I did take a quick look at FordPass at the time. It wasn't obvious to me what to do. I didn't see a button telling me to "press here to begin charging." But the credit card scan was easy.
I got devirginized today (11/25/2025). My first real road trip in my 2023 F-150 Lightning Lariat SR: 167 miles from Eastgate (Cincinnati) to Findlay, Ohio.
Short version: everything went better than expected. (Once again, I over-planned. But hey, I’m anal like that.)
I left the house at 8:15...
That happened to me in my 2023 F150 Lightning Lariat SR while driving it. I stopped in a safe place as directed, shut it off and it was bricked. According to the Ford dealership that it got towed to, the error code indicated a cooling system leak in the battery pack causing a ground fault. It...
Today was my third DCFC experience. The first two were uneventful successes. So, what happened today?
24 percent SOC
Plugged into same EA charger used in the past
Failed after 4 minutes and 10.1 kWh
Reset and restarted a new session
Failed again after 2 minutes and 5.3 kWh
Moved truck to...
Unless I'm missing something here, it also appears that the last 2025 models have, or are rolling off of the assembly line now. When production restarts in Q1, wouldn't it be the 2026 model?
My guess is that Ford will follow the law rather than lose in court. That would be much cheaper for them. We'll see.
Black letter law as well as Ohio Supreme Court case law are on my side.
So, why is Ford delaying??? My guess is that they think I'll give up and accept the buy back. IDK.
Interesting. Ford ghosted me, hence forcing me to sue them. In Ohio, the consumer gets to choose full buy back or new truck. I chose to take a new truck. Ford continues to refuse. We go to trial in January.
According to my 40 Amp "Smart" Grizzl-E app, my last charging session reported max power 9.15kW. That seems to be about the average of the past three sessions.
As far as I can tell, Ford’s so-called “employee pricing” seems to be just another way to offer an incentive. (Nothing wrong with that.) On a Lariat, it appears to be about $6,200ish.
Anybody know what the percentage is and what it’s calculated on?
When I bought my 2023 Lariat SR, Ford was...
Also consider the HV battery temperature management system. I've been monitoring mine on my 2023 Lariat SR. It seems to run continuously regardless of outdoor temperature.
