  1. Pre-Purchase Guidance and Thinking Points

    Definitely put a charger at your home and at your vacation homes and at the place you frequently visit. If one of your vacation homes is in a cold environment, note that the Lightning's range drops dramatically in cold weather. Listen carefully to the advice from folks with trailers. I cannot...
  2. October Forum Survey Results

    Brian, How about you create a spreadsheet listing all the items people have asked for AND which you sent to the product team. (Like "Dog Mode".) Then put beside each item a catagory as to whether or not that item is in the product plan. E.G., Dog Mode - Not in Product Plan. Request B - In...
  3. Favorite winter tires?

  4. EA: Where have you been?

    EA sucks here in Boston. I still have a lot of free credit from when I took delivery of my truck in June of 2022.
  5. Winter Tires vs All Season

    Winter Tires. Hands down for anyone living in New England.
  6. Love the truck, but a few minor gripes that I hope they improve.

    Here's the work around. AC / Heat On: Be sure AC is set to “Auto” and to, say, 73 degrees. Truck On: Leave the Truck Running. Lights to Off: Turn the dial to the left until it’s “off”. Close Mirrors: This is optional. “Power Down” Timer Off: Turn Off the 30 minute “Vehicle Power Down Timer”...
  7. Love the truck, but a few minor gripes that I hope they improve.

    I woiuld add Dog Mode to the list. I have a simple "work around" which works fine. But I'd prefere if it was just one button.
  8. Leaving AC running with truck locked? - SOLVED!

    If you do not turn off the "Power Down" timer, it'll shut of in 29 minutes. If you do shut off the Power Down timer, it'll keep going until the battery reaches the level that you set.
  9. Leaving AC running with truck locked? - SOLVED!

    Agree it's not happening. The feckless lawyers at Ford probably killed it. I too do not take my dog (a 89 lb Fox Red Lab) on errands. Except when I drive from Boston to our camp in Maine, I need to stop at a supermarket in Portland and buy groceries. I walk the dog (Louis; 4 years old last...
  10. Leaving AC running with truck locked? - SOLVED!

    I agree on all counts. I was one of the first people to take delivery of a Lightning and one of the first things I requested of Ford is Dog Mode. I came up with the work around but it's NOT as good as Tesla (as you point out.)
  11. Leaving AC running with truck locked? - SOLVED!

    Sorry, I do not know. My lab stays in the back seat.
  12. Leaving AC running with truck locked? - SOLVED!

    No need if it is running.
  13. Leaving AC running with truck locked? - SOLVED!

    I typed these instructions up in June 2022 when I took delivery. Use this all the time for my lab. AC / Heat On: Be sure AC is set to “Auto” and to, say, 73 degrees. Truck On: Leave the Truck Running. Lights to Off: Turn the dial to the left until it’s “off”. Close Mirrors: This is optional...
  14. Update 8/22/2025: F-150 Lightning major charging issues on road trip

    $60 a day allowance for a rental sounds prett good to me. The fact they insisted a Ford be rented makes perfect sense to me.
  15. Connected Navigation Expired.

    Case in point: The route of the road my camp is on in Maine was re-routed back when Eisenhower was President. Ford Nav does shows the old route. So when I drive (correctly) on the road, Ford Nav keeps telling me to turn into the woods to get on the old path.
  16. 3 year ownership Survey

    Good thought. But my span folder "self empties" after 30 days and it's been over 60 days.
  17. 3 year ownership Survey

    I took delivery in June 2022. Still not seen this survey.
