:crazy: I foolishly assumed scheduled maintenance at the 20k mile level was included in my Ford warranty, just like scheduled maintenance has been included for all my other vehicles I've owned.
There was no mention at the time I checked the car in that there would be a charge, although I was...
Thanks and yep, paying $700 for the same tire that only gets me ~20k miles, along with the headache of having to go through the warranty process again, etc. doesn't sound worth it.
I decided to buy a new set of Bridgestone DUELER A/T ASCENTS from Costco for just over $1k.
As I mentioned in...
Nice. I went ahead and ordered a set from Costco.
These are one of two tires Costco offers for the Lightning that are devoted .āEV Compatibleā. Not sure how much that is worth, but I figured it should help any needed warranty claims. Costco staff said that they will honor the warranty if the...
Does anyone whoās had the outer treadwear issue on the OEM HANKOOK ATs try their luck with a warranty claim?
I previously got Bridgestone a few years back to honor a warranty on the OEM Jeep gladiator tires. I ended up saving about 50% on another set of Bridgestoneās.
basically the latter.
They paid off the outstanding loan and also paid a market value amount on top of that. Combined, this was roughly equal to our nominal sales price for the car (ie they gave us a total between these two of $100k, which was roughly the price in 2020).
However, calculating...
Much happier with our 2024 Lightning XLT than our 2020 Model X.
We had so many problems with our Model X that we sent a self-drafted/non-lawyer lemon law letter to Tesla in California in 2023.
Remarkably, Tesla wrote back offering to buy back the car from us and pay off our loan. That was...
Thanks everyone.
Definitely not looking to take any extra risks with my tires/wheels so I ordered a new tire to be installed tomorrow at my Ford dealer.
yeah, itās confusing to me too.
I think what happened is a drill bit somehow went in (and thatās the part thatās closer to the side wall) and then the screw end came out in the tread area.
so it looks like thereās two punctures from the same drillbit, but I wonāt know for sure unless I try to...
For lower-weight ICE vehicles Iāve seen others comment that hole locations like this can be safely patched, even if tire shops wonāt do it.
But Iām wondering if the F150 lightningās weight and propensity to cause the sidewalls to flex a bit more than a lower weight vehicle raises issues with...
Thanks. I did not succeed in turning off the seatbelt sound. May have been unclicking etc at not quite the right speed. I only tried it once, but I need to get the truck into service for some other stuff so booked it in for this as well.
On my ā24 XLT with 7k miles Iām getting a driver seatbelt warning sound when seatbelt is engaged and dash console shows a green checkmark that the seatbelt is engaged.
Problem occurs intermittently.
Problem goes away after 10-15 seconds.
i ordered this set in 48ā to secure horizontally via a box link anchor, with another strap going through the box link and the handle of the can. I also like the yoga mat idea. Will report back on how it goes...
This is probably a bit of an odd question for an EV forum, but we are looking to occasionally transport a 20L / 5 gallon Wavian gasoline jerry can in our truck bed on smooth highway pavement (so no off-road securing needed).
Not looking to install a permanent heavy duty metal bracket with lock...
