  1. I put solar panels on my tonneau cover!

    What do you have invested in this project? Interesting.
  2. "EVs require less maintenance" … oh really … : )

    Results are hard to argue with. Thank You for sharing that. Not many have that history to reference.
  3. F-150 Lightning | Trash Dumpster Mod

    For several decades in a service truck / SUV, I'd find just the right size trash can and have it behind the passenger seat. I simple reach from the drivers seat did the trick even while driving, and I got in the habbit of emptying it each fuel stop as it was on the same side as the filler...
  4. Phone As A Key VERY Unreliable!

    Our 25 Lariot Trim does the same annoying thing, delays including releasing of the tailgate and start-up. Samsung S24 Ultra in use here. The wife's iPhone 16 ProMax does same thing.
  5. Thoughts from First Lightning Road Trip

    Very nice! Will use. Thank you
  6. Caravan Road Trip: Mach-E & Lightning from Northern AZ to LA

    Does the Lightning have a bed / tonneau cover? (Always an interesting topic if they help efficiency or not).
  7. In the event of a battery fire, what is the fastest, easiest way to drag the truck out of the garage?

    We have 2 EVs in our garage, and sleep just fine. A quick search shows EVs less likely to catch fire than ICE. Charging at night in a garage could potentially be as much or more risk than a rouge thermal runaway on the main battery. The search pointed out that after any collision damage it...
  8. Good news - More Rivian chargers opened up to non-Rivian vehicles

    New to EVs. Have the Lightning and a Tesla 3. Also notice your call sign. W8VFR here :) Always glad to hear more charging network available. So you have photos of the ham rig in your Lightning?
  9. Finding power behind coin holder?

    Very nice! How about an adaptor that terminates in a ball mount, such as use by Garmin and other Qi wireless chargers? Thanks for the detail on the trim piece.
  10. Finding power behind coin holder?

    Curious how to get that coin holder off? I have a 25 Lariot Trim. I tugged on it moderately, but no joy.
  11. 2025 Lariat Trim rear drivers side top seat fold down

    I like it! Simple and straight forward.
  12. First Mod: Rear Seat Release by Builtright Industries

    Yep that's the trick!
  13. 2025 Lariat Trim rear drivers side top seat fold down

    At least on the 25 Lariot Trim, the pin just pushed downward. Your actual "gas mileage" may vary depending on perhaps trim package.
  14. 2025 Lariat Trim rear drivers side top seat fold down

    My first post, and hope this isn't duplicated. I needed access behind the drivers side rear seat for a ham radio install. Once you raise the bottom seat up, the top part of the seat moves away from the rear cab. Because of this movement,you can then see the latch located about 10 inches from...
  15. What power source in Lightning is best for fridge?) .

    Assuming you are asking about efficiency, that would depend how (where) Ford is extracting the energy to provide the DC power VS the AC that comes from the inverter. My guess would be the 12v dc is from the AGM lead acid battery. If so, I'd suggest using the inverter.
  16. I converted my Lightning from AWD to a 4x4

    Yes, it looks nearly black at times. Thanks for clarifying that.
  17. Lightning review from a Tesla owner

    Our lightning is a Lariot Trim, and the Model 3 is well, a model 3 :-) it does have the AWD Dual Motor option. I agree that Ford made it as much as possible a typical F150. We went with the Lariot Trim as we have an F350 with same Trim and really liked that power rear center window. It's great...
  18. I converted my Lightning from AWD to a 4x4

    I didn't realize the difference between A/T and M/T tires. Thanks for the note. Ahhh, what was that color name of your truck.?
  19. Lightning review from a Tesla owner

    Brand new to EV vehicles. We have a 2025 refreshed model 3, and the entire experience in the Tesla is a notch above the 2025 F150 L Ford. Attention to detail, and layout are most noticeable. Two very different types of vehicle with different approaches to customer interface. Both are quite...
  20. I converted my Lightning from AWD to a 4x4

    Like that color blue. What is the name of it? A/T tires are a must for a truck.
