  1. Did Ford change the motors or throttle response for 2024?

    Does your new Flash have different/larger wheels? That could affect acceleration.
  2. Adding Heated Seats to Pro?

    As mentioned, fuse slot #37 worked for 12V ignition power (see fuse box or manual to locate it, under the glove box). I don't remember for sure, but I think I used this add-a-circuit to tap into it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DLXWTQY/
  3. Best way to drive on the expressway for maximum battery life?

    As said above, it’s a balance between drive time and charge time. There is no magic speed that will be optimal for everyone or every trip. Here’s my real-world data (Pro SR with platinum wheels). The variation at each speed is mostly explained by air temps and wind speed.
  4. Just took a 450 intersate road trip in a standard range lightning. Never again

    FWIW, here’s my real-world data, including temps ranging from 30-80 deg F. (SR Pro with 22” wheels and Grabber HTS60 tires).
  5. Living with the Standard Range battery in the Lightning

    Here's my real-world data (Based on 20-mile tests. For range, multiply by 98kwh). The variation at each speed is generally predictable based on Headwind and Temperature. I've charged at several 62.5kw Chargepoint stations and I usually average 45-55kw on those.
  6. Surprised by tire wear

    That’s correct. I changed to the Ford Performance 22” wheels with the same Grabber tires that come stock on Platinums. Link below to the wheels I have. Total weight with 33" Grabber tires was 87lbs, vs 70-something for stock 18's with 32" Michelins. I don't have solid data to back this up...
  7. Surprised by tire wear

    That’s correct. I changed to the Ford Performance 22” wheels with the same Grabber tires that come stock on Platinums.
  8. Surprised by tire wear

    My SE Pro with 22" General Grabber HTS60 was measuring 7/32" on front and 8/32" on rear when rotated at @11K miles. I keep them around 42PSI. I guess that puts me on track for about 25K life span.
  9. Mysterious double chime while driving

    Same here - my Pro model gives seemingly random double chime alerts (same as the "school zone" notification, but without any messages appearing).
  10. XLT OEM Bed Lights Install

    I took a chance on this set for only $16. The quality feels good and the color seems to match the other LED's just fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081S85YGJ I initially missed that there are 3 lines to update in Forscan. Once I figured that out the bed lights started working, both with the...
  11. Adding Heated Seats to Pro?

    I installed the Rostra seat heaters and lumbar support into the Pro. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rpc-250-1900 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4BNC8E Used open fuse slot #37 for ignition-on power, and ran the wires under the flooring. The trickiest part for me was disconnecting the seat...
  12. Heated Steering wheel and heated seats retrofit insatall on a PRO ??

    I installed the Rostra seat heaters and lumbar support into the Pro. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rpc-250-1900 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4BNC8E Used open fuse slot #37 for ignition-on power, and ran the wires under the flooring. The trickiest part for me was disconnecting the seat...
  13. Real-World Home Power Backup Options Using F-150 Lightning

    Here’s another option, allowing a generator hookup to a single circuit. Worked great to run my furnace (which I needed because my main panel won’t support a normal interlock)...
  14. Powering a single home circuit from the Lightning (such as a gas furnace blower) using EZ Generator Switch

    I’m not sure if it’s OK to post copies of their materials, but they have how-to videos on their web site that basically show the same things.
  15. Powering a single home circuit from the Lightning (such as a gas furnace blower) using EZ Generator Switch

    I'm now running my gas furnace (blower, etc.) from the F150 Lightning! Whole house power was beyond my budget, but the EZ Generator Switch seems to work well to back up targeted circuits. The setup is shown below and used one of the truck's 110V outlets. I ran a two hour test with no issues...
  16. Thanksgiving Travels - Who's taking the Lightning?

    Not taking the Lightning. There are only a few fast chargers within 100 mile radius of Fort Wayne, IN and I don't want to risk finding a line at the one I'd be counting on. Crowds at the 62.5kWh station in Lima, OH have bitten many EV owners traveling I-75 between Cincinnati and Detroit...
  17. Are the steering wheels different across trims? (aside from Pro)

    I like the leather much more than the rubber wheel and it turned out looking like it should, as if was there from the factory. My only doubt is whether I should have added a heated wheel, but from what I can tell (based on youtube video below) that would have been about 3X the cost and effort...
  18. Are Pro seats actually different beside vinyl?

    I'm finding the Pro seats to be lacking in lumbar support, and am having to consider aftermarket options to address it.
  19. Are the steering wheels different across trims? (aside from Pro)

    I got a leather Lariat wheel on ebay and installed in on a Pro. The button packs can be swapped from one wheel to another, so you don't need to find a perfect match. I'm happy with the result. There are a couple YouTube videos that show the process to retrofit a heated wheel, but it looked...
  20. Adding Heated Seats to Pro?

    What products is everyone looking at? From this video it appears that the challenging part will be working around the full-width locking channels. Most aftermarket heaters recommend you leave about 1.5” width on either side, which may not work with the channels...
