I knew it had to be something like this with the repeated failure after failure people some people experience. It’s a really long plastic bar so I imagine just even the slightest over torque will cause cracking.
My hope is still that Ford offers the next Lightning in two flavors - pure electric, or EREV version. Both could be assembled at the same plant I would imagine if they share as much of the design as possible between the two.
Things you would expect are mentioned in here. But still no details yet on the actual vehicle Ford is planning.

Probably not a surprise to anyone here. Consumer Reports finds the Lightning range is 270mi vs the EPA rated 320mi when traveling at highway speeds (70mph, 2022 extended range lariat)...
Yeah it’s strange for sure. Happened to me again today when I tried charging from 85% to 100%. During the charge session it said I added 29kwh. But later when I checked the charge history in the app it said I only added 21kwh. It seems to be related to that “last mile” of charging from the high...
Got this update the other day. Been driving around and no real issues other than my startup dings have vanished completely. Guessing they’ll be back.
I still see the two recalls in my app for the “truck might roll away and squish someone” and the
“your trailer brakes may decide to randomly stop...
So I’ve noticed this happening more often lately and I’m not sure why. When I’m charging on level 2 for several hours the FordPass app shows I’m getting X number of KWh’s as added energy. Then later, after I’ve stopped charging I look in the charging history of the app. For that same session the...
I haven’t seen this particular video yet but I’ve seen several other @Trucked Up EVs videos and I appreciate the coverage of the Lightning, critical or not. Usually the forum isn’t this cranky but maybe someone switched the office coffee to decaf and didn’t tell anyone. Personally I’m looking...
Doh! I did this same thing in a different vehicle years ago with a back pocket flathead screwdriver. As others noted, eBay may be your best bet. Or maybe @Martin Rebuilds has some ideas.
