I'm also interested since this past hurricane proved the Lightning can save lives and make things comfortable during an emergency.

Very interesting to hear your EV road tripping stops were lining up with the F350's stops. Congrats at the purchase! The Lightning is so comfortable for every day and long distance trips. I'm curious about the next generation and how they relate to cars. The Mustang has this brand nostalgia...

Not my video. I'm not the video owner. Youtuber shows some clips of using his Lightning to power the home using the ProPower Onboard. The first 3 mins has all the Lightning experience. Most of the video is devoted to showing the devastation, getting gas, checking up on neighbors, a run to the...

Summary: F150 Lightning spotted at Yosemite with a Yosemite National Park decal. The vehicle is owned by a concession vendor contracted though the National Park. The Lightning is not an official government vehicle...

Great job being that example for others. Glad the Lightning is caring for you, your family, and neighbors.

Cool safety monitoring device. Thank you for sharing. Great to have recommendations from experts like yourself.

48 amps x 240 volts = 11 kW per hour. A Lightning ER battery is 131 kWh. 131 kWh / 11 kW = 11.4 hrs charge time on a 48 amp charger connected to a 60 amp circuit breaker. Not 20-24hrs. To get 20-24 hrs charge time, that means a charge speed of 5.5kW-6.5kW. Those are weird amp breakers to...

Looks like the Blink generator is commercial only. You know it costs something when they put "ask for a quote". https://blinkcharging.com/products/mobile-charger I did come across a AAA Lighting one time. The driver told me he did use the Lighting Pro Power to charge EVs before. That was...

Here's the report back. The rear moonroof seal replacement is a huge job. I was told an 8 hr job. The notes say it involved removing the curtain airbags and side airbags among other things. I can see the driver handle was dug into with a screwdriver to open up the panel. The technician...

AAA has a report on their gas generators to charge EVs. You might find inspiration or products they use interesting. They were testing Blink mobile generators. Gen 1 and Gen 2. Looks like Gen 2 delivers 11kW, so that would be more appropriate (ie. faster) for charging the Lightning...

I have never seen this color. Is it rare? A Lariat is for sale on Recharged. https://www.recharged.com/Used/2022/Ford/F-150-LIGHTNING/1FT6W1EV3NWG02821/

Edmunds has a great search for new and used, and car price checker from sales data. ISeeCars is a decent search engine as well. Has a blurb about how good of a deal it is based on sales data. Little digging needed to get the actual dealer website or name from it. New and used. JDPower car...

https://lightningcalcs.pages.dev/ Looks a uncomfortably tight from the numbers, but doable with 100%, 2.4mi/kWh, flat road, no wind, 55-65mph. Basically an ideal day. You would have to be guaranteed there is a charger at your meetup destination. There's no room for error or bad conditions. I...

Not quite sure where to put this. Ford announced the Ranger PHEV. Looks like for Europe only. Interesting to see the Ranger get an 11.8kWh battery. The battery can charge at 16amps/240amp/3.8 kW, that would take less than 4 hrs to charge. Ford Pro Debuts Ranger PHEV Set to Revolutionise...

Thanks! I shows them the picture. It was a no questions asked "we'll order it and take care of it" warranty repair. The attitude felt like a concerned "the gasket shouldn't be doing that". I'm satisfied with the customer service at my service center. When I get the receipt I'll let you know the...

Is Trip Planner separate from the nav plotting the charging stops?

Getting this repaired under warranty. 24k miles on the truck. Waiting for the gasket to come in. I found this thread and thought to take a look at mine just in case. Glad I did. Hope this helps some else...

Zone lighting was nice. I was able to load my bike the the dark when I got back to the truck. Didn't interrupt the task of loading up. Just whipped out the phone and activated the lights. It's a good convenience feature. I think I'll use it more for camping lights. The trip planner is the...

I was scared off by the reviews that said that the plastic degraded under the sun. I also did not like the frontal blockage of the air vent. The Cravenspeed Platypus front license plate is made of metal, made in USA. It's installed on the side, so the main air vent is unobstructed. It doesn't...

Here's a better front license plate holder. https://www.cravenspeed.com/the-platypus-license-plate-mount-2/
