Historically, I āve kept ICE vehicles 8 to 14 years, usually 120,000 to 180,000 miles. Always in very good condition as well. Iām 80 now, so my ā22 Lariat is probably my last truck as long as it stays reliable. If not, might do a smaller EV. Also have 2023 PHEV, so maybe not.
I have SR Lariat. Recently towed an 700 lb trailer empty about400 miles at I5 speeds. Went from average 2 mi/kwh to about 1.8. Loaded for return trip with 1200 lb load. āMileageā dropped to average of about 1.6 mi/kwh. Note, starting elevation 4,200 ft, down to sea level - returned to 4,200...
Great in the snow and ice here. Use the third driver mode, without one pedal, for slippery weather driving. I bought mine in Alabama year ago December. Drove cross country to Oregon in some pretty bad weather for my very first trip. Truck was awesome, had some dc charging adventures in...
SR Lariatabout perfect, even up here near Klamath Falls when typically pretty cold and snowy winter. Charge at home once or twice a week and does well for 30 to 40 mile trips to tow. Have towed to Bay Area couple times, but still all good with stop or two for DCFC. For longer road trips, PHEV...
Iām looking to LOWER front be up to 2ā. Have lowered rear with their shocks, but cannot seem to find combination si,liar front lowering. Any updates in this area?
Last winter I went from Muscle Shoals to Klamath Falls Oregon in new Lariat SR. We traveled via Chicago for Christmas Party and stayed with northern routes home. Lowest temps -4Ā° in Midwest, otherwise around freezing and lotās of snow. I typically got 1.8to 2.1 m/kwh. We ran 70 mph on dry...
Iāve used Toyo Open Country tires on several vehicles and they were great. 2002 GMC Sierra, 2010 F150, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Highlander. I live in southern Oregon Cascades (4200 ft el) and these tires were great in the snow and ice. Will certainly look into for my Lightning.
MTcowpoke, great post. Do you ever have air dam problems? Mine tends to freeze from road slop when temp gets well below freezing here in Oregon Cascades. This winter I removed it as I do garage mine and donāt like all the ice and mud from the front thawing and making a real mess. All else...
I have similar situation as Pioneer, FCSP app has issues more than weekly, but Emporia on Volvo no problems whatsoever, so far. I donāt even try anymore with FCSP App any more. Ford Pass works fine through the truck.
