The cancellation of RAM EV is bad for EVs in general. I believe it is the result of negative political pressure that has been present for anything that doesn’t use fossil fuel. I personally was a MOPAR supporter and finally gave up waiting and bought my 23 Lightning to replace my 2007 RAM 2500...

The easy way to calculate fuel savings is: Lightning EPA rating 70 mpg, typical 1/2 ton truck EPA rating 15 mpg. That would save you about 80%. So can you imagine spending $20 instead of $100 every time you fill up your ICE? When we got our first EV (MME 100mpg EPA) we didn’t notice our...

I rolled the dice and decided to pass on any extended warranty. My 22 MME already has 67k miles and my 23Lightning has 46k miles, and most extended warranty’s don’t go past 110k miles. When you consider the cost of extended warranty on 2 vehicles, and the money saved due to fuel and maintenance...

Did you have to do anything to prevent the truck GFI from tripping? I had to remove the ground wire at the generator connector to stop the Truck GFI from tripping.

When I encounter an EV denier, I put my hand on their shoulder, smile, and say “before you die, you will own an EV, and when you do, you are going to love it!”

Well, when was the last time you saw a Ford commercial advertisement for any electric vehicle?

I applied my points from 2 fords to a set of new tires!

And, he criticized the tailgate, but didn’t mention that some models do have a power tailgate.

Are you getting the wrench indicator and/or service message. My 23XLT shifter was replaced in recall, and is acting up again. Parts is back ordered. My truck at 45k is now out of warranty, but I’m going to just assume this is a continuation of the recall. Ford has ordered a different part...

It’s all about the money. If an ER is available and the price is within reason, buy it. The first time you suddenly have to drive 200 miles in a hurry, you will be so glad!

Also, put a 100 amp sub panel in your garage. Then you have options without going back to your main panel in your house. You can easily add a second EV charger or add a 220v plug that you can plug a portable charger into.

This is my solution

I tied a string on the inside of the part you circled and tied the other end of the string to the headrest. So all I have to do is pull the string to release the back.

I see you got new tires at 40k miles. This is a picture of my tires at 44k miles. These are Goodyear’s. Makes no sense, why some tires wear so much better than others.

The last thing I’m concerned about when traveling is the cost of a charge. For me it is always about the location, convenience, and speed. Less than 10 percent of my travel is fast charging, so what ever the cost, it has little affect on my total cost. I’ve come to favor Tesla over EA, but also...

Exactly what rotary switch did you use? I ordered the plastic housing, but I’m still not sure what switch.

Does anyone know the exact Ford rotary switch I need to order? I see two different switches, the mounting holes appear to be different. (I did order the plastic mounting.) I’ve had the problem a couple months now and my truck is out of warranty so I’m guessing if I take it to Ford it will cost...

I don’t remember exactly how much, but way more than I thought it was worth. I do remember that I kept googling on internet and finally got a part number (color match). Then I googled the part number to get a “best” price. But most importantly, assuming the parts on truck are not broken, remove...

I have a MME er and a Lightning er. Even though I rarely need the extra range, the few times I do, I am so thankful I have it.

I had exactly the same situation. I got the part number googled it and found the complete door. When I got the part, I removed the cover from the new part and installed it on the door that was on the truck. I put the rest of the new part on a shelf in the garage!
