Let’s be truthful. No BS, no sugar. Would you buy another? I ask because I still maintain my 2022 Lightning was the best Ford truck I can remember in 40 years. Solid. Yes, teething, but it was new technology. I had issues, but the biggest was range. The standard just didn’t cut it for me...

So I’ve read on Ford’s site that with the Pro Charger, on an 80amp circuit, it can charge a Lightning with an extended range battery at 30 miles per hour. But then, today, another ford site, I read 20. What is it? My Ford Connected Charger with my 2022 standard range would charge as high as...

So I’m seriously considering another Lightning. This time an ER. Likely a Flash. I don’t really need the charger promotion, and would rather take the $2,000 credit. BUT, should I get a Ford Charger? I had the Ford Connected with my SR Lariat, and it did integrate nice with FordPass (then)...

When I was waiting for my turn to order my 2022 Lightning, I would regularly jump On FordPass to compare trips, expected battery usage, and charging locations, to the routes I used for my ICE Ford. It helped me when I finally got my Lightning, because I kind of pre-planned my routes, and...

Level 2 Charger. Sold the Lightning. Don’t need the charger anymore. Make an offer. Pickup preferred. Northern Illinois. Near 60098 zip code. May consider shipping in its original box I still have.

Bought new. Still like new. Put in my 2023 Lightning for a few months. Sold truck. Liner sits in garage. Has to go. Make an offer. Pickup only. Northern Illinois. Near 60098 zip code.

Prior to buying my lightning, I called my insurance provider, who is American Family, and they told me it would cost me $20 a month more to insure the Lightning over the standard King Ranch F150 that I had. So, $240 a year to me was no big deal. Well, cut to six months later, and the premiums...

Ugh. Nothing like your heart sinking after reading your phone and seeing this message… knowing you have to be to a meeting in an hour, and have three more scattered all over the place this same day. Luckily, it had charged up, but red ring syndrome hit, and it will not charge anywhere. So...

If any of you have hung on any other truck forums, you may know I’ve been a big Ford Truck proponent for well over 45 years, owned close 30 Ford trucks, and logged about 2.5 million miles in them. I’ve always thought Ford was #1. Now I’m afraid the Lightning may prove otherwise in the future...

Thanks to this forum for information on snagging my Lightnings high voltage battery state of health. Pleased to see at almost 11,000 miles since August, mine reports 99.5%. Variance between cells is less that 0.02 of a percent. I plan to track it each month and see how it goes. If winter range...

Took the Lightning up to Northern Wisconsin this past weekend to get some woods exercise. Travel up I-90 from Rockford, IL to North Central Wisconsin was okay. 300 miles, three fast chargers (350kW) was a no brainer. Added about an hour over a gasser. Expected. Return trip along the other...

I may be the exception here, but after feeling like I was duped into thinking Ford actually was making an affordable electric truck for the working man, and not some darn yuppie or DINK group, I’m pist off. Ford sang praises that the Lightning would start at $39,995, or whatever the figure was...

Brand new (unopened box) Extang Solid Fold 2.0. Fits 5-1/2 foot bed. I don’t need two covers… only reason for selling. New $925. Asking $750. No risk. Never used. Never opened. It is new. Pictures are of the same exact model cover on an F-150. Fits 2015 to current.

So I’m trying to locate chargers and super chargers near my day to day locations. I had figured I’d plug in every night at home, but that’s looking like it’s not too good for batteries. So, I’ll need to charge every other day… somewhere. I may be at the office, where they have agreed to...

Thinking about my Lightning purchase, I’m already reaching out to ComEd for service upgrade options. I think in Illinois, the state will pay for 50% of the costs for an electrical upgrade for a charging station for a BEV. But, I already have a 60A breaker feeding a 100A panel in my poke barn...

So, I’m considering that with the mileage I drive monthly, snd gaining a $7,500 tax credit in 2023 for my 2022 Lightning purchased in 2022, I could save about $16,000 in two years. What I can’t seem to find is, how this tax credit works. Is the credit limited to a specific TOTAL number of BEV’s...

I recall watching a Lightning video that showed upon approach to the vehicle, the grille came alive with a bright blue dot traveling along a bar across the grille and over the top half of the blue oval. Now I can’t find it. Is this a marketing gimmick, or will this really be an Easter egg on...

I’m trying to ease my range anxiety before I get prompted to configure my Lightning order. Yes, premature, I know. But, in my travels, I’m using the Ford Pass app to see where stations are that I could use if needed. While I plan to be fully charged before I leave in the morning, I just want...

I’m having trouble relating electric to ICE MPG. It looks like from the miles I log a year, the Lightning could really be a savings for me in fuel costs, but I’m not certain what my electric will cost to charge the Lightning. I’ll only consider the extended range, and talking to two friends who...
