2025 Lariat. My WAL works like a charm. I walk away and when I’m roughly 25 feet away, the park/brake lights flash, mirrors fold and my phone gets a notification the vibrates my Garmin watch. My watch simply says, Your Ford vehicle has locked using the walk away lock feature, or something like...

I have done this before... years ago. I vividly remember, when someone hit the panic button on the fob, one vehicle responded and the other didn't. So I pressed the panic button again and guess what, one shut off and the other one started up! It took a minute but I got it under control. 😂 It...

I started to have multiple issues with PAAK and my iPhone (running iOS 26.2). The issues began when I turned on the Always-On Display feature on the iPhone. iPhone turns the display off when the phone is in my pocket to conserve the phone battery and somehow, the Lightning doesn't detect the...

No! LOL. I bought it and transported it to my vaca house. It fit so neatly in there that I had to take a picture of it. I thought it looked cool in there. It's well used now!

I love my frunk. My Ego mower fit securely in there! What a combo! 😀

Yes, losing the frunk would be a deal breaker but I wonder where else they have to package an engine/generator combo?? And yes, if I can let it run out of gas and just use the EV, it'll work for me. I just hate the fact of buying more (like two powertrains) than I need.

I was satisfied with my Lightning range although it gets dicey in Michigan winters. As for EREV, I’m curious to see how it’s executed. Can I just let it run out of gas and drive it like an EV? Maybe fill it with gas when I’m expecting a long trip?? I haven’t researched enough to really know...

Call me stupid. I also love my Lightning, so much that I ordered a replacement for my 2025 Lariat. I really don’t know if it’ll be built; wait and see for now. I’m also disappointed at the EREV strategy for F150 but I won’t turn my back on an iconic brand that has delivered for me and my family...

I did an indoor installation with rear entry. Because it was in an unfinished garage, I could run the 2ga wire up from the bottom, it made a u-turn behind the charger and then down into the charger at the 45-degree angle. I didn't need anything waterproof so I used a standard 1" electrical...

UPDATE: Today, the Stop Charge option returned on my phone. Strange 🤔

I can offer anecdotal evidence only. My daughter drives a Mach-E and she has used the Ford Mobile Charger exclusively when home with no issues for the past 2 years. My son drives a Mach-E (his second one) and he had a "buggy" experience with the Ford Travel Charger at home so he bought an...

iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 26.1 (latest).

Mine no longer looks that way. It used to 😕

You are not imagining it. Something is definitely different with the latest update. I used to be able to walk up while level 2 AC charging at home, pull up the app and hit "stop charging." The ability to do that is gone for some reason so (uncomfortably) I just pull the plug. Made me cringe.

I let my Lightning drain all the way to 10-15% and time it so I'm home when it reaches the low state. Then charge it all the way to 90% unless I'm planning a trip north. If northbound, I charge it to 100% so I'm not white knuckles when I arrive at the cottage. I'll then repeat the strategy -...

Thanks Brian. Pretty sure it has to do with the bootup sequence of the AIPM and other modules. The tinny speaker in the IP is likely an FMVSS requirement as a backup in case the premium sound fails. We really appreciate your (Ford's) involvement in this forum.

I believe this is a Ford "quirk." I've had it happen to me in several Ford vehicles dating back to my 2015 Mustang, several Raptors, my wife's past Explorer, her present Bronco Sport and for sure I've had it many times in my 2025 Lightning. It's happened to me mostly when I turn off the...

Many (many) years ago, I was an automotive engineer in Climate Control. When it was warm out and the AC compressor was running, recirc would stay on as long as the customer wanted recirc. However, if the compressor was off, regardless of temp, the recirc would automatically revert back to...

I have cameras in my main house garage and lake house garage. When my Lightning is charging (or my daughter's Mach E or my son's new or old Mach E), it makes that glittery light show from the dash that only my cameras can see. It stops when the charging is complete. I don't know what it is...

I had 5 Raptors and they were always getting around 15-17 mpg. I drove them a little rough 😮
