I would start with the 40-42 psi Ford recommend - your new tire is just a taller ratio, not any wider patch.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

The greatest form of Flattery is Imitation !!

how much difference does the heat-pump Ford added make compared to the Lightning before the HP equipment? I got the truck in Feb, so had some damn cold weather, but not a lot since it warmed up early this year. I recall watching the power management display on a cold day - it showed 75% for...

is the power lower cost after some late hour? - ie Time of Use (ToU rates) that would incentivize the EV's to charge say 11pm - 7am when most of the other loads are off, or at lower demand (even A/C is less at night than during the day, and is a cycling load while the EV's are a steady constant...

Is the gear shift module issue specific to model year - if so which years? I saw this TSB for 2021 F-150 ICE TSB 21-2141

1,000 lbs isn't a big load, why not put the flooring in the truck bed - then the charging stations will be a snap instead of looking for places that accomdate a trailer, or force you to unhook and reconnect to charge up?

That was my thought too, and once I had solar and a big house battery - I really really wanted the Lightning for another big battery-on-wheels. With the market the way it is, I was finally able to get my XLT at a super price. So nice to glide by all the gas stations, just plug in at home to...

I think it will work, but like you, I want to be certain.

Good Question, If I get two cheap Fobs, I will try programing one with the other & an OEM to see.

Yes FCC is all N.America, although in Canada we call it ISED - same standards really. EU has CE standard. When I search it looks like the frequency is 315mhz - From the comments there is no sense in paying the premium price for the Genuine Ford Fob from what I am seeing, just go for the lowest...

I gotta say I was amazed at how effortlessly my new Lightning towed a 10,000 lb 20-foot flat deck loaded. More capable than my 2500 Ram with the same load behind it for short runs. Pulling out of a stop light from dead stop, it easily pulled ahead of an empty pick up in the next lane beside me...

I have a Question: I have the two key FOB's that came with my Truck, I would like to make a third one, in case one is lost. I see I can order one directly from FORD in Hamilton Ontario parts centre, about $140 I also see these Fobs on Toms Keys Company website, for about $87 then checking on...

I too use about 20% battery per day, I have set the automatic charging overnight (I have very low cost ToU rate 11pm - 7am every night) I've set the automatic charge to 80% SOC, and set up the departure time so the truck is plugged in while preparing the cabin/batteries/motors every morning. I'm...

Washer Fluid Remember to check Washer Fluid. That's about it.

Great Idea, We live 30-minute drive away from nearest shopping area, and summer is coming... is there a model of cooler that "is perfect" for the shape and size of the Frunk? I am wondering if we just get a small cooler and leave it in there all the time...
