Clarification on Max Tow Package contents?

[sotek2345]

All I know and will add is that the Thermal management on the Lightning with Max tow is leagues better than our Mach-e GT. Here are situations where the Mach-e will reduce power that the Lightning handles with no issues.

- driving at highway speeds
- fast charging
- full power over 5 seconds
- multiple back to back full power pulls.
- hot days
- cool days

I ordered the max tow package. I live in Florida and need all the cooling available. I am curious if having a dedicated loop and compressor for battery cooling allows the cabin AC to be better? I know in mine the AC will freeze you out.

I suppose you could say there could be advantages in both directions - now the cab a/c has a dedicated compressor,

I would imagine it does, couldn't hurt...

I would think it allows the cabin AC and the chiller to be more efficient. At least you can be as comfortable as you want without any potential impact on the rest of the cooling system.

The downside: more serviceable parts in a difficult location.

Watching the teardown videos on Munro YouTube I thought the same thing. Lift cab or drop battery for ac compressor replacement?

I would think dropping the battery would be quicker. Maybe?
