You'll are making me think.

Uuuuu! I'd love to attend along with the dog except it's a long way from Virginia :wink:🐶 Thanks Brian!

Good suggestions by locals, in the above posts. I'll add my general suggestions to help mitigate the OP's range anxiety: 1. Traction battery range is greatly dependent on: - the driver's lead foot, or lack of it. When in any doubt, SLOOOW DOWN including all the way to the next charging...

In my multiple cross-country and long distance trips, I've found EVGo to be one of the most bombastic, "we know better" charging networks. I appreciate the heads-up about the credit ("free" is a great price) yet I'll go to EVGo only if there aren't alternatives on my route.

...and my Mach E was indeed an early 2022 model. Thanks!

Hmmm... I seem to remember although it's been about two years now, that my Premium trim Mach E's 15-inch screen did have this feature as well. My memory might be in error here though... As the APIM is the APIM, it would seem that the toggle button should indeed be activatable through FORScan...

As I mentioned in my post above, while the glass replacement is easy to do it's even easier with two people, one on each side of the door. Good luck!

IMHO and from personal experience, using Winter tires is more about the cold temperatures and the much softer Winter tire compound that doesn't harden when it's cold (i.e. "a good grip" in icy conditions, even without any snow on the road) than about the relatively small risk of snow-digging.

I replaced a cracked front passenger door glass myself this Winter. 1. These door windows are double-pane glass, for better noise control. See the very top edges of the front door windows to confirm this on Your truck. This is why they are expensive. I used a Ford OEM window glass. 2...

Of course. See my the attached pix below.

I got the Walk-away Lock on my 2023 XLT when my dealership also updated the BCM for free, about 9 - 10 + months ago or so. FYI - my Lightning's Walk Away Lock functions well to lock, but about only 80% of the time. it seems to depend which door, and how many doors and accessory openings get...

^^^ YES ^^^ ...and some of our trailers are a perfectly good 17 feet 🤣

A propos of Ford's likely EV truck market segment aim: had an all-electric Maverick or Ranger been available in 2024 I probably would have bought one rather than the Lightning. Of course, Ford had to start somewhere, and my Lightning has served me very well other than in downtown high-rise...

it's not in an expected place, like in the VEHICLE tile where the SILENT MODE is. BTW, there's also a tiny "night light" white LED above the charging handle receptacle which will stay on regardless, it's very weak so we don't bother hiding it.

FYI - On my 2023 XLT the blue charging ring can be easily turned off via a toggle switch at the Sync screen main panel ACCESS tile. I habitually do this while we're camping when I also turn on the Sync SILENT MODE.

Very nice write-up. Thank You.

We have NEMA 14-50 charged at 240V at many state parks, and at many military RV camp sites (all four services) and at a Corps of Engineers dam RV camp on the upper Missouri in South Dakota, and at National Forest sites (the electric pedestals in National Forests are rarer but they do exist). I...

^^^ THIS ^^^. Same experiences for me in over 175K odo miles with two Ford EVs since 2022. I use the Blue Ring on the Sync display instead of the GOM when in doubt. The GOM is a guessed projection, not a factual measure. I'm of course sorry the event happened to the OP.

I don't think that's a fair statement.

yes.
