I thought the larger wheel / smaller sidewall give better mpg kw/hr than smaller rim larger tire combinations. As YouTube talking heads said, the angular momentum of larger and heavier tires reduces mpg, especially on highways. I suspect the additional flexing of the large sidewall also makes...

Do you have your fob? When I used my phone as a key without the fob I got limited to 80 mph on the highway. I don't drive it hard so I don't know if it limited my acceleration. I finally found a setting in the big menu that let me turn off child proofing the car and that fixed the 80 mph...

Thanks. I always thought Climate was just for heating the interior, not pre-conditioning the battery. I am more interested in pre-conditioning the battery as it extends range nicely. Also, never thought of it as a remote start... Ford should learn from Trump - language does make a...

Where is the remote start function in the App? Is it not available for a 2023 Lariat? I don't see it in the app and being retired, I leave at various odd times. Having to set a day/time for each departure to warm up the battery is a PIA. I want a "Prep for Departure soon" button.

I'd love to hear from Lightning owners what their new tire experience / feelings are. I'm looking for good range for long trips, ruggedness for trails and snow, low noise for 75-80 mph on the highway. I don't care what they look like. And what is wrong with the OEM tire brand / model as a...

Thanks for the thought. Old age, weak back, weak mind so I forgot basics. I thought it was pretty heavy and the trailer did not sway, at least at low speeds. But next time I haul logs I think I will put a jack under the tongue to raise it and make sure it's a lot heavier than I want to lift...

Yup, that worked. I thought the truck would recognize that there was no trailer and change settings since it shoed me a messages that the trailer was not attached... Duh.

I created a separate surging thread since this seems focused on heavy towing while I experienced surging while towing a very light trailer. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/surging-towing-light-trailer.29765/

I experienced surging (back and forth pulsing) in my 2023 Lightning Lariat ER while towed a Harbor Freight 1750 lb rated trailer with two 10 Ft logs about 0-12 inches in diameter when going up 2-3 degree hills. I estimate each log was about 300+ lbs. so total loaded trailer weight was likely...

Did you stay on dry sand or on "moist" sand? Did you wash off the underside after wards? Please keep us posted on the condition of the underside over time (rust, bearings.) I've noticed my m/k has also been going up a little on highway trips and particularly on local road trips. Yesterday I...

Great to see the charger network growing there, but they need to spread them out a bit along the island. I wonder when WMT will get chargers.

The video link is not working for me. So, why do you need this? I thought Tesla cars came with a CCS1 to NACS adapter or you can get them from Tesla. Why is this special for the Ford Charger Pro?

Dash mount is nice, but I found these videos and Etsy link for console mounting the rotary shifter that seems a bit easier - no harness extension. 2021-2024 F150 / F150 Lightning ( EV / ICE ) Center Console Trim Removal and Disassembly (22) Replacing The Stupid F150 Lightning Shifter With A...

I wonder if anything you put in will not rub against the paint... unless you put double sided tape and stick it to both the cab and the bed. The part in between would need to be flexible. I'm thinking maybe cut a strip from a very heavy tarp and add tape at each long edge. Of course removing...

Getting the front sensors update at the dealer reset several settings including speed limit automation and radio settings. Fairly often during 2024 over the air software updates my radio settings got reset, and sometimes other settings. seems to be a little better recently but software quality...

I wonder if this 110 to 50 amp adapter on Amazon would actually work. Much cheaper than the official dongle in eBay...

I went with a Lear quad fold. It still takes some space at the head of the bed but the bed camera can see over it. Some Trifolds I looked at blocked the camera. I DO NOT carry straw. BTW, the little lever to release the supports that hold the cover open vertically broke. I have to use a...

Purchased April 29, 2023. Ordered a couple weeks later. Target date (you have to keep checking the web site for adapter tracking: https://www.ford.com/myaccount/connected-services?vin= ...insert your vin... &keyName=chargeradapterstatus#/Subscriptions.ChargerAdapterStatus) was October, then...

Mine also starts toasty on Pre-departure heating, then drops off... I wonder if it is tied to the cabin temp setting - I keep mine at 65. Something to experiment with next time I go for a short trip. I agree, there should be a steering wheel temp setting you can change.

I have over a dozen charging apps on my phone but ChargeFinder, PlugShare, and A Better Route Planner help the most. Before a trip, I usually check an area and route using ChargeFinder which shows stations from many providers and many levels. I then open likely locations to find charge rate and...
