  1. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    I'm leaning towards a Scout Terra. Timing would be good (2027 target) but the Lightning has devalued so much maybe I keep it and go with the Scout Traveler. Dunno--the Lightning is a great truck. I'm concerned with electronics more than drive train items like batteries. This happened yesterday...
  2. Can ford void warranty if we dont do recommend service

    Mine was $39...next time they will want to change the cabin filter too, oh no! Wonder what they'll want?
  3. Garage too small. Anyone park outside? In the snow?

    Same here. Only rain here so far over the last 15 months in Western NC--my truck doesn't even know that some trucks sleep inside. FCSP outside too.
  4. Lightnings powering homes after Hurricane Helene -- "North Carolina's Coming Run on Electric Cars" (The Atlantic Article)

    A 220V extension cord that pulls off the 110V arms. That way I only had one cord into the house and then used 110 extensions in the house. My plan is to never need that option again. I am installing a generator transfer switch...someday...
  5. Regenerative Braking--Does it Engage the Trailer Brake Controller?

    In regen mode I'm towing an empty trailer. At least loaded I don't have to worry about locking the wheels as easy. Thanks.
  6. Regenerative Braking--Does it Engage the Trailer Brake Controller?

    I finished a trip towing a trailer down a 13 mile downhill stretch (a 2600 ft change in elevation) and I used regenerative braking almost the entire time. Does that engage the trailer brake controller? The brake lights comes on so I eventually just turned the gain way down just in case.
  7. DATA THREAD: Post your tow and efficiency!

    Here's today's adventure. I prelude with my angst towing some agriculture and household needs to Avery County, NC--another hard-hit area of NC. The trip is only 36 miles or so but 13 of it gains 2600 ft elevation. Well, my concerns were unfounded. I charged to 100%. Towed about 6000 pounds and...
  8. Both Front USB Ports Will Not Charge

    Yes. Dealer order a new module today. We'll see...
  9. Both Front USB Ports Will Not Charge

    Just checked the fuses. They are good. Thanks.
  10. Both Front USB Ports Will Not Charge

    Thanks. I'll gave it a try--no go. While at my sensor-software recall my dealership ordered me a new module, more to follow...
  11. Both Front USB Ports Will Not Charge

    Thanks. I'll be at the dealership tomorrow for a software update/recall for sensors. I'll bring the topic up.
  12. Both Front USB Ports Will Not Charge

    The charge pad works though. The same two cables work on the ports at the back of the center console too. Anyone ideas?
  13. Lightnings powering homes after Hurricane Helene -- "North Carolina's Coming Run on Electric Cars" (The Atlantic Article)

    My 2023 ER Lariat ran my large full-sized fridge and stand up model freezer and some misc small stuff like chargers and lamps for 4 days. I averaged 7% battery loss daily using the 220V (with 110 splitter) and 120V in the bed. My only complaint was leaving the truck "running" the whole time. I...
  14. "electric pickup struck a salesman"

    I hope the salesman recovers soon. I posted earlier about a similar incident I had a five months after getting my truck (https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/has-anyone-encountered-runaway-throttle.17638/page-3#post-356599). I backed into a parking spot. When I returned to pull out...
  15. How upside down is everyone and how do you feel about it?

    My 2023 Lariat was $78K last July (yes in hindsight I rushed it but at the time I was 2 years on the wait list). I got the $7500 fed money. I recently checked into a 2023 Platinum when I saw a couple dealers dropping their prices $20K. I was offered in the upper 30s at two different dealerships...
  16. Did you buy an extended warranty?

    7 Months in and my 2023 already had two warranty repairs to electronics (wiper sensors and brake controller)--it spooked me into buying the warranty with the lights option too.
  17. 10K Miles of Stats

    As I was about to send before I realized the 531 miles was very close with the 10K added back. It was just coincidence the technician left the screen on "Trip 1". Thanks.
  18. 10K Miles of Stats

    Well, I planned to keep my Trip 1 un-reset for the duration for no real reason but my last service to replace my wiper module and brake controller module something happened. Dunno how but apparently I now am averaging less than 2 MPH. The KW Per Mile looks right, the hours look right, but the...
  19. Truck Insist on Turning on Pro Trailering

    Technician replaced the brake control module (ML3Z-19H332-J). All looks "normal" now.
