I have the 40A Grizzl-E charger - inside it has four set points (16A, 24A, 32A and 40A) these are easily adjustable.
Grizzl-E also make a 48A (for SR) and an 80A (for ER) for anyone interested.
YUP!
but in my area the cost spread is a lot more: my overnight hydro rate is 2.8 cents/kWh and the local Tesla DCFC is 72 cents/kWh. Some other options are Shell and PetroCanada stations at 54cents or IVY stations which IIRC were 62cents. Not that I am knocking the cost of the fast chargers...
I was watching Monro Engineering compare the Lightning and R1T frames, the front of the Lightning has a welded end-plate and bolt holes for the tow-loops. they even show the two loops and how they are made. These bolt to the truck. Frames compared
Then from an online AI search:
"The front...
For my 2024 XLT, when I went to order the parts from Ford, per the p/n's from way back at post #11
The lamp switch came up as replaced by p/n SW7733
FYI for anyone following along this old, but interesting thread.
WOW - they should market the lift to the DEALERS ! - they can offer it to customers at cost x 3, and solve the problem they have with maintenance - guarantee the Lightnings come back for service work !!
{It would be nice to have ride height adjustment.}
The bump in inventory may turn out to be a short term thing for CT, or just the beginning of bigger troubles. Time will tell.
For me, that is not the truck I wanted, (which is why I am here) but I think we can all agree (on any EV forum) that more EV's on the road will lead to more charging...
The word that comes to mind actually is: Brave !!
I know how you feel though, I really wanted one the day they launched, but "Life" and stuff happened, had to wait a few years.
Amazing machine, I look for "reasons" (excuses) to be in it...be right back got to check the weather on the other...
One of the members here wrote a phase awhile back that kinda gets the message across:
"Ya need Bums in Seats"
until they experience it for themselves they have no idea what they are missing.
For myself, I went out of my way to book a test drive in the winter to see how it handled the snow -...
In April 2025, Ford production plans for the F-150 Lightning were reduced. They were expected to produce an average of 1,600 Lightning trucks per week. This equates to roughly 6,400 per month (assuming an average of 4 weeks per month). This was a significant reduction from the previous...
I loved my 2500 Ram - just not the fuel costs...LOL.
The Ramcharger would seem like a better option than owning two or three trucks to do what ya need, (each one costing you for maintenance and insurance) as long as Ram get the details right, don't leave you stranded.
I wonder if the bump in March sales were buyers looking to avoid any tariff hits they figured were coming soon...resulting in fewer April sales.
I did a quick seach and it appears the plant is producing 6,000 lightnings' per month - double the best sales month? Maybe my search info is out of date.
I would check out the PHEV Ramcharger - looks like a good option for those that need towing distance as part of their truck use.
Any new to market product will certainly have some growing pains, I prefer to wait a few years and let them work out any bugs the first release may have.
Likely true, since I was reading recommended ride-height measuring procedure - and the manual says to be sure the 'tank is half full of fuel' - so I drove it around until the SOC was 50% LOL :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
I think the main reason to rotate the tires on the Lightning is to force us to look at the brakes...otherwise I might never bother...cause I always use one-pedal-drive mode.
I was thinking about this, maybe painting the strut black to match the truck - except it will get chipped too easily.
My other thought was to go with the low profile aluminum strut, for a lower profile, but then it will not be very stiff without mid-bolting it.
Did you bolt down your strut...
I use the SRNE inverters (two at 12kW each) and this provides power for the whole house and my workshop, charging the lightning right now too!
Solar, battery-bank, and EV make a great system where you can share power from the main home battery system or the EV depending where you need it. (and...
