This is one for the “Adversity is the Best Teacher” file. Or maybe the “Dumber than a rock” file. Anyway, I have a FCSP. It works great. I had the charger handle (the plug) latched into the FCSP just like always when not using it. When I went to remove it so I could charge the truck, it...

I’m selling a pair of side pivot storage boxes. From Ford. Nearly new. All hardware minus a couple of washers. They had to go to make room for a Bed Slide. Bummer. $480 new. Yours for $300 for the pair or best offer. No lowball nonsense. Local pickup in Northern Virginia.

Folks - When I turn the truck off at the end of the day, I’ve got the steering wheel heat on, along with one or two ticks of seat heating. In the morning, when I start the truck after charging overnight, the steering wheel heat is usually (but not always) off, and the seat heating is always...

All - I’ve bought a F150 Sentinel CREE LED Tailgate Bar from F150LEDs. The wiring instructions are straightforward … but written for the ICE vehicle. Has anyone installed this product on a Lightning and, if so, did you run into any issues associated with any unique characteristics of the...

The last two days have given me the first opportunity to drive my ‘23 Lariat in serious snow. I’m very impressed. The vehicle, with the OEM tires, handled hills, curves, backing, and piles left by plows without a hitch. I even made some deliberate moves to test spin recovery and abrupt...

All - I’ve added an ARE cap (fiberglass) and bedslide to my ‘23 Lariat. They did a fine job of paint matching and the bedslide is something I wish I’d had 5 trucks and a couple of huge SUVs ago. (Though it did mean getting rid of the two pivoting tool boxes that sat behind the wheel well.) I’m...

Folks - I’m having a cap installed on my ‘23 Lariat. I would like to install a small fan to the (inside of) the cap to provide a breeze when it gets hot and the truck is parked. Nothing is too god for my dog. I’d like to be able to switch it from up front, on the dash somewhere. I would use...

All - I’m looking for your real world opinion on dash cams. I drive a ‘23 Lariat. In about two weeks it will have a cap on back. I’m looking for a PITA-free dash and rear-cam system. I’m just about tech and tool saturated. I don’t want to have to mess with it, but do want reliable, crystal...

Folks - I am puzzled that my lane centering function tends to place the truck slightly to the right of center (i.e., closer to the right side of the lane than to the left side). I thought it was just the normal parallax - a result of my eyes being on the left side of the truck. Or maybe I’d...

OK - This may seem gratuitous or goofy, but I am writing to thank all the folks on this platform who have taken the time to answer my questions, share advice, and generally help me take full advantage of my Lightning. One cannot take for granted that postings on a site like this would so...

Folks - I’m looking for a high quality low profile white LED light bar for the roof of my 2023 Lariat. I want it to be no higher than the height of the two antenna cases so that it doesn’t add to the overall height of the truck. I live where parking garages are old with low clearances and...

All - I generally love SiriusXM and am glad to have it on my 23 Lariat. But two things bug me and I wonder if I’m alone in the experiences. First, it can take some time for the channels to load after turning on the truck’s power. It’s usually 60-90 seconds of “updating” every time I turn on...

I had a 2020 Expedition Max Platinum before buying my (beloved) 2023 Lariat. The Expedition had front seat with a truly great massage function. It did magic for back and butt for long drives. When I got my Lariat there was no way to get the massage seat option. Lots of excuses from the...

I had searched in vain for a front hitch for my 2023 Lariat. Several months ago, Garrett Blake posted photos here of a hitch he had fabricated. It looked solid, I asked (begged, really) if he’d make one for me, and he agreed. Bless him. The hitch arrived recently, installed in about 15...

My 2023 Lariat, German shepherd, and I regularly drive from northern Virginia to Hatteras Village at the far south end of the NC Outer Banks, and back. The Outer Banks are very windy, as the Wright Bros demonstrated. Several times now, we’ve found ourselves hitting 25-40 mph headwinds. The...

Every now and then when I start my 2023 Lariat the instrument screen (behind the steering wheel) will boot up normally, but the 15” center console display shows no signs of life and remains blank for as long as 2-3 minutes before booting up. It’s not a crisis, the truck operates normally...

I’ve got a 2023 Lightning Lariat. I’m curious whether anyone here has added a TPMS to the truck’s spare tire. Mine is full size, not a donut. If added, would its signal be read by the computer and displayed on the screen? Thank you. FWIW - I love my truck.

All - I’d welcome advice on replacing the mini spare with a full-size wheel and tire. Would one fit under the bed or am I going to need to mount one in the bed (or frunk)? Thank you.
