I have had the truck (2024 XLT) literally a few days, I think I spent about 6 hours going through all the features, settings, options, and setting up Ford Pass etc - it works nearly instantly, lock/unlock, start pre-condition does it all. Maybe just my location. I call the truck...

I was out driving around today, and saw a gas station up ahead, I instinctively looked down at my dash to see if I needed gas...gee when did I last buy gas...Wait A Minute what am I thinking !? I don't need gasoline anymore !! AND THAT IS WHEN IT HIT ME - The "Leash" has been removed and I am...

Thanks - good to know! Those CHAdeMO standard chargers seem to be few and far between, and after checking, you're right about stations that have them also have another standard on the same station to suit various EV's. My original thought was if the CHAdeMO EV cars are 'rare' then these...

Do you mean the CCS to Tesla (NACS) adapter ? The dealer has one being couriered out to me, so I can use Tesla charging network as well as CCS. I wonder about getting an adaptor to the CHAdeMO standard - seems like these are very expensive and that standard is being phased out over a period of...

I did a run to a near-by City to my area today - to try out a fast charger - make sure it works and I learn the steps for connecting - worked great !! The dealer was supposed to include the Tesla adapter with the truck, and they have it coming now so I couldn't test with a Tesla super charger...

I see some hotels have chargers with your room as a feature - I wondered if you had tried that approach to those long trips?

Wow BC to Toronto and back - that is an epic trip in any vechicle ! I drove to Calgary from NW Ontario last summer to see family - that is far enough of a trip for me! That run cost me hundreds in gasoline, that now would be a lot less in supercharging lol. I normally just stay near home and...

We have other vechicles, and we have two sets of tires (on rims) for each one. We typically only put studs on one car, and Blizzaks on the other, but this is a new (pricy) truck and want to plan for next winter now, since I can usually get a deal on winter tires just as the season ends (who...

Good point, since one of the nice features of the new Truck is the super quiet ride. That said, staying on the road and having some traction are high priorities for winter - which in my area is half of the year...besides, how loud can it be compared to all the noisy dino-burners driving beside...

Thanks for the very warm welcome Lucky-Larry, I have found myself looking for reasons to 'go somewhere' to test out my newest vechicle - this is our first EV and we are climbing the steep learning curve of what the new "Tablet-on-Tires" can do, and how to navigate the menu's/features. I was...

I have had good success with Bridgestone Blizzaks on our SUV, but the Lightning is pretty heavy and I wonder how the soft compound of the Blizzaks would be for wear. We are allowed studded tires for winter months, makes me consider the General Grabber Arctic with studs...wonder what other...

This was our first vehicle that had voice commands and talked to us, so we decided since it's an "AI-talking car" it had to be called - K.I.T.T.

No stranger to snow and ice up here, but the lightning is brand new for me, loving it even on the factory tires, it is very impressive in snow and on ice no doubt about it. But going over this thread, I was expecting to see some advice from others with a few Lightning-winters under ya belt -...

Why? are you experiencing any obvious issues with the Truck? or just the fear/unknown getting to you?

Yeah, years of driving V-8's has my brain conditioned to some corralation between noise and speed/accelleration; that is now busted all to pieces - need to learn a few new cues...

There must be some level of protection, or any Valet with access to the truck could pair without your permission?

I am learning I need to keep a light foot on the accelerator - too easy to be zipping faster than I should be! Officer-Friendly will be watching for me I''m sure.

Hope to see you post the outcome, good or bad.

i have been driving around for fun, and to wave at gas stations, as I drive by. I plug in a route and estimate the energy this "should take" then record what it actually takes and get a feel for the difference. Preconditioning the cabin temp before unplugging is a big win I see. Got the Ford...

Just wanted to say hello and glad to be a new member. Got the truck yesterday and am blown away by it's capabilities. They built quite a machine here.
