I'm thankful my dealer gives me one of their courtesy cars to drive whenever they need to keep my lightning. This is the sign of a great dealer, Dahl Ford, Davenport, Iowa.
I don't use my lightning for traveling but if I did I'd like to see for come up with an extended battery that would fit perfectly in the bed and would plug into a special connector that allows that battery to parallel up with the trucks battery. You'd still be able to use your truck normally...
This audio off problem appeared out of the blue after going shopping, returned to my truck and audio off.
First time with that audio off problem just today with my 2022 platinum. I reset my sync using steering wheel vol up vol down and skip forward buttons for 10 seconds. Didn't fix the...
The Toyota Prius high voltage (HV) battery typically has a nominal voltage of 201.6 volts. This is achieved by combining multiple battery blocks, each containing individual cells, wired in series. Snap-on
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

The HV battery is comprised of numerous...
I'm sorry I didn't mention anything about a ram charger. I'm not even sure what that is. Does it have anything to do with the lightning. What is a ram charger?
As a lightning owner who purchased my lightning to get away from the use of gasoline this concept of using a generator to charge my lightning doesn't make as much sense as just purchasing a hybrid that utilizes a HV battery to extend its range.
Charging at 19.2 kw would require a very large generator that had at least a 20 kw run output. My ford 80 amp charger never charges at the full 19.2 kwh but.closer to 17 kwh output.
Well I'm 75 and just bought my lightning platinum 3 years ago. Probably the best investment I've ever made since I'm now doing most of my charging with my excess solar energy.
I'm going to pickup my truck after the dealer having it for a week. It seems this recall is all about a particular HV battery module. And in my case that defective module was 1 of the 3 battery modules that I already had replaced. So my dealer had to drop the HV battery to get serial numbers...
Finally getting my truck back from dealer for repairs to this recall. I as told they got the parts in so I dropped off my truck. But in fact no parts had been ordered because Ford needed serial numbers off of the defective parts before they'd send out the new parts. The part that was causing...
I personally put the blame for high costs on unions. I'm not anti unions but the unions greed for higher wages resulted in our manufacturing moving to countries with lower labor costs.
Every time our minimum wage increases the companies pass those cost on to their consumers. This increases the...
As robotics continue to improve the USA will be able to compete with labor costs of other countries. Our countries labor costs have gotten out of control. Personally, I blame the unions greed.
In 1979 I was with International Harvester during their 6 month strike. All the workers understood...
All ford has to do to avoid the tariff loss is to build in the USA which is the whole idea of the tariffs. We can't make America great again if unless we manufacture our own products.
