Hey all
I have a 2024 Lightning Flash, and I have noticed for a while now that the recirculation button doesn't stay on for very long. Wondering if anyone else has seen this or has a resolution.
When I click into the climate screen, and then toggle the recirculation button, I hear the...
Hi all, will make this brief.
Watched @tommolog 's great video about his 3 year review, and in it he has his 70mph (112kmh) range test in his 2022 lightning ER doing 286 miles (458kms). Doing some math, that would mean his efficiency in kwh/100kms would fall around 28.6kwh/100kms.
On my...
Minor one here, not sure if its been discussed.
But, the 2025 flash trim is showing as a 123kw usable battery and up to 515kms range (~320-322 miles), and the 2024 I bought has a 131kwh usable battery and the same posted range.
Did they actually get 9.4% more efficient and I am missing...
Hey all - Mods move wherever you prefer something like this to appear.
Random comparison here, but after 10,000 kms on my 2024 Flash trim Lightning, and after a couple months of resetting the trip meter to measure the difference in spring/summer/and winter (only bought this start of Nov), I...
Hey all
This here is my truck (2024 Flash trim) powering an airbag for mtn bike freestyle training...two giant fans pulling about 1750 watts each running (peak 2,400 i think on startup), running out of the bed. Worked FAN-tastic! (get it...fans...I'll show myself out)
Seriously though, WAY...
Hey all
Anyone know how to modify the Android Auto state of charge estimator on arrival feature, to reflect towing?
I have found it to be really accurate for most of my road trips and daily drives, but when towing, it does not change to reflect the towing load like the truck's range estimator...
Hi all
Trying this here on Main. Back in Oct 2024, I test drove a dealer truck, and did a small tow test with my tent trailer. I noticed that when I turned on the turn signals, it automatically showed the camera view for the side views of the vehicle....super handy.
Fast forward to now, and...
Hi all
Did a test tow of a 19 foot class Bunkhouse trailer this weekend, doing a 90km loop at highway speeds, with a "mountain" of 400 meters (~1,300ft) elevation and descent, and then return trip the same elevation and descent.
Results were pretty on par with the Towing efficiency Data...
Anyone encounter this?
Drove kids to school, everything was fine. Took daughter inside, came back out and got into truck, and my instrument cluster didn't turn on.
Pulled over, parked, turned truck off, got out so it locked. stood there in the snow for a couple mins, then got back in...
Hey all
Have a '24 Flash trim, and I have had this happen twice now where the truck has been chiming at me about the seat belts even though all the occupied seats have them done up. The old fashioned seatbelt warning image from every vehicle I've ever owned shows on the dash, as well as the...
Hello folks
Finally got to do a long-ish road trip in our 2024 Flash trim Lightning, doing about 1500kms round trip through BC in winter, with lots of elevation changes, high speed highways, and some snow/cold. Here are some notes:
Cost:
Overall, spent $200 on fast charging for 1500 kms of...
Hi all
First off, what a mission to find one of these trucks if you have a colour preference! We now have a '24 Flash trim, and love it so far. Pic attached!
A main reason we got this was for the supercharger access. However, my Ford dealer really :poop: the bed and was beyond unhelpful...
Hi all
Saga continues for me to actually get my hands on the lightning that I want...
But in the meantime, I have had a couple dealers tell me that they've had customers complain that purchased the max tow package. They said that the extra cooling equipment in that uses up a bit of extra...
Hey all
My local Ford dealers here on Vancouver Island are not making the purchase process very easy, so I am thinking to buy elsewhere. Anyone have any good recommendations for Ford dealerships in BC where you have had a good experience?
Thanks

Hey all
To start, I do have an EV already, and with winter tires on we leave it in Regen mode all the time....but it's Regen is not a full one pedal driving as aggressive as the lightning's one pedal mode.
Have any of you found any dicey moments from winter driving in snowy/icy conditions...
Hello
Have a '24 Flash trim in my driveway at the moment on a 2 day test from a local dealer, and I took it to a Shell 180kw fast charger to see how it does. I am not a lightning owner at the moment obviously, so if I am missing anything please keep that in mind that I can't find concrete info...
