  1. Wireless CarPlay intermittently has no sound

    Seems like it happened after one of the last updates, to me. Of course iOS updated, too, so could be the combination was jinxed. Ford will fix it
  2. Will Ford Ever Increase Lightning Charging Speeds?

    I think the advantage of Ford's charging curve algorithm is that it holds the 170 kw rate longer than other EV's do. And if it helps the battery be healthy longer, I'm for it. But I can see someone who really is in a hurry sometime, as needing a faster charge, too.
  3. Ford Charge Station Pro (2024 Review)

    I got the FCSP and the Sun Run stuff, hoping for the fast turn-around 80 Amp charge and home backup... and then found that to run it at 80 amps would involve rewiring my home loads, or upgrading my home power feed from 300 to 400 amps, which would cost about $4000 in addition to the Sun Run...
  4. Latest trip (MI to VT) - with Tesla supercharging

    My 22 Lariat ER hasn't preconditioned in at least a year, even though I use the Ford Nav app to try to get it too. And then have to figure out how to not drive in the circles it tries to make me go in. Still love the truck, but will love it more with the Tesla adapter for better fast charging...
  5. Tesla Charging Prices - Not excited as others

    I love my Lightning. But, if we were a young couple with limited time and money for vacations and multiple vehicles, then no way would I have got the Lightning. Because on a road trip, it ain't the time you save plugging in at home or not getting twice a year maintenance. It's the time and...
  6. Your 'Connected' Car May Be Transmitting Your Driving Data to Insurance Companies

    Weird. I opted out of all the info sharing when I got the truck. And, I have all the tiles and functionality in Ford Pass. Guess I'm just boring.
  7. Decided to jump on the latest deals and got myself a Lightning.

    You're going to love this truck!
  8. Ford Confirms: Owners Won't Need Tesla App to Supercharge

    I could do a dozen memberships and save a few cents....but the ease of use with the Ford Charge network is well worth paying a little more. I love just plugging in and charging and watching YouTube. Having to keep track of credit cards for each one and the quirks of their apps, is just not...
  9. Dog Mode

    You can just leave the truck running, BUT, you have to turn off the 30 minute count down timer EVERY time. It won't stay off just by setting it once.
  10. Did 600 miles towing an Airstream turn my Extended Range into a Standard Range?!

    I had the truck still thinking it was towing, too. I had to plug the trailer in again, then unplug it while the truck was running. That reset it.
  11. Article: How Ford’s F-150 Lightning, Once in Hot Demand, Lost Its Luster

    I love my Lightning... but if I had to drive far each day and tow, absolutely not. It would be terrible for doing that, and all the talk about MPGe etc is trying to put glitter on a pig. For a full-size F150, 250-270 miles of freeway range, or 300 miles of highway range, neither of those...
  12. Power-Up OTA 6.8.0 - Smart Changes: Center Screen

    I’m not a fan of the cruise control speed down cramped into that one little space now. Hope Blue Cruise 1.3 makes it worth all thes interminable updates that aren’t really updates! Give me a snow mode and mud and rock modes separately. And a car wash mode that folds in mirrors and raises...
  13. HUD

    Ford has HUD’s in higher trim Escapes as an option. I’d like it with Blue Cruise next turn stuff, too. Then the truck wouldn’t badger me for looking down or to center screen.
  14. Lightning Owner Drives a Cybertruck

    Except that I am glad that Ford put a barely adequately sized battery in the Lightning ER. CT battery is calculated to be 123 kW, which would have made a F150L ER a joke. Tesla lacks the excuse of Ford, since Tesla makes the battery. So all Tesla did, basically, is match the Lightning range...
  15. Toyo Open Country A/T EV tires released

    My BFG A/T 2 's have been on since early December, and are doing very well in Wisconsin snow. On ice they'll slide, but so does everything. But more importantly, they are WAY better on wet pavement than the stock tires were.
  16. -20F to -30F performance and experience

    ICE car might not run at -40, but my Dodge Rams and F150 hybrid did. And towed no sweat in that cold weather. There is no question that if you need to drive far and fast in the winter, gas or diesel is the way to go. That being said, I don't need to tow far in the winter, not more than 60...
  17. Open and utilize the drivers side rear storage.

    With the subwoofer back there, probably won't want to put much back there. BUT, if something you REALLY need immediately drops back there, then would be nice to be able to pop the seat latch and just grab and go. That's why I will install my latch before my next camping trip.
  18. Hidden charging stations

    That charger looks like it was made in the back of RadioShack. Idk about Ford, but Chevy usually has nice 3rd party chargers, here in Wisconsin. And up to 45 kw at that. I’m hopeful that Ford will catch-up soon and add more stops closer to camping spots
  19. 40A home charging - Should I do it

    I have the FCSP, running at 48 amps, which I love, compared to 32 amps on a plug-in outside. in theory your 100 amp service would support the 80 amps. BUT you would have to not run anything else at the same time, or breakers will pop off. Sun run probably added up your loads, and figured you...
