  1. Snow tire chains - Anyone used or purchased?

    You should either put chains on the Rear, or on BOTH front and rear. This is something I learned when first driving a front-wheel drive car. If you put chains only on the front and then you put on the brakes your rear wheels will have little control and can easily cause you to spin around...
  2. Stolen Spare Tire - Two Questions

    It's funny, I initially think "how could I drive around without a spare", but then thinking back to the last truck I had for 10+ years there was one time I went to lower the spare ... only to find that the mechanism had frozen up and I had to go to the dealer to get the tire out and pay for a...
  3. Ford Needs to Promote Two Pedal Mode to First Time EV Buyers.

    I agree that it's what you get used to ... I used to drive a vanpool and got used to driving smoothly so I wouldn't wake up my co-workers at every stop light or exit ramp. With 1PD you can easily adjust your foot to adjust your speed. Going down a hill you can go just the speed you want...
  4. What the frunk?

    Then how do we frunk-gate if we have our electric hotdog cooker and stereo plugged in for a long time? Hmm, I guess I need to learn where that manual latch and fuse box are.
  5. HV battery range seems very low after AC charging

    I just did a test of the Guess-o-Meter processing :) I always charge at home, but we were doing a trip to Mt Baker (NW Washington state), staying at a hotel nearby. Charged it up to 100% (of course I had to manually control this telling it when to start so that it would get to 99.999 just...
  6. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    @StevenC56 Had already agreed to buy a 2021 BMW 530e from my brother when I got my Lightning (Buzz Lightning that is), so now I have a BEV and a PIH. I drive the Lightning because it cost less than driving the BMW :) Love it.
  7. CNBC: Where do EV batteries go when they die? (Yes, they can be recycled!)

    He has recycled his books to be shelf brackets/supports - and his typewriter to be a piece of art :)
  8. EV Batteries Can Outlast A Vehicle’s Lifetime With Minimal Degradation, Study Finds

    Let's see ... I had to replace the whole %^&$# engine in my Silverado V8 with 150,000 miles! And then a tree fell on it ;)
  9. Has anyone downsized their winter tires?

    Curious with your winter driving are you using 1-pedal? I'm going from a 4wd Silverado with dedicated winter tires (and a sand bag on each wheel well) last year - to the Lighting. I'm going to get a set of winter tires, I already have spare rims (standard size). Any other suggestions for...
  10. Charging Apps Question

    For your Thanksgiving trip just make sure you stay until the weekend, then you will have your 60 hours to recharge on the 110v adapter :)
  11. Pro Trailer Backup Assist

    I haven't done it but as I understand the 'sticker', it's just to 'train' the truck about that particular trailer. Once you have 'trained' the truck it knows the dynamics of the trailer and can back it up without having the sticker on there anymore. You still have to point the trailer in the...

    Did the Raccoon file any medical claims?
  13. Using backup camera while rear window blocked by tonneau cover

    I'm with you on this, why put the box EXACTLY WHERE THE CAR IS BEHIND YOU??? Let me hit "OK", or put the notice way on the top or bottom. I know when I have the window blocked that it's not a 100% replacement for the actual rear view out the window. I hope FORD is listening to our comments...
  14. Ideas for soft encouragement of 85% charge.

    My friends have a lot in Eastern Washington, in an area where the closest charger is about 30 miles away and right on a highway. They looked into installing 12 charging stations (there is a WA State Program that was offering to cover 25% of the cost). But ran into some big issues with...
  15. Do different Lightning models fast charge at different speeds?

    I’m noticing that the Charger sends 10% more power than the truck receives. On both Ford Charge Pro and Emporia level 1: Per Emporia: 85.5kWh added, truck history: 78 Per Ford: 58.202kWh , truck history 54

  18. BCM Updates, APIM Updates and Walk Away Lock Feature

    Hi guys, I’m only a month into this truck and want to understand. I thought updates just happened automatically (do I need to give the truck access to my Internet?). Where do you see this list of available updates? How do you monitor things like 12v battery 🔋? Is there a list of all these...
  19. Unplugged during DC charging

    The dealer needs to contact Ford, and then you will get an email with a Discount Code. Use that Discount Code to order your charger. You will get an Order Number and then an email that it has shipped. But I did not get any details about shipping. I contacted Parts.Ford a week later and the...
