Installed the injection molded rotary shifter adapter and the rotary shifter from ManionMakes in our '25 Flash a couple of weeks ago. Works like a champ and looks totally OE. Only another Lightning owner would know that it didn't come from the factory like that.
The shifter is motorized and...
- Yes. The TPMS is āreadableā once the wheel is put into use (providing itās the correct frequency).
- These days most spare tires are intended for temporary use. A correctly sized spare tire (OE tire matching diameter) with with a tread depth of 2/32 or more would be considered acceptable by...
Our ā25 Flash didnāt have a spare either.
The drop/lift mechanism is there but youāll need a kit to lower and raise it (usually comes with a lug wrench) like this:

Well, that makes two of us at least. Just need a third I guess.
Happy to pay when it actually ships, but I'm not interested if they're going to charge my CC immediately and I have to wait for who knows how long for three people to "sign up".
Guess we'll see what they say.
TripleAliners recently gave me the opportunity to check out their new bed mat for our 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning.

Great to have you here!
Tried joining a group buy for the bed step listed on the website. Currently shows two members, only needing one more to unlock the discount. But when I click on "Unlock Group Discount" on the product page a popup indicates that there's only one member and will need two...
Smart - checking the temp/heat. š
Had the exact same experience with a Tundra. Turned out to be a stuck caliper piston. Replaced the calipers (on both sides) and everything was fine.
if the rotors were rusted from ocean salt it wouldnāt be surprising. Per others, take it back and have them fix it.
Really happy we scored a new Flash before they were gone. $20K off MSRP? Yes please. 0% financing? Gee, let me think. š¤ š
So far, itās one of the best vehicles Iāve owned in the last 5 decades or so. Itās our 3rd EV. It more than fills the shoes of 3 great (but thirsty) Tundras that came before...
Itās intentional and not limited to Ford products. Toyota, MBZ, Lexus, Hyundai/KIA/Genesis, GM all employ this same setup.
Weāve experienced it firsthand and itās a constant topic of discussion on the dozen or so auto enthusiast forums I belong to.
This is a decent article about the reasoning...
Apparently he just bought the F-150 with the cover on it so he doesnāt know anything about it.
I just looked up the BakFlip and Worksport specs and they both call for a different cover for the 2014 F-150 and our Lightning.
It was a nice thought and appreciate your feedback!
EDIT: Did some more online research and it turns out the 2014's bed and the Lightning's bed are different sizes. All the sellers list a different size for each one.
Hope this helps anyone that stumbles across this thread with the same question!
Searched but couldnāt find an exact answer.

Planning on using the PPOB on our new Lightning Flash during power outages. Do you take any precautions before you connect your battery maintainer? I've used a maintainer on all of our cars including our previous EV and everything worked fine just connecting it to the +/- terminals. But before I...
EDIT #2: I ended up returning the shifter below. The quality just wasn't what I'd hoped for. I ended up buying an injection molded shifter from ManionMakes. The quality is excellent. More here: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/rotary-shifter-part-numbers.29588/page-16#post-726667...
