I wonder how many 1PD users compared to 2PD users are new to driving a pickup truck/ Ford F series? I’ve been driving a F series for most of the past 50 years. I think that Ford nailed the ICE F series driving experience with the 2PD on the Lightning. When the Lightning is in drive or reverse...

As an early adopter of a 22 XLT SR, I would have waited to get an XLT ER after Ford lowered the ridiculous $23k differential for an ER. But if I could convince my wife to drive an EV like the ETron or Lyriq then I would have her driving the EV and I’d probably have a gas motor Super Duty. She...

Looks like a good event. I won’t be able to make it though. Thanks for the invite.

My thoughts on this thread: 1. Most people are not going to be considerate of other’s “needs” at busy charging stations. 2. Asking folks to move from a high capacity spot to a low capacity spot when it is appropriate isn’t going to work unless there are financial incentives for doing so. 3. We...

For sale Cybertruck low miles, some “cosmetic “ damage.

This extra MachE performance upgrade is exactly the same as the $302 dollars Ford collected from me on my 2012 Boss 302 Mustang. When I bought the Boss 302, one of the two keys was the “Track Key” and it functioned just like the other FOB. $302 and a trip to the dealer to unlock the software...

I think we all need a Lightning super truck that can reach 150 mph and generate up to 6000 pounds of aerodynamic downforce to get to the lumberyard quicker. More details from Ford Authority

The Lightning range is fine. But even in ER configuration it isn’t quite as high as the competition. This is as few as 20 miles to nearly 100 miles of range. My point is that many people look at range as the primary benchmark for EV’s and gravitate towards the highest range. To get that highet...

I think the Lightning is a unique truck. It is the only one that hides amongst all the other F-150’s out there. All of the other electric trucks are readily identifiable as EV’s. This is great for anonymity which I like. I think it holds back many potential purchasers who want everyone to know...

I’m driving an XLT SR Lightning rental from Avis this week. They must have just got it in the fleet on June 6th. It had 70 miles on the odometer when I picked it up in MSP on Monday. The goofballs from Avis hadn’t charged it so it only had 53% charge with 106 miles of range. I knew that would...

For a mere $2.2 million, the 1,914 horsepower Rimac Nevera does a 1.74 second 0-60 with an 8.25 second quarter mile time. The Nevera has a top speed of 275 mph. It also holds the world record for top speed in reverse of 171 mph.

When I saw the post recommended a 45 mile detour via Emporia I laughed. Just what I would want to do is add another 45 minutes of driving to use a SC network. As I commented in January, the GMC dealer adding a 50kWh DCFC in Chanute was a game changer for the drive. The eastern Kansas charging...

The difference between the SR regular tow of 5,000 pounds and the Tow package capacity of 7,700 pounds is due to the additional battery cooling provided by the tow package. That is the only difference. All of the other mechanicals are identical. So if your not towing up a 10% grade in Death...

Owning an EV (here in middle America) requires a considerable amount of patience compared to ICE power. You’ll have to come to an internal understanding of that before you can be satisfied with one. It helps if your use case allows for nightly home recharging without the need for public...

Finally a 50 kWh charging option in the middle of the abyss. Chanute Kansas.

You have much greater patience than the rest of us. Having to wait three months for something as inconsequential as a Frunk failure is unacceptable. There should either be a way to fix the Frunk in place and allow the Lightning to be driven or it should be repaired with the highest priority.

I think The “one of the most challenging routes…” quote was referring to the entire Baja peninsula route. And not just the gravel road they happened to be on. Of course the challenge is how much off-road you do on the route compared to roads. A week to drive 1000 to 1200 miles shows how time...

Considering the lack of reading comprehension that many dealers have, the IRS better make this a bullet proof process. I can envision a variety of scenarios where the dealer gets things goofed up and a customer gets stuck with an unplanned $7500 tax bill come April 15th. I can also think of a...

Unless Ford has changed the Lariat tires should be: note that the all terrain Hankook doesn’t look like most aftermarket all terrain’s. The all terrain is a Hankook Dynapro AT2 275 60/R20 115T The all season is a General Grabber HTS 60 275 60/R20 116T
