If you're a seasoned veteran at towing, you'll probably find the Trailer Assist to be worthless. In my opinion it actually makes it more difficult to back up the trailer. I *think* I understand what Ford was trying to do with that feature, but holding the steering wheel on the bottom instead...

My late 2025 build is also affected. If it's a software fix, why is it going to take 8 more months?? I don't get it.

We all know that the OEs recall AS FEW of a sample as they can possibly get away with, but 99% of the time the issue affects a much larger number. That's just how it works. Look at Toyota...they recalled a small sample of 3.5 engines in Tundras....then had to recall more...and info suggests...

Tesla and safety don't go together in the same sentence. Tesla leads the U.S. in vehicle fatalities.

This is FAR more than the second Lightning fire. OEs don't recall vehicles unless there's been a significant problem.

The new midsize truck will be interesting. If they keep it at current Maverick/Ranger price levels I'm anxious to see how many they can sell. If sales continue to be miserable on a sub-$40k BEV truck then that'll pretty much be the nail in the coffin for the Ford EV program I would say...

In terms of maintenance? My advice would be CHECK UNDER YOUR FRUNK periodically. A lot of guys will be shocked at how much dirt and grime accumulates under there on all the hoses, lines, fittings, modules, and coolers. Mine was caked with dirt and grime in less than 5,000 miles, to the point...

Very interesting concept! I applaud ingenuity. But, for $2,400 I'll stick with my hard tri-fold. My hard tri-fold provides the exact same function and lift-off capability for $700.

Observations noted, and experienced by myself. So can't deny them. However, I'm more of the belief that the astronomical cost to install, power, and maintain these sites (which I have first hand knowledge of) is the sole reason for slow deployment of more EV charge sites.

Mine has a 123 kWh battery. Maybe your software got jacked up somehow? Maybe it thinks you have the medium range pack now? I don't know, that's odd...

The range while towing is the deal breaker for me. GM's trucks can TOW farther on a charge than a Lightning can make it with no trailer. Granted, the way GM did it isn't magic....they just stuffed a HUGE battery in there. Repair/replacement of that battery pack will be astronomical in cost in...

No, when the heater assembly failed I got a "Service Vehicle Soon" warning on the dash every day, along with the dreaded wrench icon on the dash. I will say though, the dealership was able to get parts in 48 hours and I was only without the truck for 4 days total. Apparently this was very...

I have a '25 Flash also. Mine rolled off the line just a couple of months before they stopped making Lightning trucks, so it has the latest and greatest hardware onboard. My heater assembly failed prior to 5,000 miles and had to be replaced. From day 1 the interior would randomly fog up with...

And with that being said, I suppose it makes sense why Tesla is the most dangerous brand in the nation. Although, Waymo was in the news again yesterday after one of their self-driving cars ran over a child in the street.

From the 1970s through the 2000s we saw fatalities slowly fall as seatbelts became a thing, and then laws requiring usage of seatbelts became a thing, and then airbag systems, all while vehicles were being constructed in safer ways. And then, you get to the end of the 2010s and into the 2020s...

I have always found it interesting how VASTLY different this forum is versus the regular F-150 forums. It really seems like 90% of Lightning owners got one solely because it was electric, and it had nothing to do with needing a pickup truck at all. If all I was interested in was an electric...

You must have missed the enormous recent thread discussing why there are few charge stations, and will continue to be few charge stations in the future. To heavily summarize, it costs a FORTUNE. Building them costs millions, getting the electricity to them is subject to heavy fees (called...

Closer to Lexington, we've been iced and snowed in but our power has stayed on and we are thankful for that (because that usually isn't the case). My Lightning has stayed in the garage hooked up to the charger. I wanted it to stay at 100% in the event that power does go out and I need to use...

Mine has been at correct level since the day I brought it home. When I got the truck back from the dealership after the repair I checked it again and they had restored it to correct level. So no issues there (and no leaks, thankfully).

Just as an update, the new heater assembly hasn't cured the fogging interior issue. The windows will still just randomly fog over while driving with the HVAC in Auto mode and set to 72F. This is particularly true of the rear door windows, but occasionally even the front door windows or...
