How about the "plan B" option... (20) years ago, I recall slip on mirror extensions. Seems like a simple solution, but I cannot find anything for a 2021 F-150. Has anyone on here found slip on mirror extensions that work well?

I have the AM radio option now as well. There are about 9 AM stations with a strong signal in my area (strong enough for my 2018 Fusion and 2021 Bronco to lock on when searching) - but the Lightning won't pick up anything, it scans the entire AM band, then repeats. Next chance I have I will...

Check your tire pressure... make sure the tires are not overinflated. If you want a cushy ride with an unladen bed, drop the rear tire pressure 1 or 2 PSI. Then, when you need to haul 2000# of firewood, you can reinflate the tires. Much easier/cheaper/faster than changing springs. OR - make...

I miss the ability to enter self service actions in the service history (tire rotations, accessory installations, etc.) This is not limited to my Lightning, the option is also gone for my Bronco, Fusion, and Escape. Service that I did myself and previously recorded now shows as "previous owner."

To answer the original question - is it cheaper? In my use case, Y E S !!! I'm sure there are 18000 ways that this is not a 'fair' comparison, but here is what I've learned towing. Every summer I need to tow a 7000# high top enclosed utility trailer about 14 times. Drive to where the trailer...

I bought a Lectron J1772 to Tesla adapter and keep it in my center console. It is convenient, but it will be a LONG time before it pays for itself. > It will NOT work with Tesla Superchargers (DC fast charge aka L3 charging.) > All of the Tesla charge options that I've seen at The Wa are...

Agreed! I got the paper love letter from Mother Ford via US Mail, made the appointment with my Ford dealership (who is a good one), they confirmed that my VIN was included. FoMoCo sent the small mat, not the big mat for those with plain jane sound systems. My service advisor is taking this up...

Nazareth Ford is doing the software update for me next week. The language on the back side of the notice about not acting quickly may void warranty convinced me to not wait for OTA. They're also installing the new dashboard tray.

I installed the Ford in channel visors VML3Z-18246-F. No trimming needed, and they fit very well. They were challenging to install, especially the front visors. I recommend practicing the install prior to removing the tape covering the adhesive. There is a tiny tab that has to go behind the...

Hi! The first serious thunderstorm rolled in as I pulled into the driveway today. Whenever I get home, the Lightning gets plugged in, until today.... A couple of years ago I had a lightning strike on my property and it fried my cable TV connected devices and everything connected to my...

Hi! My 23 is a magnet for bird droppings. This past weekend I washed it on Friday. Saturday morning, the driver's door and window were covered in bird droppings. Not one or two spots, COVERED. I needed to use a rag to open the door. Washed again on Saturday. Sunday morning, same thing...

Been lurking on this thread... While installing seat covers on the Lightning today it occurred to me that the Lightning front headrests are similar to the tilting headrests on the 2021 Bronco... Confirmed!!! 2021 Bronco FE 2 door tilting headrests fit a 2023 Lightning XLT, no mods, drops right...

Same here - Samsung Galaxy S22 S901U. The issue happens for me whether I am connected to the truck wireless or via USB-C. Outgoing calls only - the caller can hear me, but I cannot hear the caller. If the caller calls me back all is well. If I initiate the call on the phone instead of the...

Got my permanent registration today. The dealer registered it for 7000#, not the 8250# GVWR. I'm interested to know what others have for their registered max weight. The truck weighs 6050#. It has 5 seats, and Pennsylvania calculates each passenger as weighing 150#, regardless of what they...

Texas Dan, Pennsylvania Wilmer says you nailed it. Lightning owners need to voice charging station issues with the charging provider directly in order to receive action and issue remediation. Yes, it is good that we hear about issues on this site, but in order to get issues with specific...

Good luck! When I converted in Sept, the onboard scales/smart hitch removal was required. I haven't been following 2023 options since then, but I think it is unlikely that Ford would pull the option in Sept and add it back 4 months later. I've never had onboard scales or a smart hitch and got...

Hi - that's how I got my 2023 XLT. I had to allow my dealer to take over the reservation and 'give up' my ability to order online. It worked out fine. The language used to describe the process made me a little hesitant, but at the time (Sept 2022) I was locked in to that dealer anyway because...

I agree, these are a great value - I keep a couple of these in the shop and 1 in each vehicle for when somebody needs to borrow a recovery strap. The $10 price keeps my blood pressure down when they return it as a muddy knotted mess.

Took my 2023 XLT through the car wash a few days ago after being bombed by a flock of geese. No issues with neutral, no water intrusion. I keep the antenna off because I mostly use Sirius or stream Amazon music. I kept the plastic antenna plug that usually gets tossed during prep and leave...

I ordered the hood deflector from accessories.ford.com along with some other items. Everything except the hood deflector arrived at my dealer's parts dept. Parts dept said that the Lightning specific hood deflector isn't available yet. They're usually good with the info that they pass along.
