Higher velocity charging would slash large, semi-truck scale battery charge times and make the BEV highway trucking sector more practical/ doable. For commercial shippers, time is money.

Suggest you check a thread called "Third light canopy brake light wiring" to see the Ford recommended method of connecting the 3rd brake/ running light to a dongle above the drivers' side front wheel. Since ProPower has a steady 50w draw minimum to stay on (I think that's the number, no less)...

If leaving the Ford level 1 charger plugged in, and if there is any concern about theft, then elsewhere in this forum there is a thread on exactly the topic of secure level 1 charging by leaving the charger inside the frunk and running the leads through the frunk's 12v battery port (at the...

I would add to this thread, for anyone interested in Solar and the related components - storage batteries, inverters, chargers, etc., the Inflation Reduction Act provided tax advantages that have been made available for these were recently undone/ terminated, and are all set to sunset at the end...

Thanks boandabby for the reference to the Eco-Worthy 52v charger sale! Been eyeing this charger as a far less expensive alternate to the (higher capacity but far more costly) EG4 ChargeVerter and thanks to your reference, just pulled the trigger on the Eco-Worthy. Sadly am not a pro...

Used mine for the OEM Ford NACS adapter. Looking into the splash guards, nice call.

Much of the time, the (legal transmission) tints I had installed on my previous truck, Tundra, looked great and were quite functional in my overly sunny and hot part of the country. But only during the day. At night, the rear view mirrors were badly obscured through the tinted windows...

Thanks to this thread am going to explore the cable pass through route at the wheel well as shown in pic, to see if the path is conveniently accessible. (Was totally unaware of such a possibility.). If it is, will begin carrying a 12 gauge extension cable and piece of rolled up rubber mat to...

This union worker (and recent to the forum member) will have to respectfully take exception to this statement. We union members have an ever increasing amount of skin in the game, with accumulating health insurance and retirement benefits, and the longer we are in, the more we value that...

Suggest watching YouTube videos about using the EG4 Charge-verter to route output from the 240v Pro-Power port into the home. This requires a smart all in one inverter, some 48v batteries, and a house input through a transfer switch, or to the main panel with a panel lock out. (This is to...

The Ford service representative at the the drop off point of Dealership service said to me they had "checked, tightened and torqued the nuts". "No new parts necessary", he said. Maybe accurate as to exactly what they did, maybe not. Maybe accurate as to the dictum of the recall, which may...

Hopping in here at this late date to share, as I'm about to have a SmartCap installed. (Just found this thread.) Met the SmartCap Rep yesterday at the retail facility where it will be coming from. (The retailer himself has a SmartCap on his Silverado, which is reassuring, and so also was...

Does anyone have a link to the above mentioned ARE instructions for 3rd brake light on Lightning? (Trying to find.) Aim to provide a link that RSI Smartcap dealer can follow to install. They have not done this before. (Which is a bit scary....)

So far, not really noticing anything different about the ride.

Got the Safety Recall Notice in the mail last week, made a service appointment, took the 2024 Flash to the dealership yesterday 6/17/25. Was there roughly 3 hours (unsure of the status) while they inspected and reportedly tightened the nuts. No additional parts needed. Was told I was done...

As for the sunroof leak issue: I cannot speak directly to the Lightning, but I have experienced this leakage with a different vehicle, and I have changed out the entire assembly myself, so I've seen the guts. I presume they all mostly work the same. There is a rectangular reservoir for water...

If the dealership you bought this from knew this was a Ford buyback, legally a lemon, and did not disclose this information, one might expect they are subject to legal consequences. (Ford may be simultaneously writing this vehicle off as a total loss elsewhere.) That is about as dishonest...

Somebody mentioned the GM mid gate. I do salivate over the possibilities of that. But, alas, along with the other compromises that have to be made for the monster battery, the mid-gate is only available on very top level trims, not across the EV truck lineup. Only on the tiers that come in...

Just brought home a new Lightning Flash. Chosen over higher Lightning trim levels and over the GM competition. Here was my process/ reason for the choice of Flash: For a full size truck that functions as a truck, Rivian and CT are out. Rivian bed too small. Tesla out regardless due to...

Hi, I think my pics pretty much repeat the results of the first poster on P1, Evlar77. I added similar angles, plus a couple closer, to highlight that the stitching deliberately matches/ echoes the native decor. In early use, am finding they remain in place and do not slide around on my Flash...
