Hopefully Ford realizes that the product wasn't the main problem, their dealership network is THE major problem. FMC knows from telematics that 300 miles of daily range is good for an extremely large majority of their F-150 customer base. They are gonna have to do a much better job educating and...
True, the dealers are gonna be happy when you get app reminders to bring in your EREV for its 5,000 mile generator oil change and various other gas engine maintenance
I really hope it still gets 300 miles of pure EV range but I'm not super optimistic since they probably want to save cost/weight on the battery.
Honestly, Ford should make the generator optional to appeal to the pure EV and Frunk connoisseur crowd and essentially you could appeal to a wider...
Did the Eibachs at 30k miles and the stock ones didn’t have too much oil leakage - but they were very easy to compress with one hand as others have mentioned. It’ll be interesting to see how long the Eibachs last in comparison
We did and it is fantastic. No issues so far with the FPL branded Wallbox that got installed. It reliably kicks on automatically during off peak windows when the truck is plugged in. There is an option to override and charge during peak times in the app (for an extra cost) that seems simple...
Reference for future DIYers… 7/8” worth of aluminum bar shims was the magic number to get the shock to line up with the mounting hole when compressed with a floor jack. After running the bolt through and taking the pressure off the jack, the shims fall right out
Gotcha…I got a piece of scrap 80/20 1x1 in front of it and it’s nearly perfect. I guess I’ll just have to use a Mallet to release the tube when I get the bolt in since it seems pretty well wedged in there
Is the 1x1 tube in reference to wedging it forward of the shock to try and get the holes to line up? I'm stuck at that step where when you jack up the shock, it slides forward since the shock is angled towards the front of the truck. Any tips from people who have done this DIY is appreciated
If anyone at Ford reads this…there’s no way I’d ever go back to a gas F-150 or any other gas vehicle for that matter. If I ever had to replace my Lightning and I couldn’t buy another new Lightning, I’d probably switch brands or buy a used Lightning.
Has anyone used this setup before? I’m looking to burn some FordPass points and I’m not a huge fan of the regular box link divider, since the area by the tailgate is a bit small. An adjustable divider seems much better in this regard.
The rails are simple enough to order, but it appears to be...
Seems like your trailer is capped at 5180 lb payload capacity (7000 lb total). Sounds like that’s your limiting factor if your truck is rated to tow up to 7700 lbs.
Here’s how the Gorillas have held up after a bit more than two years. Still looks fine walking up to the truck. If you look closer at them they are developing small spots of corrosion.
Granted, I’m in the south without salt on the roads…For now I’ll be keeping them and only swap them if they...
By punishing the people who are doing the right thing by paying for genuine software licenses and creating a software revenue stream for Ford? Charging more won’t do anything for the security of Fords software.
I’d wager it would have the opposite effect - the more Ford charges for software...
