Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the Platinum has grey seats and the list price is over $1,000 Or $726 discounted. https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-cushion-cover-ml3z1662901ee

I did a stupid thing and had a wire cutter tool in my back pocket. When I got our of the truck the sharp point scratched up the driver leather seat bottom. Does anyone have a lead on take off bottom leather seat cover for a Platinum? Also how hard is i to replace? Is it something that can be...

Per calculations the tongue weight is within limitations. BUT the hitch has a limit of 5000# Weight Carrying and a MAX Tongue weight of 500# without a WD hitch. Weight is within your vehicle’s ratings. Your Vehicle's Capacity Gross Vehicle Weight Rating 8,600 lbs Gross Combined Weight...

I did the first loaded tow with this trailer over the weekend. It worked great. I'm very pleased. The truck really handled it like it was nothing. The trailer was very stable and no sway. I towed it empty to our cabin 128 miles away and then loaded it up with estimate of 2,000# of furniture...

The Tesla Mobile Connector (EVSE Charger) is a soilid reliable product for only $300. You would need an inexpensive NACS to J1772 adapter also to use in your Ford. https://shop.tesla.com/product/mobile-connector The also sell a kit for an additional $245 with a NEMA adapter bundle to connect...

I've beentold that even on my RV Travel Trailer. But I had them balanced anyway.

yep. I couldn’t find the sticker or hard copy of the owner manual. My wife took them out of the glove box last year and now they are nowhere to be found. I received the replacement stickers that ordered from Amazon. I will put them on and calibrate the truck as soon as I get finished installing...

The new trailer has a V-Nose. It’s had to see in my previous pictures.. Here is a picture from the dealer site that shows the X-Nose better. I went with this trailer over a similar trailer because of the Aluminum frame. The Trailer weighs 650# less than a steel frame trailer. Hopefully the...

Thank You ALL for your input and advice that helped me decide. I went with a 6X12 only because I can also tow it with my Model Y. So today I bought a New 2026 Xpress 6X12 Pro Series Aluminum Enclosed Trailer 2990 GVWR. Unloaded it did 1.3 mi/kW at 65 MPG on the 60 mile trip home. I have...

Here is a Tesla model Y towing a light weight camper.

OK, another thought. My Tesla Model Y can tow up to 3500 lbs. That makes a 6x12 a viable option. Especially for towing the 25 miles locally between the old and new house. Here is one example. https://www.righttrailers.com/unit/6x12-hook-and-line-cargo-trailer-738770 what do you think?

I have more than the normal towing experience. I towed a 8000 lb RV for years with a F150. Then graduated to a 14,000 lb 5 th wheel RV towed with a F350 SRW then towed with a F450. I haven’t towed with the Lightning. Renting a U-Haul will get expensive with as many trips I expect to do. I...

I guess that is why the 6x12 has a GVWR of 2990. Brakes not needed in most states with a GVWR of less that 3000. It still make me uncomfortable witout brakes on a trailer.

I was thinking maybe a trailer with a GVWR of 7000 lb but loaded to a max of 5000 lbs and a 500 lb tongue weight. I am now looking a 6x12 with GVWR of 2990 lb and a payload of 1790 lbs It is a single axle. The down side is it's a 4-pin wire connector and I don't think it has brakes...

I previously posted a thread here about efficiency when towing. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/enclosed-trailer-towing-limits.33725/ I am about to buy an enclosed trailer and looking for firsthand experience. I would really like to get a 7'x14' with dual axles if the truck...

I don't blame the OP for deleting his account. He had a significant emotional event and some here pointed to blame him for some reason. Posting on the internet can be cruel especially recently with the political environment. As a Tesla owner I've experienced the personal cruel comments on...

I understand. There is a huge value knowing that you owned it, took good care of it and you know the history. Buying used can be a crapshoot. I'm getting up in age and when my lease expires I'll be 82 years old. Right now due to a uncorrectable slowly progressing vision problem I don't...

I also lease a 2024 Platinum. In 2 years from now in 2028 our 2024 Lightning Platinums will likely be worth only $39,000. My residual Buyout on my 2024 Platinum is $49,000. Would you buy it if the actual value is 10k less? I base this on the current KBB Trade in value of a 3 year old (2022)...

I wonder what all these flood of lease returns will do to resale vale?

I’ve bought 72 new vehicles since 1970. My 2024 Lightning Platinum is only the 3rd lease. The previous 2 were worth 10-20% less than residual at lease end and I expect my Lightning to follow same the ACV to Residual ratio at lease end. Honda and Acura were not willing to budge on the residual...
