NJ is always stating they want to go green, and etc.. However it appears it needs to get some extra funds. So with this Bill (A4011), it not only increases the gas tax over the several years but also adds a $250 yearly EV registration fee (which goes up to $290 in 2029)...
So obviously we know how it works, either we just plug in and it "just works" or we need to start charging manually (app or locally). However I am interested in how it would "just work". I heard a very brief snip-it on one of the most recent munro and associates videos thats it seems to be based...
I was refreshing my Connected Services page on Ford's website, and saw information on the Ford Protect PremiumCARE Flex Plan. I assume this is only for vehicles that are out of warrant, but I never heard of this before.

I had my truck for well over a year now, and I never had this issue before. I guess during the cold nap we have been having, they are looking for warm areas to seek shelter, and where better than the front truck.
I didn't notice the back of the battery panel at first, however I noticed a little...
So I had this happen quite a number of times, and at first I thought it was a fluke but it appears to be duplicated easily on my end.
I notice that if I am in the truck completely powered off (like I am waiting for someone), that I hear a quick popping noises out of the (top?) speakers. It...
So this has been an interesting night, and it all started with my EVSE had a stuck relay. This happened before, I just need to open it up and sand down the ark welds…no big deal (using a OpenEVSE). However I didn’t have a chance to do that so I just restarted it and it took care of the issue...
I was just looking on the Ford parts website (random searching), and noticed there are part differences in door glass between trims. The driver side appears to be constant, but models above the Lariat (ie Platinum, Limited, Raptor, etc.) get a different drivers and passenger rear, along with a...
I have been stuck on FPU 6.1 for over a month now, so I was trying to see what the hold up was. I reached out to someone on the forum, and I don't appear to have those newer updates in the queue as of 11/8 which I find odd. Regardless, I was snooping around to see if my truck has been trying to...
I know as it gets colder, like anything else, parts and alignment of parts can shift a bit. However for the past few weeks, I have been having this odd body creak when going over bumps or when the car is not quite level. I don't recall this happening during the summer time, or even last year. I...
My Ford OE blades have started showing issues after a year of use/abuse. I know there is a multitude of different blades on the market, which ones do people recommend for the F150L or just the F150 in general?
So I had my Lightning for well over a year now, and I love it. However someone today asked me more of a mechanical question related to the 4WD system that I didn't know, and I then become a bit curious.
I know the axles are directly connected to the motor, and I see that in the diagram below...
I know some of us are easy on the truck, while others are a bit hard, so what does everyone think about the motor longevity on the Lightning? Do we think the motors will outlive the battery pack?
In the last 300 or so miles, I have had something rattling inside the driver door and its particularly noticeable when I go over bumps. I removed everything that was in the bottom trays, and it still around. Does anyone have any instructions on how to remove the door panel?
I was looking around online, and may have found a new priority update from FMC. I don't recall reading about this one either. I also attached the PDF, which doesn't explain anything... like usual.
Manufacturer Communication Number: 23PU0306BCDET

Priority Update 23-PU0306-BCF-DET for...
So I managed to snag the max recline option back in June of 2022 when it was still being offered. I never really tried it, however I might be going on a personal road trip without the family, and might need to sleep inside the truck. I am not exactly small person - 5' 10", and weigh around 250...
Anyone have any recommendations for center and rear inserts? The front ones have tension on the sides via plastic and springs, but the center and back don’t have those and I worry about larger drinks spilling easier (ie McDonalds).
So normally in any vehicle you don’t want to above a certain number of inches from the ground in order to avoid the engine ingesting water and hydro locking or blocking the exhaust. In this case, we obviously have no engine but motors with a sealed battery.
Even though the motors and...
