I really appreciate everyone's responses. Thank you all for taking the time to help me!
I adjusted the time to 1 am in the truck instead of the app, and adjusted the target from 100% to 90%. There was no change yesterday. Because I wasn't paying attention to this, my electric bill showed that I...
Please forgive me if this topic exists already. I've seen this in the past here but now I can't find it via search.
See screenshots below. I have the preferred charge times set for off peak hours between midnight and 2 pm but the truck is illiterate and waits to charge until 2 pm- the complete...
Yes it has been on a lift and they haven't been able to see the problem. Its just a tiny shift in the paneling that makes a loud noise like when you squeeze an aluminum soda can. It's worse in cold weather. They said there isn't any damage, it's just a panel that maybe isn't as strong as it's...
*Update*
Took my truck into the dealership last weekend. After a few days of working on it, they couldn't replicate the sound so I took the tech on a drive. Within a minute, the aluminum crunching noise happened and the tech told me in 20 years of working on Ford trucks, he's never heard a sound...
I also came from a Mach E GTPE. I agree with all your points- the physical buttons, the clunky design and seeming fragility of the larger screen. Through my Android, I'm able to watch VLC and YouTube on my vehicle screen while and not while driving, and for road trips, the larger higher...
I have a Lightning XLT with the small dashboard screen. I've seen various 3rd party screens available for the F150 but all of them are only compatible up to 2021 models. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a solution to upgrade to a larger screen including the possibility of purchasing the OEM...
Thanks for the reply! I thought that maybe it might be related to the cold as well but it seems like it doesn't matter whether it's cold or not. It's VERY loud and the truck's body is made of aluminum. I'm thinking it's one of the aluminum panels under the truck shifting and wondering if any...
Hi all! '23 XLT Lightning SR owner for about a year now. About a month ago, I started hearing an intermittent sound once every 20-30 minutes coming from under the driver's side. The best I can describe the noise is like a loud aluminum soda can crunching. It sounds like aluminum is popping in...

I also don't have the stock road tires. I've got 17" wheels with 34" All-Terrain Nitto Grapplers with a 2" lift on the front tires. I can't get 120 miles on the highway with a 100% charge. Luckily there are plenty of level 3 charge stations on the way and I just stop and charge...
I have a standard range XLT and regret not having the extended range. My truck says 100% and 235 miles of range, but I'm not able to get to my parents' house 120 miles away when driving 80 mph on the highway. If I show down to about 65 mph, I can make it with about 5 miles to spare, but the...
I'm wondering if it's possible to unlock the additional extended battery horsepower on the standard range Lightning through FORScan since it's clearly just a software setting.
Thank you for the reply. This helps. After sleeping on it and everyone's input, I think I'm going to go with the Lightning or a less expensive Mach E. I paid almost $80k for my GTPE. I may just go for a $40k Mach E instead.
Thanks for the responses everyone. After posting this, I've had at least a dozen PMs from Lighting owners that have needed HVJB replacement. There is a thread here: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/powertrain-malfunction-reduced-power.12873/
I just want a reliable EV so I think...
2022 Mustang Mach E GTPE owner here. I just had my third High Voltage Junction Box replaced in less than a year. Each time, my car is in the shop for 6 weeks. Ford has offered to buy my car back for the $72k I originally paid.
I'm considering the Lightning. I know the Lighting and MME share...
