This would be from a damage or dead unit that Ford did not take back under warranty presumably. I want to modify the CCS handle to allow for J1772 charging, but I don't want to do that on my unit while its still under warranty. So I need a the cord from a dead FCSP. Or any other 80A rated...

OK, background. -- Installed January 2024, 100A service, directly from 200A main. Outdoors. 100A breaker, correct wiring all per install instructions. Polaris splitters. -- could not get the wifi to connect that day, but it charged fine at 16.8kw or so per the truck display. I was worried...

Just died. Stopped and "Stop Safely Now" message on dash. Could not even get it to wake up to drive onto a flatbed. First dealer, Lewis Ford in Hays Kansas refused to work on it because we had not purchased there. Dealer in Hastings Nebraska has been good in terms of communication, but they...

Ok, the Emporia was installed before we even got the Lightning, May 2023, but used rather infrequently when I visited with my RAV4 Prime. Lightning started using the Emporia in Nov 2023, and used the 48A quite a bit until I got the 80A FCSP installed in March or so. My brother was charging on...

Here around Kansas City, I would say 50% or more Tesla superchargers are this way. Yes, I have told the Tesla app that I have a NACS to CCS1 adaptor. When I click on the stations in question in the FordPass app, it goes from "station not compatible" to showing merely "not recommended". Sadly...

Anyone else experience this? My families Lightning is getting a proper western KS farm welcome. Which is to say, its being driven on dirt/gravel/rock roads that serve up a mixture of mud/ice/snow/dust at varying intervals..... My brother reports that he's having to hit the insides of the rims...

I put in my Lightning reservation some 2 years ago -- for my brother and dad on our farm in western KS. Ended up taking delivery of a ER Lariat about 17 days ago. Drove it as much as possible for the time it was here in Kansas City. Where its headed, there are no dealers around. Since I...

Took delivery last evening. Activated my FordPass App this AM, paired with truck just fine etc. Lariat, so its got BlueCruise for sure. FordPass says BlueCruise active till 10/18/2026 (not clear why it shorted me a few days, but whatever) Turned on all the active features like lane assist...

I read somewhere that part of the Max Tow Package are cooling fans. Anyone know more? Where my truck is going, I don't want any moving parts that could get dirt or mud in them. A cooling fan sounds like a rotten idea. Even if one could get under there and clean things up before towing, my...

OK, I have a meter pole that has a meter and a great big 200A disconnect that services the entire property. I want to pull a 100A rated set of wires off the protected (downstream) side of the 200A breaker, and run them about 18" to a 100A breaker box. From which I will then move on with an...

I am between these two. The ER package and 9.6kw power package on the XLT adds a number of features like adaptive cruise control that are different in the "base" XLT and Lariat What all am I missing: Lariat -- 3 years Blue Cruise -- Leather seats -- Fancier tailgate (a negative to me, as...

OK, sounds crazy, but I am already not happy about getting the fancy Lariat tailgate and tail lights. This is what happens when you buy Lariat to be a work truck. Where this truck is going, it WILL do work with the tailgate down, rendering the backup lights ineffective, right? So I read...

OK, all my reading is telling me that its $2100 for three years, $800 per year or $75/month. BUT, look at this window sticker: Really makes a big difference. That option package is what you get with the ER Lariat, I think. This was a "new window sticker" that reflects the new pricing. Its...

I see people selling them for 700-850. An 80A EVSE costs more like $1400-1600 from most others. So the $1300 list price is fair, but are people having trouble with the ford units? I am very handy -- already installed a 48A Emporia, but used 4 g copper for the 20' run, which should be ok for...
