The difference between the SR regular tow of 5,000 pounds and the Tow package capacity of 7,700 pounds is due to the additional battery cooling provided by the tow package. That is the only difference. All of the other mechanicals are identical. So if your not towing up a 10% grade in Death...

Owning an EV (here in middle America) requires a considerable amount of patience compared to ICE power. You’ll have to come to an internal understanding of that before you can be satisfied with one. It helps if your use case allows for nightly home recharging without the need for public...

Finally a 50 kWh charging option in the middle of the abyss. Chanute Kansas.

You have much greater patience than the rest of us. Having to wait three months for something as inconsequential as a Frunk failure is unacceptable. There should either be a way to fix the Frunk in place and allow the Lightning to be driven or it should be repaired with the highest priority.

I think The “one of the most challenging routes…” quote was referring to the entire Baja peninsula route. And not just the gravel road they happened to be on. Of course the challenge is how much off-road you do on the route compared to roads. A week to drive 1000 to 1200 miles shows how time...

Considering the lack of reading comprehension that many dealers have, the IRS better make this a bullet proof process. I can envision a variety of scenarios where the dealer gets things goofed up and a customer gets stuck with an unplanned $7500 tax bill come April 15th. I can also think of a...

Unless Ford has changed the Lariat tires should be: note that the all terrain Hankook doesn’t look like most aftermarket all terrain’s. The all terrain is a Hankook Dynapro AT2 275 60/R20 115T The all season is a General Grabber HTS 60 275 60/R20 116T

I still think that somehow the combination of 120v charging on a low SoC and high hangar temps are the cause of the problem. The owners manual mentions 122 degrees F as the maximum temperature for charging. Perhaps that is contributing to the problem. I’ve only used 120 volt charging a few...

What was your initial state of change when you plugged it into the 120 outlet? Also what were the environmental conditions in the hangar? A non A/C enclosed hanger could be getting very hot inside. Perhaps the truck is cooling the battery and consuming charge. You would think the truck would...

No complaints here. I’ve had my Lightning for over a year. Just the goofy front air dam error occasionally. Instead of focusing on a few threads of Lightnings that have reported problems check out the thread “Pics of Lightning Trucks doing Truck Things”.

I just renewed my Oklahoma tags. They have a $158 full electric vehicle “fee” as part of the registration. The Oklahoma state fuel tax is $0.19 per gallon (gas and diesel). If I compare the F250 I replaced with the Lightning, the $158 in state fuel tax would be collected over the purchase of...

I finally got the update and noticed the improvement with the GOM screen.

Reading through this thread I just realized why Chevrolet started delivering Silverado EV fleet trucks first. There won’t be a bunch of alarmist thread posts on social media forums about vehicle problems.

Buying a vowel costs $250.

I think that EV price fluctuations will become the norm and we won’t like it. - Technology particularly battery tech may render a nearly new vehicle obsolete before it’s direct replacement can be produced. - Range anxiety. Any new truck that is announced with more claimed range than current...

Ford deserves to eat a bunch of buybacks with the DTE software update they rolled out this past winter. Ford’s calculator has amnesia every time it is charged. If my driving history is that I only get 1.7 Mi/KWh then the trucks GOM should start by giving me 165 miles of range (SR for me)...

Very interesting. How long can you mow with the brush hog (assuming moderately thick grass that your cutting a foot of height)? I think it would take a fully charged Lightning SR battery to mow for 2 hours with my 15’ flex wing brush hog.

Got a load of sod this morning and then made a Lightning powered watering contraption this afternoon.

I forgot the excavator. make that 24 cylinders. Some could go to battery power. Small chainsaws, weed eaters, push mowers, side by side, etc. Some are a long way off from battery power; tractor, excavator, welder, mowing machine, big chainsaws, etc. I’d love to get a Lithium Polaris Ranger...

Getting go go juice for the ICE machines. I’ve still got 20 cylinders of equipment to feed.
