  1. F150 Lightning Lariat Tire Pressure

    @boydboyer Yes, you can add "regular"air to your tires. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tire-buying-maintenance/should-you-use-nitrogen-in-car-tires-a6260003694/ Open your drivers door and look for a sticker on the pillar between the front drivers side door and the door behind it. It will...
  2. Lightning production plant being paused due to aluminum plant fire 😕

    Here's an article that says Lightning production is over, not paused. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-end-production-failed-f-141523184.html
  3. J1772 extension cord

    Here's the one I've been using https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4JN5BR8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 The first one I bought wouldn't connect to the truck and should be avoided. Do not buy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJ3MXRP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
  4. First time charging at Tesla V4 Supercharger

    I tried to charge at my local Tesla Superchargers today. However, due to the chargers cord length and the layout of the chargers I only had two unacceptable options. I could use one charger and block the entrance to the parking lot, or I could use another one and block two other chargers...
  5. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    @flyct My only guess is I'm starting at a higher SOC so the GOM doesn't calculate the same.
  6. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    Did you use the Ford Pass app to locate them? According to the app there's a Tesla Supercharger I can use not far from my house, but I haven't tried it yet.
  7. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    As part of the "Power Promise", Ford set me up with an Emporia Classic Level 2 charger on a 60A two pole breaker. It operates at 48A and adds about 33 miles per hour to the truck.
  8. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    I lived on the travel charger for about a month. Fortunately I also had access to a 240v drier socket and could add around 15 miles per hour to the truck.
  9. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    @Rayden , Thanks for the info. This definitely a "cybertruck" area. I've only seen one other Lightning in Destin besides mine. I have the NACS adapter and will try it out on a tesla supercharger before hitting the road. After using ABRP, as recommended by @RickLightning , I can see there are...

    Thank you.
  11. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    I'm curious if there are any recommendations on DC fast chargers to use or avoid between Montgomery AL and Birmingham AL? Or should I load the Tesla app on my phone and use their superchargers with the adapter Ford included with my truck?
  12. Service vehicle soon - Failure Coolant Valve Not covered by powertrain warranty?

    Ford tech's are paid by the job and not by the hour or salaried?
  13. Hack for lowering spare tire?

    Ordered. Thank you so much!
  14. Hack for lowering spare tire?

    I've searched the internet, and this forum, for the jack and factory tool to lower the spare to no avail. My Flash didn't come with a spare and I didn't think it would be hard to find everything needed for a useful spare. The tire and rim, no problem. The jack and tools to lower the spare are...
  15. 12V battery charge

    Since CCA's aren't needed, would a deep-cycle marine battery cause any issues with the Lightning?
  16. Raptor vs Lightning: the numbers

    In almost six weeks that I've owned my Lightning I've driven a little over 1,700 miles. According to the GOM I'm averaging 2.4 miles per Kwh. Since I charge between 10pm to 6am, FPL claims I'm being charged $0.04 per Kwh. So, 1,700/2.4 = 709 Kwh X $0.04 = $28.36 !! The ICE truck I replaced...
  17. Is anyone getting more miles per charge? I had it for 3 years and it seems im getting more as it it gets older?

    Never say never. Until last January I'd laugh when people asked "will the snow reach us?" The picture is six inches of snow on my deck. We had "drifts" around town of more than two feet.
  18. MotorTrend 2022 Lightning Lariat 3-Year Verdict: Plenty to Love, Little to Hate

    Where I live in Florida, the local power company has a pretty good deal for EV owners. Unlimited off peak, weekends and holidays charging for a flat rate of $31/mo. if your house is already hardwired for an EV charger. If they have to provide hardwiring, the rate is $38/mo...
