  1. Ford Lightning's ATT hotspot is very reliable, even in Winter across Newfoundland Canada.

    Folks, I had forgotten to add this point to our review of our Newfoundland Canada road trip this past December / January. I have used the Ford OEM ATT vehicle hotspot all across North America, coast - to - coast, in our now-gone Mach E and now in our Lightning. After running out the free...
  2. Newfoundland, Canada in December = two blizzards, three moose and four herds of caribou.

    As teased last month, my report of a three-week F150 Lightning + teardrop camper Winter drive from Virginia to Newfoundland Canada and back. Why: it was a 40 year anniversary of a tragedy back in December 1985 and I figured if not now, I'll likely never make it back up there. DC Fast...
  3. TEASER - a Winter Lightning camping trip to Newfoundland Canada.

    Like the title says, a teaser so far.
  4. Front suspension OEM endlinks - has anyone replaced them because of wearout?

    I am switching out my front shocks for the Eibach shocks. I did the rear shocks last week and the difference was immediate. FYI I am keeping the OEM springs throughout and not lifting or lowering anything. Question: did anyone here replace the front endlinks? When replacing, were the endlink...
  5. Needed: torque values for the Lightning ER front and rear shock mounting bolts.

    Folks, I'm replacing my OEM shocks front & rear after 76 thousand miles... at least one shock is leaking oil, and "why not" after this mileage on the OEM shocks. I'll be using the Eibach shocks for my Lightning ER, and per EIbach suggestion I'll be keeping the OEM springs as I do not care to...
  6. 9,000+ trip report - Summer of 2025 EV Great Adventure.

    Folks, Long 2-month trip - a fairly short trip report. "Just the facts, Ma'am"... I picked up a(nother) 14-year old European nephew in NYC on 29 June 2025. We then spent 7 weeks and 5 days on a coast-to-coast trip and ended the road part in Grand Junction Colorado, where for lack of...
  7. OEM built-in center console lock... Who Knew? (I certainly didn't know)

    Folks, While trying to install the DIY double-nickel spring stiffener mod on the center console "desk" today, I took a good look at the pivoting armrest / desk surface. On its front lip where the push-to-open console box latch is, I saw a mysterious slot. Could it be? YES it is! it's a...
  8. Lightning rear door lock and latch two-cables -- how to replace at the door handle end?

    Folks, I busted one of the door latch cable plastic ends while taking the read door panel off and on. I now have a replacement double-cable set (the black and blue set) and I can't figure out how to disconnect and reconnect the inside-the-door cable ends with their angled cable terminals. I...
  9. I recommend the RokBlokz mud flaps after three Winter snow events.

    Folks, Back in Fall 2024 I bought and installed the RokBlokz mud flaps (the smaller, non-"Rally" version) on my Lightning. After the 1st, fluffy & dry snow snowstorm here back in January, a second smaller snowfall and a third, heavy & wet snow snowstorm in February, and after several rain...
  10. Snow review - RokBlokz aftermarket mud flaps.

    Folks, I want to give a shout-out to the RokBlokz mud flaps based on their performance on my Lightning during and after the latest snowstorm. I've had a set on my Mach E Mustang - they replaced another aftermarket mud flap set on that car after the other maker's mudflaps kept popping off and...
  11. Sync not loading new emails since late November 2024... I can't figure this out.

    As per title, one day some weeks ago the Sync stopped loading my new emails from the BlueTooth-linked phone. It's not a critical feature yet I have found it pretty handy in this car and in previous cars (Ford and Toyota). I deleted and re-paired my phone... same phone BTW. No dice. Yet new...
  12. Has anyone installed tow hooks, loops or shackles on the rear frame rails?

    I want to add tow loops on the rear frame rail ends to match the front bumper tow loops. I am looking for functionality here more than styling. I heard today that an OEM Ford Raptor or Tremor rear hitch assembly with its welded tow loops might work on the Lightning (this was an experienced...
  13. Installed a new OEM lock mated to work with my truck's fob key to protect my full-use spare OEM wheel.

    Starting today, I have a full regular OEM 20-inch wheel + tire mounted in the spare wheel underbody hoist, and a new Ford OEM spare wheel lock that protects access to this full-use spare, without yet another key to lose. My temp use spare wheel is for sale, listed elsewhere on the forum...

  15. Custom electric graphic for the 21st Century truck

    Done this week. It's meant to evoke a printed circuit, and to also break up the Lightning's yuuuge body with a visual focal point up toward the front where the engine is on a gasoline truck. I stretched the graphic up past the hood opening line to end at the top side crease of the hood. Next =...

    I am converting have already converted my XLT mirrors from manual fold to power fold. I am looking for a passenger-side power folding mirror (non-telescopic) equipped with camera and side lighting. The mirror cap color doesn't matter. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance for pickup. I...
