The Lightning successfully replaces a minivan and 4 door 8 ft bed truck. I could not economically drive the old truck as a daily driver, hence the minivan. The Lightning does everything really well but I really miss the 8 ft bed. Just another 6 inches or foot would be so nice. Two pallets of...

I would gladly give up rear back seat space for a longer bed. Everything else about the bed is fine. I especially like the step that pulls out of the tailgate.

Mine are fine, but now that I’ve noticed, they are quite fragile. I can see how they could be easily broken!

I had the same problem with my 23XLT. The problem was an assembly under dash that was recalled through August 2023. My truck was built September 2023. After negotiations with Ford, they paid 70 percent. I was satisfied.

My 23 XLT lost heat and it ended up being the unit under the dash and the estimate was $2700 (est). I did some research and discovered the part was recalled but recall covered up to August 2023 and my truck was built September 2023. After talking with Ford explaining that my truck only missed...

Yea, I just assumed my 23XLT would have a garage door opener. Not! Power tailgate and Frunk but no garage door opener! Good thing I found a remote that came with the opener after 15 years!

I’ve used mine a few times, via a simple generator transfer switch and generator plug. (I had to jury rig the neutral to get around the Truck GFI)

I lost the door (only) on my 23 and had to buy the entire assembly to get the door. I then removed the door from the new part and installed it onto the truck. I’m guessing you will have to buy an entire 25 door assembly!

I am at 47k miles and I feel comfortable driving them through the coming Pennsylvania winter. They are Goodyear. I am quite satisfied.

My 23L has had a wrench for a couple months, due to shifter failure. It was replaced a year ago via recall but has gone up again. Problem is parts on back order. It is now on repair schedule!

FYI: my charge station pro quit. I opened it up and water poured out. The gasket was installed correctly. Even though it dried out, it never came back to life. I’m using the charger that came with the truck via a 220v plug I had installed for moments like this.

One last thing, on long new territory trips, I have taken a road map and color code marked Tesla and EA charger locations. So, as things evolve, you can glance at the map to make changes on the fly. The map will not replace the Aps but just provides a big picture that includes only what is...

When I am confront with a diehard EV hater, I put my hand on their shoulder, smile, and say, “before you die you will own an EV and you know what, you are going to like it”. The smile is important. This should not be political, but they have made it so. P.S. I was also one of the first people...

EVs are not political, but money minded people fearing lost profits in fossil fuels have made it political. That said, I know people who won’t even look at or ride in an EV, and I have to wonder why? (I think they are afraid they will like it.) Makes no sense to me.

you are absolutely correct, and Stellantis is in the worst case financially.and was afraid to risk any more cash. But the same pressures I mentioned earlier are affecting all Manufacturers. It will be a sad day if Ford were to pull the plug on the MME or Lightning.

The cancellation of RAM EV is bad for EVs in general. I believe it is the result of negative political pressure that has been present for anything that doesn’t use fossil fuel. I personally was a MOPAR supporter and finally gave up waiting and bought my 23 Lightning to replace my 2007 RAM 2500...

The easy way to calculate fuel savings is: Lightning EPA rating 70 mpg, typical 1/2 ton truck EPA rating 15 mpg. That would save you about 80%. So can you imagine spending $20 instead of $100 every time you fill up your ICE? When we got our first EV (MME 100mpg EPA) we didn’t notice our...

I rolled the dice and decided to pass on any extended warranty. My 22 MME already has 67k miles and my 23Lightning has 46k miles, and most extended warranty’s don’t go past 110k miles. When you consider the cost of extended warranty on 2 vehicles, and the money saved due to fuel and maintenance...

Did you have to do anything to prevent the truck GFI from tripping? I had to remove the ground wire at the generator connector to stop the Truck GFI from tripping.

When I encounter an EV denier, I put my hand on their shoulder, smile, and say “before you die, you will own an EV, and when you do, you are going to love it!”
