Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like the tire life on your Lightning is not all that much different than anticipated tire life on my F150 Hybrid. I am almost at 35k now & judging from current tire condition I expect to need to replace them at about 50k miles. I believe the Hybrid weighs...

In continuing looking into the purchase of a Lightning, I had someone tell me that tires do not last nearly as long on EV's, as they do on on the gas powered vehicles. I would appreciate any feedback that anyone can give. Is this the truth or just someone who is looking for ways to dissuade EV...

After looking into it further, I do have access an existing 30amp 240v outlet for charging at my turnaround point. I guess that this would not be fast charging, or super slow charging. Can anybody give me an idea of how long that it should take to get an adequate charge for the return leg?

I do like quiet! That is 1 of the big reasons that I am looking into the Lightning. Thankfully, technology is trending forward with great sound dampening for vehicle interiors. You should see the odd looks I get with the hybrid pickups that I have when driving thru a parking lot (almost...

I had no idea that sharing my experience regarding the range on the Ford Hybrid Pickups would be in any way offensive. Please accept my apologies. Do I need to edit that out of my post?

Look at my signature/avatar/whatever that is to the left of our posts. I have both the F150 Hybrid (Powerboost) & the Maverick Hybrid. Love them both! I was just wondering if I could add a Lightning to the stable at this point, & do what I normally do with it. The Powerboost (4WD Long Bed)...

Can you speak to the Ford recommendation in the Owners Manual that recommends not charging the battery above 70% or discharging below 30% capacity for battery longevity? Does exceeding these recommendations impact battery warranty? If I follow these recommendations, what is the anticipated...

This is real world experience & advice I can use. Thanks for sharing!

I know that I am not likely to get 100% of what I want paying 80% of what it cost, & I definitely want range. I will only consider a Lightning with an Extended Range Battery. Thank you for your feedback!

No dryer outlet is really accessible to where the truck would have to park. But having said that, when I think about it, I could likely upgrade to a 240v outlet in proximity to the garage, depending on panel capacity.

Read it all. Thanks for the direction!

30 miles each way 4 days a week.

75% of each 150 mile leg is interstate. At my primary residence (1 starting point) I plan on installing a charging station. At the other turn of my weekly trip there currently is only 120v outlets available & I would have to pay for any upgraded charging there too, which I had hoped to avoid.

I sat in the demonstrator truck for a couple of hours going through everything that I could find throughout the entire truck & on the touchscreen. Boy is that electronic manual a doozy. That is when I found the Ford charging recommendations for preserving battery life. I cannot help that I am...

I am interested in potentially purchasing a Lightning. Doing research before I buy a truck, I borrowed a demonstrator from my dealer for a day & it gave me bad range anxiety watching how precipitously the charge dropped with cautious gentle around town driving. What is real world use the truck...

Yep. You can definitely swap the other way if you want. You would do well if you could find someone with the same trim package & mirror function, that your truck has, that wants tow mirrors. That should not be too hard. The hard part will be getting together with them physically to make he...

Crew cab 4 x 4 157”wb with 3.5 ecoboost & 3.31 rear end. I am meticulous about air pressure, tune-ups, air filters, etc. & mostly take longer trips driving like I’m old, because I am. Typically I get actual hand measured 21.5mpg. With a 36 gallon tank I regularly go 700 miles with 87 octane...

My F150 with 3.5 ecoboost regularly gets 700+ miles per tank.

I have found that Amp Research offers an aftermarket side bed step for 2021 F150’s with the 6.5 bed. I will assume that it also will work with 2022’s, since the overall platform is the same.

I have a 2015 6.5ft bed F150 that came new to me with Ford factory Side Bed Steps. It was a surprise, as the truck came to my dealer from out of state, after it was located on the dealer network from with the options that I wanted. The Side Bed Steps were not listed anywhere that I had seen...
