  1. Chevrolet dealers know; Ford dealers are clueless

    Just a level 2 at my Ford dealership. Not worth the bother
  2. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    100% yes!
  3. Changing a flat tire, could not use the included jack

    I have had four flats in two years. AAAā€™s service providerā€™s jack worked fine. The other three I did myself in under 20 min with the included Ford jack. I did use better chocks on the other wheels. One was on a hunting trip on frozen ground. I had to dig a flat spot for it but it worked...
  4. 1.4 kwh/mi on interstate…disappointed.

    Wind resistance increases by the square of the velocity. Slowing down a little drops the resistance in a considerably larger measure. Just physics 101
  5. It was good while it lasted...

    Up here in the Pacific Northwest, where Tesla Yā€™s are more common than Toyota Corolla I am not seen a problem with congestion at the Tesla superchargers when charging my lightning on 2 Recent Rd. trips. Day before yesterday I was coming back from Eastern Washington, and at one Tesla supercharger...
  6. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    Just about to turn 40,000 on my 22 Lariet ER. Paid MSRP minus the 7,500 rebate and would do it again. I am nearly 70 and have owned too many trucks and cars to recall. This is the best of all of them by far for my needs. I retired, then unretired due to boredom (not lack of money) I am a...
  7. Power limited to 56%

    Had this happen randomly three times. What I found works is stop the truck, turn it off. Get out, close the door, lock it. unlock it, get in and like magic it is back. One of the three times I had to do it twice. Need to lock the doors though.
  8. Frustrated With Ford Dealers (RANT)

    I am going to go out on a limb here and say EV diagnostic is the perfect space for AI. I have been a physician for 44 years and always enjoyed new technology introduce to my field. I was a Chemistry major with pre-engineering pathway in Bio-engineering years back. Medicine, other than...
  9. Lightning tires prone to punctures….???

    I've had 4 punctures, one on each tire. Three were nails and one was a screw. Two occurred near construction sites, one was on the road and the latest one I was out hunting out in the sticks. Nothing like changing a tire out on an uneven frozen over dirt road in the middle of nowhere; but I...
  10. Lightning tires prone to punctures….???

    That must be why I have such trouble getting out of the drivers seat; my metal belt buckle is pinning me to the seat...
  11. Rodent Damage

    Mice totaled my Audi, made a mess of, but didn't damage my Toyata and my MasterCraft (caught the later two just after I discovered the Audi damage. Had to hire professional exterminator for my garage. One ungodly mess!
  12. Article: How Ford’s F-150 Lightning, Once in Hot Demand, Lost Its Luster

    I feel the same way only the reverse when I need to drive my wifeā€™s RAV4. Feels like a kiddy car after the Lightning šŸ˜‚ I donā€™t know how much youā€™ve towed but if you have the same cameras I do and Pro Trailer Backup youā€™ll never look at towing the same way again. PTBU allows my wife to put the...
  13. Article: How Ford’s F-150 Lightning, Once in Hot Demand, Lost Its Luster

    Didnā€™t change my mind one bit. I love my Lightning, charge it 95% at home in a garage and do 95% of my towing regionally. When I do longer tows and hauls I just plan a bit more, am easier on the pedal and enjoy the ride taking a little more time. Two winters nearly done and the truck has done...
  14. Weird limited power issue with apparent front motor failure

    Happened once many miles and months ago. Slightly different though. Happened shortly after changing to sport mode and my front motor became full time regen and no power output. I pulled off the road, shut it off and turned it back on and all was normal again.
  15. Lightning Owner Drives a Cybertruck

    Question for those in the know. Iā€™ve now seen several videos of CTā€™s really struggling off road. Do they not have mechanical locking differentials, trying to do it all with software? One thing I love about the Lightning is its mechanical locker that hooks up instantly. Itā€™s saved my butt...
  16. Very Disappointed with Ford and Sun Run.

    I have ā€˜23 Lariat and got my FCSP within a week ov delivery. Bought a second FCSP from Ford for my second home and got it in just days. Clearly something is wrong with your charger delivery and Ford needs to straighten it out quickly. But the cold and speed issues require some further...
  17. Tailgate will not close if the truck is locked

    I have found the exact same issue. I must unlock the truck then close the tailgate then lock the truck. Very reproducible.
  18. First trip after switching from Tesla.

    Thanks for the report. My experience on the stock General Grabber tires in Summer staying at 58-60 I get 2.1. But every bit of speed above that pays a wind price that goes up geometrically. Iā€™m retired so I donā€™t care about getting places fast anymore as everyday is vacation. But when I had...
  19. It cost me 18.47 times as much to fuel my old truck. This is AMAZING... :o

    My savings isnā€™t as good as yours. But on average it costs me a little under a nickel a mile. My other truck gets 15 mpg and gas rarely costs less than $5 a gallon here. Thatā€™s 33 cents a mile. Towing electric is just under 7 cents a mile, gas a whopping 55 cents a mile. My gas truck only...
