When I first learned to drive an automatic, I was taught to use the parking brake so as not to have the weight of the vehicle on the parking pawl. In some older cars this made it easier to shift from park. When I learned to drive stick, it was pretty much a requirement (even though I also put it...
I have a 2022 ER Lariat.
I tow a small travel trailer⦠but not all the time.
I haul mountain bikes⦠but not all the time.
I load my truck with audio equipment for my work⦠but not all the time.
I drive 6 hours to visit family⦠but not all the time.

Thanks for your continued support, Brian.
Iāll just throw it out there that if, and when, it comes time to replace my Lightning, it will be with another full EV. I have zero interest in returning to gasoline, full stop. I road trip and haul a small travel trailer with my Lightning, and I donāt...
I have CDO (it's like OCD, but in the right order), and while that may bug me, I would feel the effort in trying to get it resolved would outweigh the aggravation of not having two parallel stitch lines. ;)
Also a BC Lightning owner here ... don't forget that BC Hydro has a peak / off-peak rate plan available (if you opt-in) where your rates can vary:
peak: 4-9pm @ $0.1908/kWh
off-peak: 9-11pm @ $0.1408/kWh
overnight: 11pm-7am @ $0.0908/kWh
off-peak: 7am-4pm @ $0.1408/kWh

A Tesla Model 3 has a curb weight of roughly 4000lbs.
The best selling sedan in 2025 is the Toyota Camry, about 3500lbs.
Your average 2025...
Glad Iām not the only one, but Iām not concerned; itās only happened once before, and cleared itself after reopening the drive menu. I just thought Iād share the silliness. š
Henry Ford is known for saying āAny color the customer wants, as long as it's black.ā
I wonder if Jim Farley ever said āAny drive mode the customer wants, as long as itās normal,ā because this was my option the other day:

I didnāt see the original post announcing the survey or I would have taken it for sure. Maybe if itās emailed along with the regular notifications that might help reach more members!
I got the āBattery Saver Modeā alert in my app this morning, but I drove my truck yesterday - the HVB is at 52% and the LVB was showing at 98% according to my OBD2 scannerā¦
So not sure why I got that message?
Anyone who says itās āmore economical to run ICEā forgot one of the key reasons itās better to drive EV; YOUāRE NOT POLLUTING.
Think about this for just one second⦠every time you fill up an ICE F150 youāre putting roughly 30 gallons / 113 litres of liquid gasoline into the tank. And where does...
I installed Spigen tempered glass screen protector on my infotainment display; it really helps reduce the glare when Iāve got the sun shade all the way open!
I also absolutely love my Tuxmat floor mats ā full custom fit coverage and no issues with wet feet.
