I've had my Diode Dynamics hitch receiver light for a year now. Very happy with it. The original harness DD sent, did cause a fault (no reverse light) in the truck's taillight the DD light wiring plugged into, but only when the trailer was hooked up electrically. Last Winter, DD sent an...

Winter tires help with snow but they also help a lot with grip in freezing temperatures, even if there is not a flake of snow in the area. Their different rubber compound does the trick. All-season tires harden up in freezing temps and lose a lot of grip. This is BTW why it's not a good idea...

I learned from some pretty wise folks on the Mach E Forum back when I had the Mustang Mach E, that (especially on the all-wheel-drive models), EVs pretty much must have spare wheels the same diameter as their normal OEM wheels, because the wheel half shafts go directly into the electric motor(s)...

I do not think the bolded statement above is correct. The bolding is mine. My 2023 spare is a 20 inch diameter, not-full-width limited-use tire. Its diameter matches the 20 inch OEM wheels' diameter.

Hello - are Your snow Hakkapelitas still available?

A 20 inch wheel with a full-sized tire fits in my spare wheelwell. I know this because I replaced my OEM limited-use spare with a full-sized 20 inch wheel + tire. BTW - I have my OEM spare wheel + tire listed for sale in the Marketplace section. It's been sitting in the shed since last Fall.

...which is why I like my fob, on the Mach E and now on the Lightning. Plus, it has the skeleton key useful for the spare wheel, the glove box and the center console when these things randomly matter.

No sweat. Enjoy Your truck for a long time... it's all that really counts :wink:

Per my post above, "I... ...sprayed AMSOIL HD MP up all over, into every rail opening and joint crevice, into every drain hole including on all (open) doors, and onto every accessible metal surface and into every metal hole. "

+1.

I put the truck, rear then front, up on my trusty Canadian Pro Ramps, crawled under each raised end and sprayed AMSOIL HD MP up all over, into every rail opening and joint crevice, into every drain hole including on all (open) doors, and onto every accessible metal surface and into every metal...

I strongly suggest AMSOIL Heavy Duty Metal Protector. Best stuff out there IMHO. There's an extensive thread on this vs. other undercoatings somewhere on the Gen 14 F150 blog. It can be self-applied albeit with a good fume mask on. My Lightning took about four cans of this stuff a year ago...

Ummm... I'd vote for a choice of "I'd have to be convinced to do this" if such a polling choice were available. In my mind, it's akin to adding a generator to a huge battery on wheels. Just because something can be done is not by itself a reason to do so, hence the "I'd have to be...

Apart from factors beyond the driver's control like distance, temperature, elevation (climbing) and weather, I've found while towing thru many states that the one consistent factor we can always adjust as we choose to our advantage is our vehicle's speed. Sometimes it makes all the difference...

Those who need the OEM spare, full-size limited use wheel + tire, I listed mine in the FOR SALE forum section.

Bump... spare wheel & tire still available.

I bought my OEM wheel on EBay... there are plenty of OEM wheels there sold by people who have upgraded their wheels to a fancy aftermarket set.

I've used the Curt Echo since I got the truck. Have towed with the Echo on the Lightning for altogether about 14 or 15 thousand miles... no problem at all. It also makes it very easy to switch towing vehicles. ...except it is really easy to disconnect the Echo, then get busy with other...

I have 71.5 thousand miles on my Lightning and have been wondering the same question... but so far there's no corner pogo effect yet when I push hard on any corner.

Yes the spare wheel hole can accomodate a full-size OEM wheel and tire. I got one in there. Its TPMS is "silent" until the spare wheel is mounted on an axle and begins to rotate... so there is no worry about whether the truck's display system can, or needs to, read the spare wheel's TPMS...
