Southwest Airlines CU - Southwest Airlines Federal Credit Union | Dallas, TX - Houston, TX - Phoenix, AZ (swacu.org)
They require you to fill out and become a member before you can apply for a loan. Those rates are obviously for the best credit, but it is some of the best around and they...
Discussion and experience for the B&O stereo. How does it perform. How have you improved it? Replaced speakers? Sub? I'm going to start a few topics I hope to see some feedback on from owners. We are losing a lot of good discussion in delivery threads that will some day die off...
Discussion and experience for headlights and performance and lack of fog lights. Are they integrated into that light stack in some manner?. I'm going to start a few topics I hope to see some feedback on from owners. We are losing a lot of good discussion in delivery threads that will...
Discussion and experience for heated and cooled seats. I'm going to start a few topics I hope to see some feedback on from owners. We are losing a lot of good discussion in delivery threads that will some day die off. It will be nice if we can have a place of on going discussions of...
Thank you @Just-another-guy for sharing the information about the first AT tires we've seen delivered on the production Lightning. Tires are Hankook Dynapro AT2 - 275/60R20 115T.
The 115T load rating works out to be:
115 is 2679 pounds of carrying capacity
T is the speed rating which is up...
How many miles do you expect to be on your Lightning at delivery? I think in normal situations I wouldn't expect more than 5 to 7. We know these trucks are being parked and likely moved and some go for spray in liners, etc. One we've seen that had the remote access accepted already has 32...
I've heard many say the invoice and MSRP were the same or close. I saw this today. A break down of how the dealer will earn up to 10% profit on each Lightning they sell. The article that explains it.
The key points:
1% of MSRP paid to dealers as a delivery allowance for every delivery
1%...
I'm not sure how many of you know, but TX has a $2500 rebate that will apply for the Lightning, all models I believe. The key is they are restricted to only 2000 rebates. There is good news and bad news, bad news it looks like they are going fast. The really GOOD news - you can apply...
Well - this may not be as exciting since initial reports that the ambient lights may not be present in our cupholders, but there are links to other threads that I hope will help us retrofit them in if they are not there.
Just in case the lights are there or I can get them retrofitted, I've...
Reading through the manual I found information about the coolant. it never says "battery" coolant, but it does note that if it gets low it can result in overheating in the electric motor. I believe it takes care of the battery and motor, likely a single system for both. Sandy Monroe will...
Looks like we continue to be pretty lucky - at least the Platinum guys for sure. Ford keeps whacking the upper end seats and features from the ICE trucks. Must delete them from orders to even consider getting a truck built. It seems all is still good for the Lightning...
UPDATE:
F-150 Lightning OKTB (OK-To-Buy) Achieved!
I've chatted with my dealer this morning and they confirm their mannequin is built, but the official status is still “ETA Pending Final Launch Readiness Sign Off Expected Spring 2022”
So we might as well officially start guessing - when will...
So I know this has been the standard for a few years, but for me - that giant F-150 across the back is really just kind of hideous, and the way it comes from the factory very cheap looking. Knowing what they've done with the Platinum and King Ranch in the past I feel they missed a great...
I'm not sure if this hit with some of the other increases lately or just this week. It was noticed by someone with a Lightning order and I've checked build and price for ICE and EV - across the board increase of $100 for delivery fee.
Multi-part question I guess - just how secure is the Frunk on the Lightning? Is there a location to jump the 12v battery other than opening the frunk in some way. I can only relate from a Tesla. If the 12v battery is dead, the contacts can't close and recharge it from the HV battery...
Farley knows he is chasing Tesla, he has said so (and I hope he can do well at this). He wants to be more nimble, he wants to engage more. Time for him to up his game - Musk just revealed he owns 9.2% of Twitter. Musk doesn't plan on backing down or going away. Just putting more pressure...
I saw a FB message so I reached out to my agent again with my VIN. He was able to get a quote out of the State Farm system this time. Lariat ER in the DFW,TX area - about $80/month. This is just a couple of dollars cheaper than my Model 3. No accidents, good coverage of 500/500/500...
Do we think the Lightning will have an OBDII port? Just wondering if Ford is advanced enough to drop it or if they've kept it just for a common interface. I'm sure what ever they did on the MachE will carry over, but I haven't gone to check out those forums.
Thought about a gathering place here for us. Open to all, but once we get a few with trucks in possession I think it would be fun to have a meet up (invite those that want to learn more or are in the queue to order). I'm sure there will be plenty of info posted, but nice to compare local...
