The majority of mine is as well. I did about 30,000 miles between the Pro, the R1T, and the Lariat. I should’ve started a YouTube channel.

That's a lot of miles! I can't believe at how little it's cost me to drive the 10k.

Im very mixed about it. It’s wonderful on highways in sunny days.

It’s also extremely infuriating in how conservative it is. There have been many nights where folks have probably seen me all alone in the truck screaming “I’m looking forward at the road! I can’t look at any more road!!”

It’s nice to have but I’m confident I will not be renewing..yet I’m stuck with the stupid screen.

Yeah I think I like the 12 inch screen much better. I just wish I had the games and Youtube.

It’s supposedly produced and at “The Ramp” at the the plant. Estimated delivery is Aug 4-10. I know that’s bullshit.

I'm sure CSX can make it happen for you?

I only have 8300 on mine. I need to make a couple of more road trips.

Road trip to TN next month when were there. We'll find a 7-11 and I'll treat you to a slurpy. No random strings attached like @Yellow Buddy 's "free" slurpy offer lol.

What's the equivalent of ramp 51 at the Mexico plant and how long do we think you'll be there?

Ramp cincuenta y uno.

The SR is tough to road trip in. It’s doable but it ends up being 3-4x the amount of stops.

As long as you charge at home, it’s pretty darn cheap.

On the road it’s silly how expensive electricity is. At $0.36/kWh, I’m basically paying the same as I would with gas.

I think they yanked YouTube. I have to check, but I remember reading that they require connected services subscription to use it.

Would you really sit in th LE car watching or playing?

Couldn’t afford the Lariat if I was buying everyone free slurpee…

That’s why I need the games.

It’s more comfortable on a phone than leaning to your side and playing on the screen though

You may be right. I’d still like to try.

Trade it in for a Lairat. I’ll take that Pro off your hands

Now I have to remember that damn train phone number so I can make my obligatory 18543 calls to verify it’s still at the ramp. August 2022 was a blast with you crazies.
I wonder how many of our group still have our original Lightnings.

This thread though!! Who knew we would make it to nearly 2700 replies, 113000 views and 179 pages…tons of good info on tracking hidden in all the fun for anyone willing to sort through it all.

Y'all were and still are a chatty bunch, onward to 200 pages of posts!!!
