  1. Electrified Overlanding

    Greenville SC. In 30 minutes I find myself in the Blue Ridge Escarpment and within one hour in the Panther town, Cashiers area. Asheville is 52 miles away from my home. We have relatives in the Asheville area which we take advantage of visiting and enjoying the local breweries. Hiking and...
  2. Thanks Ford for the improved hands-on-wheel detection; Advanced Driver Assistance System update (24-PU0105-CMR-FX)

    Agreed. Just finished my Labor Day trip to Pamlico Sound/Oriental NC, going to using the southern route and returning to my home using the northern route. Yes…I noticed it a lot. BC/Hands free felt more refined and engaging with me during this trip. Made the 9 hour drive more comfortable...
  3. Electrified Overlanding

    Same setup with mine. Living close to the the Blue Ridge Mountains. A lot more trees than in Utah but the same concept. Primitive camping has been so good with my Lightning.

  5. Why was Charger capacity reduced ?

    Do you have a place to go when the Volcano blows.?????
  6. Why was Charger capacity reduced ?

    Agree with what you said. Ford knows when you use the 80amp Pro charger. I remember in August of 2022 when I requested from SunRun to give me my Pro charger that they held in a warehouse in California. It was Ford’s idea to generate business for SunRun. Anyways, since I had purchased the first...
  7. Trip from central MD to OBX & back

    Planning to return to the OBX via the southern route. This time with my Lightning pulling my camper. Will take the ferry ride and stay at Frisco and continue on to the Devil Hills and visit again the Wright Brothers Memorial. Like to check the major renovations done to the place. A pilot’s and...
  8. This F-150 Lightning Powers a Colorado Dream, One Latte at a Time

    Wow.!!! Good luck to you. May the Lightning be with you.!!!
  9. My BougeRV 30QT Fridge setup in frunk

    If it fits in your frunk then it will fit under your tonneau. The 44 or 60 won’t.
  10. My BougeRV 30QT Fridge setup in frunk

    The 30 quart fits fine but the 44 or 60 quart won’t. I have a 44 quart one which fits fine at the bed of the truck, covered with a tarp. Adequate ventilation even in the hot summer days.
  11. Lightning Q2 sales down 26% from Q2 2024

    Not many folks seem to interested to learn from the Tesla folks and their habits of charging their Tesla vehicles. I have noticed how many of them use the supercharging network. They stop by, charge for 10 minutes and they leave. It is routine to them even if they living in an apartment or...
  12. 7,600 Miles, 7 National Parks, 1 Spruce Goose with my F-150 Lightning

    Awesome, Wonderful, Courageous and a lot of envy. This is what I am looking forward to be doing soon. I noticed that headwind. I replaced my whip antenna with a short semi flexible one. Good luck on your future endeavors.
  13. I charged to 100% and my Lightning said 379 miles!

    Get used to it. Mine does the same, 345, 348, 354, and it is 3 years old with ER battery. I know all the folks will tell you to drive it a bit and it will drop back down to normal. It will drop but not fast. I have done all kinds of scenarios, even getting it to the interstate rather quickly...
  14. Scary charging error on roadtrip at EvGo, red light on ring and could not charge anywhere

    I had this happen to me once in a Tesla station. The issue was that you have to follow the procedure step by step and don’t rush things or do them out of order. I turned everything off and waited for a minute or two before I re engaged. It worked. That also was pretty early when the Fords got...
  15. NHTSA - Seeking More Detail on BC 1.4

    Elon took out, (fired, let go), most of the people within the agency investigating Tesla’s FDA system and its malfunctions. Did he leave the ones who investigate Ford’s and GM’s FDA systems alone?? Just wondering. What a mess the DOGE team made and left behind. Definitely we did not SAVE a dime.
  16. Lightning sales down 42 percent in May

    It will do fine. I have mine for 3 years. I have seen both sides of the coin. I am not worried about. Also, I am looking at the other competitors, are they doing better, worse or the same. That Big Beautiful Abomination Bill has spooked a lot of folks. Most of us love those Tax Credits to help...
  17. Incredible efficiency when it’s all downhill…

    These the kind of numbers I get also coming down from the Blue Ridge Mountains, BRP, to my home in the Greenville SC area. Going uphill is a different situation. I usually had my wife on the edge of her seat looking the screen wondering if we had enough of a charge to come home. She was...
  18. Keeping stuff dry in the truck bed

    I have the Retrax system also on my Lightning. It is the composite one. The roll up cover will leak some. I installed it myself. The Retrax system allows me to use the T rail system to mount racks that use T bolts for attachment. The rollup cover will allow water to come thru but it is minimal...
  19. Lightning Charged to 345 miles and 100%.

    This is getting interesting. This morning I charged the Lightning to 100% to see what was going to be the range. Outside temp was 63deg and at full scale I saw over 350 miles range. 356 miles to be correct. The Lightning is 3 years old. Either Ford released some of the reserved battery or...
  20. FordPass App 5.18.0 for Android & iOS has landed

    Just got this update last night. This morning I walked away from my truck and heard the walk away sound for the first time.
