  1. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    Going to drive mine for at least a decade God willing, then "convert" it at truck retirement to a mobile backup battery. The 131kW battery in the Lightning is the equivalent to 10 Tesla PowerWall+'s. Even if it loses 20% of capacity, it would still be 8 of them. Those things are about 10k...
  2. Level kit installed - better range?

    Yeah sorry I haven’t reported in lately. Got in a fender bender where some college dude tried to force his way into my lane and effectively performed a pit maneuver on himself using the front of my truck. Totaled his accord, minor damage on the front on the Lightning. Cracked the headlight...
  3. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    Want to give credit where it is due, so this goes to @Hamtech. With the truck on, hold the Volume down and advance button (arrow pointing right) at the same time on the steering wheel until sync reboots. This is handy when for whatever reason your Apple carplay connects, but no sound is...
  4. Level kit installed - better range?

    I'll try to take some pics. I did raise the front, but I didn't touch the back (like cowtown). Only installed 2 in the front so it's more level. Just installing the front also fixed the floatiness.
  5. Level kit installed - better range?

    Installed them about a month ago, on Sept 20th. I did have them installed. I didn't want to deal with compressing the spring. These shocks were only installed in the front. Eibach shocks cost $278, Install was $300, alignment was $120.
  6. Level kit installed - better range?

    So, I driven about 1200 miles on the Eibach shock level, part # E60-35-061-01-10, and I got to say so far so good. I set them at 2" of lift, which leaves about 1/2" of rake. You can set them so they raise the front up to 2.5", but I kept under the maximum setting with hopes of softening up the...

  8. Help: Can't Decide - Tire Replacements

    That's right, only the level, no new shoes yet. I've got 22k on the OEM tires, hope to get to 25k. I live in Georgia, so it's not like I need to get them switched out quickly to beat the winter snows 😜 As far as cost, I paid $278 for the shocks directly from Eibach, with free shipping from...
  9. Help: Can't Decide - Tire Replacements

    I did a bit of research and had settled on the Toyo Open country A/T III EV's, but put on a level kit and wanted to see how that impacted range for a few thousand miles prior to swapping out the tires. Interestingly enough, so far (1,000 miles in) the Eibach level kit (part #E60-035-61-01-10)...
  10. How to hard [Reset/Reboot] Sync system?

    This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for posting the question and specifically thanks @Hamtech for the concise answer. I have a problem where everything turns on and carplay connects, but for whatever reason no sound will come through the speakers occasionally. This includes music...
  11. Lighting Aftermarket Bumper Upgrades - Options?

    Did you find any good aftermarket front bumpers? I had a college kid perform a self pit maneuver using my front bumper last week. Scratched up my rim and bumper, (totaled his accord). But this is my chance to customize if I can find something I like. I liked the sinister but I hear it’s...
  12. Wireless Charging Pad - Ford, you can do better

    I'm going out to the truck for lunch right now and see if I can figure it out in the menus, but other than turn the truck off and back on, how does one reboot sync?
  13. Seeking Help and Advice for My Troublesome Ford F150 Lightning Platinum

    well regardless of the "troll" nature of the post, I will be unplugging my phone charging wires hooked up for my kids occasional tablet use next time I get in my truck. Two separate peeps seem to have a similar problem, admittedly with very different results.
  14. Is the Official Ford Motor Company account for issues/repairs on this forum legit?

    In my case they got the dealership to add troubleshooting a problem to the docket at the next service visit. The results of which were "the dealership couldn't recreate" the problem. Basically they got it noted on the official record. You know how in dealerships you don't get to talk directly...
  15. 12v Battery Issue

    I recommend carrying one of these, both to jumpstart your vehicle as well as other vehicles. Also works as a somewhat portable charger for your phone if you are hunting/fishing/camping and don't want to leave the phone behind in the truck. Noco Boost X My dealership called me early this week...
  16. Charge pro station yellow light after only 30 mins of charge

    I had the same issue, with it tripping during the summer at the 80A charging rate. Garage temp was north of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Like many of the posters on this thread, I noticed the cord from the Ford Charge Station Pro (FCSP) to the truck was physically hot a couple of times I caught it...
  17. OEM Wheels - choose between 4 tire options

    Seems like they are getting the other sizes out now. I just got the following quote: The interesting thing is that this larger size is actually lighter than the stock size according to the manufacturer's website. Here is where I got the data...
  18. Low / Medium Cost Audio upgrade

    Where did you mount the new Kicker Hideaway? Did you figure a way to keep it behind the seat, or did it make it out under the rear seats?
  19. Console Safe Vault & Accessories Review

    For those of you that don't want to take up all of the free storage under the arm rest with your vault, here is a half vault version: https://realtruck.com/p/e-g-console-lock-vault/egc-7045-1000-21/?srsltid=AfmBOooOc-AI6PgEhLIxUtbEzlXmN_ebG9cbe4HbSGmosDtAX6NJ6Wdu Works with OEM tray as shown...
  20. Cost to fill up your Lightning?

    Yeah I knew it was more with all the fees and taxes. I don't really count the daily charge of $0.46 cents though, as I am going to be paying that regardless of plan, although you are correct in that I should consider it when bragging about my low power rates as compared to the rest of the...
