In case you haven't seen it. MT did a comprehensive study for speed vs range when road tripping. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT Yearlong Review: Road-Trip Range Strategies We measure our Michigan Lightning’s MotorTrend Road-Trip Range at varying speeds and strategize how best to cover long...

Anyone else notice that their truck doesn't do the normal light-up greeting lights when you approach with the key-fob? It used to be 100% reliable, but now seems like it works if I recently locked the truck but not if it's been sitting for a day.

For one glorious month, if I selected SPORT mode, when the truck started again it would stay on sport mode (even though the dialog would still pop up asking if I wanted to stay in sport mode). But now after some random update, when I start up it reverts back to NORMAL mode again. GARRRR...and...

Lariat ER with the 20" all seasons tires inflated to 40psi. On smooth roads/freeways/etc. the truck rides very well. It also handles big bumps pretty well on the freeway or even at lower speeds. But on local roads below 30mph, if a road has a bunch of LITTLE bumps/cracks/etc. it seems like...

Anyone know how I can adjust the steering wheel to make it straight when the truck is going straight? I've confirmed that the wheel alignment and steering wheel angle sensor are in agreement. Also, I've tested on flat ground not just roads which tend to be sloped for drainage. When the truck...

Just installed the latest plate relocator from Swarfworks that is new for the Lightning/Raptor. Well made, thick 3/16 or 1/4" plate steel. It's made to fit the passenger side tow hook and it's far away from the sensors and doesn't cover the air intake. The plate will end up slightly cheated...

Curious, It's not very cold where I am, but sometimes in the morning the truck shows 95% power when charged around 50% or less. I checked with OBD2 reader and the battery temp was around 48F. Do you guy see a slight de-rating of power even at this relatively modest coolness? It's not a...

Can someone explain if the cellular connection that the truck uses for updates (connected services?), talking to FordPass, map and traffic updates, etc.. is free? Is it free for the life of the truck or just through the warranty period? What about the 24/7 roadside assistance? How long does...

[UPDATE 2/4/23] No luck in anyone else replicating my experience below. BUT people have consistently fixed the issue by disconnecting the battery or even better, by pulling fuse 32 in the passenger kick area. This resets the modem. [ORIGINAL] Hi, just a quick note that the modem in my 2023...

Taken from out my window. When starting and stop, there are a variety of sounds that sound like big relays, but it could be something else. It doesn't sound like hub/CV related noise, but not sure. In this video you can hear 3 or 4 clicks during a gentle start. This seems to have started after...

Admittedly this is a nitpick, but I'm still in the honeymoon stage and not the 'don't give a shit' stage yet. There is a relatively small gap (pictured) between the left side of the dash top and the gauge cluster trim. With the right angle you can see into the gap. The right side is tight...

Hi all, This is more of a curiosity/nitpick question but does anyone know what the little electric motor sound near the brake pedal is from when you press the brake pedal first thing after getting in? Most of the time, I hear the electric motor sound for a second or so, but sometimes it also...

[UPDATED 12/4/22] Picked up a Lariat ER a few days ago. So far, it's nearly perfect, but I thought I'd take a minute to do a review of the truck from an initial quality perspective. [PROS] - no major issues, all the usual review stuff is true, fast, handles well for a truck, comfortable, etc...

I read somewhere that we get some free charging credit with the truck? So far I haven't found any threads on where/how to get that. Anyone know what the deal is? Thanks!

Hi all, Thanks for anyone who is willing to help. I'm at the dealer now and they are adamant on a ADM after agreeing to MSRP. You guys have all heard similar stories. What this dealer is telling me is that they put the ADM in the $100 RESERVATION process and that I should have seen the +10K...

- cars-n-bids have had no Lightning auctions for the last 10 days when they used to have 3 going at a time most of the time. - ebay motors has many auctions that didn't not sell and the ones that did sell were MSRP + $8-10K for the Lariat ER which is a wash after taxes. So it looks like: -...

Hi. I've looked a quite a few of the mobile chargers on Amazon and can't seem to find one that let's you set a charging time window. Some of them have start delays. And some have wifi so you could manually control it with an app. But, I'm looking for one where I can set a strict charge time...

It was added to my order automatically before I knew it was so poorly designed (can't set amperage, can't set charging time window, etc.) Will Ford or the dealer credit the $500 back when the truck arrives if I ask them to keep the charger?

Anyone notice that the price of the Lightning on auction sites is very close to MSRP now? There are 156-ish Lariats available on cargurus from dealers and they are still asking $20K over, but closed auctions on ebay and cars-n-bids are closing near MSRP. With tax, flippers are breaking even or...

Is it just me or do the leather seats in the Lariat show wear almost immediately? Specifically, the bottom seat cover shows significant wrinkling with very little seat time. I've seen many photos of Lariats and they all seem to have noticeable leather wrinkling even with just hundreds of miles...
