OK, a question. Heat pump. Today, I was in the climate screen while waiting for my wife to come out of the supermarket. In the 15" climate screen there is a selection: SWITCHING THE ELECTRIC HEATER ON AND OFF When E-Heat is on, an electric heater warms the cabin and keeps the windows from...

I went from a 2023 Lariat ER with Max Tow, power running boards etc to a 2024 Platinum with power running boards. After 2 months of ownership here is my honest opinion of the “upgrade” Lariat Pros: Ride on my 23 Lariat was “smoother” and “softer” than the Platinum. Some of it is because of...

Earlier this month we leased a 2024 Platinum Lightning from Sarasota Ford. They currently have 18 NEW 2024 Lightnings in stock, 13 of them are Platinum's. that it seems they bought from the replenishment centers. They are one of the few Ford Dealers that I found who don't shy away from EV...

I wonder if there is an advantage ordering a 2025 Lightning rather then picking one of the new 2024 models in dealer inventory? I say this because I leased a 2024 Platinum this month after seeing all the huge incentives and rebates available. When looking at the order guide for 2025 there are...

Has anyone had PPF installed on the front black “grill” on their Lightning? I ford some Vinyl stick ones for a partial protection but nothing that covers the whole grill. Now that I have a. platinum with the gloss grill I’m concerned about pitting.

I seem to have read somewhere that with 2024 trucks, if you ordered a mobile charger option that the DC NACS fast charger adapter came with it. i just picked up a new 2024 Platinum with the $500 mobile charger on the window sticker. It only came with the mobile EVSE with 240 and 120v pigtails...

I’m thinking of swapping my 9,000 mile 2023 Lariat ER for a 2024 Platinum Lightning due to great lease deals this month. The primary reason is Massaging seats that we have in our F-450 Platinum which the wife loves. i would loose Blue Cruise after 90 days I would also loose 20 miles of...
