Exactly how I feel. I am now seventy and bought my first car at eighteen, the earliest age of ownership. Since then I have bought and sold more cars and trucks than I can remember owning as many as five at a time. I still have two trucks and one car one of which is my Lightning. All but a...
No, it drops off considerably. I always charge to 100% before towing my boat an a road trip. That last few percent can be quite slow and almost a trickle from 99 to 100. However, one thing interesting is that when you start driving at 100% you get quite a few extra miles more than you think...
I put in a route I frequently do, 250 miles, one charge. It suggested a Level 2 charger. Then I realized it didnāt know I was towing. Is there a tow mode where I can enter m/kWh so it can accommodate lower efficiency. Also allow adjustments for tires or wind would be nice.
Not uncommon at EA chargers. Some of them are derated while awaiting maintenance. Try a Tesla V4 Supercharger when you are at 40% SOC. That would be a better test. Tesla units are more reliable for faster speed. I usually hit 170-180. EA is a crap shoot what Iāll get
Such an awesome idea. If I lived anywhere near you, I would come over buy latte and sit and read a spell. Unfortunately, Iām 1000 miles away, but who knows maybe someday my travels will take my Lightning in your direction.
I own a 2022 Lariat ER with 51,000 miles and absolutely love it. Best vehicle I have ever owned. I especially like the 80 Amp charging with the dual inverters that they deleted on the later models. That was a stupid move by Ford but it makes my 2022 worth more
I regularly tow a boat, but only once towed a dump trailer with river rock. The haul was smooth and seemingly effortless. It was like nothing was back there. I only had a 40 mile trek out to the quarry empty and 40 miles back so range was no issue at all. Highly recommend for short to medium...
Yes, I agree. This vehicle is great for towing. Whether it be my boat or a dump trailer full of river rock it makes no difference, this thing pulls like a beast.
I was kind of lazy. I kept trying to figure it out while I was driving, reaching in the glove box, the center console, under the seats, checking the dash while driving, etc. The sound always seemed like it was coming from closer to me than all the way across the cab. Then after almost giving...
Yes, three times in 46,000 miles. Each time I pulled over. I had to do more than just turn off truck off and on. What I found works is pull off road, turn off truck, get out, lock truck then unlock, get in and start up truck. If I left out any of these it would not return to both motors...
Would do it all over again. This truck is so much better and tons more fun than my ICE truck. Will never buy another ICE truck again and likely will sell the one I have; just don't use it anymore.
This looks staged. Truck in the middle of nowhere, guys in fire suits videotaping, looks like a Pro model but there is so much smoke from the rear you cannot identify the Lightning tail lights. The audio ID's it before he passes in front of it as a battery operated truck and before he sees the...
Yup, I kept my gas truck just in case. Needless to say it rarely ever gets driven except when a friend or family member needs to borrow a truck. Iām sure not gonna lend them my Lightning. ?
