Nice post with informative, aggregated data. I can't help but note the 60-foot walk from family home to family cars in the famed Ontario Winter. Frankly, I can imagine some teenager curses freezing in the brisk February air :wink:

That's a fairly low bar :crackup: .

Dean, one of these days when I next visit Sonny Boy in Louisville I'll have to swing by southern Kentucky to check your mileage haha... maybe we'll stage a race in town :wink:

I read somewhere in an authoritative source (no memory of it now) that Ford produced a total of just over 100 thousand Lightnings.

I'm at 89,xxx... I'm sure I will hit 90k by March. I bought the truck new, a leftover 2023, in June 2004. I love this thing :love: not a single problem except for the traffic tickets {EDIT -- and worn-out OEM shocks all around}. The truck's hit the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Bonneville Salt...

I think they do look cool.

I actually had really weird recent malfunctions with my Ohmmu battery, after three months of service. On a trip to Kentucky this January, I checked the Ohmmu-supplied Ancel battery monitor dongle and to my alarm it gave a 12V battery voltage reading of 4.3 Volts (yes, that does read "4.3...

It sometimes helps to try and get an EPROM update on the OBD MX+. If there is a new EPROM update it'll say so on the home web page, and sometimes the OBD MX+ will self-update too if connected by BlueTooth to a laptop. That's been my experience with these over the past decade or so, until i got...

Every Eibach shock for the Lightning has a height ring for the lower spring perch. In tandem, these shock rings can keep the OEM stance (all on their lowest positions on the shock body), or they can raise the front, or they can raise all four corners, or can raise all four corners but raise the...

I'm pretty sure it's the Eibachs that eliminated the Lightning float. I switched 10+ thousand miles ago while keeping the same tires, and the float never returned. Congrats!

Not really. Just take it slow, and yes it might help if You select OFF ROAD mode in select types, like when driving through the ice piles up here in Northern Virginia the past week+. The locked differential is there to avoid single wheel spin when already in a difficult traction situation...

I don't know where You are located (no avatar location). Yes, it varies... I drove cross country and on other long trips so my experience is the one I can refer to. And, btw, it keeps getting better and better which is a really nice trend.

In my cross-country experience, EA usually (not always) has six stations in one spot. Sometimes it has eight... less commonly but still often enough, it has only four. Very rarely, I've seen locations with a dozen+.

That's what I do (italics are mine) on every long trip. it saves a good penny.

As per my OP post, it's a great teenager pacifier for a month's price :crackup:

It's one of the Premium Connectivity features (I think there might be more items under the PREMIUM label, for example maybe NAV updates, ALEXA etc.). On the Ford end, it costs $15/month after the WIFI trial period ends. It's accessible thru FordPass as well as thru the web Ford account. It...

Of course... I added this thread to note for our members that the Ford / ATT wifi works when there is zero cell phone coverage of any cell network for dozens of miles. Zero cell phone coverage = no cell hotspots either. I have frankly no idea how they make it work in such remote spots, yet it...

I have T-Mobile 5G and the nephew has some European network (maybe Orange?). The point of my post is that we were so far out in the boonies, without the Ford/ATT hotspot we would have had nothing. And yet, with the Ford/ATT hotspot we were completely connected.

Haha indeed it was. Nothing two men can't handle, eh? A great place even with the Arctic blasts, especially because of the awesome friendly nature of Newfoundlanders. "No moose or caribou were harmed in the execution of this trip." :wink: Here's the write-up. Enjoy...

Folks, I had forgotten to add this point to our review of our Newfoundland Canada road trip this past December / January. I have used the Ford OEM ATT vehicle hotspot all across North America, coast - to - coast, in our now-gone Mach E and now in our Lightning. After running out the free...
