  1. Trailer brake control

    Came here searching out for the integrated brake controller on my 2024 flash, as I also couldn't seem to figure out where to control it from, and I think I am in the same boat here with the coin slot instead. That said, I wanted to share a good option we used to tow with our other EV, which is...
  2. 2025 Flash = 123kw battery, 2024 Flash = 131kw battery, same range?

    Minor one here, not sure if its been discussed. But, the 2025 flash trim is showing as a 123kw usable battery and up to 515kms range (~320-322 miles), and the 2024 I bought has a 131kwh usable battery and the same posted range. Did they actually get 9.4% more efficient and I am missing...
  3. ICYMI: Ford Lightning is top selling EV truck OF ALL TIME

    I love the look of the Rivian, and I would have considered one, were it not for this wee little thing here called price.... The LOWEST PRICE R1T in Canada starts at over $130k. To get one with slightly better EPA range as the Flash trim lightning i bought, I woulda spent $145k. That means I...
  4. Lightning vs our 2023 ID4 efficiency

    That is phenomenal efficiency out of your Lightning. And your Mach e for that matter. I mean, we had a trailer on for about 20% of the time for our ID4, and a vertical bike rack for another 20-30% of the kms, but yea. Crazy. I am particularly surprised by the Lightning, as I can only get...
  5. Disabling F-150 Lightning's Beeps, Dings, Chimes, Honks, Bings, Bongs, and Dongs

    Replying to myself, as I found a post here on the forum where someone shows the location of the speaker!
  6. Lightning vs our 2023 ID4 efficiency

    Hey all - Mods move wherever you prefer something like this to appear. Random comparison here, but after 10,000 kms on my 2024 Flash trim Lightning, and after a couple months of resetting the trip meter to measure the difference in spring/summer/and winter (only bought this start of Nov), I...
  7. Disabling F-150 Lightning's Beeps, Dings, Chimes, Honks, Bings, Bongs, and Dongs

    Saving this threat to come back to.....but, for now... Has anyone tried accessing the speakers, and just muffling them a little bit so they're quieter? We do this for some of our kids' toys over the years, where we would just put a layer of normal scotch tape over the speaker holes to muffle...
  8. 2.6 mi/kWh?

    I do this exact thing too....except I leave Trip 2 as the original "all time" figure, and reset the trip one April first and Oct 1st. My logic is that I usually start using the wood stove sometime in early October, and usually stop using it around mid March, so I figured April was a good point...
  9. Lightning sales down 42 percent in May

    For my $0.02, I sure hope they keep the Lightning going, as this has been a fantastic truck and I have made many, many people do a serious "huh, that's what having an EV truck is like??" when they have asked me about it. Honestly I feel like want to become a youtube person blathering on about...
  10. Pro Power - powered airbag session for ~2.5 hours at 3800 watts

    Yea that's what I was worried about, the 12v battery. I think the manual said to do that, when you're just trying to use the pro power...? Regardless, I won't be doing it anymore, and will just fully turn on the vehicle as I did this time. And yes the truck did seem to be turned off after a...
  11. Pro Power - powered airbag session for ~2.5 hours at 3800 watts

    Good to know....it was on our property though so I wasn't too worried about theft or anything...but I will try that next time to see for when I'm out camping next.
  12. Initial range after charge well below advertised range- 2025 Flash

    For my $0.02... Early April I was driving around the greater Vancouver and Frsaer Valley area, all the way up to Squamish. Decently sunny spring weather. I did 107km of driving on the highways (but highways with traffic, and then a twisty roller coaster highway, so averaged probably 80kmh or...
  13. Pro Power - powered airbag session for ~2.5 hours at 3800 watts

    Hey all This here is my truck (2024 Flash trim) powering an airbag for mtn bike freestyle training...two giant fans pulling about 1750 watts each running (peak 2,400 i think on startup), running out of the bed. Worked FAN-tastic! (get it...fans...I'll show myself out) Seriously though, WAY...
  14. 24 Flash Fabric Tape Underside Hanging Down

    Funny you say that, I had noticed something like that too. Gonna go take a pic this afternoon and see if it is still there
  15. Android Auto SOC estimator while towing - any way to modify this?

    Isn't ABRP a paid subscription app though? I thought I read someone mentioning that. So in your view, you set up your truck and give it the avg efficiency ratings, and then it takes that, and also factors in elevation, speed limits, etc., and it has been pretty accurate for you? Even up and...
  16. Android Auto SOC estimator while towing - any way to modify this?

    Hey all Anyone know how to modify the Android Auto state of charge estimator on arrival feature, to reflect towing? I have found it to be really accurate for most of my road trips and daily drives, but when towing, it does not change to reflect the towing load like the truck's range estimator...
  17. DATA THREAD: Post your tow and efficiency!

    Well here she be.... Open Range 19BH trailer, GVWR of 4650lbs. Towed it from here empty, so about 3550lbs. Full 8ft wide trailer. Towing stage 1: 68kms (42.5 miles), very minor overall elevation drop (<50m), temps 20*C to 15*C, speed around ~80-100kmh (50 - 62.5 mph), averaged about 90kmh...
  18. Target Charge Setting has a mind of its own, where does the setting come from

    Thanks for this TaxMan....I just encountered this yesterday as well. I was charging at a supercharger before bringing our new travel trailer home, and I had planned to charge to 100%. Yes I know it is slow after 80%, and slow AF after 85%, but I had the time and the charger had tons of empty...
  19. Towing: Turn signal on, no camera?

    Hi all Trying this here on Main. Back in Oct 2024, I test drove a dealer truck, and did a small tow test with my tent trailer. I noticed that when I turned on the turn signals, it automatically showed the camera view for the side views of the vehicle....super handy. Fast forward to now, and...
  20. Towing results & Questions: Turn signal video, SOC arrival?

    Hi all Did a test tow of a 19 foot class Bunkhouse trailer this weekend, doing a 90km loop at highway speeds, with a "mountain" of 400 meters (~1,300ft) elevation and descent, and then return trip the same elevation and descent. Results were pretty on par with the Towing efficiency Data...
