They shut down the factory for a reason; it's not profitable. It seems pretty obvious to me the last Lightning has been produced. It doesn't matter if it's a great vehicle. There isn't a path to profitablity. It would be one thing if it was on the same assembly line as the other F150s. Maybe it...

Ford extended the warranty. My understanding is it's a flawed design. Presumably, the extended warranty got the affected vehicles closer to the end of their normal useful life.🤷

The writing was on the wall when they "paused" production. The Lightning has never made money and has no realistic path to profitablity. It was a fun experience and I appreciate Ford subsidizing my truck. It's still an F150; maintenance support should be fine. Resale...eh, probably not great...

I don't think parts availability will be as big an issue as you do. Lightning is a trim level of the F150 and shares an overwhelming number of components, including modules. Even the center screen is shared with the Expedition. There have been about 100,000 Lightnings built. It's not exactly a...

Are you Early Access? If you are, contact Ford about this glitch. People who have been using swipe gestures would never have noticed this.

Why? Is your daily commute five miles beyond your current range?

I'm still waiting for someone to tape up their wheels and report the affect on efficiency. Alas...

The actuators were replaced with genuine Ford parts. Both were broken on impact and unable to be reused. They worked fine for a while then stopped working in the down position. The dealership looked at them and determined both were dead. Seems unlikely to me but the service rep said he's seen...

A tire tread took out my air dam. Both actuators were broken as others have also experienced. The body shop replaced all broken parts. A couple months later I noticed the air dam was always deployed. There were no DTCs or other indication that something was wrong. My dealership replaced both...

If 74° isn't comfortable, set it to a higher number. MAX defrost clears windows quickly. For best comfort turn the HVAC on before you get in the truck. If you leave at the same time every day you can set a departure time. Yours isn't the first thread focusing on how owners WANT the system to...

You can review the maintenance schedule in the Ford app as well.

I bet $1 you have a broken ground wire in the trailer wiring. The trailer/receiver connection will make a ground connection most of the time but as soon as it doesn't the truck detects the trailer has been disconnected and you get the message. On an older truck, you'd never know you have a...

Maybe a valet mode glitch? I'd try a Sync reset then cycle valet mode again. If it's mechanical, you could try applying pressure to the tailgate as you press the open button. Do you have a bed cover and/or something in the bed that could have shifted against the gate?

Thank you.

Did you try a Sync reset first? That usually clears up glitches on the center screen. If you aren't familiar, holding down volume down and next track on the steering wheel for about 10 seconds forces a Sync reset.

I think so, but it's not something I was aware of since I rarely charge away from home.

Works on my '22. I used 2 and E. How it works is interesting. The bed outlets seem to work any time now when I press the ON button on the panel. I think the outlets in the truck only work with the truck off when the toggle switch is ON. The toggle switch reverts to OFF when the power is cycled...

Have you tried this? My truck is fully up-to-date thanks to a dealer who thought that was a good way to troubleshoot a bad battery module. This seems like a nice feature.

They fixed the active shutter but it requires owners to not care about leaves. I don't care at all about leaves and have never had an issue with it.😆

I can provide a data point. I don't have my A/C on my backup panel. I don't recall if it was even possible or just not possible with everything else I wanted powered. At any rate, I deemed refrigerators, freezers, furnace, Internet, and TVs to be more important for my situation. My truck can...
