Thanks everyone. Looks like it’s supposed to be that way.

Hi, I've got a 2024 Lightning Lariat and just noticed something that didn't seem right. There's no tailgate bracket on the left side of my tailgate. The holes are there, but no bracket. Can someone verify if this is normal? I just noticed it today and I've had it for 6 months now. Haven't had...

Not trying to get off topic, but has anyone tried replacing the entire front grill with a Raptor grill, if that's even possible? Or is there an after market grill made for the Lightning? Not a big fan of the look of the grill.

Thanks. I'll give it a try when it warms up here.

The lettering looks great. How did you clean up around the letter edges? Thanks for the info.

I love my Lightning but I'm not a big fan of the front grill or the blue lettering and accents. I've got a carbonized gray and I really like matte black for accents and lettering. I've seen some vehicles where the lettering was changed from the Lightning blue to black. Are people just removing...

Just got my Lightning in December but it's been too cold to do anything in Michigan. It hit 76 degrees on Friday and I installed a dash cam, rear window flag decal, mud flaps and the F-150 lettering on the tailgate. Almost went with the Lightning blue color but I like how the black turned out...

I would make the dealership submit the paperwork, even if it's late. I did. I purchased my Lightning on 11/30/2024 and the dealer submitted the paperwork on 1/23/2025 when I asked them for the Time of Sale report. When I submitted my tax return electronically, the IRS accepted it and I got my...

That sucks. They have to submit the form otherwise the IRS won't have a record to check against. I would definitely take them to small claims court if that is their attitude. Sounds like a great company to deal with. Hope things work out for you.

A followup on submitting IRS paperwork after the fact. I contacted the Controller at my dealership and asked whether or not she had submitted the IRS paperwork when I purchased the car in November or in January when I needed the paperwork for filing. She said: "Hi Ralph I did not submit it to...

Someone asked if the vehicle was showing up on the IRS website. This is what I found. However, there's no date when the dealer actually submitted the paperwork.

11/30/24

I purchased by 2024 Lightning Lariat in November, 2024. The dealership never submitted any paperwork. I saw the requirement when I started doing my taxes in mid January. I called the dealership and they submitted the paperwork in late January and sent me the form. I filed my tax return the 1st...

If you're a 2024 0r 2025 owner, it looks like Ford updated the latch mechanism so that the thieves are twarted a bit.

Another adapter with 2 USB ports This one has 2 USB ports and you can disconnect one if you don't use it. Comes with various USB cable adapters and zip ties.

I bought my 2024 Lightning Lariat on 11/30/24 and received the following bonuses plus the Ford Charger Station Pro and installation free and 0% financing for 6 years. I have no idea what the current deals are. $7500 - Federal Tax Credit $1000 - EV Holiday Bonus Cash $1000 - EV Retail Bonus...

I just got my 2024 Lightning Lariat about a month ago. I have an Enphase/LG solar panel system that is rated at 7.92kW but in actual practice puts out 6.5kW when it's sunny. I have a Ford Charger Station Pro and was trying to figure out how to use the excess solar and ran across this post. I...

Went from a 2019 Ridgeline to a 2024 Lightning Lariat. I love it and my 5 foot wife loves driving it more than the Ridgeline. The bed is the same length as the Ridgeline and if I need to haul long boards, I just put my extender on the trailer hitch. The one and only thing I miss on the Ridgeline...

Hope you're able to still get a deal this year. However, Ford sent out a letter to their dealers saying that the federal tax credit wasn't going to be available for their electric vehicles. Things can always change though. Good luck.
