  1. 2023 F-150 Lightning Standard Range Increased to 240 Miles; Pro Trailer Hitch Now Available; Order Banks Re-Open With Updated Pricing

    The product is exciting enough. No need for exciting or even vaguely interesting paint. That must be their logic.
  2. What Are The Best Winter Tires for an F 150? Blizzaks?

    Do the f250 wheels have 8 lugs? They have the capacity, but the lugs might be a problem.
  3. What Are The Best Winter Tires for an F 150? Blizzaks?

    Most ice f150 wheels do not have the required load capacity. Should be 2400 or 2500 pounds per wheel (1/2 axle weight rating). It may not matter if you don't load the truck up too much, but you should be aware that the wheels would not meet the spec for the lightning due to the truck weight...
  4. What Are The Best Winter Tires for an F 150? Blizzaks?

    Yes, many years ago. While the tread was good the truck was great with the blizzaks, much better than the Goodyear SRA that came in the truck. This was the previous generation blizzak. If you select them, they will be great. I did not drive very much in temps greater than 50 and don't generally...
  5. What Are The Best Winter Tires for an F 150? Blizzaks?

    I have hakkapellita r2 suv, r3 suv and hakka 8 studded on our volvos and Tacoma. I have a set of continental viking contact 7s set to go on separate wheels for the lightning (that isn't even built yet). All of our winter tires are mounted on rims so the change happens in my garage sometime in...
  6. Limiting Charging Current with Ford Mobile Charger or other chargers (30a dryer circuit)?

    I am not familiar with the Tesla charging options, but in our Volvo the charging screen let's us select the max charging amp, set the desired charging level, schedule charging. The driver's screen shows current charge rate in miles per hour and amp and expected charge completion time. If DCFC it...
  7. Limiting Charging Current with Ford Mobile Charger or other chargers (30a dryer circuit)?

    Probably a case of You won't change the settings, but a subsequent owner of your house may change the dial settings and burn the house down or trip the breaker. I sort of get it...
  8. Limiting Charging Current with Ford Mobile Charger or other chargers (30a dryer circuit)?

    The hardware limit should be set to the wiring to set a maximum charge rate (to not start a fire). If you want to charge slower than that, there is no reason why you should not be able to manually select a slower charge rate. My electric dryer has multiple settings. It should be wired so that it...
  9. Hood and Lightbar alignment.

    The reveal between the light bar and the hood looks different left and right. Driver's side has a bigger black space than passenger side. Then it gets much tighter above the headlight. It may be camera angles, but is the hood edge pushed in on the driver's side corner? The fender edge at the...
  10. Dynamic blending headlamps are impressive

    I do the same thing (not the lights, because I don't have my truck yet ?), but redundantly repetitive comments are not unheard of. .... You see dear, man-splaining is short for man explaining....
  11. Onboard scales/smart hitch removed on Lariat ER window sticker

    It may only be deletion of the smart hitch/scale. Integrated trailer brake controller is still included. We will see...it is still two weeks for me to get my sticker. Ford will probably come up with some other way to disappoint by then.
  12. Onboard scales/smart hitch removed on Lariat ER window sticker

    No trailer brake controller is huge. Yes there are aftermarket options, but if you want to tow anything to be at weighs more than 2 or 3 thousand pounds you need this. If you are taking away most of the package, then take the whole package and credit the whole amount. IF the trailer brake...
  13. Onboard scales/smart hitch removed on Lariat ER window sticker

    Give people the option. Let them choose the deleted options. Manage expectations and have happy customers. It does make things harder for Ford to offer the choices, but it is the kind of thing that makes everyone happy. "Your smart scales have been deleted. Here is $650" vs "Sorry we don't...
  14. Latest 2022 F-150 Lightning ORDER GUIDE Released! [Updated Monthly]

    So people who had delayed fcsp back in June got $500 and an extra 250kwh for their temporary inconvenience. Platinum owners with regular seats that will never be functional got $300. Scale/smart hitch delete get $650 for functionality that will never be present. First delivery people get a $600...
  15. Onboard scales/smart hitch removed on Lariat ER window sticker

    I know that it is not how things work, but it would be great if order holders (not yet owners) could be contacted and told that we need X number to go without a specific option and we are taking volunteers at xxx dollar amount. Work the dollar figure up until enough people accept. It should have...
  16. ✅ 8/15/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    Well, in an EV getting stuck in traffic does not hurt as much as getting stuck in a non-EV. Driving slowly consumes far less power than typical freeway speeds.
  17. Dealer refuses to sell the Lightning to the person who ordered. Marks it up by $50k and puts it on the lot.

    That would be a creative way for Ford to deal with ADM hiding dealers. Does it work for LoJack, window etching and greater than 78 percent nitrogen filled tires?
  18. Is 320 miles on ER possible? Not seeing it in the math...

    After Chevy agreed to buyback our 19 bolt I spent the next 5 months with it driving like a stole it (up to speed limit+5ish). When it was low teens to single digits I could get to consumption down to 1.3 ir 1.4 miles per kWh but any steady speeds brought it back up to the low 2s. I also went...
  19. American made content??? [Update: 50% U.S. manufactured]

    Spending 30 percent more is not palatable to most Americans, but some of us also fear (not really the right word, but it will do) that what could be a 20 to 30 percent premium would turn into a 45 percent premium due to corporate greed that America seems to love and protect.
  20. Dealer refuses to sell the Lightning to the person who ordered. Marks it up by $50k and puts it on the lot.

    It is the brand damaging piece of this behavior that should give Ford the teeth to take action against these dealers. The good dealers should want this to happen for the good of the brand and so the dealership model can still be seen as adding value.
