  1. What's your favorite stretch of road?

    Try highway 36 between red bluff and the coast in NorCal if you want to experience a less traveled 2-wheel road. https://www.pashnit.com/ca-hwy-36
  2. What's your favorite stretch of road?

    Imagine how much less power I could have used if I hadn't averaged over 72 mph. I would try to max it out if I didn't enjoy the performance aspect of the truck so much more than the fuel efficiency.
  3. What's your favorite stretch of road?

    I got particularly excited when I noticed the performance I was experiencing for an hour along this stretch of road on my recent road trip. This was heading down I-80 between Truckee and Sacramento. I'll let you do the math.
  4. 2023 Lightning Lariat dead, backordered parts...

    This was the perfect read for me as I'm about to leave this afternoon for a week-long 2k mile road trip from Central Texas to New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Northern California. Good luck with all your trouble. I hope it's not contagious.
  5. Ding ding for nothing?

    After OTA updates, the truck occasionally seems to forget what setting the headlight knob is on. I keep it on auto. It'll still be in that physical position, but I don't think the truck agrees with the knob on the current setting. Cycling it back and forth appears to sync the two back up...
  6. Post a pic of your Dog in your new Lightning 😁

    I'm going to be travelling 2000 miles with my dog soon, so I made this for her in the back seat.
  7. Squirrel Chewed Through Charging Wires

    I never updated here, but I was trying to humanely deter the squirrels (despite my bluster). But in the last week of February, I returned from a 4-day trip where my truck had been parked at the airport. The morning after my return, the squirrels struck again and destroyed the same wiring...
  8. PSA: Get an Additional BlueCruise Year for Free (2022 and 2023 Models)

    No, it was just my opinion that the button/field I needed to press wasn't obvious. In the end, I got there and thought that my struggles might aid another person when a lot of people in this thread are saying that the option wasn't available to them.
  9. PSA: Get an Additional BlueCruise Year for Free (2022 and 2023 Models)

    I saw this thread today and checked and didn't have the menu item in my Ford Pass app. I updated the app and it was there. Then I didn't see the $0 option on the initial screen, just a price for monthly. I ended up selecting what appeared to not be a pressable field and it showed me the...
  10. Lower Frunk Storage Flip-Up Lid - DIY Solution

    It took me a second to figure out what you did. I love the hinge idea! It can be custom made to fit any specific stationary object.
  11. Squirrel Chewed Through Charging Wires

    They're estimating 5-6 hours of work and their rate is $206 per hour. 3-way splice of multiple wires that require solder, shrink wrap, and retaping. Then there is the time spent root causing, more diagnostics and testing, and putting back together the parts they take off to access the wiring...
  12. Squirrel Chewed Through Charging Wires

    I think they also need something to grind down their teeth since they continuously grow. Metal wires are the right size and hard enough to help with it. I'll buy some pepper spray and/or peppermint stuff and try coating the underside and insides of my truck when I get it back if I haven't...
  13. Squirrel Chewed Through Charging Wires

    They run along the fence outside my home-office window where my dog chases them back and forth. I'm going to start with rat traps that I'll to tie a 1-foot string to and secure them to the top of the fence. No point in maiming them and letting them get away with the traps. This should also...
  14. 2023 Ford Lightning, 4,000 miles - 5 out of 6 lug nuts and studs sheared off of the right front wheel!

    About 25 years ago when I was even dumber than I am now, I had a 1984 convertible 5.0 mustang. I rotated all my tires myself just before the end of a college semester. Then I drove the car 1200 miles to Reno NV. At some point well before the halfway point, I began hearing/feeling a rhythmic...
  15. Squirrel Chewed Through Charging Wires

    The other day, I walked out to my truck in warmer (40 degree) rain after a week of sub-freezing temperatures. I saw some chewed up acorns on top of my rear passenger wheel. I instantly had murderous thoughts about rodents. The first few months I had my truck (Sept '22), I had found a mountain...
  16. Post a pic of your Dog in your new Lightning 😁

    I love it! I made something very similar for a Tacoma I had in 2011. Life was so much easier for my dog that way and it was also handy for when I wanted to travel with things in the backseat that I was going to be reaching back for commonly while driving.
  17. Check and verify your tire pressure.

    This is some epic level trolling!
  18. DIY: Installing ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) and LKA (Lane Keep Alert) to 2022 F-150 Lightning XLT

    I already have ACC/BC in my Lariat ER, but just read this whole thread from beginning to end because I'm a nerd for debugging problems and features and their eventual solutions. I give this thread a 10 out of 10. Would read again!
  19. 🚨RealTruck Gator Flash Sale Ending Soon!🚨

    I grabbed one of these during your sale. My daughter helped me put it on last night. The price was worth the hour she got to spend helping me.
  20. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    I've owned many vehicles including a new F-150 ICE. This is still the best vehicle and truck I've ever owned. I would absolutely buy one again. I'll own this one until significant battery technology advancements are made. Today, you'd buy the same tech as my 2022, but for 75% of the cost I paid.
