  1. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    There's nothing that's perfect enough to totally satisfy everyone's needs at this time, and who knows if and when things will evolve to do so. You have to pick your poison. So do you want the Silverado's larger battery pack? You have to pay more than the Lightning to get that. But then you have...
  2. California Lightning Sun Visor Black Driver's Side w/Illuminated Vanity Mirror & Garage Door Opener (SOLD!)

    New open box stock. I have Two of these. $225 shipped to 48 lower states. Payment via PayPal. If you own a 2024 Lariat or Platinum that didn't have the garage door opener from the factory, these are plug a play and only require programming the garage door interface. I installed one of these on...
  3. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    True. I had to reverse what I'd known to be typical my whole life with ICE vehicles when comparing city to freeway driving on BEV's.
  4. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    Nobody here is "demanding" that you never charge past 90%. To the contrary, if you are going on a trip it is recommended that you charge to 100% and precondition just prior to departure. The owner in the article said his truck has 230 miles of range, and on his 130 mile trip from Fresno to...
  5. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    I've been an automotive enthusiast since I was a young teen. Hot rodded cars and ended up working as a Service Tech for over 22 years at a GM Dealership before moving into a Service Manager position at a multi line Motorcycle Dealership for the last 18 years of my working career. Always keeping...
  6. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    The Lightning owner at the beginning of the article who's unhappy with his truck chose poorly for his situation. If he would have purchased the extended range instead of the standard range, he would be perfectly fine with his Lightning and the writers would have been forced to look for another...
  7. What Products Do You Want to See Featured from RealTruck in 2025?

    Decently factory like integrated dash cams, possibly wireless especially for the rear camera.
  8. Sunvisor Homelink Swap - part # number and DIY

    Update: I found a source that had some new OEM Ford/Lincoln left (driver's side) black sun visors that were in plastic bags instead of a Ford labeled box with some kind of Ford ID numbers on the bags that didn't match any Ford part number. But they looked to be the same in dimensions and the...
  9. Did Ford change the motors or throttle response for 2024?

    Gave a friend of mine a ride just a few days after I took delivery. Turned onto a freeway onramp and gave it about 2/3 throttle. Scared the crap out of him.
  10. Did Ford change the motors or throttle response for 2024?

    Quite a few people have received the 1.4 update, and so far you are the only owner who has experienced what you are reporting.
  11. Squirrel Chewed Through Charging Wires

    My guess on the repair estimate is that they are replacing the harness. Sometimes a manufacturer will say certain wiring has to be replaced if damaged, that repairing the wiring and connectors is not a recommended repair due to certain factors. Edit: I see that the OP says they are going to...
  12. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    So I'll bet 90%+ of the platinum buyers have income that exceeds the tax credit AGI requirement.
  13. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    That is true. I'm not sure how much money you need to have/make before $7500 doesn't matter, and I never will.
  14. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    Maybe, but I'll bet he signs an executive order and tries that first. Of course that could tie things up in court and buy some time for people to take advantage well into the year.
  15. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    There's a good chance the $7500 tax credit will be history by the time any 2025 makes it to any dealership.
  16. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    Unless the dealer can't even figure out how to order a 2025 any better than ordering from the Replenishment center.
  17. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    Sounds like a dealer problem. That being said I just checked on Ford's website, and there isn't much left in their Replenishment centers it appears.
  18. Sunvisor Homelink Swap - part # number and DIY

    Has anybody here purchased the homelink module/button kit and installed them in your existing visor?
  19. Vehicle availability vs what the Ford website says?

    My dealer knew about the Replenishment program, but had never used it. They agreed to order my Lariat through the program, and it showed up at the dealership on a flatbed just a few days later. They said it was so easy to do that they'd be using the program a lot more in the future.
