Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the e-locking rear axle lock the rear wheels together to boost the ability to travel through snow? Or get unstuck? Or avoid getting stuck?
None of that has anything to do with towing.
The part that makes it even worse for me is, I'm 99.999% sure this is done in software. And the software is already written. This is just de-contenting for de-contenting's sake.

There is a servo and actuator inside the rear motor/diff on Lightnings.

The F-150 Lightning isn’t alone in terms of feeling the effects of a general slowdown in demand for EVs, as one of its chief rivals – the Tesla Cybertruck – recently received some price cuts to spur sales
Lightning may do better over time if battery module replacement does not get out of hand. CT innovation is gradually being exposed for what it is.

I got a Flash trim level too late in the game I suppose. I don't have:

- Dampened tailgate
- Tailgate step
- Locking differential
- 131 kWh battery pack
- Wireless charging pad
- Door lock/unlock keypad

Which is ALL equipment I would have used regularly and would have benefitted from. Price on the truck sure didn't decrease though!
