I also have a 2022 Pro that I charge to 80% multiple times a week for a year + now using the Ford Mobile Charger on a 14-50 outlet that I installed. The truck draws 32 amps. Never had a problem, although I am aware that others have had problems with their FMC. Knock on wood.
A year ago I flew to NJ to buy my Pro SR demo and drove it 3000 miles back home in 5 degree temperatures. Never having driven an EV, the only problem I had the whole trip was my very first charging stop in the charging desert of central PA at an EA charging station where the whole parking lot...
I saw options to opt out for 5 or 6 states, but I could not find an option for those of us who reside in a state not listed to op out. Do you have a link?
If you can use the full $7500 federal EV tax credit, I would go for a new ā23, either Lariat or XLT ER. I actually much prefer the horizontal screen and physical buttons of the Pro/XLT, and canāt stand moon roofs. The Ford discounts and, if you shop around, the additional dealer discounts make...
Has anyone figured out if itās possible to hook up a third brake light by plugging into to either the flat 4 or round 7 trailer lights connector - without losing blue cruise, etc?
I had read that itās not possible to plug into the trailer light plug without creating problems like you described. I have a Pro, so no brake light bar on the tailgate. Since I only want to spend about $50 on a 12ā third brake like for a diy camper ($500 is out of my budget), Iām wondering if...
Did you have any luck figuring this out? I also have a Pro. I believe it has a plug in the wiring under the bed near the spare tire, which is what the trims with the tailgate light bar plug into. Iām wondering if itās possible to plug an aftermarket light bar into that. Iām making a camper and...
I think you would be fine along the interstates. With the SCs opening up I think even I-90 thru eastern Montana and North Dakota will now be possible. The problem will be how far off the interstate you can go, but with all the chargers being installed recently here in the NW I donāt think it...

I really like that PlugShare has a filter for private homes. I checked it out and some people in rural areas post theyāll allow their level 2 plugs to be used if someone is desperate for a charge.
Well, if Ford would have programmed/designed the Lightning to accept other amperages rather than be limited to just the two, as other EV manufacturers have determined they can safely do, then people like me wouldnāt be looking for a, hopefully safe as well as convenient, workaround.
I can confirm that two 120v L1 + L2 (two separate circuits and phases) combined into a 5-15r pigtail using the 5-15p 120v dongle on the Ford Mobile Charger will charge at 240v at 11.5 amps. However, if either of the circuits are GFCI protected the GFCI will trip. Has anyone found a workaround to...
Has this been tested and verified to work? Iām thinking that when I visit a friend or relative it would be nice to plug into their 240v 30 amp dryer plug with the Ford mobile charger. Youāre saying the Ford mobile charger with the 120v dongle will receive 120v on both the hot and neutral without...
Oregon now has one Magic Doc Tesla Supercharger on I-84 in Boardman that I charged at over Christmas. It charged $0.33 a kw, with no monthly subscription. It could be a special introductory rate. 20 miles to the east I normally charge at the EA charger near Hermiston, which is $0.42 a kw with...
