Thank you Tom. This nephew is definitely an adventurous type... he often spends Summer and Winter school breaks hiking around European mountain ranges. A dependable travel companion in all aspects. He and the other slightly younger nephew whose Summer 2025 adventures in the Lightning are...

As teased last month, my report of a three-week F150 Lightning + teardrop camper Winter drive from Virginia to Newfoundland Canada and back. Why: it was a 40 year anniversary of a tragedy back in December 1985 and I figured if not now, I'll likely never make it back up there. DC Fast...

For the record, my Ohmmu battery seems to be doing fine. That is after three weeks in Maritime Canada and Newfoundland in December and January which included two sizable blizzards and some low low temperatures. I might be a lucky dog... time will tell. Also of note, I bought and installed the...

I'm not a suspension engineer... perhaps some mix of factors like the very heavy weight of these trucks, + the almost 50 / 50 weight distribution between the front and rear, + the design of the independent suspension arms in the rear, + ??? The hole for the rear bottom shock bolt is pretty...

Of course.

Well, I hand-compressed the worn-out Ford OEM shocks from both Fusions and also from my Lightning - the last one this past November. BTW these weren't the only shocks I had changed out - I had also changed out my BMW's shocks some years earlier, and other shocks on my youthful clunkers, so I...

I think this is true. Another reason to carry a fob, or to locate and use the skeleton key from the globebox when desired: 1. Glove box can be locked, during service times or during valet handling, or... 2. Center console can be locked with same key (the keyhole is on the front edge of the...

How about just resetting the BMS? To wit: 1. Shut truck down and open door for 20+ seconds. 2. Turn truck on to only Accessory mode (blinking green light on push button). 3. Wait at least 10 seconds. 4. Flash the high beam 5 times, quickly. 5. Step on brake pedal 3 times, quickly. 6. Wait...

With Ford OEM shocks, that's not my experience. Our two Fusion Energi cars had shocks that were completely worn out at about 30 - 35 thousand miles, both cars (2013 and 2015 models). My Lightning had a visibly leaking front shock by about 65 thousand miles, and when I then replaced all four...

We reused the OEM rubber pleated covers. Ditto for the OEM springs and spring tophats. Note: whether You choose to do this Yourself (not that hard actually) or have a shop do it, Ford instructions indicate the OEM bolts for the bottom of the front and the rear shock need to be thrown away and...

AFAIK yes they are the only ones. I kept my Eibachs at the stock height, front and rear (lowest ring position). It also completely eliminated the Buick movement. Several thousand miles on them now, with and without towing... worth the $$$ and the work. Plus, they are likely to last much...

Invest the $$$ and put on Winter tires. Snow or no snow, when it's really cold the rubber in true Winter tires will mitigate or completely stop sliding, even when the road surface is absolutely clear of snow, while all-season tires have rubber which hardens in true cold and which WILL cause...

FYI from personal experience (on Bonneville Salt Flats last Summer): the Extended Range version, which has more power, will max out at 107 mph indicated.

Hmmm... as posted by me previously, I (so far) have had great service from the OHMMU battery, in pretty harsh Canadian Maritime weather and Newfoundland Winter weather. My OEM battery was bulging, so I had to get "something" before the Canadian trip. I hope that either Your case is an outlier...

So as per my previous post here I took a good look this past Fall at my 12V battery, noticed it had bulging sides, ordered an OHMMU sodium 12V battery (only choice then available) and popped it in in late November or early December 2025. I also mounted the optional OHMMU 12V battery monitor...

...and I thank the stars every month that, the way I use the truck, I just lucked into a leftover 2023 ER back in 2024 when I beat my Mach E to death and traded it it. Got the truck and I then found out about the dual onboard chargers... and it took me another 5 months to get and then mount my...

I wonder whether the NAV map versions (and their updates) vary between the 12-inch and the 15-inch screen size?

It definitely is. Especially when traveling with a 17-year old :crackup:

...and it is very easy to reengage the cabin preheat from the app, should the set cabin preheat be set for earlier than You actually get to use the truck. It's on the front webpage of the FordPass app. We just came back from a trip to Newfoundland Canada and we used this function often... we...

It does for me.
