  1. NEMA 6-20 (220V 20 amp) charging solution?

    That’s all I use for over 90% of my charging is a 16 amp 240 it easily meets all of my needs. It charges at 3.6 kW about three times faster than what you have now.. you can buy a really nice Schumacher on eBay for about 60 bucks brand new it also doubles as a 120. It has a much longer cord than...
  2. 12V battery replacement poll

    Mines on its 3rd battery I’m pretty sure . I will replace when it fails I’ll still be under 3/36 most likely
  3. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    If your lightning is 3 yrs old and your in a northern state it is possible that you need to service your brakes . Next time you stop after driving a while do a walk around and feel the hubs temp all 4 . It doesn’t matter what they as much as your looking for one that’s a lot warmer than the...
  4. A/C Fan (in chair) replacement, Frunk issues and warrenty questions

    Just get it in so they verify your under 3/36k , and they can go through it and order parts . they should cover everything except for tires and brakes so I would think you’d be fully covered unless it was neglecte or abuse that caused your problem.if you waited you d haves deductible at best...
  5. First Time EV Owner - New Emporia Classic at 48A. Is this too hot?

    This why it’s always best to tie it down from the max rated output your paying to heat your breaker and wiring … that would be safer and more efficient at 32 or 40 amps . Everything will last longer too. Less is more . A so think it’s all normal your running the max allowable amperage thru it...
  6. Looking to purchase a camper Shell for my 2023 Lightning Lariat

    I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I think it’s just got very low rear payload because the truck has a near perfect 50-50 weight distribution or a normal gas truck has most of its weight in the front end so while the lightning has a lot of payload a lot of that payload is in the...
  7. 2026 F-150 Lightning Order Banks are Open

    Should be pretty clear by now Ford is not gonna update this thing going forward. I don’t think they care they’re losing so much money on these things. Why would they wanna make them better at an even higher cost, until there’s another Democrat in office at least , Ford is going back to what...
  8. Trying to add a trailer brake controller 2025 f150 lightning

    Did you rename the new module with the numbers from the old one ? I know of the computer sees a different number you get the alert . I would Try renaming the new module w the old one’s numbers
  9. 2025 Lariat Rotary Shifter “service required” After Install

    By any chance did you forget to plug back in the wires for the dead battery for thekeyless start system?
  10. Body differences between EV and ICE

    Those lines add friction to the airflow over the vehicle . ford went to great lengths to keep the truck as areodynamic possible , it’s that simple . Same reason the front end is slightly lower.
  11. Would you tow this?

    I would pull it ! Your platinum has maxtow as standard equipment . Just make sure your weight distribution hitch is setup correctly it’s very easy to overload the drive axle .
  12. What to do with spare ER batteries - Buy the matching truck?

    The Nissan leaf isn’t a very good example and those batteries were primitive small and air cooled so overheating and lack of thermal management lead to very short battery life , this will not be the case with the lightning at all. There sore demand will be a lot lower for lightning batteries .
  13. Pro Power Onboard Turns Itself _ON_?!?

    My 22 Lariat SRs 9.6 is always on too, I turned it off again yesterday it keep turning itself on . And then if I run the battery down past 40% it sends me a warning saying it’s gonna disable pro power on board.. no codes in mine either I’ve had mine since December it’s been doing it as long as I...
  14. Phone as a key update required

    My phone as key hasn't worked in about 3 weeks now, but I never got a notification to update it. I wonder if this is why. It has been flawless since I got the truck til 3 weeks ago and I’ve been carrying one of my fobs since.
  15. Upgrade just for the bigger battery?

    I tend to agree with this , it’s only a pop up camper it should add too much drag behind you . Give it a shot , since the vehicle works well for everything else you do , and you only have. 11 l on it your taking a bath on it and right now the dealers aren’t giving the discount they were just a...
  16. Lightning sales down 42 percent in May

    From what I heard Farley say it sounds like this is the last lightning . New ones postponed for now so they don’t have to say canceled yet. He’s come right out and said these large full size vehicles simply have too high of an electrical demand for them to be practical . I kind of agree . These...
  17. Great information regarding using a NEMA 6-50 for charging

    Dude read his post , he states the maximum his ford travel charger provides . Which is 30amps. His setup is 100 percent legit and legal . Your off on a tangent about his 15 super duty and other useless info .
  18. PSA: Check under your door sill trim if you live in the rust belt!!

    That’s a known issue w F150 and especially super duty plow trucks . They have a goood amount of wiring harness issues there usually not long after the bumper to bumper warranty expires on heavily used trucks .
  19. Max Tow brake components for a LIGHTNING are the same as non-Max Tow

    Ford will not let you hurt the battery it will reduce power as needed slowing you down to maintain safe battery temps . So it really doesn’t matter to most people on cooler areas , the truck protects itself , the extra cooling all seems to go thru the same size condenser anyway . That’s where...
