  1. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    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...
  2. EREVs Are Not The Answer, EREVs are a Niche Market.

    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. I mostly drive around the city doing family...
  3. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ā›”ļø ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Thanks for your continued support, Brian. I’ll 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 don’t...
  4. Would this be a warranty item worth fixing?

    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. ;)
  5. Price per KW to charge at homešŸ 

    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 (These are my rates in...
  6. Interesting Article On Current Guardrails Vs EVs

    Force = Mass x Acceleration From the article: "A Tesla Model 3 and Rivian R1T both tore through guardrails during controlled tests..." (highlights mine) 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...
  7. Drive mode options (normal, normal, normal or normal?!??)

    Glad I’m not the only one, but I’m not concerned; it’s only happened once before, and cleared itself after reopening the drive menu. I just thought I’d share the silliness. šŸ˜‰
  8. Drive mode options (normal, normal, normal or normal?!??)

    Henry Ford is known for saying ā€œAny color the customer wants, as long as it's black.ā€ I wonder if Jim Farley ever said ā€œAny drive mode the customer wants, as long as it’s normal,ā€ because this was my option the other day: šŸ˜‚
  9. Ford removing Public Charging app from Lightning!!

    Lightning drivers still use that? I think I used it once and just relied on my various CarPlay apps as they’re so much easier and more intuitive.
  10. Lightning vs. Kia collision - "Built Ford Tough"

    Ouch! What caused it to be so high? Frame damage?
  11. Lightning won't charge: fix post 24

    I had a similar issue; long story short, they replaced the entire charge port.
  12. October Forum Survey Results

    I didn’t see the original post announcing the survey or I would have taken it for sure. Maybe if it’s emailed along with the regular notifications that might help reach more members!
  13. "Vehicle in Battery Saver Mode" Please drive

    I got the ā€œBattery 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 scanner… So not sure why I got that message?
  14. The Joy of Rewarded Ignorance and How I Got a Free Year of Bluecruise

    I’m not sure how, but my BC renewal was $0, but my connected navigation was full price… needless to say, I let that one expire.
  15. Twin-Panel Moonroof , AKA: Panoramic Moonroof quick and easy rattle fix

    Mine sounds like it's rubbing... I may try the seal renewal as shown in the video, but with a more appropriate tool than a folding knife. lol
  16. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    Anyone who says it’s ā€œmore economical to run ICEā€ forgot one of the key reasons it’s better to drive EV; YOU’RE NOT POLLUTING. Think about this for just one second… every time you fill up an ICE F150 you’re putting roughly 30 gallons / 113 litres of liquid gasoline into the tank. And where does...
  17. Share the interior accessories that actually improved your drive

    I installed Spigen tempered glass screen protector on my infotainment display; it really helps reduce the glare when I’ve got the sun shade all the way open! I also absolutely love my Tuxmat floor mats — full custom fit coverage and no issues with wet feet.
  18. Truck accelerated from stop and rear ended car in front.

    I think regardless of the cause, we're all aware that what Carla posted legitimately happened and it's an emotional situation for which none of us should be assigning blame (not to suggest anyone has). I'm surprised the forward collision system didn't recognize that there was an object...
