Since the dealer found nothing wrong it kind of sounds like what happened to me a couple of years ago I went to make an errand and it did almost the same thing refused to start or go into reverse. The speedometer went blank. I shut it off and on and still nothing. I tried a bunch of other...

Here is more details of how this came about. When it comes to batteries today is like the beginning of PC's and Cell phones. So many companies trying to be the top tech, which is good for us EVers for future battery replacements. Eventually the cream will rise to the top we are just along for...

I have thought about buying a cargo trailer and did a little searching. For my purpose a 7x14 tandem axle is what I am thinking about, but with an aluminum frame for the lightest empty trailer will hopefully help with the range a little. Also being able to add a little more cargo. The aluminum...

2023 Lariat: I had 2 modules go out of spec one month after I bought it. I had tested charging at a Electrify America charge on a trip a few weeks after I bought it and a few days later pulling the truck out of the garage to put the trash out I get back in my truck to put it back in the garage...

I'm talking about disconnecting the High Voltage battery only for transport. In the video where they are swapping a standard range battery with an extended battery one of the steps is doing that. The Ferry company might reconsider transporting truck on a trailer with the High Voltage battery...

I wonder what if you disconnect the ER battery like I saw on the video of swapping SR to ER battery if that would be approved on a trailer or some other transport.

Mine $0.1337/kwh including all fees.

If you really want to know your cost for charging you need to calculate the true cost you must include all the amounts for Energy Charge, Fuel Charge, Asset Securitization Charge, Regulatory Assessment Fee, Gross Receipts Tax, and Municipal Franchise Fee and break that down to get the real cost...

They also look like non-inflatable tires. Flat tires were pretty common back then. I wonder if he did that to go faster since there wasn't any upgrade equipment for engines back then.

I don't pay any attention other then that it is blinking. As long as my lights are blinking I am good with it. The vehicles of the 50's and 60's the turn signal arm was fragile. There were many broken to where you had to hold down the turn signal arm through the whole turn just to keep it...

It sounds to me you don't drive this truck on a regular basis and it sits for long periods of time. An ICE you can let sit for weeks and even if the battery goes dead you can replace it and with a little work get it running again. With EV it is just like anything else that has a battery. If you...

I woke up a couple of mornings ago with the App showing 77% charge 0 miles range. I closed the App and reopened it and it corrected the status. Just like PC's when something is not working right just reboot it works a high percentage every time.

For the group of Lightning owners that rarely take long trips or pull trailers long distance and only use their Lightning for local and short trips where a round trip can be achieved on one charge having a EREV has it's own set of problems of most of the time not being used enough to keep it in...

I only charge at home from the Utility. My total miles since I purchased my 2023 Lariat 24,996. I pretty much use it locally, but take a few trips a year of about 200 miles round trip average. I keep a spreadsheet and document every charge since I bought it. For year: 2025 Total kwh Charged...

Unfortunately you still have to turn on the truck to use it. It is more like a monitor. I think the 22's have it so the truck does not have to be on to use it. I live in Florida and the hurricanes that came lest year knocked out my power for 3 days. I used the pro-power with a number of...

In my day when someone pulled up beside me at a light and smiled at me it was racing time!! Revving your engine does not have the same effect though. I would have no idea why someone would think differently.

I think that a diesel/electric system is a better hybrid system then Ford current hybrid system. Ford should have stopped the hybrid production and redesigned it and leave the Lightening alone just improve it with faster charging and make them all extended range. All I can say is everyone knows...

Putting a engine/generator will mean they have to cut the weight somewhere and where else then the battery. Also by the time they re-engineer the Lightning for this design the battery tech will most likely be much better by charging faster and with no degradation like the Solid State battery...

I enjoyed the offroad trip and the use of a generator to recover some of the power back. I often wondered if it would make a difference vs the extra weight of hauling a generator and fuel. Too bad it was a sad ending. I wondered if your red Lightning ended up at Martin's Rebuilds since I have...

What ever the case after the 8 year warranty we are all on our own and if you can pick up whole batteries on Ebay from wrecked Lightnings at this price they should really be cheap in 8 years and maybe all new replacements like solid state batteries or something new. This project shows that we...
