Not my truck…but I caught this Flash going down the expressway the other morning. I can only imagine what this does to your range. I only got the one shot as I didn’t want to end up causing an accident. Glad to see people putting their trucks to work.
When the second gen was stock, it was probably a toss up. But I added a 6# boost pulley, chipped the computer, and added a shift kit. I pulled 12.7 in the quarter mile in muggy south Florida. I doubt the current lightning is that fast. When stock, the second gen was 13.7.
But here’s the thing...
I owned a red 2002 SVT Lightning. It was an absolute beast. I loved the intoxicating whine from the supercharger and the fact it would spin the tires even rolling at 25 mph. Anyways, life happens and I sold it a long time ago and it still bums me out that I don’t have it anymore.
I was...
The vinyl floors in my Pro have a chalky white appearance. I don’t normally notice them because I have Truxedo floor mats. But I was greeted with this surprise when pulling them out to clean. Anyone else having this problem and have a possible solution?
I remember watching a youtube video of someone charging their Tesla off of a portable generator. His portable charger wouldn’t charge either. I think it had something to do with the floating neutral of the generator. He had a plug with the wires connected that he used in one of the outlets of...
I have 11,000 miles in about 14 months of ownership on my SR Pro. I live in sunny south Florida with a daily commute of less than 50 miles. I’ve take it on a few road trips to Orlando, about 250 miles one way. The turnpike has rest stops every 40 miles or so with chargers at almost all stops...
On a DC charger, my Pro SR tops out at 161 kw. I’ve seen those numbers on FPL and EA chargers. Because the battery pack is below 400volts, you need a charger with a higher amp output to compensate for the low voltage. On the 150 kw chargers, I top out around 100 kw. But on the 350 kw chargers, I...
Congrats!!!! After 14 months, I got it as well. This morning as I pulled into work I noticed it. At first, I was worried my truck was broken before I realized it was my SOC.
That is one of the unfortunate quirks with the software. If the truck is on from the key it will turn off when you unplug. But if the climate is on through the app it will continue to run when unplugged.
To complicate matters the inverse is true when opening the frunk. If the climate is on...
Oddly, I got the update a few weeks ago. Although not perfect, it’s been a much better experience in my use. It’s more responsive and simplified.
Unfortunately, I still have to have my phone on me to use my Apple Watch. I have a data plan on my watch and was hoping that it could run...

Congrats on your new truck. I got a Truxedo pro x15 and a Bedrug. I messaged RealTruck directly for the Truxedo and they gave me a discount. They were great and would order through them again.
I cashed in my points from buying the truck and ordered the Bedrug from Ford. It covered half the...
