It’s weird that the data is apparently available for the truck to transmit things like if you left a window or door open or if you left it unlocked, etc. If it’s a cost cutting measure then Ford can just introduce “premium” app features like these for like $3.99/month and I’d gladly pay that.

Yeah this is painful. I feel like I need to create my own app at this point.

Pretty straightforward review. It’s cheaper to run compared to its gas cousin, don’t exceed 70mph if you want long battery range, and it’s great at truck stuff. I don’t understand the rear view camera complaints though. Mine always comes on in reverse. Never had an issue with that. For safety I...

If we put the shifter on the column then we may as well go all the way and remove the entire center console and put in a bench seat!

Floor mat should have a click snap in connector for this reason. Although sometimes these break off when removing them to clean. But these sudden acceleration stories do have me a tad concerned. I’ve seen at least 4 or 5 separate incidents being reported at this point. Tiny number but still...

I just noticed that on the web page for the future Enphase BiDirectional EVSE, they now have a Technical Video and it shows a guy plugging in a Lightning with it. It's at the 1 min 28 seconds point in the video. Trying not to get my hopes up but this looks really interesting...

Are you asking because you’re wondering about swapping from a smaller pack to a bigger pack?

I like the blue color, but I had hoped Ford was working on a Lightning with higher ground clearance and better approach angles. Still, it’s good to see Ford throwing a bone to the Lightning in any way possible right now.

I believe this about the brake dust. When I swapped my wheels for winter wheels last time I was expecting my hands to be covered in brake dust as usual. But there was ZERO. It was like the wheels were brand new day 1. Very shocked to see that.

From what I understand in layman’s terms is that it’s mostly time and not miles that degrade the EV battery. ICE folks are always concerned about how many miles are on the engine. But with EVs, especially the Lightning, you could drive it 500,000 miles in 5 years and it’s fine. However, if the...

I’ll say I’m finally starting to see a few more Lightnings in my area of MA.

so still no ability to know if my truck is locked. Got it. 👍

The Lightning comes in as the 5th cheapest to insure. I was surprised myself when I insured mine. It cost the same as our ICE Toyota Highlander. Cheapest EVs to insure

It’s just too easy for this beast https://www.hotcars.com/ford-f-150-lightning-obliterate-muscle-cars-drag-race/

I believe the 2025’s no longer have a rear differential lock, unless you upgrade to the max tow package. So maybe this variant also adds that back in a non-max tow configuration.

Same. Two buttons I rarely press are the sunroof vent open button and the fold shifter down button.

Lived in rural GA as a kid. That mud is no joke.

Is the Lightning frame and underbody more corrosion protected than a regular F150?

Our other vehicle is a Toyota Highlander so I’ve seen his videos before. They’re usually very good and he is truly a master mechanic.
