I was trying to see if my FordPass updated and when I searched for Ford apps I saw this one. What is this? I tried to login with my ford account but no luck.

I decided to use the Car Scanner app to see if I could gauge how much bonus juice you get when you charge to complete 100%. I’m sure everyone has had this experience of starting out at 100% and you’re driving for what feels like 20-30 minutes and it’s still at 100%. Full charge SOC reading...

I know some of us Lightning owners (myself included) have considered the Kia EV9 as well. A lot of these issues sounds familiar, but with higher frequency and worse service times than Ford. The EV9 has a big battery that’s proving to be unreliable.

This is a fascinating story and one that has me feeling relieved our truck was built by a huge, established company like Ford. Fisker went bankrupt and owners built open source car company from the ashes “ When Fisker Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2024, it left roughly 11,000...

If you happen to use (or plan to use) a Tesla Wall Connector EVSE to charge your Lightning, you can now use this gadget to dynamically draw as much (or as little) available amperage from your panel. This reduces the need for panel upgrades if you don’t have enough amps...

Things you would expect are mentioned in here. But still no details yet on the actual vehicle Ford is planning. https://www.motortrend.com/features/ford-f150-erev-lessons-from-lightning

Probably not a surprise to anyone here. Consumer Reports finds the Lightning range is 270mi vs the EPA rated 320mi when traveling at highway speeds (70mph, 2022 extended range lariat)...

So I’ve noticed this happening more often lately and I’m not sure why. When I’m charging on level 2 for several hours the FordPass app shows I’m getting X number of KWh’s as added energy. Then later, after I’ve stopped charging I look in the charging history of the app. For that same session the...

Figured I’d post this article here about ICE F150 gas prices to make ourselves feel good.

Maybe not news to this forum but there’s apparently a lot of leased EVs hitting the market soon. I wonder how many of these will be Lightnings. https://www.autoblog.com/news/the-flood-of-cheap-used-evs-will-cost-car-companies-billions

I saw this FB Marketplace listing for a Ford truck that has a hydraulic bed that can dump. I’ve never seen this before. So of course it had me wondering if this could ever be done on a Lightning?

Maybe I missed this being discussed elsewhere, but I ran into this issue just now. This is my first time DC charging after I got the PT-25.8.5 update which locks the charge port on the truck when DC charging. I pulled up to Elecrify America charger, plugged in (plug n charge) and the session...

Anyone else have this issue? I was listening to music today and my rear sub has somehow just blown out and now buzzes instead of producing bass. I barely raise the volume on this truck so it’s kind of weird that it would just die on me randomly. I have a 2023 Lariat 8 speaker system.

I know this group has a skepticism toward AI unless it’s an AI generated song about the Lightning (and we’re still not sure if Brian is real or AI) but I asked AI to clarify the Lightning warranty for me. Does this line up with reality in terms of what the manufacturer warranty covers? In...

I wonder if the very last Lightning to roll off the assembly line is still on a lot somewhere. Makes me kinda sad to know they couldn’t even celebrate the last one rolling out since they didn’t know it at the time. I heard they produced just shy of 100k Lightnings?

This one added a service schedule to the “wrench” tab.

The CEO did say he expected sales to be cut in half. But he also said they can’t just walk away from EVs. https://electrek.co/2025/12/02/fords-ev-sales-plunge-60-f-150-lightning-still-on-hold/

Not sure if this has been discussed here, but when I look at my FordPass app I don’t see any pending OTA updates. But when I log into ford.com and select my vehicle and choose “software updates” I can see two pending updates for my Lightning. Has anyone else experienced this? I had noticed...

Not sure if this person who runs the Trucked Up EVs channel is on the forum here but he’s done Lightning videos before. This one is interesting as it covers his journey with insurance labeling his truck totaled with very minor damage.

Fun while it lasted? CNBC article
