You'll get warnings long before it leaves you on the side of the road. In fact for my module replacement, Ford reached out to me to tell me a replacement was needed.
Ford is standing behind these trucks. I don't care if a part fails, mass production isn't perfect. What I do care about is how Ford handles getting it repaired and back on the road. I have had pretty good overall experience with it. Can't say it was perfect but it was certainly good enough. :)
I'm the guy that has driven a 2022 F-150 Lightning Lariat to over~139,000 miles. If you inspect the truck, including getting an ODB reader and get the battery health (and it is 98% or over), I believe that price is a bargain. Take it to the Ford Dealer and get them to tell if the recalls\updates...
The only maintenance done (I only just remembered earlier today) is replacing the 12v battery so they could do the update over Christmas. Otherwise it is just topping off fluids, inspections, and stuff like that.
In looks like I managed to add a comment to a different message into my reply to you. Ignore the "I don't think so..." line. smh, I'm just not paying enough attention to what I'm doing :crazy:
yeah, trying to be a little entertaining, otherwise things get boring 🤡
White knuckling the steering wheel isn't any fun. You'll enjoy you truck way longer than I at that rate. (y)
I don't think so. I think the highest at the moment is 137,240 miles.
It seems like you are actually using your truck as a truck. I use mine pretty much as a car nearly all of the time :)
At your mileage, unless you charge to 100% often and then run it down near 0% often or let it sit at 100% in the heat a lot, 98% sound a bit low. The next time you charge it up to 100% let it sit on the a charger for a while, even if it is just a wall socket. It will take a bit of time, a couple...
About two weeks or so ago it said 97.5% HVB SOH. But after I charged it to 100% on Wednesday, on Thursday it said 98.5%. I know NMC batteries really do need the once a month 100% charge to keep the monitoring systems in sync.
I think you are unnecessarily paranoid here. Most electronic devices fail in the early life. The battery module that failed early was a manufacturing problem. A great many of us have vehicles recalled for the 23OH issue. I now have over 137,000 miles on my truck and battery health bounces around...
I'm at over 137,000 now so we shouldn't have a problem getting 300,000 miles. I do expect a maintenance bill soon for shocks etc. Normal wear items outside of tires.
Yes, young padawan, you too will learn much. You have many more miles ahead of you with your Lightning. You shouldn't have a bunch of maintenance requirements over the next 100,000 miles (I haven't).
Somewhere around 50 mph the majority of your energy goes to pushing air out of the way with...
