I'm adding a shitload of lights, radios, winch (and God knows what else) so I'm planning to set up a secondary electrical system independent of my stock system. NOT a “dual battery” but an entirely independent electrical system. I don’t even want to hear the “well, you modified the factory...

I think that's why the site is "free". For a deeper explanation, research "Capitalism".

I went with the "SE" and I love it! A week after I installed it, it rained like holy hell for a month straight and not a drop in my bed. I went with the SE because I plan to install surface anchors on the outside of the bed so I can strap stuff down on the top of the Tonneau. The “SE” doesn’t...

The cure for Lightning "Range Anxiety".

Not yet. I'll post picts when I'm finished with it. I'll make sure and post good pictures on the relay and tap as well.

No I don't but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. You might need to use solid state relay though. I'm not an electronics engineer but I have had to use Solid State Relays for projects in the past. I went to the surplus store, bought a bag of various 12v relays and wired them until I found...

This IS the solution. I have my grill filled with single LEDs all wired exactly like this. Bosch Relay. Summit Racing... Six bucks!

"Eveready"

I'm glad you all "got it". Last time I posted that I got roasted by a bunch of angry Lightning fans. lol

I wouldn't worry about "battery capacity". Just make sure you order your Lighning with the "Tow Package" and you're "golden"!

This technology is moving so fast, you made the right decision. If you can afford to wait a year or two, your options are going to be MANY and you might not have to deal with Ford's "ourS HIT don't stink soF UCK YOU!" …customer service attitude.

There WILL BE aftermarket upgrades. Just give it time. ALL the cameras on the F150 are dissapointing by 2022 standards.

I wanted to put wider tires on mine but my tire guy brought up a good point... “Wider tires are going to splatter mud all over your mirror cameras”. …something to think about if you have the 360 degree cams.

Why do I have the option of filtering out Lightning topics on one PC but not the other? Same OS, same browser, etc... I'm really happy that so many people are ordering the F150 lightning and are in a position to be the Guinea pig for the rest of us but I really couldn't give a Guinea pig's ass...

Mystery solved... (and of course it was HERE the whole time!) https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/deep-sleep-mode-updated-with-detroit-free-press-article-about-12v-battery-drain-issue.1691/page-5#post-81045 They put it in "Deep Sleep Mode" to prevent it from draining the battery while in...

The list is too long but of the “relevant” vehicles I’ve owned… “67” MGB “68” Firebird Formula 400 (before they were called “Formula 400”) “70” Ford Torino “71” El Camino “78” Chevy Full Time 4x4 w/454 "85" Mustang GT “2000” Mustang 5.0 NONE of them had the startling power of my 2021 RCSB F150...

Is it just a coincidence that my Ford Pass stops working when my truck is at the dealership or do they have a way of disabling it? When they were preping my new truck for delivery, I had the Ford Pass activated and received an alert when they opened the doors. Then it stopped. After I picked...

I foresee my next truck bieng an EV. But right now my power grid is just too unreliable to be able to count on charging my EV at home. That will change in time. And when it does, I'm looking forward to getting an EV Truck. But WON'T be a "Ford"! After 8 months and 7 rescheduled build dates...

Yeah but "range anxiety" is an emotional thing. It's more "perception" than reality for the very reasons you lay out. But it's "real" and it's a problem.

I “get” the whole “go green” thing and I’m glad Elon Musk has shamed and frightened the auto industry into refining the EV. And I KNOW that EVs aren’t really going to be a viable option for the masses until the “Range Anxiety” issue is addressed. But… When my Dewalt battery dies I replace it...
