Do you plan to tow 9100 pounds with the Lightning? How far?

Frame rails provide load carrying / towing at lower price point for a long wheelbase truck. Easier to manufacture than unibody. An F-150 super crew with 8 foot bed is lots of unibody stamping! Also the rails provide high longitudinal stiffness and that’s what you need in a truck… loaded towing...

OK great thanks!

Update was installed yesterday. Main issue is Sirius XM very slow, press a channel and it takes about 20 seconds to change and another 20 to change the display info. So Ford totally f’ed up a system that was working fine. I’m not happy powerboost king ranch.

You have the right attitude and it may be a fun project for awhile. But the whole point of a full size pick up in my mind is no limitations. It does whatever you want (except fly). Don’t sell your Silverado, you’ll want it back in 3 months. Use the Lightning to pick up groceries in style!

I have a 1984 911 (38 years) going strong, also a 1996, and a 21 year old 4-runner with zero issues. I think I could drive the 4-runner around the Earth a few times without worry! A construction guy just drove his 90’s Tacoma over to my house it had 440,000 miles with no major issues. Present...

Thanks, not a wrap it’s Peridot metallic on the 2012 Cayman R.

I’m about as likely to put a snowplow on a Lightning as on a Cayman. The Lightning is to drive in a snowstorm to pick up hot coffee and donuts. Or maybe to the slopes in Aspen. It’s just way too nice a vehicle to trash with a snowplow. I’ll keep an old truck for that, and if I can afford a...

How did that golden earring radar love lyric go: “I’ve been driving all night my hands wet on the wheel…” Now it is: ‘“My lightnings still charging all night can you take me to breakfast…” You better live close to your main squeeze that’s for sure.

Yes I agree just watched the install video. I think I’ll put some miles/scratches on mine first.

After much deliberation I have found the solution to the problem. Two F-150’s, one the super cool electric and one the do-everything powerboost! I’m measuring the garage now. And no, I’m not kidding!

You are exactly right. It will work if you spend the day around town working hauling etc then charge at night. Even that will get old and if you forget you’ll be late to work! I routinely travel 550 miles in 7.5 hours there is just no way to do that. And if you want to go 1000 miles it’s not one...

Well, in defense of the dealers, I asked my service manager about issues with the 2021’s and she said they have not seen one back at the dealership (yet?). That was 6 weeks ago. So of all the trucks that left none have returned with problems. Then I asked my master tech (very talented could fix...

Ford has a nice video on caring for those wheels. My King Ranch will have them (when it gets here!). But your damage does not look all that bad and mirror glaze is amazing. Make sure the wheel is clean before you remove the scratches in the clear coat. Everyone should have a bottle of mirror...

The pvd wheels are clear coated you should treat them just like your clear coated paint. No metal polishes! So you are trying to fix the damage just like if you drug a brass brush across your hood. I would start with Mequiars “mirror glaze” No. 7 lightly with a micro fiber towel then follow that...

My Diamondback HD is on order with an April 5 ship estimate. My King Ranch PB is scheduled for week of April 5. So I’ll have the cover in my garage for awhile. As for the power tailgate I did ask about that and it may be an issue with the new gasket on the cover. They say it clears. But actually...
