I’m very much a pro-sliding cover guy. I like them for the added security as I travel with some valuable equipment in my bed at times. I’ve got a Truck Covers USA sliding cover on my ICE F-150 and just ordered an Embark by Real Truck advantage through Ford for my Lightning. I got almost $500 off...

This is my first EV. I knew I wanted a Lightning as soon as it was announced. I bought it as a buffer for the rapid swings in fuel prices that we see here in California. I have no regrets and the only way I see myself going back to an ICE F-150 is if this truck is discontinued.

I’m Team Ford especially when it comes to trucks. I had a 2011 F-150 with the first generation Ecoboost that was totaled in an accident at 309k miles. The only thing I replaced were water pump and radiator at about 220k miles. I still own a 2013 F-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost and it has 365k miles...

I was happy to get this recall letter as my light bar went out 4 days before I got the letter. :)

I replaced mine when it failed at approximately 85k miles. I got another Motorcraft battery.

I bought a jug yesterday from my closest dealer but it was undiluted. Parts department said it would be fine since I’m just topping off the reservoir… not sure if I will use it or not.

Yeah, I gave up on this…:explode:

You’re who I pay attention to as far as updates. My truck seems to be within a few days of getting the update after yours. This update installs tonight on mine. :)

I received the walk away door lock update but it doesn’t work because of the BCM or whatever. I don’t really care about that one. At this point I would be grateful if I could at least get BC 1.2. :crackup:

I can only speak of my personal experience: I’ve seen the power available to the motors start dropping at 45% charge in about 45F degree weather. It hasn’t governed how fast I can go just the power available to the motors.

I drive my truck in Sport mode once the temperature goes above 95 here in Central California which alleviates overheating. I’ve had your scenario happen once while DC charging when it was 115. This was before I used Sport mode.

I need to read their other reviews to figure out how they got 345 miles on a single charge. :crackup:

Yep, I’m actually living this article. :crackup: My wife’s Lincoln has two open recalls with parts being available sometime this fall. These are on top of the 2 recalls which have already been resolved. It’s an annoyance but still prefer driving Fords over anything else. :)

My truck came with General Grabbers. I got 57k miles out them. I was very pleased as I wanted to get at least 50k out of them. I went with my “go to” tire: Michelin Defenders. I’ve noticed I’m getting .1-.2 kWh better mileage than with the grabbers.

You can add me to the “neither” category as well. Sorry, I don’t have the time to provide charging for someone else and I plan accordingly so I don’t run out of battery.

I also have the Ford mobile charger that came with my ‘22 and experience the exact same charging scenario. I think it’s the Ford charger as every time I notice the kWh drop to 3.7 the charger no longer has a solid blue light but half blue and half amber.

Updated today and now my front motor isn’t giving any power. I haven’t had problems with that in probably 30k miles…

My tags renew next month at $1,024. It’s due to the weight of the vehicle and being charged a flat rate for gas tax. I don’t mind as I drive 50k plus miles a year so California has lost a ton of gas tax revenue from me.

My nearest quick lane refuses to do anything to my Lightning. I’m told to go talk to the service department which the service department disputes that quick lane won’t work on them. Pretty sure I’m just given the runaround.

Might have been late but worth the wait! That’s really nice. Congratulations. :)
