Thanks Dan, after much online snooping around I learned this is common, particularly with more modern pickups. A local dealership tech also said the same, that you can expect a 2:1 ratio of wear from rear to front. It's taken me a while to wrap my head around the concept, but I am getting there...

yes, there are three different ones within a reasonable drive. I'm thinking of stopping by the closest of them tomorrow and talking to the service dept.

Same. that's why I tried to get them to explain to me how it could have gotten to that point. They just tried to explain it away with the road conditions in our area, salt and sand, etc.

You'd be correct. I only occasionally have weight, and have only twice towed anything heavy. And if I tried to brake with my left, I'd end up dead somewhere.

Thanks. I know from mountain biking how much more the front brakes do than the back, but wasn't confident enough when it comes to the truck to call out the service advisor on that statement in the shop. But I did lose confidence in the conversation when they pulled that out. So then back to the...

I drive a 2023 ER and it has 31k miles. My rear brakes are nearly depleted. There's about 3 mm left on them. This was spotted when I had my snow tires switched for summer tires at one Ford dealership, and confirmed by a different Ford dealer at my 30k check up. From everything that I have read...

Doc fees are such bullshit. $250 is low, mine were $499. Every other business would just build this into the cost of business (except Ticketmaster, they suck too). They want me to believe after spending $73k they can't help by filling out a few forms without charging me for the "service"?

I'm taking delivery today (found the right one on a lot just this Monday!) and am getting 3.9% for 60 months. They didn't offer 48 months, but I also didn't ask.

Thanks all for the information. It's super helpful. I've decided to go with the 40amp charger provided by my utility company. They can't upgrade the transformer until March or so. Until then I'll mostly be using a mobile charger and/or the public charger at the library a mile down the road...

I'm thinking that this is the best way to go. I had to pay to upgrade the transformer in 2018 with the PV installation, but we didn't know at the time we'd be needing even more. I'll kick myself if I need to upgrade that thing three times!

Thanks, good info. My utility will only give the smaller charger provided it's installed by a licensed electrician and they "right size" the transformer to the max. But I get what you're saying. In reality, I'll probably be setting mine to charge when the sun's shining. We have a PV system and...

Thanks, the charge time is really helpful to know. I highly doubt I'd be anywhere near zero at the end of a typical day. I've been putting 8-10k miles/year on my old Toyota Sequoia, mostly 4mi, 15mi, and 25-30mi round trips depending on how big of a town I need to go to.

Hi all, I will be taking delivery of a Lightning ER on Friday and I'm looking for information regarding the Level 2 charger. I have two options under consideration. What would you do? Option 1: Install the FCSP. This requires a significant transformer upgrade from my utility, so while the...
