  1. 7,600 Miles, 7 National Parks, 1 Spruce Goose with my F-150 Lightning

    Oh, It looks so beautiful, and peacefully quiet. I can hear the birds chirping from here. 🦉:love:
  2. Step on it - hard acceleration is good for your battery health

    Eh, Mine might not make it too long, I'm typically @ or below 70mph, and rarely am driving in an area that I can "light em up". Mostly around town, would hate for things to go sideways, literally and figuratively....
  3. 7,600 Miles, 7 National Parks, 1 Spruce Goose with my F-150 Lightning

    I am so'ooo envious. I have a lil farm, so, there is NO sleeping in and . . NO VACATIONS. I love seeing the travels and what my truck is capable of doing, even if I'm NOT the one able to do it. Keep up the travels, I appreciate the captions and descriptions. Thank you....
  4. Question for California drivers...

    I'll tell you, THAT came in handy durrng the oil embargo in the 70's. They were rationing gas. I don't recall the specifics (Plate ending in odd or even #) But commercial vehicles, TRUCKS were exempt. I was driving a Old 4 banger Datsun (PL521) at the time, made it easy to get gas any day I...
  5. Ford Dealerships refusing service to Ford lightnings.

    Hum, since this subject has been brought up, and I'm reading the thread, the dealer (Fremont Ford) that I bought the truck from just sent me a txt message. "Factory recommended maintenance on my Lightning is due today". I've had it 18 months, just under 6k. They seem to be very proactive, BUT...
  6. Bed camera blue screen

    Hum, sounds familiar, My 06 Taco had the direction/temp display above the rear view mirror, (nice hot spot of the cab) there was a solder connection that would break, thus shutting it off. I pulled it down several times remaking the connection, That problem is now gone due to the truck being...
  7. AWD stopped working at the worst time

    Well, apparently I'm NOT part of the crew that is part of the widely known group. I don't usually get into a situ like that, but a restart will be the first thing I try after changing to the power distribution screen.
  8. I'm glad I have my Lightning....

    Yes, that was my plan when I bought my 06 Taco . . . up to the point that it got totaled...:cry: I will be keepin the lightning for a long, long time
  9. I'm glad I have my Lightning....

    So, in one form you sold it for more than you paid for it, and had it for 2 years. Basically only paying for superfluous stuff, ie. "money factor, acquisition fee, listing costs, accessories" Good deal.......!
  10. I'm glad I have my Lightning....

    WOW, so it's only good for a trip to the grocery store, on Battery. I can't see how that would be worth the extra cost of a PHEV
  11. I charged to 100% and my Lightning said 379 miles!

    Both of my other vehicles (Current 96 Ranger XLT and totaled 06 Taco 4x4 ) did not have any range calculations in the displays, so the GOM is new to me....
  12. I'm glad I have my Lightning....

    Rick, I was wondering what size of battery did the PHEV have. Sounds like it was really meant to be a round towner vehicle.
  13. 5% battery, 10kwh

    Yes, with fingers crossed behind my back, hope it stays that way....
  14. 5% battery, 10kwh

    I think the lowest I have had mine was 15%. As far as calibration, for the last year I have been charging from a 40 or 50% charge to 90%. When I started the GOM was in the 210m range (I have a SR Battery), but the GOM over time has dropped to about 195m. So recently when I charged, I went to...
  15. New F-150 Ad

    Sad, seems like they are hedging their bets on EV's. Still a fair amount of resistance to going all in on EV's
  16. New F-150 Ad

    Yes, I have NEVER seen either of those ad's, But I'll take it . . . OH wait . . .I did, and so glad of that! I got my F-150 EV Lightning! So thanks folks, I have learned some new stuff with this post, and thanks to all the others that post here, I learn new stuff about or truck's every time I...
  17. New F-150 Ad

    It' funny . . .Ford Has a ad specifically stating the Ford F-150 Hybrid, But NOT an Ad specifically for the Lightning, and . . . they did not refer to it as a PB. Which is why I posted (Not familiar w/a PB) sorry
  18. New F-150 Ad

    Hey there, back again. This time I just saw an Ad on CBS regarding a F-150 HYBRID. Not a ICE, Not a Lightning this was a Hybrid, I have NOT heard of this. Honestly, I would have still, jumped from the ICE to the Lightning. I searched here in the forum for F-150 Hybrid and got nothing, so I'm now...
  19. Leave plugged in?

    I was under the impression that the LVB is only charged when the truck is "on" (Foot on the Brake, Start Butting Pressed), hence the the problem of low battery voltage during OTA updates. Please correct me if I'm wrong, again. And If I am wrong . . when IS the LVB charged?
