At this rate, the Midwest will never see one. Tesla chargers everywhere, and I can’t use one.

You can bet your dealer and Ford will take the easy out that your lift and tires did it. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ll be outta luck. I’m trying to understand the new fad of buying an electric truck and then putting off road or A/T tires on, a lift, and aggressive wheels thing. Not...

Thanks to this forum for information on snagging my Lightnings high voltage battery state of health. Pleased to see at almost 11,000 miles since August, mine reports 99.5%. Variance between cells is less that 0.02 of a percent. I plan to track it each month and see how it goes. If winter range...

SR or ER. I want an ER next time. ?

I tried to see SoH thru CarScanner, but I can’t get it to add to my dashboard. It in the app, but won’t show in sensors.

I can hardly wait for the Navigation expiration and renewal. Betting it’ll be a stupidly expensive monthly cost. I’ll use Apple or Google, BUT… what will happen to the trip planner and charging location coordination? Do thy have me/us over a barrel.

I suspect the plan is send the update notice through FordPass to anyone remotely affected. Mine is 2023 built in January, received April. The notice popped up in September, I think, and despite all the charging issues I had then, the update was never performed. I go in Friday for the update...

Great. My Lightning value is in the crapper, and I’ve only had it 3 months. The $12k in equity I had is gone. Probably in negative numbers. Thanks Ford and Feds. You sold the kool-aid, we bought, now we have vehicles we are stuck with unless we take a major loss. Glad I save money each...

Last week, I drove from Rockford Illinois to 35 NE of Chippewa Falls to hunt. All 150kW chargers. Added 45-60 Minutes to my normal ICE travel time. On the way home, I went thru Medford and down to Wausau and to Portage and back towards Rockford. All 6kW and 50kW chargers. It added 3-1/2...

Well, one of the main reasons I went Lightning is my yearly fuel bill was $8500 plus. Charging late at night during the lowest rate puts 90% minimum in my pocket. Since I went on the hourly rate plan, I’ve saved an average of $35 a month on my electricity bill, and that INCLUDES adding my...

Took the Lightning up to Northern Wisconsin this past weekend to get some woods exercise. Travel up I-90 from Rockford, IL to North Central Wisconsin was okay. 300 miles, three fast chargers (350kW) was a no brainer. Added about an hour over a gasser. Expected. Return trip along the other...

I believe it is telling you a door was open or opened when initially locked, or the truck was tampered with while locked. My 2022 ICE did that periodically. Annoying. I never figured it out other than when I accidentally hit the key fob alarm when squatting, the next door opening resulted in a...

Eeeew! Not my speed. Different strokes, I guess. Nothing, IMO, on the bumper goes with the truck. If you like it, you go! It’s your hard earned dollar.

Really not that hard. Take an oscillating tool, cut the bedliner out where the clamps go, and your done.

Yeah. After all the BS, I put on mud flaps. Absolutely NO difference. I’d be better watching how many strokes intermittent wipers take. After all, they do provide drag when above the cowl.

BTW, the battery bulletin does NOT mean the truck automatically “Bricked”. I just checked last night. My 2023 Lightning is under the bulletin. It’s been great in 5,000 mikes in about 5-6 weeks. Just don’t buy a Ford Charger. I have to plug mine in every night I decide to charge, manually...

I’ve run Cooper Discoverer AT4 4S tires on several ICE F-150’s. Love them. They are categorized as All-Season. I think a bit too aggressive for that rating. 60k wear was a norm for those, but I suspect with the AWD Lightning, it’ll be less. I can hear my tires (stock generals) crab in any...

One side note: I just installed a Ford Connected Charger at home. 60a breaker. 48a use by the charger. I actually see 10kW at night. Two nights in a row, I charged 29 miles in one hour and 3 minutes. It was supposed to charge at 19 miles an hour. All in all, I am very happy.

For me the savings is more than that. The $7500 fed rebate in April. I used to spend $700 a month in fuel a month. That’s $8,000 a year in my pocket. Then I get reimbursed for work mileage that is about $8000 a year. Really, it’s simple. About $16,000 a year savings. For charging, I...

Yes, I agree with all the OP’s observations. After owning about 25+ Ford trucks, this is my favorite thus far. I drive quite a few miles, and after I got a good price on the Lariat SR I ordered (after it sat on the lot for almost 4 months when I passed on it) I have no regrets. Sometimes you...
