IIRC, you are not supposed to be able to shift the truck out of park if a key is not inside the vehicle (never tested this myself), so someone should not be able to just drive away. That said - I do occasionally leave the truck ‘running’ while I’m away, and I do put the center screen in calm...
Just reserved mine! No website problems at all (I guess a good thing about not seeing this a couple of hours earlier than I did). Looks like I’m around #11500, estimated ship date is June.
I was looking at doing a compressor that was done in the below thread, but never did pull the trigger. Please do share if you end up doing an install. I am just carrying a small 120V compressor in the frunk, but doing some type of install is on my wish list...
In your photo it looks like your EcoBoost is towing - if you have not already, have a look at the towing threads and videos to make sure the Lightning will work for your needs (TLDR: it tows great, but with a pretty big range hit). Plenty of people make it work, so just make sure you’ve done...
The CT has some impressive engineering - steer by wire, 48v low voltage architecture, Ethernet connections to all the various modules, to name a few. Unfortunately, the only one that really makes any impact on the user is steer by wire. I suppose other items might have an impact by providing a...
Steer by wire is cool from an engineering standpoint, but I have not seen anything about redundancy built into the system - I would think that a completely redundant control system with its own independent power supply would be needed, but have not seen anything about that. Otherwise, if the...
A couple of months after I got the truck, my neighbor across the street (older retired woman) commented that for a new truck I seem to have to work on it a lot. I was confused and said I had not really done any work on it. She said that she noticed I had the hood up a lot and figured I was in...
I took delivery of a Lariat ER (511A, if I recall correctly) last week and it has the heated steering wheel and CHMSL camera. Blend was originally 2/6 but delayed to 3/14 due to the factory shutdown.
Picked her up yesterday! Just over a week after the ‘Shipped’ notification. Loving the truck so far!
Interesting thing the sales guy mentioned- the dealer had two Lightnings at the rail yard. They found out, only after the delivery truck had just one (mine), that the other truck is being...
Got a text from my dealer this morning that my truck was at the rail yard outside of town and would probably be delivered early next week. Then got a call from the dealer that it arrived this afternoon! Plan is to pick it up Saturday. Original blend date was 2/6 but delayed to 3/13 due to the...
Mine was in the email from Ford that said the truck was built. I think it is also listed in the reservations/orders page if you log into your Ford account, but I have not looked at that page since they sent me the email.
Interesting. Thanks for the FYI. I have not heard a peep from my dealer since the hold started. I just checked, and my modules have not populated yet and there is no change on the Ford order tracking site since last week. Mine was supposed to be a 2/6 blend date. I keep checking every evening . . .
