I read this with interest. I am not into snow, but I help support a five day bicycle ride every year from Big Bear to the Mammoth Inn in early October. We overnight in Barstow, the fairgrounds in Ridgecrest, Lake Diaz just south of Lone Pine, the fairgrounds in Bishop, and at the Mammoth Mtn...
Thank you all for the opinions. I appreciate the thoughts and your time to write them. As I said in the beginning, I have always purchased in the past. Realizing that EVs are pretty new - especially for Ford, I am wondering if 3 to 4 years from now if Ford will have enough of a better product...
Thanks to both of you. I am 2 miles from Colley Ford.
BigIsland Guy, I sent you a DM, but it came up with a scam message warning so don't know if it went through.
I have read this forum enough to know that as far as working with EVs is concerned, some dealers are quite good and some are terrible (most likely somewhere in between). I am getting very close to replacing my current truck and the replacement is almost certainly going to be a Lightning Flash...
To expand on this a little. Normal home based breakers will trip at slightly above their rating - EVENTUALLY. Obviously it depends on the breaker, but to trip a 30 amp breaker with a 34 amp load the trip time will likely be measured in a large number minutes or quite possible in hours. You...
Looking for opinions here. I expect to be shopping for a Lightning Flash in the next couple weeks. I'm looking for opinions on 1) getting a lease, 2) outright purchase (likely financed via Ford since even my Credit Union can't beat the current Ford rate), or 3) lease with the plan to buy it at...
I am going through this same thing right now, but have already decided on the Flash. There are things in the Lariat that I specifically do NOT want - Leather seats, glass roof, PAAK, and I could not care less about heated back seats as I seldom carry people in back.
My current situation is...
I'm laughing a bit at this thread. I am quite active on another forum for a particular camera system. Damn near every time Apple pushes out an update, lots of 3rd party stuff breaks.
For full disclosure, I have a work forced on me #$%^&* iPhone 13 with iOS 18.1 that I absolutely despise...
That's likely me. I have to replace my 2003 Dodge Ram with almost 300K miles some time before the end of May 2025 because it wont pass a smog test (needs major engine work). It's running sort of OK, so I'm not in an urgent hurry (unless it gets worse). So I'm watching for end of the year...
Very cool trip!
Although my primary purpose for a 4x4 truck not overlanding, but rather driving crappy dirt roads to mountaintop radio sites, your post is very encouraging. My 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 with 277K miles on it is now running on about 7.5 cylinders and will not be able to pass a required...
I've been putting about 18K miles/year on my daily drive vehicle for over 30 years. Nothing unusual about that. Related, my wife and I bought a Dodge van many years ago that had something like 19K miles in 4 months. It had been a rental car.
