Very nice. The red looks sharp. I went with the Antimatter Blue and I like it but the red pops.

I've had good success calling the charger owners when things don't go as planned. Sometimes they need to kick it from the inside to get it to connect. The number is usually posted right on the charger station. I do think the Blue Oval network sometimes gets in the way and keeps things from...

This is good to know.

AGM is lead-acid chemistry with a glass mat between the plates to reduce lead sulfate buildup on the plates which happens as the battery discharges. You should use AGM mode when charging it. The old-style battery is Flooded Lead-Acid (without the glass mat) and they are charged at a slightly...

The problem would be that the truck measures amp hours in/out of the battery rather than just voltage to measure its depletion. A larger battery means more amp hours but we’d need to figure out how to tell the Battery Management System (BMS) that we installed a bigger battery so it would use the...

I'm expecting mine to die soon. I've had the truck for 7 months and get the message every couple of days. It is an easy software fix for Ford. Fix it once, and send out the update.

The low voltage battery problems are a design flaw carried over from the ICE trucks except they put a teeny tiny battery in since it doesn't need to start the ICE engine. The 12V battery is a Lead-Acid Advanced Glass Mat battery that is chronically discharged on a daily basis. If you drive...

2015-17 also works. I ran winter rims off a 2017 no problem. TPMS is the same and the rim size is the same.

I had a 50 amp circuit in the garage already for a welder and my 2023 was ordered in early 2022 so the dealer kicked in the mobile charger which plugged into the welder outlet with an adapter. That got me through nicely until I installed a Grizzl-E Duo to cover my wife's MME and my Lightning...

I used the Ford charger daily on my wife's MME without any issues - zero failures. It charges at 30 Amps. I use a portable adjustable current EVSE from EV-Chargers.com on my Lightning. This gives me 40 Amps when I need it and lower if the supply lines only provide limited amperage. The...

You will race them and you will win on any stock Mustang except maybe the Mach-E GT and you'll give it a good run too.

No kidding. And who decided that price? Don't imagine they sell many of those.

Hah, It is a piece of plastic, but have you seen the price of the weather kit, a simple piece of black plastic.) https://accessories.ford.com/products/f-150-2023-charge-port-weather-kit-for-bev-lightning-only No problem with the door once I found the sweet spot but occasional winter weather...

Not complaining about the shifter when it works. I've had it get out of sync with the shifting vs. the detents and that was annoying. Had to fold/unfold and it seemed to straighten it out. Heavier acceleration doesn't seem to bother the range as much as the speed at which you drive. The more...

No issues with my 2023 Lightning. Wife also no issues with her 2022 MME. Both have been 100% with no unplanned down time. Not knocking the Rivian, but it wouldn’t be the truck for me since it is smaller and I need the utility. Sorry for your bad luck with the MME, but don’t shy away from...

I had them on my 2018 and now on my 2023 Lightning and no, they will not stay deployed. You can open them in the settings for a slow drive through a car wash or while still but they will close if you drive over say 5-10 mph. The only workaround may be to open them, then pull the fuse but that...

Thanks for the detail Mike G. It is very helpful to understand how this works. I am hoping Ford does keep an eye on the forums. If the truck is discharging the 12V Advanced Glass Mat battery to 45-50% SOC overnight on a daily basis, the longevity of this battery will be severely diminished...

Thanks Pioneer74. As usual, for some reason Ford Accessories always say it doesn't fit my truck. Anyone else have this issue with their Lightnings? It seems my particular VIN has no parts available for it.

Useless fact - Canadian Nickels were made from Nickel up to 1981 ;-) Mostly steel with a little copper and a nickel plating now. I'm old but still kick'n and have some experience to prove it ;-) Did the Nickel update on the truck this morning. I didn't need the trim removal tool. There was...

Would you be able to share the Ford part number?
