  1. I towed a brick (box trailer) in sub-freezing temperatures and the Lightning did great!

    I wonder if the battery stays warm(er) under load from towing and because of this doesn't get as much of a loss from normal cold weather conditions as the work-load is keeping it warm. Hmm.. those are good towing numbers regardless of winter conditions!
  2. Real-World Home Power Backup Options Using F-150 Lightning

    Is there any data on how future proof this Sunrun/ford installed system is? If I drop the 10k will it work on any EV trucks going forward, only Ford, or who knows at all? The inverter in it, like a any other solar system, should be rated for 10-20 years (warranty).. you would hope if you dropped...
  3. Who here has taken delivery of a Lightning and had NO issues with it?

    My only issue is it's winter time and I can't be out there camping.
  4. Seriously… why did they make that frunk beep?

    This - we should start go fund me or go find me. lol. The sound brings in soooo much surronding attention at camp grounds.. takes forever to get setup with all the folks coming by asking questions (not that I mind but still).
  5. Temperature gauges dummy or real

    I was towing without tow-haul mode on going against a strong headwind. Temps certainly went up after sometime but never got too insanely high, or outside of the little ____|_____|____ box that I am assuming it wants you to operated within. Kinda did that as a test. Every other time I've put it...
  6. I pulled a trailer with my Lightning and it wasn’t a disaster

    All about that aero. Not everyone is towing 11ft tall, 8ft wide travel trailers. Thanks for sharing!
  7. Report: First time towing 30 foot 7k camper w/ F-150 Lightning Lariat a success!

    That's outstanding efficiency! I am not sure if I've ever gotten over 1.1 going 60+ on my trailer. My normal around going 65-70 is .8-.9. I've seen .7 when fighting a nasty headwind but nothing ever lower than that. Looking at your dry tongue weight - the Lightning sure is nice having a higher...
  8. Standard Range SR Lightning towing road trip results

    Holy smokers -- haha nice name! I think that efficiency was pretty good! Glad to hear you found some good chargers along the way. I'm going to do a two-charger camping trip soon as well.
  9. Did 600 miles towing an Airstream turn my Extended Range into a Standard Range?!

    This would explain why it kept trying to have me go near north-STL to charge and get shot at instead of an EA charger normally available before or after that area.
  10. Did 600 miles towing an Airstream turn my Extended Range into a Standard Range?!

    Oh and as far as the GOM issues - do you think at any point camping you may have accidently started towing without saying a trailer is connected (selecting your trailer from a list)? If that happened it would have fed into your normal GOM estimates.
  11. Did 600 miles towing an Airstream turn my Extended Range into a Standard Range?!

    You had to sit and wait for a level 2? Ouch.. that's my nightmare, having that happen with the family. Your efficiency numbers seem pretty high tho which is sweet! I get .8 on average cruise controlled at 70. I may get 1.0+ if under 60 but haven't done enough testing there to know.
  12. How many miles on a new Lightning delivered?

    HAha - yep I was thinking about you when I put mine up. We're such winners!
  13. Through the end of the year, Electrify America will be replacing 300+ early-generation chargers with next-generation chargers

    Yes! That's it for miles and miles in that pass. Can't tow through there without it working. Last time I was there only #3 was working at an ok speed along with #2 only running at ~36kW. Nothing else was working.
  14. Through the end of the year, Electrify America will be replacing 300+ early-generation chargers with next-generation chargers

    They really need to do something about mt vernon, il's station - critical charging stop for a tower trying it make their way down 57.
  15. Lightning Platinum vs R1T Range test by Alex's EV Buyers Guide

    My personal experience on my ER Lariat - and what others are shared plenty of times across these forums. Over 1000 miles of high driving for my self and I've seen 2.1-2.2 doing about 72 on average. 2.0 seems a little low.. but this is a platinum so maybe that is more normal.
  16. Delivery Before PDI?

    I've test drove an ICE F-150 before the PDI was done; right off the delivery truck basically. They wouldn't let me take it home though. I completed the paperwork and came back the next day to pick it up after the PDI was done.
  17. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    Impressive towing - that's a monster travel trailer!
