I doubt they will do anything for that issue since my VIN is not tagged with any recalls. I just checked the NHTSA site again and my VIN is clean.

Yep it's true what they said above ^^^. And just to confirm, I put 1.5" wheel spacers on my truck with factory wheels and factory tires and all 4 tires stuck out past the wheel arches. This would be the equivalent of a +8 offset, and it makes everything stick out like a skateboard. So I ended...

In my case I had just started the truck in the Home Depot parking lot, drove about 500 feet at 10 MPH, and then stopped at a stop sign. As I then turned right onto the street this happened. It had nothing to do with cruise control whatsoever in my situation. After clearing the codes, I had...

Nope I have not had that recall yet. So I decided out of curiosity to look through the codes and just see what's in here. There are actually over a half dozen codes stored in this thing. One of them is for coolant heater internal control module performance. Another one is for control pilot...

OMG I'm an idiot. I just remembered that I have ForScan. I can hook that up tomorrow and at least see what the fault is for. Only thing I noticed driving the truck tonight is that once as I was pulling out of Home Depot onto the main street the truck accelerated without my input and I had to...

Well I made it a little over 4,400 miles before getting a problem with this truck but I have checked the negative battery cables and they are tight and the truck otherwise drives pretty good so I'm guessing I'll have to just go to the dealership and get it scanned when I have time this week. Sigh...

Glad you're OK! The shear number of Lightning trucks I've seen crashed online and in social media owner groups has been staggering. I don't know what's going on, but it's a little concerning.

I suppose it depends on the specific area you drive in. For me, here on these windy, hilly, dangerous one lane rural roads, I'm extremely thankful for Slippery Mode!

Yes, Ford truck windshields have been like this for MANY years. Junk. They all have pits and marks in them after driving on the highway for a few months. I've also seen some that look wavy, like a circus mirror that distorts clarity of vision. I don't know why they are so bad because I...

I have mine set to 95%. But as mentioned above, Ford already preserves the battery pack by not allowing 100% of the total capacity to be used. So I don't think charging to 100% in the menu settings should be all that detrimental to the life of the pack.

Hard roll-up is the best. Allows FULL use of the bed, or covering any amount of the bed, or covering all of the bed without removing anything. Also is fairly secure. Hard tri-fold is my second favorite. The sliding ones are expensive, take up valuable bed space, and sometimes the track...

The 3" seatbelt extenders are some of the best things I've ever bought for my modern trucks. Simply plugging one into the latch allows me to still use my seatbelt normally when I'm on public roads, but also defeats the seatbelt chime, automatic park if the door is ajar, warnings on the screen...

Leased mine too. The $7,500 was shown as a discount on the paperwork, plus the dealer chipped in another $1,000. Brought the sale price down much closer to the residual value and lead to really low monthly payments. It's the sole reason I am in a Lightning today, because I did not show up at...

100% true. So this still is not a possibility? I do not drive the truck every day, and when I do I don't leave the house at the same time every day. Would be nice to be able to set a timer on a nightly basis for when I expect to have to leave the next morning. Or maybe even a button to hit...

Got a message on my gauge cluster tonight that I hadn't seen yet. It said "Outside temperature is low. Plug truck in when not in use." This happened at 26°F. It's not even winter yet....

I have always said that the more efficient a truck is, the more sensitive it is to change. And boy you can really see it on these Lightnings. Losing half your range just because of a change of seasons? Ouch. I lose a hand calculated 75% of my range when I hook on my enclosed trailer. Ouch...

$0.13 here, which sadly would be a lot lower if not for the fuel surcharges and environmental fees that hit us hard during the previous administration. The people saying they pay $0.00 because they have solar systems should put a little bit of context into that claim. Solar systems aren't...

Respectfully, what you're saying makes zero sense. EVERY single time a reporter asks someone why they are hesitant to try an EV, the #1 answer is range anxiety. #2 is charge speed. Now, in the world of TRUCKS this is compounded, because people who buy trucks intend to haul, tow, and recreate...

Well if that's the attitude Ford Motor Company shares, their electric truck will forever be <5% of their full size truck sales.

Yes, these are amazing trucks. I've had so many trucks it's pathetic. This one is probably the best overall truck I've ever had. Now, imagine if they can figure out how to get 450 miles of unloaded range and 200 miles of towing range out of these. And put chargers in more places. And design...
