  1. Not a single "not true", except from Brian, not AI...

    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...
  2. My first 100k miles

    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...
  3. What is your truck's nickname?

    GREASED
  4. New route-finding application

    I put in a route I frequently do, 250 miles, one charge. It suggested a Level 2 charger. Then I realized it didn’t 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.
  5. Is anyone getting more miles per charge? I had it for 3 years and it seems im getting more as it it gets older?

    My actual SOC drop for my work commute done three days in a row in similar temps has not changed in over 55,000 miles.
  6. 2025 lariat first time use of a fast charger slower than expected.

    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 I’ll get
  7. This F-150 Lightning Powers a Colorado Dream, One Latte at a Time

    Such an awesome idea. If I lived anywhere near you, I would come over buy latte and sit and read a spell. Unfortunately, I’m 1000 miles away, but who knows maybe someday my travels will take my Lightning in your direction.
  8. Should I avoid a used ‘22?

    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
  9. Tow Report: Ford Lightning vs. 4500lbs of Raccoon-Covered History

    I get about 1.5 m/kWh towing my 17’ 3500 lb boat motor trailer so that sounds about right
  10. Whose truck worked great today?

    Still loving mine after 28 months and 48,000 miles. Best vehicle of any kind that I have owned.
  11. I regularly tow a 10k dump trailer with 4000-10000lbs loads - best tow vehicle I've ever owned.

    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...
  12. I regularly tow a 10k dump trailer with 4000-10000lbs loads - best tow vehicle I've ever owned.

    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.
  13. Brand new F150 with rear passenger side rattle and peeling spray in bedliner

    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...
  14. Brand new F150 with rear passenger side rattle and peeling spray in bedliner

    YES, this drove me nuts for a week! When I figured it out I had a good laugh ?. Glad to see your note to know I wasn’t the only one ? Thanks
  15. Anyone have intermittent power loss to front motor?

    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...
  16. Phone Contact from the Ford Blue Cruise team

    The few reports I’ve read about 1.4 on MachE are encouraging. I sure hope I see it sometime soon on my Lightning
  17. IF you could do it all over... what would you buy?

    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.
  18. Lightning on fire...

    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...
  19. IF you could do it all over... what would you buy?

    Love my ā€˜22 Lariat ER, would buy it again in a heartbeat ?
  20. I’m Concerned My Lightning Has Left Me Jaded.

    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. I’m sure not gonna lend them my Lightning. ?
