Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! 📸

[2wheeltraveler]

Trip from North Austin (unloaded) to RV storage in Hye, TX, back to Circuit of the Americas in Austin (loaded) for F1 weekend. About 140 miles round trip, no charging needed.

Topped up charge at home the 1st night night and boondocked off truck power all weekend. Topped off at empty 50Amp RV spot at end of weekend before hauling it back to storage.

Born in St Paul, grew up in Iowa… love TX but roots run deep

Doing an "EV Truck" thing. Powering 2 Inflatables for my daughter's Bday party. Success!

that’s awesome! how long did it last? was it a ER battery? what was your starting and ending percentage? i’m curious if I should plan to use mine for my daughter‘s birth party

I can't remember exact % ( i think it was around 30% for like 8-9hrs) used but I power the dragon looking bounce house all the time. Maybe about 20% used for a full day on the SR battery. Just remember, shut off headlights, a/c, seat cooling or heating, and even the screen to get the best use.

Wonderful photos of your Lightning! Thanks for sharing this RV trip with the F-150 community.

We love to see the F-150 Lightning put to work, Glen!

I can't tell because of all the mud, but are those the stock AS or AT tires?

It’s the tires. They may have an m+s on the sidewall, but they are optimized for pavement. Getting stuck happens. Used the tractor after getting stuck in mine, too. Its life. View attachment 80580 View attachment 80580

It’s the tires. Just because they are stamped M+S does not mean that much. The stock tires were optimized for on pavement use.
Been stuck in mud with the truck and tractor in the back pasture on the same day. Life happens . ??‍

Delivering materials to the job. The bed camera is great ? and the scales are pretty cool

Just seeing this - remember, no matter what you're powering off your truck, compared to actually driving it the usage will be miniscule.

If you found something that took the full 30 amps continuously the bed-based 240V plug can handle, you'd be pulling approximately 7 kW. So, 7% of your power each hour on a standard range, 5% on an ER. And those inflatables aren't pulling anywhere near that.

I run a full tailgate setup with lights, fans, TV, coffee pot, etc. over a couple hours before football games and don't even notice. The only time I worry at all about something plugged into my truck is if I'm going to be skirting it within a % or two of what I need to get home.

Emergency powering of furnace to heat the house during a blackout that lasted two days ... (and fridge, microwave, TV, etc. more stuff plugged in the back)

That's a beautiful F-150 Lightning, Mike! And we couldn't agree more, the on-board scales make towing a whole lot safer and easier!
