  1. Just under 800 mile trip in California

    I've been out of shape at the start of weeklong rides before. By day 3, you're usually used to it. It's better to take the lowest gears that you can get on your bike if you're riding in the mountains whether you're in shape or not. I shoot for low 20s as expressed in gear inches, 4mph gets...
  2. Lightning as an actual truck from an ex Raptor owner

    I'd be interested in parsing this out further, all respect intended. Winning 9 class wins in Baja races is amazing. Of course you're never going to make this a full Baja racer, as to the casual observer, those bear very little resemblance to any factory F150s. But it would seem like many...
  3. Just under 800 mile trip in California

    Considering it's an organized bike ride, I would much rather ride my bike than take the truck. :D
  4. Windy road trip 40MPH Headwinds

    I was able to get 173 miles at 75MPH and arrive at the charger with 23% when I had a 20-25mph tailwind in the spring, and I have the small battery. I could have made the next charger and pushed it over 200 miles most likely. Efficiency was 2.3mi/kwh.
  5. The story of my 2022 Lightning Purchase and 900 mile road trip back home

    The Carlin T-Kit allows you to watch Netflix going down the road, or just standing still?
  6. BLUE CRUISE 1 YEAR EXTENSION FOR FREE IS BACK! CHECK YOUR FORD APP. DID MINE THIS MORNING

    I have a 2024 XLT, what is this "Blue Cruise" that you speak of? (jk my wife's Mach-E has it, but my truck does not)
  7. Missouri WANT TO BUY -- cable and CCS charging handle from Ford Charge Station Pro 80A

    The Ford Charge Pro is a J1772 handle, it is AC charging, not DC charging. Uses a 100amp AC breaker. [edit]apparently I'm wrong, I see the CCS1 pins on the charging connector. But why...this is an AC only charger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772 rated for up to 80A, but anyway.
  8. Short 553 mile weekend trip. Northern AZ to Tucson and back. This truck just keeps getting better.

    I guess I should have clarified that. I always, always, always drive the speed limit in neighborhoods. I've had kids run out in front of me before, not in this truck, but in the past. I had one particularly close call when I was young and delivering pizzas while I was going to college 30+...
  9. Tried and Liked - Amazon all weather mats

    I mean I appreciate you guys like the mats that you have but it's not really topical. The thread is not "what mats did you get" the thread is, "I got these particular ones and here is the information". The Amazon chinesium ones I linked to and put in my truck are significantly less expensive...
  10. Short 553 mile weekend trip. Northern AZ to Tucson and back. This truck just keeps getting better.

    Not me, I'm gonna romp on it when I want/need to romp on it. And sometimes when I don't. Playing the efficiency game is for long trips, of which we've only taken 1.
  11. Recall Campaign 24S76 / 25V341: Upper control arm ball joint nut replacement Issued 5/27/25

    I prefer the old method of castle nut and cotter pin, just personally speaking. Then you have a failsafe. But whatever, Ford. you do you.
  12. Hit 183kW today at 57% SOC - SR 2023

    I just don't DC fast charge often enough to see any potential differences from the software updates in my SR. But I saw over 170Kwh multiple times at Tesla Superchargers when we took our road trip on Spring Break. That was March and I haven't fast charged once since then.
  13. Tried and Liked - Amazon all weather mats

    I am on Amazon Vine and I check every day for things I can pick up for my truck that might be useful. Well last week these mats popped up so I ordered them: (Not an affiliate link btw)...
  14. Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants

    I would buy one at the right price. They are definitely a lot more maneuverable than the Lightning. I drove one previously and liked it a lot. It's weird looking, but there is something about the in-your-face styling that appeals to me. However, they haven't been even close to the right...
  15. Tow Report: Ford Lightning vs. 4500lbs of Raccoon-Covered History

    I had a buddy with a car like that in the late 80s early 90s. Had a 406 with camel humps and a 280ish cam, it would go pretty good. 3500 stall, 3.73s, IIRC.
  16. Add on trailer brake controller - possible for Lightning?

    I've been looking at travel trailers, gonna need one of these. How hard is it to DIY, now that we have the right part number?
  17. 🎇 Lightweight, portable, new J1772 charger by EG Evgoer! 🎉

    I think something like this would be more helpful for what you get with this charger, assuming you had a 12/3 to work with: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-20-Amp-2-Pole-Circuit-Breaker-HOM220CP-HOM220CP/202353326 that'll get you 240V at 20A....3.3kw charging with this unit.
  18. Kingman, AZ to Williams, AZ (pulling RV 🪫)

    Interesting, thanks. 45 in a 75 is pretty sketch, but, I understand.
  19. Installed Bilstein 6112 & Hellwig 7905 Sway Bar

    Interesting, they have lowering springs at that link also.
  20. Wanted: Paint matching handle covers for XLT that are REASONABLY PRICED

    I've been looking for some paint matching door handle covers for my 24 XLT but not finding anything reasonable. You can get chrome or gloss black for $20-$25, and I know the gloss black ones are painted. I've found tons of white ones for the trucks with the smart keys that have the two buttons...
