  2. New Jersey Sold: FS: 18" Lightning Pro OEM Wheels - Set or Spares - $599

    SOLD I have a set (4) of 18" Wheels off a 2022 F-150 Lightning. The wheels have TPMS still installed, but the tires will need to be replaced. One of the wheels can be used as a spare - as is, but 3 others will definitely need tires. These will be good for anyone looking for a set for off...
  3. New study of 1,300 EVs busts battery degradation myths

    I’ve had several get down to 85%, but they’ve all seemed to level off around there. Either that, or I stopped caring….I’m pretty sure it’s the latter. At some point in my EV ownership, all of this started becoming noise. I equate it to someone saying a 200,000 mile Honda still makes 90% of its...
  4. âś… 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    It’s been a phenomenal truck. I’ve been to half the states with it. Commuted with it. Road tripped with it. Towed a camper. Plowed with it. Camped in it. Hauled a mower. Landscaped with it, mulch, trees, saw a drive in movie with the family in it. I think about the only thing I didn’t do with...
  5. âś… 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    I am reluctantly going back to a R1T… For my use case, it doesn’t come close to meeting the Lightning. I commented this morning “at least the ventilated seats are better, some of the best I’ve sat in” and she goes “finally! A positive thing!” Unfortunately the IIHS crash test rating of poor...
  6. âś… 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    So..the time has come. I’m going to be trading in the Lariat this week. If anyone is in NJ/PA/MD/VA area, I’ve got a Ford retrax pro that I won’t get any trade credit for and won’t fit the next truck. I’m not listing it for sale given the short timeframe. It’s available to anyone who’s...
  7. SR to ER battery swap DIY project

    Just stack it on top of each other, that's basically what GM did with theirs..
  8. 2025 IIHS Moderate overlap front: updated test

    I just put my 5’ tall kid back into a booster because of this test, can’t say she’s too thrilled about that. The poor rating is basically because the seat belt can move, causing the shoulder belt to ride up around the neck of the rear passenger and the lap belt to move up around the...
  9. Farley doesn’t get enough credit

    I'm not 100% sure it's for the consumer. If they could figure it out quickly, and without affecting brand reputation while charging us a subscription fee; I'm sure they would. However, as the CEO it's a smart move. Just look at the struggles VW is having. Let your team focus on their...
  10. need suggestions for alternate ev

    As someone who’s had an X (and S) I wouldn’t recommend them for 3 across, much less a Y. As someone who’s had a R1T I would recommend an X before the R1S with 3 across, simply because it’s easier to access without the need to duck and avoid smacking your kids head into the ceiling. As...
  11. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    Luckily our grid fee is low, unfortunately they charge us almost $0.20/kWh, and pay us only about $0.04/kWh when we sell back so it’s not much of a profit maker for me. I generate about 4MWh/mo, and it’s terribly fun to get into arguments with folks who tell me my car is ultimately powered by coal.
  12. MICE IN THE FRUNK!!

    My cats sleep up in the wheel well and somewhere in a frame cavity that I can't see....I have never had a mouse problem in my truck. Plenty of dead presents around it though.
  13. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    Counterpoint: I installed solar about 10+ years ago that offset 80% of my usage. After buying an electric car, I installed a secondary system to cover 100% of my usage. The solar system covered themselves in price within 5 years due to state and federal incentives. I ended up installing minor...
  14. I put solar panels on my tonneau cover!

    There’s a good amount of body panels (side skirts, trim, and spoilers that utilize 3M auto adhesive from the factory. As long as there appropriately cleaned when applying they should be fine.
  15. I put solar panels on my tonneau cover!

    Ahhh the cost of hobbies and curiosity! At a national average of $0.17/kWh you should be able to break even in 2-3 trucks max.
  16. Would you tow this?

    Adding to this, since I don't have a platinum I pulled a random used 2023 Lightning Platinum VIN and plugged it into Ford Towing calculator (https://www.ford.com/support/towing-calculator) Assuming a 200lb driver, 150lb passenger, a 60lb pet, it spit out a max tongue load of 850lb and max...
  17. Would you tow this?

    Mine is just slightly under (2022), are you estimating? If not, I wonder what changed between 2022 and 2025.
  18. Preparing for road trip

    Some good advice already. 1) ABRP 2) PlugShare 3) Don’t go over 80, seriously it’s not worth it. 4) If you’re stopped, ideally you should be charging. Go the extra 10min to a bathroom with a charger. Last bit more for sanity than time. Overnight charging is your best friend, even if you...
  19. Would you tow this?

    There are plenty of people who will tow something that they probably shouldn't be towing... I recommend as a start, go weigh you truck without a trailer. Get your front axle weight, rear axle weight with how you typically are loaded. Once you have that you can calculate some hard numbers. *I...
  20. Charging While Driving w/ Gas Generator in Bed (Range Extender for F-150 Lightning) - Testing

    That’s good to know. I like this more than a hybrid idea, throwing this in for when I tow. I’ll lose a little bit of payload but gain a ton of range and I still have my frunk for the other 90% of my driving
