Got my camera mounted, ran the wiring forward and mounted the TPMS module in the A-frame. A bit tedious and definitely use plenty of zip ties and wire loom tape to ensure the harness is secure and protected from chafe points, but there is nothing really technically complex if you're not too...
Thus far, I've been more than lucky that despite navigating through torrential rain, blizzard snow and driving sleet, I've never experienced the water intrusion issue on my rear lightbar since I drove my truck home in October of 2022. And so because my schedule is pretty hectic, I've been...
As you guys may have seen before, I previously posted about a different super simple install phone mount for Sync 4A equipped Lightnings, but it came with one big downside, being that due to the angle of the arm, your phone would block the BlueCruise driver monitoring cameras, disabling...
Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know any of this was a thing, but apparently the Sync 4A system has a built in calculator, tic tac toe game and two coloring book drawings!
Hey all so I've been testing this new phone mount/holder for a week or so,and I'm still working on a video for my channel,but I figured I should share it with you guys sooner than that. It's not so much a mod as a product that is super easy to install, (if you can even call it that) and remove...
If you're getting a 2024 Lightning, but are lamenting the loss of the underseat storage, there is an aftermarket option. Reviews seem to suggest you'll still need to source a bolt kit from Ford, but otherwise should be a straightforward install

Yesterday (09/26/2023) I was picking up some things at Walmart when I pulled into the parking lot and noticed another truck the same color as mine and immediately identified it as a Lightning. It was a beautiful Ice Blue Silver Metallic Platinum. Had to be an early 2022 build as it still had...
I know it's been discussed in various threads before, but I figured it was worth it's own thread. I love that the Lightning has a very tactile, physical shifter, instead of some dinky knob or flat buttons, but God, do I hate its location. Oooh ahh it can fold down with a motor that sounds like...
Regardless of your stance on taxes and their excessive nature, it is fair to expect EV drivers to pay their share for road use. However from a privacy/civil liberties perspective this is not It. This violates the Fourth and Fourteenth amendments. There could be yearly inspections where the...
My friend who goes to school in the city and lives in an downtown was walking back to her apartment when she saw a Lightning speed past her. She immediately identified it as a Lightning by its silent operation and the badge on the bedside. A police officer then stepped out and ran down the...
Hey guys, so I've been going to the Ford Nationals in Carlisle every summer for years and usually I'm only bringing along my 79 Lincoln, but this year I'll also be bringing my Lightning and it'll be my first year entering a truck and also my first year bringing an EV.
Any of you guys planning...
After reading a previous post about how the underbody shielding made it almost impossible to use a floor jack to get the truck supported on jack stands, I decided to try it for myself and tackle a home tire rotation today. It's true that the underbody shielding blocks most of the frame rails on...
The other day I was headed out on a drive, was just about to get on the highway when I looked down at the instrument panel and saw the tailgate ajar indicator. There was no accompanying pop up warning. I was obviously concerned and pulled over to check my tailgate, worried that my stuff might...
So I just wanna preface this by saying this simple yet genius solution was not my idea but rather sourced directly from the F150 14th Gen forum. Now that being said let's get into.
The Problem
The center console compartment door will barely stay up, if at all. If you're on anything but even...
Wasn't sure where to make this post so I'm just posting it in general, but if one of the admins feels it belongs somewhere else, feel free to move it!
So let's get into it!
Why even do this?
I have never liked the idea of perpetual network connection within a vehicle's core systems and...
Any of you guys get vanity plates for your Lightning? My other two cars have unique plates so I figured it was only fitting to get one for my Lightning. Things like "LIGHTNG" and most of the overdone EV meme plates ("NO GAS", etc) were already taken, but when I found one of my basic ideas was...
So today after returning home, I opened my front trunk using the button under the hood and it operated just fine. I removed some stuff and then went to close it and after pushing the button, nothing happened. I thought that was very weird, so then I went to push the button on the fob...
So although I've otherwise had zero issues with my Lightning, I've had a persistent 12V battery draining issue that results in the truck going into deep sleep after at most three days sitting idle.
With the cold weather I experienced some peculiar issues yesterday. After driving and parking at...
It's sad that this is my first ever post on this forum, but I've been lurking on here since June, months before I got my Lightning.
Didn't get to post about it sooner since I've been so busy talking with insurance and trying to talk with my bodyshop. But this happened two days ago...
Slowed...
