  1. To repair or not repair

    I'm in the same situation. I've had the same error message multiple times over the past year, and each time it resolved itself. But I finally scheduled it in for service, and I need a new shifter also. My truck is drivable, and I haven't had a new error message while I've been waiting for the...
  2. First Road Trip!

    I had my first experience with a short road trip in my 2023 Lightning XLT SR truck today, and it went really well. I've been reading so many posts on this awesome forum, that I decided it was time for me to generate one of my own. My wife and I needed to travel from Omaha to Topeka KS today...
  3. Lightning retakes EV pickup sales crown from Cybertruck (for both March and Q1 2025)

    I had my 2023 Lighting SR XLT in the local service center for a charge door assembly replacement (warranty repair), and they gave me a brand new 2025 F150 XLT (ICE) as a loaner ($61k sticker price). This gave me the chance to do a head-to-head comparison between the Lightning and the same truck...
  4. Rock vs windshield

    I've used Safelite to repair small rock chips and small cracks in my windshields, and can confirm they do make it hard to spot the imperfections when done. However, I think they will refuse to do that repair if the chip/crack is directly in the line of sight for the driver. Hopefully I'm...
  5. 30,000 Mile service??

    Discount Tire here in Nebraska has always done free tire rotations and flat repairs (if a nail isn't too close to the sidewall). I do buy tires from them when I need them, but they are indifferent to where the tires came from when they rotate them for me.
  6. Battery Preconditioning.

    That's an interesting thought I hadn't considered! I know many people are a bit paranoid about charging to over 80%, but in the winter it definitely helps to go to 90% daily. I see your point, and that might easy my mind (and others' minds) to know they likely won't do any harm charging to 90%...
  7. 2024 Base Lariat Lease - Is this a good deal?

    I think leasing an eV is actually a relatively good idea in our rapidly changing environment. With the technology improving rapidly right now, and the enormous depreciation hit we all took when we bought our Lightning trucks, an argument can definitely be made that a lease will cap your losses...
  8. 2023 XLT or 2022 Lariat?

    I'm sure the low price is due to the Branded Title. Many people won't consider buying a vehicle with a Branded Title, and that drives the value down fairly significantly (due to decreased demand). That might mean that one is a great value for you, if you're not concerned about the repairs...
  9. ✅ Ford Resumes Shipping NACS Charging Adapters (February 2025 batch)

    My order now says I should expect delivery in January... Umm... Sure, I believe it... NOT! Ordered in June of 2024...
  10. IF you could do it all over... what would you buy?

    I'm very happy with my leftover '23 XLT SR that I purchased in May of 24 for around $47k with 60 months of 0% financing). It's been flawless for me, and I always enjoy the ride and practicality of it. I was torn between the SR and the ER at the time, and decided to save the money and get the...
  11. Cruise Control Keep Hands on Steering Wheel Warning constantly sounding

    I use a 2 lb wrist weight velcrowed to the 3:00 position on the steering wheel. It offers just enough resistance that the truck never squawks for me to jiggle the wheel. I can drive indefinitely without the wheel nag using this trick. Paradoxically, if I do hold onto the wheel with my hand, I...
  12. Winter is here! Heat pump comparison tests?

    My 2022 Tesla Model Y has a heat pump, and I can confirm it's VERY noisy at times when it's trying to cool the car down quickly. Driving the car, you can't hear it as much (though there is some vibration you can feel), but when you get out and the heat pump is still running it's obnoxiously...
  13. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    I got an insane deal in late May on my 2023 XLT SR. Sticker was $62,500, and after all discounts, rebates and tax credit I bought at around $47k. I had a 2021 Silverado to trade in, and somehow had a ton of equity ($18k) in that one that I rolled in to my Lightning deal. I took advantage of...
  14. A2Z Typhoon Pro NACS Adapter now available to order with forum discount code "FORD"

    I ordered the new A2Z PRO charge adapter on 8/11, and I just got notification that is has shipped (8/26), so 15 total days. It might take a while to get to Nebraska from Canada also. I won't need it for a while, but wanted to have it ready to go for trips this Fall. If/when I get my "free"...
  15. A2Zev Typhoon Pro delivered today ⚡️

    I ordered mine on August 11th, and was told it would take 7-10 business days to ship. Hope so! If/when I ever get my free Ford one, I'll just sell the A2Z or keep it as a backup.
  16. Location of Garage Door Opener?

    I don't believe my 2023 XLT SR has the garage openers, but I wish it did! Was it only on the Lariat?
  17. 😡Second owners won't get free NACS adapter if first owner requested it already and it hasn't shipped😡

    I'm still waiting for my adapter, but have little hope to see it any time in 2024. I just bought my Lightning at the end of May, and my adapter is showing an estimated delivery of October, but as backed up as things are that will surely slip. I agree that getting really upset over a $200...
  18. Lightning Tops List for Tesla Trade-ins

    I drive a 2022 Tesla Model S and my wife has a Tesla Model Y. I also had a 2021 Chevy Silverado ICE vehicle that I used for occasional hauling, and that's the vehicle I drive in the winter or when it's ugly outside. I discovered the huge Ford Lightning discounts, and the Tesla Conquest Rebate...
  19. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    I see the Lectron version of the adapter is now discounted to $199 with free shipping. Has anyone had good luck with that one? My Ford one is backordered until October, but I fear that might get pushed even further back since they haven't been shipping many lately...
