demo as that is a white...

I don't know if Ford uses BNSF to ship to California, but figured I'd post this here. "This limited embargo will impact automotive shipments as well as specific agricultural and industrial commodities."...

Ford responds to ridiculous dealer markups... https://www.carscoops.com/2022/06/fords-warning-to-dealers-warning-against-ridiculous-f-150-lightning-price-markups/amp/

I was late to the F150 Lightning party with a mid-June 2021 reservation. Made reservation with closest dealer to me, General manager and sales manager both assured me MSRP with NO ADM or add ons. However, although they were initially receptive....over the past few months they have been avoiding...

I've noticed a BIG uptick in media releases from Ford. I know they are entering a critical stage of the f150 release, but also had/has their shareholders meeting this week. I'm sure its no coincidence. In any case, I can't stand Cramer.. but I like what I'm hearing from Fraley with respect to...

Could be nothing, could be something or just fluff... I just received this email from Ford. Looks like promo material but curious as to why I got it NOW. I reserved way back in June. Has anyone else gotten this? Is there some type of subliminal message in here? The future of electric is...
