  1. Impressions from Ford F-150 Lightning EV Tour -- Boston

    But... :) The Lightning has hundreds of miles of range, a whole-ass Maverick costs $20K, the 2.5/eCVT can't cost much. The Powerboost is a marvel of engineering and uses the most complex systems available to Ford. Because of that, It's amazing that the 3.5 twin turbo mated with the...
  2. Impressions from Ford F-150 Lightning EV Tour -- Boston

    I would like to see how well Powerboost technology would work with the 6.2 V8 in the Super Duty, perhaps even as a plug-in hybrid. As far as the Lightning platform, replacing the front drive motor with the 2.5Atkinson/Ecvt hybrid powertrain that they already have in stock would be an...
  3. Can I drop down to 18" for winter with max tow?

    Sold out and 20% higher price than a few months ago: https://www.roadreadywheels.com/products/2004-2020-18x7-5-ford-f150-steel-wheel-rim Don't know if they ship free to Canada or not. Keep your eyes open for take-off wheels, I see alloy sets in 18" pretty frequently between $500-900 with...
  4. Scuff on Leather Steering Wheel... :-(

    When in Rome: On a serious note, I would confirm if it was leather or not, since the damage in the picture looks more consistent with vinyl, especially the damage near the stitching where the material is stretched tight. Consumer protection laws have been so eroded, that manufacturers are...
  5. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning not eligible for X-Plan pricing. Qualifies for A/Z and D-Plan pricing

    I called it! It's all academic really, since many dealerships aren't participating in any of the plans currently or even budging from MSRP Even Ford Escapes are selling the same day that they roll off the transport trucks. It's just crazy! Pretty confident that the answer is no. However, a...
  6. Lightning Pro model with extended range. How to order?

    It's because in many cases, those driving the Pro won't be the same people paying for them. The 2-way seats aren't terrible but the 8-way XLT power seats aren't as adjustable as I would like. I would really like a few more degrees of tilt in the seat base.
  7. The Lightning and towing with a “half-ton”

    Range is going to get murdered with a slide in camper, possibly worse than a trailer; since the trailer is already in the turbulent wake behind the truck. The BEV Ford Transit will inform better the range impacts of a large frontal area. With the extra weight and IRS, I would guess Lightning...
  8. Ordered 2022 Lightning - My Experience

    Without poring through all those listings, I have to guess that ten to one, most of those mid-size Broncos are there to get customers on the dealer's hook, either to be on a waitlist, or to get them to their lots to try and sell them the Escape based Bronco Sport. While my local dealership has...
  9. Ordered 2022 Lightning - My Experience

    If you're looking for fanatical behavior, check out Tacomaworld. Someone will share an observation that their reverse camera is a little fuzzy compared with their other vehicles and they will suddenly become a pariah. There's plenty of critical discussion about Ford products here as well as...
  10. Ordered 2022 Lightning - My Experience

    Ford is really along for the ride just like yourself, the dealer network in each state has heavily influenced the laws that prevent Ford from selling directly to consumers. In Arizona one of our worst governors, Evan Mecham, was in office a little over a year before being impeached and removed...
  11. This was on driveway where i park

    A couple dots of 3m Weatherstrip and gasket adhesive should keep it in place. While you have it out, also put some in on the fuel door cover; which also seems to like to fall off. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/fuel-door-cover-fell-off.3646...
  12. Partial Chrome Delete

    The chrome mirror caps are hideous, they look like something you would order from J.C. Whitney back in the day to put on your conversion van with double sided tape. Either chrome the entire mirror housing, or none at all.
  13. This was on driveway where i park

    I know it's not one of these: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/wtf-is-this-does-anyone-know.5272/ Is it the rubber strip between the bed and cab?
  14. Ford Lightning Excluded From a Big Loyalty Discount

    Nobody, however Ford said that there wouldn't be any AXZ exclusions for Bronco. So I wouldn't be surprised in the future if Ford opted to exclude Lightning too, Whether all plans are excluded, just X plan, or none at all remains to be seen. Let's hope they take the opposite approach to the...
  15. Ford Lightning Excluded From a Big Loyalty Discount

    I am surprised that any vehicle qualifies for any discount these days. Dealerships are even having trouble stocking Escape crossovers. That's how crazy things are. Expect Ford to exclude Lightning from the AXZ plans eventually too, they said Bronco would be eligible in the beginning, but as...
  16. Lightning Pro model with extended range. How to order?

    By the time you figure out how to jump through all the hoops, organize a bunch of people together for a group buy for your non existent fleet, you may as well put all that time and effort into starting a real company and making the cash to pay for the extended range Lariat or even Platinum. :p...
  17. Ordered 2022 Lightning - My Experience

    I hope it goes smoothly, because if the experience of many Bronco reservation holders repeats itself with Lightning, it may be the last reservation of yours and many people like you. The reservation scheme is a shell game because your reservation is nothing but a sales lead to the dealership...
  18. Ford Performance Lift and alignment issue

    The service manager at least had the decency to find someone that knew what they were doing! The service department at my local dealership only knows how to sandbag, blow smoke up customer's asses and can't even properly string together the bullshit that they were trying to unload on me...
  19. October 26 is apparently NOT when 2022 F-150 Lightning ordering begins (order bank opens)

    Getting a new Ford is starting to be like getting on the Trabant waitlist in Cold War era East Germany!
