  1. 2026 Flash

    Um.... so Ford already moved the Flash trim to the gasoline trucks for 2026? Wow. That was fast. It feels like my wife left me for another man. Lol.
  2. If you drive dirty roads, check under your frunk

    I drive a mile of gravel road daily. At 4,500 miles I pulled my access panel to check my 12v battery connections and to my surprise the entire area behind the tub was COVERED in gravel dust and dirt. So bad that I couldnt' even read the label on the battery. It was horrible. I used...
  3. My first Error Code: Fix? post 33 & 38

    Well I made it a little over 4,400 miles before getting a problem with this truck but I have checked the negative battery cables and they are tight and the truck otherwise drives pretty good so I'm guessing I'll have to just go to the dealership and get it scanned when I have time this week. Sigh...
  4. Slippery Mode Makes The Lightning Safer in Snow

    I suppose it depends on the specific area you drive in. For me, here on these windy, hilly, dangerous one lane rural roads, I'm extremely thankful for Slippery Mode!
  5. How does cabin heating work?

    Only 42F here this morning...not even cold yet. But with the truck on "Auto" and temp set to 74F it still never got warm. Also, the windshield gets foggy. So two questions: Why do I have to crank the temp up so high to get warmth in the cabin? ALL my prior trucks I would set to 68-70F and...
  6. Truck won't stay in tow haul mode

    When I hook the trailer to my truck the truck automatically goes into tow haul mode. But then if I shut the truck off and turn it back on again it doesn't stay in tow haul mode it defaults to normal. Why is that? Also I'm noticing that I get frequent messages that the trailer has been...
  7. Tuning a Lightning

    For decades we have purchased aftermarket tunes to give our trucks and cars more power and better drivability. It’s to the point where the OE’s are now cashing in on this by offering performance tunes for some of their vehicles. For example, the Ford Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor have tunes...
  8. IPC Recall - 2025 Models

    I assume, but don't know for certain, that some Lightning trucks (mine included) may be affected by this one.
  9. "Low Fuel" Warning

    So obviously on ICE vehicles there's a tell-tale indicator light that comes on when you're getting low on fuel, and sometimes a separate message that pops up on the gauge cluster as well, and also an audible tone. Is there a setting for this on the Lightning? I thought I saw a setting for "low...
  10. Body differences between EV and ICE

    I'm just wondering why the Lightning does not get the same body stampings as the ICE F-150? The Lightning looks extremely plain and outdated compared to the 2025 ICE version. Did the engineers have a reason for this?
  11. Anybody add the interior work surface?

    It was standard equipment, then Ford removed it in Job 2 production. So I just got a flip up console lid only. How hard is it to retrofit the work surface?
  12. Did a Test Tow with my 26' Camper/Trailer/Toy Hauler

    Everybody has their own specific trailer, their own terrain to drive, their own weather, etc. So I just wanted to see for myself how this was going to go for planning purposes. I needed to know how the efficiency was going to be so that I can map out a route to get to our favorite campground...
  13. Leveling spacers same between Lightning and ICE?

    I'm going to order a leveling kit for the front of my Lightning tonight. And searching the listings for the specific one that I'm interested in it shows that it fits all of the ICE versions of the F-150 excluding the Raptor. It says nothing about whether or not it will fit the Lightning. Are the...
  14. EV Tires

    So since buying my Lightning, I've started to see this term passed around a lot: "EV tires". So, I did what any red blooded American would do. I put that term into Google. "EV tires differ from regular tires by having a design that handles an EV's extra weight from large batteries...
  15. Lightning specific splash guards?

    I used my Ford Pass points to order splash guards for my truck. Now they're saying the ones I ordered will not work on the Lightning trucks.....ICE F-150 only. Is that right? Why would the body panels be different so that unique splash guards are required?
  16. Adaptive cruise with nothing else?

    Can I use adaptive cruise with no Bluecruise or other nannies forcing me to hold the wheel at 10 and 2 constantly? On longer stretches of road I sometimes move my hands down to the 4:00 and 8:00 position to give my shoulders a break but I haven't figured out how to successfully do this. Right...
  17. Anybody use the Curt Echo brake controller?

    My new Lightning has no brake controller. I do have a Curt Echo laying around from a previous truck. Will it play nice with the Lightning? Anybody used one with success?
  18. How Much Work to Make 295/70R18 Fit?

    I have a brand new set of 295/70R18 Yokohama A/T XD tires that I had bought for my F-250, but I traded it in for this Lightning so now those new tires are just stacked up in my garage. How much work do I have to do to make them fit my new Lightning? Just a level kit? Nothing at all? Full 3"...
  19. What exactly is tailgate assist?

    Is "tailgate assist" supposed to be the strut that allows slow, smooth lowering of the tailgate on its own or am I misunderstanding this feature? Reason I ask is because the tailgate on my new truck free falls if I open it with the latch and then take my hands off.
  20. How Do I Use Ford Pass to Find a Charger: Solution Post-6

    I'm in central Kentucky and I spend most of my time in between Lexington and Versailles and Lawrenceburg and Frankfort. Frankfort is the capital city and Lexington is actually the second largest city in this state. Yet when I pull up the map on my Ford Pass App it doesn't show any charging...
