  1. Poll: Do you use PAAK or Key fob for daily use?

    PaaK exclusively since i bought the truck in January of 2024. It failed me once in that time so I bought these… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H1C21O2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title The fob is WELL hidden, but accessible in an emergency.
  2. PSA if your tail gate is down and you have a light strapped load

    Just ordered! Had to drive across the county with a load of 16’ cattle panels and the bouncing gate was driving me crazy. Never again!
  3. Your Username - why & what does it mean?

    Needed a screen name for ICQ back in the mid 90s. It was a joke at the time, but it’s never taken when I sign up for anything so I stick with it.
  4. Ford Sunroofs Suck - Seal Issue Discovered

    Came here to say that my moonroof started 'chattering' at me on the cold morning drives to get the kids to school. It was right above my head and was driving me insane. The YouTube video linked here fixed me right up. Took less than 10 minutes to spray some B'laster silicone lubricant on the...
  5. Intentional cold soak -15

    Speaking of gauge elements I don’t fully understand, what is the meaning of the energy guard not going to 100?
  6. Private Ford EV Technicians

    Welp. This thread has me rethinking my life.
  7. Aftermarket NACS Adapters - best recommendations?

    +1 for A2Z Typhoon Pro. One in each vehicle. Both flawless.
  8. Installed FCSP, Generator Inlet, MTS, Subpanel, Conduit, and my entire body hurts.

    I'm always humbled when I see you guys (and others) doing this type of thing yourselves. I've changed a few receptacles in the house, but that's the extent of my electrical work. :) Good on you! Kick ass on the chemo. Double good on you!
  9. What Level 2 charger do you recommend

    All of these are probably great recommendations. I've used this one daily for a year now with zero issues... Amazon.com: AMPROAD iFlow P9 EV Charger Level 2, 10 to 40 Amp, 110-240V Universal EVSE, Versatile for Portable & Wall Charger (NEMA 14-50, 25 Feet Cable) : Automotive The price was...
  10. Why can't Ford get it right?

    I can't imagine having this truck without a NACS (Tesla) adapter. It would drive me up the damn wall and GREATLY reduce the experience. We did some long miles this week for the holidays and took the Lightning. Granted there are a healthy number of SuperChargers (and other L2) spread around...
  11. Show a picture from your daily commute!..

    BRAG! :) That's lovely. My commute is just up the stairs these days. Which makes me sad. Pre-Covid I would have seriously loved my Lightning versus the old ICE and watching the gas needle.
  12. Water Bottle or Tumbler for Rear Armrest Cup Holders

    My wife and daughter keep these in my truck for their ridiculously large Nalgenes... Amazon.com: Car Cup Holder Expander - Fits Hydro Flasks 32/40 oz, Nalgene, Yeti & Large Bottles up to 3.8 inches Wide - for Car up to 3.2 Inches Wide - Black : Automotive I hate them, but they may work for...
  13. I wanted to have Android Auto load ABRP on my display, but I later realized that I need a paid subscription. Is it worth it?

    I use ABRP 4 or 5 times a year road tripping across the state. In my mind that breaks down to $10/trip so it's worth it. I also use it with the OBD dongle for accurate consumption tracking. The maps engine in ABRP is straight up trash though. It bounces from road view to satellite view...
  14. EVSE in the bed?

    Behold the "Juice Thief 9000"! I went with a Rockler dust hose reel I had sitting unused, but I found a number of RV cord reels on Amazon. Thought about a 5 gallon bucket, but the loops were way too tight. Routed the female end through the side outlet and wound up the 100’ cord. Slapped the...
  15. EVSE in the bed?

    Heya fellas, I'm headed to see family for Thanksgiving (NC mountains where Helene has wreaked havoc) and they're cool with me hooking the Lightning up to the house and bumming some juice for a few days. At home I have a sweet fast charger setup since purchase, so I've never done much with...
  16. Oxford White Pro ER Build

    As a Lariat owner, I’m pretty jealous of those physical buttons on the instrumentation. NGL.
  17. Car scanner app works pretty good with CarPlay

    Nice! I haven't used it with CarPlay yet, but I have on just my phone. Solid app. I too use the Veepeak... Amazon.com: Veepeak OBDCheck BLE Bluetooth OBD II Scanner Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool for iOS & Android, Bluetooth 4.0 Car Check Engine Light Code Reader : Automotive Have one in the...
  18. The lightning is awesome, except the embarrassingly bad infotainment system.

    I'm sure it's awful, but I've spent less than 10 minutes ever looking at it. I get in, the iPhone connects, and before my seat belt is buckled I'm looking at Carplay.
  19. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    As an avid forum lurker, I feel it's my duty to weigh in on the now 8-page thread. :) This is my 3rd F150 and 5th vehicle in 30 years. As the son of a petrolhead and dealership employee, I've driven almost everything under the sun at one point or another and I can say that the Lightning is...
  20. Paint Protection?

    I have had full PPF (paint protective film) quoted. It is apparently THE way to go from a protection standpoint as it fully covers all paint and self heals with heat. Plus it can be replaced if damaged. Plus you can change the color of your truck! The problem for me is the $6500 price tag...
