    Bravo, my good man. I am proud of your innovation and determination. You are making a great contribution to the CWD efforts. I look forward to hearing about your results.
  2. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    You'll experience what I have described sooner or later unless you always drive like a grandma. If that's the way you drive, I'm OK with that. BTW.... try to be kinder when you post and respond to a post on this forum. Don't cut people down for posting their issues. This forum is for everyone...
  3. New issue happening, soc % dropping upon departure, anyone else have this?

    Here is an answer to your question, compliments of X-AI (Grok-3). It's a great explanation and it makes sense: Grok-3: This question is about Ford F150 Lightning Trucks. Specially a 2023 XLT standard range battery truck. When I charge it to 90% and the get into my truck to drive it, within...
  4. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    I agree 100%. It's not the same truck I test drove and purchased..... for a premium. Bait and switch lawsuit if you wanted to take it that far. Kinda like buying a tesla model S for performance and getting the experience of a Prius. Ford should give us a notice and explanation for the need...
  5. What type of OBD-II Scanner and what App Z for the Lightning

    I need to connect an OBD-II data collector and see if anything odd pops out concerning my reduced acceleration. I have the Torque Pro app and an OBD-II scanner that I used for my ICE Explorer, but it doesn't collect the right data. Any suggestions?
  6. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    Yes, I had a full charge and the battery wasn't hot. I need to connect an OBD-II data collector and see if anything odd pops out. I have the Torque app and an OBD-II scanner that I used for my ICE Explorer, but it doesn't collect the right data. Any suggestions?
  7. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    The best of the best is a combination of a hot sports car and nice truck...... that's Lightning's reputation they need to protect. That was true with the older ICE Lightning trucks. They were fast as heck. This is why some people buy the electric Lightning, for its performance. It was a...
  8. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    Yes. I was using sport mode. Needless to say, I didn't impress my friend with the Lightning’s acceleration. Another missed opportunity to make a future Lightning sell.
  9. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    It's not an imaginary issue. I could even bark the tires in the beginning. Not now. I know my vehicles. I've had Camaros and a Corvette. I grew up in my father's car dealership. I have a heavy foot and a need for speed. My Lightning is a great vehicle that fits my driving style. It still...
  10. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    I bought mine used. However, everything was reset at the dealership for a new driver. Does Ford give you that impressive acceleration in the beginning so you'll brag about your Ford Lightning, then slowly take it away through pre programmed software mods? It's like the shiny soap the...
  11. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    Lately, I've noticed a small reduction in my ability to accelerate. I don't have any warnings or other issues. I tried to demonstrate my Lightning's ability to accelerate to a friend today and it didn't have that impressive take off as it normally does. Has anyone else experienced this...
  12. Truck smells like a catbox on hot and humid days

    Here is a YouTube video that shows 3 ways to clean a HVAC system in an automobile and eliminate the typical bad odors. I hope this helps you.
  13. BlueCruise subscription question - ever any discounts offered?

    BlueCruise should be cheaper so that Ford can learn from the guys who are willing to use it. Ford needs all the data they can get to make it better. My goodness, you would think Ford would appreciate the guys who spent the extra bucks on the Lariat and Platinum enough to just give them...
  14. Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

    My advice is not to wait on the "Ford Company" guy who responded to your post to help much. I got contacted by a similar person about a problem I had, and we exchanged emails a couple of times and nothing was done to help me. Your best bet is to champion this problem yourself and ask this...
  15. Charging While Driving w/ Gas Generator in Bed (Range Extender for F-150 Lightning) - Testing

    I'm like many on this forum, we are all looking forward to the availability of the CWD feature. Thank God for ambitious electrical engineers.
  16. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    My experience is that Ford customer service is totally dysfunctional and only waste your time. Call and find out for yourself. They think they are masters of psychology and can talk you into being satisfied even if they don't help at all to solve your issues. I had a case number for an issue...

  18. Run 3 phase tool (120/220v) from Lightning PPO

    That takes away the challenge and opportunity to innovate. The same setup can be used for anyone who picks up cheap, used industrial lathes and drill presses that are 3-phase. You could set up a 3-phase shop using this converter method.
