Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

I’ll keep the Ridgeline theme going. I’ve had a first gen Ridgeline for about 4 years, but I’m ready to move on. One thing I love is the trunk in the bed, so the lightning frunk is a big plus for me. I won’t miss the 15mpg I get in my mostly city driving. I’m currently in the market for a used Lariet ER on a tight budget.

Finally got myself a Lightning! Meet Blu, a 2023 Lariat with ER and Pro Power Onboard! I purchased it on June 6, 2025. I’ve already taken it on a trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, from Atlanta, Georgia, with my wife. We had a blast and enjoyed being able to connect to Tesla chargers during the trip.

I’m delighted to discover this forum and eager to join. I’m looking forward to inspiring and encouraging others, and to be inspired myself.

You are already way ahead of me! My first road trip this week without a Tesla adapter was fraught with frustrations on crappy EA and EVGo chargers…
Nice truck!

Stoked to be a part of the forum! Long time lurker. Hello from New Mexico! I'm a recent trade up from a Model Y. Proud owner of a new to me 2022 Lariat SR. Aside from software, better than the Tesla in just about every way so far.

Happy Sunday everyone.

I made it happen! I picked up a ‘22 Star White Lariat ER with 54k miles yesterday. Without tax, I was OTD for $41,139. I wanted to find one sub $40k, but this was a color I wanted and it had some nice aftermarket upgrades. Smooth drive 5 hours back home following ABRP.

That’s nice! What were some of the upgrades?

Newer Michelin tires, mud flaps, front window tint, husky liners, illuminated front badge, tri-fold bed cover, bed rug, and 3D printed rear hvac extensions. Basically anything I would have added, except the rotary shifter, but I’m working on that.
