Firmly in the EREV camp, 100% excited for this pivot.

Happy to hear your Lightning is fixed and Ford covered the bill.

When taken as an individual component independently, yes, same rating. But when you bolt it up to the front axle with a tire, Ford de-rates the amount of max loading as an assembly. See post #32

Thanks for this post. I was wondering why the discrepancy. Makes more sense.

What is different about charging a lead acid battery in a Lightning versus any other 12 volt lead acid equipped vehicle?

Great work on the fob soldering and integration into Home Assistant! I agree 100% with your sentiments about keeping control local, off the cloud, and no subscriptions. https://ratcloud.llc/ comes to mind, replaces MyQ for your garage door opener. Great project and happy you found a...

So I did some more digging on this and did some math shown in this box...

Looks fun! I have a tonneau cover with T-slot rails and a 3D printer... I like the old school large bulbs, reminds me of Xmas lights when I was a kid.

On a pure BEV forum, you are going to get a lot of no... Ask that question in two years from now and base your results on the sales volume of the Scout and/or Ramcharger versus the Lightning sales from the past few years.

As a follow up to this post and the link posted above about different F150 ICE and Lightning wheel ratings, I was wrong. It it a significant difference. I don't recommend doing what I did now that I spent the time to do the math: Lighting wheel weight rating: 2,475 ICE F150 wheel weight rating...

You asked earlier about what is different between our two trucks, here is a thread I created earlier about Job 1 vs Job 2 2025 Flash builds: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/2025-flash-job-1-vs-job-2-was-there-job-1-2025s.29766/

Yes. I sent you a message through the Forum system.

Ratings are ratings but do you ever plan for fully load your Lightning to the max payload and drive for a significant amount of time? You will probably never do exactly that. I sleep at night knowing my Lightning has lower rated wheels than Originals. I don't think I will ever put 50% of the...

Edit: Sold the Mongoose cable and shipped to the Netherlands.

Facebook marketplace. These are all take offs from new F-150s that get aftermarket wheels before leaving dealer or private seller getting rid of OEM after buying aftermarket. Top end is $1300+ and low end is sub $1000. eBay and other places have them too but FB marketplace is large majority of...

How's the Caddy's this holiday season? Your going to get lots of it's illegal to do that responses I bet. But I am here for the Xmas cheer. Let's do it.

They are Ford OEM 2024 F-150 wheels and tires, the exact same as your picture. Wheels and tires. I like the Goodyear tires pictured. They are all terrain tires but very quiet on the highway. I noticed no loss of MPG on my ICE F150 with them or loss of efficiency with my Lightning. Your mileage...

I think so. My logic is that wheel and tire combo was spec together as Ford OEM from the factory. So I think it's safe to assume the wheel rating would support the tire rating.

In addition to the wheels rating, you need to consider the tire rating as well. The tires you posted in the first post are 116T rated. Your door card will have the required tire info. Here is a picture from my 25' Flash. My truck requires at least 115T, so the 116T tires pictured above, same...

My 2025 Flash with the exact same wheels. Those are off a 24 or a 25 F150. They're a direct fit. No issues on my truck. I had the same set of wheels and tires on an ice F-150 prior to my Lightning and really like them in that application as well. Good in the winter and no road noise.
