I know some of us paid a lot over MSRP, but even if you didn't, the values of our trucks (along with most other EV) have tanked since 2022. I originally put nothing down on a 74k MSRP truck. Can't really afford to pay any more monthly to get on the other side of this. I'm roughly 25k underwater...
no real complaints about the Lightning, but how I use my truck (runs to Home Depot and picking up random stuff), I think I'd be better off with a fully enclosed bed. The E-Transit seems reasonable, but I would then get something more sensible for parking in cities. I saw the new Disney 100 IONIQ...
I woke up to another modem bug fix release this morning. Such a disappointment. It's getting really old hoping for actual new features and instead just seeing all these modem updates. I thought my Rivian was bad with software but they're at least getting features. My wife's Tesla has had major...
When I login on the app it tells me to accept their Terms and Privacy Policy. I click yes and it just says I don't have internet right now (I do). When I try the website Ford.com, I get the terms notice popup after logging on. When I click Accept it kicks me out asking me to login again. Around...
SoCal - OEM Lightning Running Boards with integrated lights for zone lighting. Hardware included. They need a cleaning, but otherwise no noticeable scrapes or scratches from what I can see.
Pickup Only - $500
I'm familiar with the coding process with BMW, but I don't really want to go down the rabbit hole with Ford programing. Thinking I'd rather just pay someone a few bucks. Anyone in SoCal offering FORscan programing services?
I found this KM Motors branded center console cover on Amazon and got it to protect the lid vinyl from my dog's nails. It's pretty thick and comfortable, but it does mean the work surface cannot entirely lay flat. It is easy enough to remove and reinstall, so I plan to remove it when I need the...
Our XLTs and Pro trims don't have a sliding rear window. Not even an option for us unfortunately. I had an aftermarket manual sliding window installed yesterday. It's the same glass size from the previous generation F150. I wanted the window for trips to Home Depot. I haul around 2x4s and pipe...
The Pro's 18's are the way to go IMO, lighter, more sidewall, cheaper replacement tire. So I swapped my XLT's 20's with the stock 18's. Would have ordered from the factory like this if it was an option. I swapped the TPMS out of my 20's into these so I didn't have to reprogram them. However the...
SoCal Takeoff's - 20" OEM Gray Lightning Wheels off a XLT+ with 3,420 miles on them. Not a scratch on there from what I see.
Including an extra set of TPMS and Lugs I got from the guy I bought the replacement wheels from. I ended up reusing my existing ones so we didn't have to program the TPMS...
Well sorta thought I'd be able to slide under the radar having debadged my Lightning but seems not. While charging its a given but didn't expect it around town in this. Home Depot, at the coffee shop, three times while stopped at lights, grocery shopping. I expected it when I had the Rivian, but...
What's this QR code thing on the windshield on the lower passenger side? is that factory or was it done when I had tint installed? Never seen anything like it. This area was covered up by the original dealer registration sticker prior to having tint installed so I have no idea if it was there...
This mess of plastic spells Lightning somehow. Don't think I'll ever get it to say that again.
Debadged side:
Im going to leave the subtle flag one on the back but already loving the cleaner look from the sides.
I'm pretty happy with the matte finish of this. Seems to keep the finger prints off and was only $20 bucks on Amazon. It installed in 10 minutes and had no issues getting the bubbles out. Its definitely thicker than what the phone protectors are like. It says its real glass. I don't know about...
My truck doesn't "Beep Beep" when I press lock. I want it to. Is this a setting? Can I add this?
I found this system on the Ford site:
https://accessories.ford.com/products/ford-perimeter-plus-vehicle-security-system-21
Will that add Beep Beep to the Lightning?
Ford accessories shop has these: https://accessories.ford.com/products/f-150-2021-black-trailer-tow-mirrors
Thinking these will fit the Lightning that has POWER MIRRORS, MANUAL FOLD, BLIS, and 360 CAMERA. However I see the 360 camera is in a different location on these vs the standard mirrors...
My Lightning just shipped and should be here in less than 3 weeks. Putting this out there if anyone wants to arrange an immediate swap with fresh tries and wheels. Hoping we could just bolt off and bolt on the wheels entirely without removing tires or TPMS. Figure we can find a convenient shop...
Looks like Rivian is getting their Pet Mode soon:
https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rivian-app-update-1-4-1-whats-new.6468/
Fingers crossed Ford gets around to adding this to the Lightning. The truck does already have pre-conditioning right?
Even for when it's cold outside, I'd just...
