  1. Bought a travel trailer for my Lightning

    I have found that looking at wind direction projections for my trailer trips helps a lot. “Windy” is a good app showing directional and velocity data. I’ve made trips with a tail wind in both directions. VERY helpful. Wind is THE trailering handicap. Aerodynamics too, but you’ve chosen your...
  2. Truck and app are not communicating

    My iPhone 15 pro and ‘23 ER Lariat don’t communicate about 25% of the time. Almost always when I’m trying to listen to something important but all I can get is iPhone speakers. And, yes, this same pairing fails about 25% of the time just trying to use my phone to lock, cabin climate prep, or...
  3. Edmunds 3 year Lightning review

    Just went over 80,000 miles on my April ‘23 (2023 model) Lariat ER. Maybe 1/2 of my miles are towing. No rattles.
  4. Ford Lightning one pedal drive

    75,000 miles on my ‘23 Lariat ER pulling a bunch of trailers. All my driving is one pedal. Love it. I think I’m smarter than the truck when it comes to anticipating what’s ahead. Otherwise I think it’s tuning is perfect for me.
  5. Tail Gate Automatically Closing. Ford Tech

    I know how to turn it to manual. I’d rather it worked like it is supposed to.
  6. Tail Gate Automatically Closing. Ford Tech

    It’s happened several times with my ‘23 Lariat 73k miles. But, I admit I’ll have to see it again - with no possibility of fob activation.
  7. New OTA Update Improves F-150 Lightning DC Fast Charging Times

    72,000 mostly DCFC miles and maybe 1/3 pulling a trailer. I saw 194 kW recently but since mid Jan have noticed the improvement. All my trips are 900-1,200 miles one way usually CA tip to tip. A dozen trips to Salmon, ID. One RT L.A. to Boston to bring back a boat.
  8. FOOLING MY TOWING GUESS-O-METER

    1.0 m/kWh @45-55mph & strong headwinds and rain. I’ll take it. Tows like a dream so it’s easier to deal with 85 miles between 30 minute charges.
  9. FOOLING MY TOWING GUESS-O-METER

    I’m towing a 3,100 lb e(empty) dump trailer with a ‘68 Jeep in it 950 miles right now N to S CA And…
  10. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    Heading Vegas area for a week tomorrow. Always hypermiling - not 70-75. Have built a round styrofoam full nose cone and that didn’t help. Moving to tail wind management next. Weight might be an issue in two weeks when I put a jeep in a 14k (capacity) dump trailer and tow it from OR to Borrego...
  11. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    I have 70k miles living out of my ‘23 ER Lariat here in Borrego Springs for now. Unfortunately I pull a 6.5x6.5x12’ v/nose cargo trailer to live in. 1.0 m/kWh from about 2.1 without. Would love to trade notes sometime.
  12. Good Ford Dealer for EV Service in Kansas City area

    If you find a Ford dealer with even decent EV service, let me know. None in CA that I have experienced. None in Southern Oregon either. Bought mine in Los Angeles. By far, the worst treatment I have received just trying to keep the warranty happy. I can’t get 10k mile services. I’ve been unable...
  13. ✅ Ford Resumes Shipping NACS Charging Adapters (February 2025 batch)

    Samesies. March 2 ordered. No word from Frod. 65,000 miles since April ‘23. Regular, long, and horrible trips relying on EA. Next one starts the 15th. I pull a trailer and get 1 m/kWh. So I try to get 80 or so miles between 30 minute charges. It takes 28 hours to travel what always took 14...
  14. ✅ Ford Resumes Shipping NACS Charging Adapters (February 2025 batch)

    Ordered March 02. Have been told mine would ship ‘this month’ three (?) months in a Fg row. I’ve done twenty! 2,500! Mile trips since April ‘23. One trip from L.A. to Boston, MA, to bring a boat back to L.A. Being told I’ll get my adapter is just acid on a wound.
  15. 📲 Introducing the F-150 Lightning Forum App for iOS (iPhone / iPad)

    Bought my Lariat April ‘23. Signed up for adapter ¿March? ‘24. Nothing.
