I bought my Lightning mostly site unseen (saw photos) and without a test drive, but that's easy to do now based on being able to ride in many other Fords already (and owning them). When it comes to car shopping I already expand my search to 1000 miles. My 2019 Ranger was bought in Texas and...

Success story here. Buy new bms for $28, charge battery to full, replace bms, do pedal dance thing and voila.

Yeah, I like the looks of the Sierra as well.. not the price tag though.

The ONLY reason I have a Ford Lightning is because the Rivian doesn’t have Carplay and on principal, I could not fathom giving $60k to a company that is so stupid as to not include something so basic and expected by consumers, especially in this price bracket. A district manager said that...

Fords: 96 econoline conversion van 03 expedition 2012 e450 class c motorhome 6.8L v10 2019 Ranger 23 Lightning I race cars so all of these needed to pull a trailer and allow me to be comfortable at the racetrack. Going from the van to the expedition is because I went from an open deck to an...

I pushed back on range too but many days are at that range, or close and an 80% charge is obviously less. Having to find and sit at a charger between stops is a no go.. even with a capitulation on range the other two factors remain.

The have these which are now discontinued: https://www.ford.com/trucks/transit-connect-passenger-van-wagon/2023/ The Transit Connect is the perfect vehicle for them but it is discontinued and EV if that would have been ideal. The current transit hits them in 3 places: Range (need more than...

I know multiple people that use transit vans for their businesses and ALL of them would swap them to E-transit tomorrow if they could. With this news there’s a gap that can be easily filled and these D2C EV companies like Tesla, Rivian, Scout should step in and fill this gap. The gap in the...

I have been setting a parking brake for 30 years. Not stopping now. I pull that little lever every time I park so I don’t have to worry about a pawl. I also park on a downward slope toward my garage so I don’t want any risk.

I jumped from a 2019 Ranger to another Ford (lightning) BECAUSE it didn't come with all the issues of Ford drivetrains and I don't have any interest in owning more Ford combustion engines. By the time it comes to replace the Lightning (or want something else) which is likely 5+ years from now...

Looks like a mistake on my part. Good to see Ram hasn’t ditched it.

That’s a lot of money for a Stellantis product that excludes Carplay. I like the concept as I do tow heavy loads and it would also be great with a slide in camper.

I will be dinged for: * Age of vehicle - because we have a 1.1% Regional Transit Authority tax (thanks voters!! /s) on the assessed value of the vehicle from the prior year (WA State dictates the stated value!). So if they say my Truck was worth 60k, I will pay $660 just in the RTA portion of...

I like the glide of my Lariat. Because of the weight distribution Front to Rear due to the batter and the rear ind. suspension - I drive my truck in a way sportier fashion than it has a right to be driving. My 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4 had a GARBAGE ride, I got sea sickness which makes sense...

Another way of saying it: "We're going to wait until the headwinds at the federal level are less dynamic and adversarial."

Either this or it’s omitted on iphone.

Not for me. On that a screen I have: Service Schedule with maintenance, service and alert (none of which show recalls). Below that is preferred dealer, then emergency services and then reference. None of which get me to recalls.

The previous version of the App had a place to show if any recalls were out on the truck but I cannot find anything regarding recalls in the app now. Was it removed or can someone tell me where to look (in the app).

Somebody named their truck after my IRL name so that feels sort of weird. Here’s mine,

I have a buddy that watches the propaganda stations (and the reinforcement algorithm) and totally buys into crap like that.
