Just had the 52006 kit installed today, but only the rear portion as I did not want to raise the front at all. Measured a 1.25" drop in the rear which was noticeable but I wish it was double that. No change in ride quality although I would expect the truck to bottom out more easily with heavy...

I bought a truck from Verne Eide in Mitchell, SD a few years ago from 700 miles away. The dealership assured me there was no damage to the truck. When I arrived, I found a nice sized dent in the rear wheel arch that they had conveniently left out of all of the pictures and video they sent me...

The 2023 platinum I'm driving surprised me with peak power reduction when SOC is below about 50%. It hasn't been that cold, around 55F. My XLT SR did not reduce peak power until I was near 0% SOC. Is this the result of a software update? Is it an ER-only thing?

I bought an XLT SR, but for the past month I have been driving a platinum (ER) so I have significant experience with both battery packs. I live in north Texas, which means I only have ~2 months per year that are very cold. I also have another vehicle (an RV) that I can use for towing or long...

Thank you all for the replies, they have been invaluable to help me through this situation. I will be getting the fitcamx dash cam or something similar to it once I have my truck back - cheap insurance and I've always wanted to have recordings of the jackassery I witness on the road every day...

You're right, I may have to disclose the accident to a potential purchaser - that's a good point. My intention has always been to trade the truck for a newer gen Lightning when they become available. I think it's going to be very difficult to prevent a Ford dealer from building an...

The dealership said that the other vehicle involved in the accident "drove off". My assumption is that the other vehicle did not have any insurance or otherwise didn't want to become involved but I will probably never know.

That is my guess. If they contact my insurance, I'm going to be pi$$ed. I'll have that discussion with them this morning just in case. Thanks for the reminder.

About a week ago I dropped my Lightning off at the local dealership to address an issue with the windshield wipers and an annoying squeak coming from the rear seatback. Yesterday I got a message from the dealer while I was work requesting that I call them. I thought they were going to tell me...

Nice reaction time! A friend just purchased a Lariat ER and I noticed his tires were larger than mine. His were 275/60-20 and mine are 275/55-20. My 20's are lightweight aftermarkets and are approximately the same diameter as the stock 275/65-18's. I wonder how much acceleration you would...

I did not select "no trailer" in the towing menu. I thought this was supposed to happen automatically once the trailer was disconnected. When I hooked up the trailer, I didn't select anything in the towing menu and the truck detected the trailer automatically, shouldn't the same happen upon...

Yesterday I hooked up my car trailer and pulled it about 100ft. The truck was nearly fully charged (standard battery) and the range reset from 225 to 87 miles. A bit pessimistic, but whatever. After I disconneced the trailer and drove across town, the truck still seemed to think there was a...

SOC started pretty high, upper 80's and ended up in the low 80's after 5 runs. There is an EA fast charger at the Wal Mart in Ennis, I used that to charge up to 96% while eating a Whataburger. I had it set to charge to 100% but the EA charger doesn't seem to support the low charge rate that...

Which lane were you in? The quarter mile track was closed, had to go to the eighth mile instead. Here is my best timeslip:

Dear Ford Engineers, I'm taking my 2022 SR Lightning to Ennis, Tx. this evening for a run down the 1/4 mile. Can one of you please trick my truck into thinking it has the ER battery? I only need it for about 12 seconds... oh and while you're at it, I could use another 5mph before the speed...

One of the main reasons I bought a 2022 was that there was no "bright" blue color available in 2023. My previous truck was a 2018 F-150 in the very similar Lightning blue (why they didn't offer that color on the Lightning is beyond me) and I loved the color. Antimatter blue might as well be...

I charged to 100% overnight last night and this morning the truck is showing 247 miles to empty, so back to "normal". *shrug*

No the %battery hasn't changed significantly. I understand that the distance to empty value is unreliable, I was just wondering if anyone else saw theirs drop 20% overnight.

I have been enjoying my Lightning XLT SR since late February, with things going more-or-less as expected. I charge both at home and at work on a ~5Kw charging station, and typically charge to 100% at which time my driving range is usually between 230 and 250 miles. Two days ago I got up in the...

I have the exact same truck and noticed exactly the same thing - almost zero regen the first time I brake after leaving a charging station with 100% charge.
