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...

So there is a 8yr warranty on the battery what happens when one or two battery modules have a mismatch voltage issue how are you going to take care of that? Will Ford honor the warranty with the Vin says it is a SR? Or you are now on your own? Back to searching eBay for another ER battery...

I have seen in other threads where even the slightest damage insurance companies are righting them off as totaled. If the frame is not bent I and the battery is not damaged I would consider getting a hold of Martin Rebuilds and see if it were possible to have it fixed. If you search on youtube...

AI says The largest tire you can put on a stock F-150 Lightning without any lift is generally a 285/60R20, though some sources suggest larger tires are possible with modifications.

I'm sure the Deer was also happy about that too! 🦌

Something to consider is that the charger has a converter built in so the only thing that will be damaged is your charger and that would be a rarity.

I am very disappointed. In order to see the kwh charged you have to close the app and reopen it. The scheduling worked at first but now it completely ignored it and did not charge my truck last night. I wake up early to take a small trip only to find my truck never got charged last night so I...

No, the trailer electrical connector on an F-150 Lightning is not connected directly to the 12V battery. The power for the trailer's auxiliary charging pin is regulated by the Trailer Module and is only active under specific conditions. This system is a safety and power-management feature that...

I noticed that too. I had to close the app and reopen it to see the Energy Added.

It looks to me they took out a number of things in sub locations where you had to hunt for them before are now on the main screen. I found it a little slow when I remote started it from the parking lot to cool down close to when I was leaving the store. One of those times it did not give me...

Just put the truck in valet mode. You will definitely add more miles, but you will not go very fast. You might have to drive with your safety lights on all the time. :)

It looks like it is having a bad dream. :)

At least you have that feature instead of always having to turn on the truck and turn off the auto headlights, Auto wipers, seat heating/cooling, Steering wheel heater, AC/ heater and anything else you have set up each time the power goes out and then have to go back and reset everything back to...
