  1. Great Easy Lighting Mod (LED Pods Backup Lights)

    I have something very similar on my truck - the Diode Dynamics Hitchmount reverse light + strobe brake light. Easy plug & play wiring loom, a 10-minute job at most to wire it. https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit.html It inserts into the hitch receiver. It supplements...
  2. Truck Campers vs Trailers what impacts range more?

    I remember that paper. However, I took it to mean a "Camper shell". The OP's camper equipment of interest looks much more like the hard case platform tents I used.
  3. Dog turned on rear seat heaters

    Oh Man, that SUCKS!
  4. New Ford Charging Adaptor by TESLA Compared to Orginal

    Do You mean the Tesla Magic Dock superchargers? They are clearly marked and location-filterable on the Tesla supercharging app. They will also charge any CCS-1 equipped electric vehicle.
  5. Adding power mirrors to XLT

    Looking at this thread... saving pennies. Just to repeat an earlier post, the 21 - 23 mirror caps are easily switchable, with three Torx screws, once You pull off the mirror glass. That makes the paint color far less of an issue. This might be the same between 21 - 23 versions and the 2024...
  6. Truck Campers vs Trailers what impacts range more?

    So I've traveled with my Timberleaf teardrop, and at one point I also had a RoofNest hardcase platform tent on the teardrop for additional preteen fellow camping adventurers. I'd like to add another consideration for Your decisions: our trucks are already TALL. Most places it doesn't make a...
  7. Cold Weather, Hot Data: Heater Power Usage and Exterior Temp

    Every really cold morning I preheat and precondition the truck during the final 30 minutes of my special EV-only Time of Use electric submeter's low rates window. I figure the mass of the truck's body and battery will keep a lot of the residual heat until I need to use the Lightning... better...
  8. Cold Weather, Hot Data: Heater Power Usage and Exterior Temp

    The presence or absence of the glass sunroof is likely another important factor for cold weather longer distance trips. On my former Mach E, the panoramic glass roof, although decently coated to minimize Summer UV insolation, was almost an open window in really cold weather for radiating cabin...
  9. I pulled a FedEx truck out of a ditch tonight

    Yeah I saw that thread and am adapting that exact idea for my truck, with a stronger attachment system that'll distribute the pulling forces directly through the ends of the body rails. Thanks!
  10. FCSP just breaks after almost 3 years? Need help

    This is good news and a great resolution. I just had my FCSP installed and I am using it every night.
  11. I pulled a FedEx truck out of a ditch tonight

    I'm working with a local machinist and a certified welder to fabricate a method to solidly attach a removable set of F250 super duty tow loops (part # 7L1Z-17A954-AA) to the rear frame rail ends of my Lightning for exactly this reason (bolded italics above are mine). Although of course a strong...
  12. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    I sometimes do this as well. BTW the 15-inch screen I had on my former Mach E was far more intrusive at night... the XLT's 12-incher is less so. Thanks!
  13. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    So I ran the IPC calm screen last night for about 200 miles while on the job. BLUF: I like it. Just enough of the info that is useful, without the visual distraction of the two large "gear" rings. Additionally, running at night through well-lit urban and darker suburban areas, I realized that...
  14. I pulled a FedEx truck out of a ditch tonight

    Haha - my Sonny Boy lives in Louisville Kentucky and I used to take Corridor H (the future I-66 continuation) and I-79 and I-64 all the time to go bother him and drink his bourbon see him. Once I bought my now-gone Mach E, I found the best way is to avoid West Virginia and go thru Western...
  15. Virginia FOR SALE - new Ford 2023 Lightning spare wheel + tire $200 + shipping.

    Bump -- missing an OEM full-size, limited-use spare for Your Lightning? Make me an offer... it's just sitting in the shed doin' nuthin.
  16. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    Thanks! Wow... as many times as I have cycled thru these IPC screens in the past 6 months, somehow I must have glossed right over THAT setting :rolleyes:
  17. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    So I tried to turn this IPC calm screen on yesterday after seeing this post... can't figure out how to do it. I have a 2023 XLT ER 312A with the 12-inch Sync screen. I assumed the IPC screens all have common features across all the trims - maybe I'm wrong. How do I turn this IPC calm screen...
  18. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    That's exactly where I stow my 4x RUD snow chains in their bag.
