What i am saying is likely due to the ER being able to provide more HP, it is likely either an upgraded inverter/motor (or both) to handle the extra current. Due to this, it should allow a higher regen going back into the battery when having heavy loads to slow down using less friction brakes...

Aftermarket may not support the Lightning for a few years on anything that is different. There just isn't enough volume for them to make any effort to do it unless it is a very slight re-design from their existing one. Plus, to design it they would need to get their hands on one. Aftermarket...

I am suspecting there is a big advantage for the extended range battery when towing, hauling heavy loads, or being hard on deceleration. The extended range is able to provide more power, therefore you could probably assume that it will also regenerate more which will put more energy back into...

Don't forget the lightning has a massive frunk that you can put things in as well. It is slightly larger than the trunk on a Toyota corolla but with a much bigger opening.

I reserved about 20 mins after reveal as I had to go through the account creation... didn't get any email other than the original one.

You shouldn't go through anything higher than the center of the wheel in any car. Even at that height you are asking for trouble getting the bearings all wet. Just because it "can" do it, doesn't mean it won't ruin something down the road. It is not likely to go even close to the roof - the...

I am an electrician in Canada but I believe the US would have the same ampacities and conduit fill.. The minimum conductor size would be #3. The minimum conduit size is a 1" conduit.

Ford may avoid selling the pro to retail customers by putting them off and prioritizing the lariat/platinum trims since they make more money on those ones. Them giving all the commercial customers a bunch of pro trucks instead of retail lariat/platinum likely won't happen as any company wants to...

I placed my order 20 mins after the presentation started and I am at 108271** There is one I found on the lost of numbers who reserved on reveal day and it is 10841***

If you watch videos of them showing the platinum with the tailgate open, the tail lights are the same. The tailgate covers up those reverse lights when it is closed. This is required by law for manufactures to do. Reverse lights and tail lights must be visible when the trunk / tailgate is...

Wierd that they would have 2 different tailgates. The one on the pro and xlt is from the ICE truck, but with the lightbar, the entire design of the tailgate is different as it is not a straight line going down. I think I am one of the few on here thats looking to go towards the platinum. I own...

That is a 12v 35ah battery, no where near the size of a regular truck battery so not sure if it can put out 400+ amps as that would be over 10C which going that high is not good for batteries. Oddly enough, that is the same size battery that runs my irrigation reel ? it is maybe 1/4 the size...

Shouldn't they at least sell a vehicle before building a second plant?

There is no definate way to know exactly where you are as they were asigning numbers from different servers. I have a close to the same number as someone that reserved the day after the reveal, but I reserved within 20 minutes of it going live. If you reserved within 12 hours of the reveal, you...

By the stuff that is standard on the platinum, it looks like the platinum is the same as an ICE limited. I dont know what else they would be able to add to create a higher trim as it already has everything.

If you're worried about someone using it, just turn off the breaker inside when you aren't using it.

Ah I see, I'm just trying to get a rough idea of when I would get it as we need a new truck for our farm. It may be a bit different on shipping than other models as it is right beside their ICE f150 plant which ships out a lot of trucks so they could be combined in the shipments of those.

Does anyone know how exactly the reservation numbers work? If you look at the list they are all over the place comparing to the dates. I reserved exactly 38mins after reveal, but my number is higher than someone that reserved the next day. There are also a few others that are higher numbers than...

108271** Placed about 30 mins after reveal (5/19/21) Langley, BC, Canada

Has anyone noticed in the videos that have been shown with the onboard scales? Both that have shown the platinum say 1300lbs max. Could this be the reason that the one video says it gets much better range than the rest? Maybe it gets more power and a bigger battery than the rest since the range...
