  1. Ford and Class Action Lawsuit regarding downgrading Lightning

    Im almost certain that the MSN article came FROM our forum discussion here, not that it validates it. Care to share which state you live in? We can do some OBD measurements to see how much power your truck is putting out (literally power...current, voltage, accelerstiin, etc).
  2. Ford and Class Action Lawsuit regarding downgrading Lightning

    This feels really off to me. If any location on the internet would be aware of a class action lawsuit against ford for updates to the lightning it would be this forum. The fact that NONE of MSNs sourcing for the lawsuit actually work is telling too. Yes, we have talked performance reductions...
  3. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist via OTA update for MY22?

    Oh boy! Does this mean the Tax Man is going to try Forscan?...
  4. Ford's Important Tip For Driving Your Lightning in the Cold: Preconditioning / Pre-Heat Your Battery

    Once could put some extra mass in the cabin and overheat the cabin some amount. Should give you additional time of low heater usage. Makes me want to build large steel rear seat heater extensions...
  5. Leveled Avalanche Lightning (Eibach Stage 1 & 35" Wild Peaks)

    Unfortunately it is not "just" the same. Specifically you are adding another joint between the drive surface (the wheel hub) and the wheel. Normally there is only the brake rotor between the wheel and the hub, meaning power is transmitted from the hub to the wheel with only the rotor between...
  6. Anyone using airbags for hauling with Lightning?

    I have been digging into coil to air conversions. I wonder if a bag conversion mount is something I could whip up on my lathe.
  7. No EV routing in Google maps

    Wow, ACTUAL release notes!?! @Ford Motor Company , nice move!
  8. New EV: 2026 Jeep Recon World Debut

    $70,000 for a Rav4 size SUV with low end EV range is wild. Nice looking rig but seems about $30k too expensive IMO
  9. Unlock truck from charge port?

    EU is going to be CCS2 though, which won't work on NA CCS1 plugs. You might be able to move the port but I dont believe you will be able to use any DCFC afterwards.
  10. "Gen 2 F-150 Lightning" development leaked in Ford employees' Linkedin profiles

    Almost 8" narrower is a BIG difference when parking. Cameras dont solve physically fitting in a narrow parking spot. No matter what you do getting the doors open requires space.
  11. Farley says Ford is behind in EV (vs. Tesla and China) so Ford can't afford to "walk away from EVs."

    Not sure what reducing emissions has to do with "tree hugging Kool aid", its ok to simply do it to have less emissions...
  12. Farley says Ford is behind in EV (vs. Tesla and China) so Ford can't afford to "walk away from EVs."

    Apologies for hurting your feelings but enjoying something doesnt mean being ignorant of their downsides.
  13. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    Creep isnt the issue, its fine position. Maybe aligning a trailer is a better example, putting a down tailgate up to a loading dock, etc.
  14. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    No. And to creep forward you only need one, the one on the brake.
  15. Silent Mode

    Fwiw don't forget you can turn the center screen off (at least on the 12"). I dont believe the driver display has that option however. .
  16. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    When slowing the same amount it uses the same amount of regen. The difference is you CAN slow harder with the brake pedal. I have monitored brake line pressure as well and using the brake pedal has ZERO pressure in the brake line up until you exceed the max the battery can take. No pressure in...
  17. Canadian Winters (Dealer told me F150 Lightning not the truck for me)

    Going from 75f to 15f my efficiency dropped from 2.0mi/kwh at 70mph to 1.35mi/kwh at 70mph. This was measured in a controlled test and the truck started out in a semi-heated garage. Thats is a 35% reduction in efficiency. On a road trip doing 80%-10% that would drop my ER from a 184mi stop to...
  18. Pre-collision Assist w/Automatic Emergency Braking Doesn’t Appear to Work

    Can't say I have had the braking trigger in traffic. It did scare the crap out of my wife the other day when she tried to pretend to come at me and it slammed on the brakes. At least I think she was pretending...
  19. Canadian Winters (Dealer told me F150 Lightning not the truck for me)

    So there are a lot of different factors here and how that number comes to be. First, the rated range is NOT at true highway speeds. Kick it up to 75mph and that range will be a lot less, even in perfect weather. Aerodynamic drag is a killer, increasing exponentially (2x the speed = 4x the...
