✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

And my SA steered me into it, saying it looked so much better than Atlas. I did see it on a KR in person and you're right, especially with the tailgate applique. I was originally looking at a Lariat PowerBoost with the chrome bumpers and accents, I think it would have been okay there. But the more "sport" like appearance of the Lightnings make it a tough color.

I was Agate black until I saw AMB in person. I couldn’t turn away from it. I love it.

Brethren, I am a meek Pro owner with Sync 4. I am aware of a Ford streaming trial which expires early Oct. What can I do with it? The only app I see which might rely on streaming service is pandora and can’t seem to add others ??‍

Amazon Music is what I used...but I got tired of it and just use CarPlay. I've found CarPlay gets a little buggy sometimes though and has issues switching between CarPlay and bluetooth on occasion. Usually happens if I have an app loaded prior to getting into the car.

I'm happy I went that way over Agate, not that I was really considering it. Our SR Lightning is Star White I love that color on these trucks.

Just to understand, there isn’t an App Store but the Sync scans your phone for applicable apps and you have Amazon Music on your phone? I have Pandora and Spotify but I guess Spotify isn’t an available app for streaming ??‍.

So far I just go with CarPlay as well but was curious if I was missing something amazing with the streaming trial.

I don't have the slightest clue...

What I know is my truck was supposed to have Alexa. When it didn't show up, I removed it from my FordPass and redid the activation process. After I did that, I had the option to enable Alexa which also activated my streaming. By default the car now streams through Amazon Music - through the truck, not the phone.

I haven't actively installed any apps onto my truck that I know of. I usually just do wireless CarPlay and use either Spotify, Amazon Music, and Waze.

Wish Ford would get back to some 80’s two-tones. Here’s my first ever new Ford. We use it on the farm as our work truck. Missing a hubcap on the left side Don’t ask what a hub cap is, search for it

If I know what a hub cap is...does that mean I'm old?

I know it's a F-150L forum, but I know you guys love me. So I'm going to post here on my initial R1T vs F150L thoughts, this will obviously be biased as I've been driving the F150L almost exclusively for about a month.

1) Oddly enough, the F150L has better front sight lines. The hoot scoops down vs the R1T stretches out.
2) They both feel just as wide
3) I really miss how quiet the F-150L is
4) Why's it so cramped in here?
5) This thing needs running boards. I have to climb into this thing.
6) Why is the center console so small?
7) Why are the door pockets so small?
8) Why is the cupholder so small?
9) Why is the glo...where is the glove box?!
10) This thing ZIPS
11) It is not a very comfortable ride
12) Quality is definitely not on par with the F150L, even the Pro.

That's it for now...I'll get some miles and then we'll see more. But somehow I went from the F150L is too large for my liking. To....the R1T may be too small. WTF.

Just call them aero covers and you’ll be hip.

Thanks for the feedback. I do have to say the Lightning is about as quiet as I’ve ever witnessed. Can’t you use the air suspension to lower for ingress egress? I knew the back seat was going to be way smaller but the front feels cramped?

I already busted the air suspension.

The whole thing is tiny. If I never owned the F150L I would probably be fine with it. Idk that I can go back now..

On another note, 3.5.2 was pushed and installed today. I have it set to do updates at 12:00 AM but didn’t receive the notification until about an hour ago.

Did you notice anything new or fun? My truck is currently touring the country.

Edit: Looks like it left the country according to FordPass…
