Wave at the Gas Stations as you zip by in your Lightning...try to use All your fingers... :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Agreed ! The Lightning "Solves the Winter 1/2 ton truck problem" - ie the front heavy rear wheel drive problem. For this winter I put a set of Blizzac V2 on their own rims, and left everything else behind all winter. The best was sitting full stop at a red light with some pickup reving next to...

It is all about the tires, last spring since I got the truck in Feb, I left the stock all season tires on it, and it did well, but in October I bought a dedicated set of Bridgestone Blizzac DM V2 and they (with the balanced weight and all wheel drive) are unbelievable in snow and ice conditions...

Well I've had Ford Tractors before...but not like that !! :crackup:

Thanks - yes it works well, and our over-night rate at only 3.9 cents/kWh (plus delivery) is very competitive even with the cost of solar panels. I live rural, and power outages are not uncommon, we can go several days in winter without grid input if we need to (ie don't use elect dryer). The...

Looks great !

I would say my EV and 70mile/day normal driving moved my 1,000kWh per month to nearly 2,000kWh. ie confirmed, double however as @jamelski points out, the "not-gas" driving is far far less money out of the household overall than pre EV paying for power and gasoline. In places with low cost...

I have no idea what vehicle I will buy after the Lightning...it's not even in the design stage yet...heck, the ideas for it may not even have occured to someone/AI yet...guess we will see what the market looks like in 2032... :crackup:

I find a good comment for people who are automatically negative about the Lightning is: "do you own a cordless drill (yes) is it handy and kind of your go-to drill (yes),, do you run a large paddle mixer all day with it though (no) now you understand the Lightning"... :sneaky:

What did the part cost?

In our home my wife and I use three vehicles: the Lightning, a hybrid Escape, and an ICE SUV. We did this deliberately to have options. The SUV gets the least use by far. I have said the following before in a thread or two, but will repeat here for Brian to see: I "HOPE" Ford did the EREV to...

Agree with ya, an interesting thing the Lightning can do that No ICE truck can - I recently help move some concrete blocks for a buddy, and where we needed to drop these was up a steep slope in his side yard. I always drive in One-Pedal and when we backed up that steep incline, and watched in...

fun at the store: my wife likes to take the Lightning for groceries - she will hit the frunk-open button as she approaches the truck, inevitably some older gentleman will offer to 'help' the lady when they see the hood up -but then: "Where's your Engine ?" will suddenly be said...she likes to...

My truck came with this little storage area, it is super handy as you say for tie-downs and the pins for the hitches, and adapters for truck plug. I wish it was a bit bigger though. lol.

I have been using 42-44 psi and the wear seems pretty even across the tires todate - 50,000km (30k miles) time will tell I guess.

it does feel "odd" pulling into a gas station - to fill up a few cans for snow machine, snow blower - but not need 'fuel' for the truck. LOL.

The Lightning has rear locking diff setting

The poll question assumes the answer - why assume it is an "upgrade" and why influence the poll with that term built into the question? I am glad I got my Lightning while I could, I am grateful for the amazing capabilities of this truck. I plan to drive it 8-10 years, and by then, in 2032-2034...

I live in the 'Salt Belt,' and the rotors will start to dust rust pretty quickly. I don't see any harm from shifting to N as I drop off the hwy and slow for the transition into the city and lower speed. The whole process is less than a minute. The Once a Month Routine seems to work to keep...
