  1. Is tire rotation still necessary?

    Mine get rotated through the fact I swap winter / summer tires twice a year. ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ
  2. Spare tire and wheel question

    Having a full size spare is exactly one of the reasons I bought the Lightning. I’ve seen Flash trim models without the spare, but no idea they even decided to remove them from the Platinum trim as well! Crazy.
  3. How to clean between the cab and bed?

    An update for those following along at home… ā€œFlossingā€ the gap with a rope didn’t work. As it turns out, there are two lips or ledges back there; the first is easy to knock stuff off as it’s about 1/8ā€ deep, but there is a lower edge, flap, or something (maybe the top of the battery box?)...
  4. It Now Costs $145 to Fill Up a Ford F-150

    I love driving past gas stations when someone is refueling their enormous ICE truck… ā€œChug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lugā€¦ā€ šŸ˜‚
  5. How to clean between the cab and bed?

    I tried the leaf-blower and the exhaust from my shop-vac with the narrow nozzle, but the additional power from a compressor might be good… may also need a wand to reach down into the crevice! Thanks for the tip.
  6. How to clean between the cab and bed?

    Oh yeah, very regional, and doesn’t help that I have several large cedar trees around my driveway! šŸ˜‚ Here’s a view of what I’m describing… I don’t think fishing line would work, that’s too slick. Maybe some sisal / hemp rope to LITERALLY floss down there? lol
  7. How to clean between the cab and bed?

    Where do I find ā€œtruck flossā€ to get out all the cedar droppings and other crap that has accumulated in that gap between the cab and truck bed?! My regular hose on the ā€œjetā€ setting doesn’t seem to cut it. Any tips? Additionally, the ā€œfeltā€ (or whatever fuzzy fabric it is they’ve adhered in...
  8. General Public reactions to our trucks? {ā›”ļøNO POLITICS}

    Even better than people seeing one, is many... this was our Lightning Parade this morning (I had been the leader, but let them get ahead to snap a pic because it was so funny.) I love getting the looks when that happens, even from the other Lightning drivers!
  9. Ford CEO Jim Farley Totally Regrets Ford F150 Lightning Pickup

    Ford’s mistake was thinking they could take their existing truck-making knowledge and apply it to a BEV. An auto manufacturer with over 100 years of doing things one way can’t just shift gears (pun intended) and expect everything is the same with a different power train. Tesla had no...
  10. Alarm randomly went off

    I haven’t done anything yet, but will get the battery tested on my next visit to the dealership, and replace the 12V if necessary.
  11. Alarm randomly went off

    Mine does the same thing… (message), and also had the random alarm once in the middle of the night. You’d think with all the technology these trucks are packing it could just tell us what the problem was, or if it’s time to replace the battery.
  12. Blinking lights on the trailer when parked?

    They’re LED - and it’s very dim, so just enough voltage to cause it to blink.
  13. Blinking lights on the trailer when parked?

    I meant ground as reference to the 0v line.
  14. Blinking lights on the trailer when parked?

    It could be checking for the connection, but I’d think it’s possible to do that through continuity on the ground…?
  15. Blinking lights on the trailer when parked?

    Yeah, I figured that out after the fact! šŸ˜‚
  16. Blinking lights on the trailer when parked?

    I was doing ā€œtruck thingsā€ with my truck yesterday and rented a trailer to haul small landscaping equipment. Everything connected properly and the light check was good. I went out for a walk in the evening (the trailer had been left connected) and noticed the tail lights of the trailer would...
  17. Stranded in Seattle Without Fast Charger

    I had the same problem on my '22 - I wasn't charging at all on either AC or DC. Dealer thought they had it solved on the first visit (but didn't properly confirm the battery was actually receiving power), and subsequently took a couple of weeks to tear the truck apart and finally diagnosed the...
  18. Alarm System Going Off

    Mine did that in the middle of the night a week ago; no motion on my driveway camera, nothing on my dash cameras, just the alarm going off at 2am for no apparent reason. At least it’s not as frequent as yours.
  19. How to Increase Wireless Apple CarPlay Reliability?

    My ā€˜22 has been a crapshoot for CarPlay - sometimes the CarPlay connection fires up as fast as I’m able to press the OK button to return to sport mode, other times it will pop up 2-3 minutes into my drive, and on some I’ll even have the USB cable connected and my phone is recognized, but it...
  20. Trip and charge logging iPhone app for the Lightning

    Ooh, sounds cool! I’ll TestFlight beta for you.
