Yes, I tow a 6 x 12 with about 5000 pounds of tools in it almost on a daily basis

Depends on the battery size and you’re driving habits

I agree. Best tow vehicle I’ve ever had

I had a similar experience when I first got my lightning. The big orange wrench appeared on the dash and I took it to the dealer and they kept it three weeks. They replaced the problem the parts and then it died on the road two more times and I had to take it to a different dealership per Ford...

The code will be stored. But obviously, they failure that set. The code has not occurred in several ignitions cycles. A little reprogramming may solve everything. Good luck I’ve been through this.

Could you possibly drive to a 50 amp charger and plug in, crawl back in your camper and go to sleep and continue your trip in the morning. Get your battery down around 25% and wake up with 100. I often drive my RV about four or five hours after work and then crawl in the back and go to sleep...

I totally agree. I was spending about 800 a month in fuel for my F150 5.0 4 x 4. Now I’m spending less than 200 a month on my power bill.

I sure could use another one. I ended up buying two Ford lightnings. I have a 22 lariat extended range. And a 24 lariat extended range. However, the second truck did not come with a free charger. And I would love to have one in each truck. Hopefully the price of these things will come down soon.

Exactly, I’ve always understood that a lithium battery lasted a lot longer than a wet battery

I think I’ve heard other people describe those symptoms with a 12 V battery failure. Pretty sure I have read this somewhere on this forum

True, so I guess what you’re saying is it’s not a design flaw as much as it would be a flaw in manufacturing of those one or two particular windshields.

All of that is very true. One other thought that I had was if they could get a basic pro into the city garages for use on reading electric meters, water, meters and all of these trucks that just kind of sit on the road and idle for hours on end. It would save the cities tons of money in fuel...

I can only think of one thing that would explain this. In a conventional ice vehicle, the engine heats water which heats the cabin. So when you start the defrost on an ice vehicle. It heats up much slower rate and gently heats the windshield until the water in the coolant system is 195° or so...

I truly believe that the lightning didn’t sell well, because, they originally said it would be $39,000 starting price. I don’t think any new truck has ever sold for that amount. Instead, it was released during Covid when dealers were tacking on 10 grand. People were paying over $100,000 for a...

I am so glad that you had an awesome experience with your lightning. I love my lightning and I’m sure you will too. There are two observations I would like to make about your post. The first one is most owners manual say do not use cruise control on wet roads. So therefore, the blue cruise not...

Have you checked your truck modem? Maybe you could try locking and unlocking your doors and see if your truck is receiving the signal

I will say the service writer told me that the two modules that they replaced in my battery had a different part number than the originals.

This is all local driving, very similar trips. I actually have wondered if it is because one truck is definitely more broken than the other. The 22 has approximately 30,000 miles and the 24 has only 4000. The difference appears to be .4 to .5 miles per kilowatt. I will say this. The 22 has...

Yes, what would you like to know. The trucks are almost identical except for the fact that one is a 22 and one is a 24. The 22 has more equipment like lighted running boards and 240 V outlet in the bed of the truck. Other than that, they’re pretty doggone similar. The 24 is iconic silver and...

I am in Denver, North Carolina. Halfway between Hickory and Charlotte.
