  1. Tesla destination chargers level 2?

    I saw this adaptor on the EV2GO - A2Z - NACS to 1772 and free shipping ! Adapter
  2. Heating - Temperature Adjustment

    -30C or +10C (-22F, 50F) I have never noticed any issues, I always use the precondition and the truck is always perfect inside temp and no fogging every time ... I use cabin temp of 22C/ 72F and the truck preconditions every morning and every eaving for my travels. I always leave it in auto...
  3. Blind Spot Assist System Fault: Fix post #19

    I think you're right, last week when I hooked up a trailer, the dash gave me the warning that blind-spot monitor would be off while connected to a trailer. All the trailer lights worked though, turn signals brakes everything.
  4. Will the tariffs affect prices currently on lots?

    Very true, I stopped yesterday at a GM dealership - they have a charging station I wanted to try out. So while I had 20 minutes during charging, I talked to the sales manager - looking around on a Saturday mid-morning and no other customers in the place. The manager was with four other staff...
  5. Will the tariffs affect prices currently on lots?

    With the slow down in sales, Ford Motor Co taking 10k off the MSRP and the Dealer motivated to move the last few 2024's off their lot in Jan/Feb - and knowing 'turmoil' was likely coming soon, I got my lightning at a good price Feb 2025 on a 2024 model. If you can get the truck at the lowest...
  6. Is there really a need to rotate tires if tread wear is symmetrical?

    If I don't rotate the tires every 10,000 miles, then all that I got left for maintenace is washer fluid refilling ! LOL. Actually though, for people with Winter and Summer tires, we are rotating tires twice per year all the time, hardly think about it. Good idea to mark DF, DR, PF. PR with a...
  7. V2H possible with other equipment?

    Seems unlikely - we still have three different types of EV charger plugs...standardization seems to be lacking so far.
  8. Last day! It was fun expensive and …

    For those planning to keep the truck a decade, the "market" is irrelevant. The purchase price was set when they bought. I compared two F-150's the ICE and the Lightning - over a ten year period the ICE would be double the cost total with fuel, than the EV with charging. -I mostly home charge...
  9. Delivery Day!

    Thats what we are all here for, to help one another ! Besides, this is still fresh in my mind, so it rolled off the finger tips pretty quickly. Enjoy the new truck...and rolling past the gas stations..when you wave at them, try to use all your fingers :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
  10. Delivery Day!

    I gotta settle down before 'Officer Friendly' spots me one day, but my first couple weeks after getting the new truck I just couldn't resist the temptation to blow the doors right off those spoiler-souped-up-modified-exhaust-wannabee-race-cars...it was just Too Funny to silently pull away and...
  11. Delivery Day!

    Also am a recent (6 weeks now) XLT owner in NW Ontario region, LOVE the truck, Few things I found so far that may help you: -Spend a bit of time navigating the new truck menus - learn where to find 'stuff'. -Change the default hot spot to 'off' and blue-tooth name ("Lightning" kinda stands...
  12. Missing Bolts...SMH!

    HEY ! Those are technically called "Ugga-Dugga's" A "Ugga Dugga" which is defined as a unit of measurement, often used in automotive workshops, representing a combination of time and torque, roughly equivalent to 14-16 foot-pounds of torque per Ugha-Dugha. These units can vary by region...
  13. V2H possible with other equipment?

    I have a full home solar battery system - with 115kWh home battery. The 'easy' way for the truck to back up the system - although certainly not the most efficient, is to run a EG4 Chargeverter from the truck to the house system from the truck box outlet on propower. The EG4 can run from 240 or...
  14. 34" tires on stock - THEY FIT

    I plan on using the stock tires for summer, and get a dedicated winter set on rims for winter: Anyone have any experience with Bridgestone Blizzaks' DM V2 on a Lightning? - wondering about the softer rubber vs heavy truck ... only in cold weather mind you, but still...any experience out there?
  15. 34" tires on stock - THEY FIT

    I would start with the 40-42 psi Ford recommend - your new tire is just a taller ratio, not any wider patch.
  16. Best practices for extending the LIFE of the battery?

    1-2% per year x 10 years = 10-20 % degrade (80-90% remaining capacity) Good deal ! - and then take the battery out of the truck, and use the remaining capacity connected to the solar-battery system for another ten years after that. {and after 20 years, my own 'remaining reserve capacity' will...
  17. Great Deals on 2024 Lightnings

    Me Too ! I got a great price in February in Winnipeg - they had a few 2024's left and were motivated to get them sold. Super happy with the new truck, and the price.
  18. Last day! It was fun expensive and …

    We can't claim the Dealers are "afraid of the lack of EV maintenance" cutting into their profits and then in the next breath say we are worried about maintenance costs long term on our EV's right? I figure the most likely thing to go will be all these heating/cooling lines for the...
  19. Last day! It was fun expensive and …

    Some of the financial "hit" isn't depreciation, it is the net effect of overpaying/buying at the top end in a hot market and then selling during a soft one. When I saw the early Lightnings going for 10k Over MSRP - knew I had to wait it out. Lots of excited early adopters pushed the price up...
  20. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    Interesting to see so many members with Solar and a Lightning...Too!! FWIW - Our ultra low overnight rate is 2.9Cents from 11pm - 7am. the buy-back options are not great with rates like this, so I built a 115kWh solar ESS (energy storage system) battery in the workshop in it's own room. A...
