  1. Driving in the snow -- stay with Grabbers, Michelin Defenders, snow tires?

    I think that the main reason "pickups are the worst in the winter" is the lack of weight in the back. THIS IS NOT THE CASE for a Lightning! The battery weight is spread across the length of the truck, so a LIGHTNING handles much better in the winter, and in snow. I've owned my 2023 Lariat ER...
  2. Selling because I drive too much.

    Hi There Tom! I wish you all the best! I am like you a little bit, I yearn for the open road . . . . . I've only owned my EV for just over a year, but I drove 1,000's of road-trip miles on my previous ICE trucks . . . . soon I'm going to start road-tripping with my Lightning (I'm thinking...
  3. 20,000 Miles / 33,000 kms - quick review of my Ford Lightning experience!

    Thank you for giving me another opportunity to GUSH about my Lightning. Here are my thoughts about snow in the winter: I bought my Lightning September 2023, so I'm just entering my SECOND winter. My Lightning is the best WINTER truck I've ever owned - and I havn't put Winter tires on it...
  4. 20,000 Miles / 33,000 kms - quick review of my Ford Lightning experience!

    Yes, I purchased the A2Z adapter - I still don't have the free one from FORD, I signed up the next day after it was announced - FORD originally said I would have it in August . . . . I don't have it yet.
  5. 20,000 Miles / 33,000 kms - quick review of my Ford Lightning experience!

    Its just a TV Tray Table from Amazon!!! I am posting a pic instead of the link because I use Canadian Amazon - you'll use American Amazon - and they are different. Just search for one of these:
  6. 20,000 Miles / 33,000 kms - quick review of my Ford Lightning experience!

    Havn't had a single problem! Love this truck. The only time I go to the dealer is when they want to do a software update (I guess not ALL of them can be done "Over the Air OTA"). Yup, thats it. I live in Thunder Bay, ON where its cold. I do NOT have a garage (my Lightning sleeps and...
  7. Lane centering

    I also noticed that it got a lot better after that blue Cruise update they pushed out.
  8. Lane centering

    I also wear bifocals and have no issues with this. Maybe try adjusting your seat up if you are of shorter stature, or lower if you're a tall person.
  9. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    I find it shocking how little the Ford sales people known about their EVS
  10. Connected to Charger Error & Won't Shift Out of Park. Lesson learned: carry a 10mm wrench (to disconnect battery)

    We need to remember our Lightnings are computers. "Its not a problem until its been rebooted". I had a similar thing today: I was pulling a trailer around yesterday - and then after I PARKED the trailer, my Lightning kept telling me every time I started it: "Electric range revised due to...
  11. 1.4 kwh/mi on interstate…disappointed.

    I have a 2023 Lariat ER also - and I experience the same thing. It is pretty amazing how much LESS fuel the Lightning uses dropping from 80 to 70 mph, or even 68. Thats what I do now. I relax and don't speed as much on trips! LOL
  12. Condition Battery While Traveling - Does it Matter

    Thank you so much for that!!! I might check that out next week!
  13. Condition Battery While Traveling - Does it Matter

    Yes. There are two really good fast chargers in Pine City - one at the Circle K and an EA also. I think I could make it all the way to Minneapolis with one charge stop - in the summer time - if I used the Tesla Superchargers in Two Harbours, MN - but the SuperCharger in Tofte is by a nice...
  14. Condition Battery While Traveling - Does it Matter

    Really?!? This is the very first time I'm hearing this that SOME Tesla Superchargers show up on the factory FORD NAV!! Has anyone ELSE witnessed this yet? This gives me hope - maybe they will "trickle in" to ALL of our NAVs over time?
  15. Condition Battery While Traveling - Does it Matter

    The problem with the sync nav is that the Tesla Superchargers don't show up. I live in Canada and drive into Minnesota a lot - often in the winter and its COLD COLD here - so I have NO WAY to precondition my battery when I am planning to stop at to my favorite Tesla Supercharger in Tofte, MN...
  16. Tried really hard to love MY23 Lightning Lariat ER

    I don't have any of those problems with charging, and my wife drives a Mazda MX 30 that I also charge with the Ford Charge Station Pro. I've owned by Lighting for a year and havn't had a single problem with it, or with the Charge station.
  17. Remote Parking/park assist?

    Does anyone know WHY the Lightning doesn't come with Remote Parking? This truck is a technological marvel, it seems strange this one thing isn't included. I wonder if it could be give to us with an OTA update?
