Just had a heart-stopping moment with the lightning, owing to what should have been a routine flat tire change.
This warning is for people who might use AAA or other roadside assistance, for any truck with a “full sized”** spare tire. If you have a flat, make sure the roadside assistance has a...
There goes my kid’s 529
(This is my dealership in Austin, which means this truck is too close for comfort)
(in truth there were prob more custom parts than true raptor swap-ins)
Not intending to avoid or replace qualified tax advice here, just generally curious in a colloquial way:
since The Lightning weighs over 6,000lbs, in 2022 it may theoretically be subject to up to a immediate 100% deduction for people who are self-employed or own a business
Anyone have...
Heads up, if your Lightning’s alarm starts going off randomly.
For years, some ICE F-150’s have been afflicted by a problem of false activation of the alarm, and I now can confirm the Lightning upholds that most annoying tradition.
For the 4th time in the past three hours, the alarm goes...
With an irony appreciated only by folks on this forum, my across-the-street neighbor’s house has for the past two days been the scene for a national commercial being shot by Ford, for the Lightning.
With maybe a dozen retail units in Austin, TX, what are they chances the filming would...
A few weeks ago I noticed they Ford Fleet services puts forward Qmerit as their partner for Fleet-side residential installation of charging equipment:
Then last night watched a video of @tommolog and noticed his sponsorship with Qmerit, currently doing his many charger installs and HIS...
Just received this FordPass notice
It confuses me a bit.
the suggestion is these OTA updates weren’t there/possible… before
maybe I just need more coffee
On my first long road trip in the Lightning, I wondered why I hadn’t yet seen cool Ford F-150 Lightning toys, RCs, and other memorabilia like we’re used to seeing with the Raptor and other Ford “halo” products.
On that same road trip, the family stopped to charge at a Super WalMart, and I...
Apologies in advance for what may be a dunce question, but my time on thegoogle doesn’t clearly answer whether the FCSP is OCPP “compliant” - which is important to a local rebate program
Specifically, my local (Austin TX) energy company offers a 50% rebate for residential charge station...
Could be only me (wouldn’t be first time) to have not realized this, but if only for those still waiting on their trucks to avoid the learning curve:
The funk lid slides into to a selection of sub-frunk channels to create a frunk partition / load stabilizer
The above positions require the...
The tl;dr - in 2022, the battle might only come down to the uninteresting differences in tire selection (as weight, etc., are nearly a wash).
We all remember the infamous Musk video of the CyberTruck walking away with an F150, which tow-battle was so gimmicky and discussed in pop-culture that...
My sense of aesthetics and brand of OCD is triggered every time my display(s) show me a truck icon that isn’t Star White - the color of my truck.
Perhaps the reaction wouldn’t be so bad if @Ford Motor Company didn’t beat me over the head with so many images of trucks, of differing colors, none...
It will be months before the IRS issues guidance and interpretation on the IRA, including the much-discussed MSRP caps. Until then, nobody (least of all me) knows exactly how the IRS will define these MSRP caps.
Still, I’ve been curious to better anticipate how these MSRP caps may be...
Admitting that I’m bad at searching (usefully) these forums, has anyone yet made concerted efforts at data for tonneau efficiency improvements in the Lightning?
Over in the Tesla forums, there seems to be somewhat “accepted” knowledge that hitch-mounted bicycle racks (loaded) can have a ~25%...
*Hat tip* to @Lucky EV for raising it on another thread; seemed worth a stand-alone post

Just passing along a little lesson I learned the hard way, so that maybe you won’t:
Earlier today, I washed my truck and afterwards left my windshield wipers folded upwards off the glass.
Cut to an hour later, I absentmindedly used the fob to open the frunk, and was met with some unpleasant...
Experienced EV Long-Haulers, thanks in advance for any input
This coming Friday the 12th, I have a planned first long trip in the F150L (or any EV, for that matter) - but with my toddlers, through a charging desert.
I’d greatly appreciate a sanity check, or any other input/critique, on my...
It’s fully possible ai’ve managed to miss this screen for two weeks, but came across it finally today:
Relatedly, two questions:
If “Accessories” doesn’t include “Climate,” what does it include? I’m not charging a phone, but I am connected of air to CarPlay. And I suppose the onboard...
