Yea, I just assumed my 23XLT would have a garage door opener. Not! Power tailgate and Frunk but no garage door opener! Good thing I found a remote that came with the opener after 15 years!

I’ve used mine a few times, via a simple generator transfer switch and generator plug. (I had to jury rig the neutral to get around the Truck GFI)

I lost the door (only) on my 23 and had to buy the entire assembly to get the door. I then removed the door from the new part and installed it onto the truck. I’m guessing you will have to buy an entire 25 door assembly!

I am at 47k miles and I feel comfortable driving them through the coming Pennsylvania winter. They are Goodyear. I am quite satisfied.

My 23L has had a wrench for a couple months, due to shifter failure. It was replaced a year ago via recall but has gone up again. Problem is parts on back order. It is now on repair schedule!

FYI: my charge station pro quit. I opened it up and water poured out. The gasket was installed correctly. Even though it dried out, it never came back to life. I’m using the charger that came with the truck via a 220v plug I had installed for moments like this.

One last thing, on long new territory trips, I have taken a road map and color code marked Tesla and EA charger locations. So, as things evolve, you can glance at the map to make changes on the fly. The map will not replace the Aps but just provides a big picture that includes only what is...

When I am confront with a diehard EV hater, I put my hand on their shoulder, smile, and say, “before you die you will own an EV and you know what, you are going to like it”. The smile is important. This should not be political, but they have made it so. P.S. I was also one of the first people...

EVs are not political, but money minded people fearing lost profits in fossil fuels have made it political. That said, I know people who won’t even look at or ride in an EV, and I have to wonder why? (I think they are afraid they will like it.) Makes no sense to me.

you are absolutely correct, and Stellantis is in the worst case financially.and was afraid to risk any more cash. But the same pressures I mentioned earlier are affecting all Manufacturers. It will be a sad day if Ford were to pull the plug on the MME or Lightning.

The cancellation of RAM EV is bad for EVs in general. I believe it is the result of negative political pressure that has been present for anything that doesn’t use fossil fuel. I personally was a MOPAR supporter and finally gave up waiting and bought my 23 Lightning to replace my 2007 RAM 2500...

The easy way to calculate fuel savings is: Lightning EPA rating 70 mpg, typical 1/2 ton truck EPA rating 15 mpg. That would save you about 80%. So can you imagine spending $20 instead of $100 every time you fill up your ICE? When we got our first EV (MME 100mpg EPA) we didn’t notice our...

I rolled the dice and decided to pass on any extended warranty. My 22 MME already has 67k miles and my 23Lightning has 46k miles, and most extended warranty’s don’t go past 110k miles. When you consider the cost of extended warranty on 2 vehicles, and the money saved due to fuel and maintenance...

Did you have to do anything to prevent the truck GFI from tripping? I had to remove the ground wire at the generator connector to stop the Truck GFI from tripping.

When I encounter an EV denier, I put my hand on their shoulder, smile, and say “before you die, you will own an EV, and when you do, you are going to love it!”

Well, when was the last time you saw a Ford commercial advertisement for any electric vehicle?

I applied my points from 2 fords to a set of new tires!

And, he criticized the tailgate, but didn’t mention that some models do have a power tailgate.

Are you getting the wrench indicator and/or service message. My 23XLT shifter was replaced in recall, and is acting up again. Parts is back ordered. My truck at 45k is now out of warranty, but I’m going to just assume this is a continuation of the recall. Ford has ordered a different part...

It’s all about the money. If an ER is available and the price is within reason, buy it. The first time you suddenly have to drive 200 miles in a hurry, you will be so glad!
