  1. 400watt limit on Frunk

    That I could, however the frunk makes sense it’s dry, secure, and clean - and has 4 outlets with 2.4kw. To cut that usability by 80% because we close the lid is a design flaw. The end goal for this truck is to have 4 grass whips, 2 push mowers and 2 zero turns on trailer with 4 employees. All...
  2. 400watt limit on Frunk

    Testing some electric tools (Greenworks 80v grass whips) and setup chargers in frunk. Figured charge batteries in between sites. All was fine until closed up frunk and got the max 400watt message. Ford this a bit conservative, no doubt the reason is someone will stick a heater or something...
  3. Anybody have experience with the Pro SSV package?

    If you can get one its worth it, $800 upcharge on base Pro including lightbar. We were told we can order but 0 on Fords quarterly build plan so no date on if/when we would see it.
  4. Anyone try using a welder yet?

    The ProPower uses software breakers - ie 3601 amps and it turns off 240v circuit. Any tool that has a startup load will likely leave you cursing (compressors/AC/etc). That said the information you can get watching screen as a tool cycles is invaluable - watch an air compressor as watts...
  5. Ford Premium Connectivity

    The Ford Connectivity falls in same category of paying for wifi when everyone has unlimited data plans and tethering… options past there prime. The only preconditioning that works for a Lightning is parking in a heated (not just above freezing talking 70 degrees) garage. Any other...
  6. Wireless Phone Charging Pad

    Works fine on my iphone12 and Samsung s7 tries to melt my wife’s iphone15. Suspect it’s how much power the phones can take wireless - newer being higher = hotter - I’d turn off “fast” charging but her phone not mine *shrug*
  7. Electrical issues after towing in rain

    Solved the error, kudos to ice f150 forum - pull fuse 91 (not blown just remove and replace) resets module.
  8. Electrical issues after towing in rain

    Dried out, blown out - truck still giving Trailer Brake Controller Error - no trailer attached. No response from brake controller - normally it brings up a no trailer attached warning if I cycle it. Usually use diesel for towing, regretting the let’s use the Lightning lol. Next stop checking...
  9. Electrical issues after towing in rain

    Yep, neither handy at the moment. Just went to try it after sitting for 3 days - opened 7 pin still full of water (will try and wedge flap open so it dries…) - turn signal still doing funky chicken…
  10. Electrical issues after towing in rain

    Not a fan of the trailer plug design on Lightning with a flip down vs up as on my older Fx50s. Pulled a trailer 300 miles in rain, since disconnecting getting screen errors for brake controller and turn single is doing the “rapid” flash I historically attribute to a burnt bulb. Looked in the 7...
  11. Lightning Police Vehicle

    Completely agree with posters points, we operate an F150 xlt sr as a patrol vehicle. It’s in use ~16 hours a day and charges for 8. We are saving ~$90/day or ~$35k in fuel over 150k km annually. Planned two year/300k km cycle we expect to save $70k on a $72k purchase price. From a municipal...
  12. Efficiency Help

    There’s a F150 range extending song you need to learn it goes “I drive 55…” Your range is typical from my experience (have 3 different lightnings) all are comparable - only truck related difference is one has a headache rack/light bar and winter tires both kill range. The other range killer is...
