Efficiency was my concern with putting it over the cab, in addition to the ease of putting it up and taking it down. I was planning to put it lower than the cab and put a red flag on the end (since it would be sticking out). I want racks like the Rivian has over the bed (low profile and easy to...
I'm taking my first road trip in the lightning soon, and I usually take my paddleboard with me on this one. I ordered my lightning with the tri-fold tonneau cover, which I love for day-to-day use, but I'm now having trouble finding over-the-bed racks that are compatible. I'm honestly kind of...
My Fordpass was also not updating (last connection to Ford's servers on 2/17 - only bluetooth remote start lock etc). I went in for service yesterday, which gave me the latest updates to sync, but that did not fix my fordpass issue. I called ford and they said the February fix was delayed and...
Just as an update - My power reduction went away after 3-4 days, and it's been at 100% since. My BlueCruise maps also updated over the weekend. I cancelled a service appointment I had today to look at these issues. Love the performance now and bluecruise is awesome.
Yeah - my power issue persisted for a few days. 2 days ago, I drove to top off at a fast charger then to go to 2 stores. On the way to the charger and the first store: 56%. On the way to the second store it dropped to 51% (the first change I'd seen in days). Then when I started it up to head...
Mine is doing the same, only it’s stuck at 56% even if I turn it off and back on. Picked up on 12/23. I’m thinking it needs a service visit, because the blue cruise isn’t working and says it’s expired before the blend date (under settings->general->about) and the software says no updates are needed.
Okay - today was the day! I had given up on getting it by Christmas, but at 3PM I got the call that it was en route to the dealership. Worked on paperwork while it finished the trip and was able to drive it home. I had to mostly drive cautiously due to cold conditions but...it is amazingly...
Mine is in a similar situation (a day later and a bit further) - arrived Sunday, no word on when it’ll be trucked the hour to my dealer. The whole process is pretty mysterious. I would think for $1700 they could be more transparent or give an exact delivery date. But, I also hate to complain as...
Oh that's yours! I actually called about it last week. Almost perfectly matches my config (mine has max tow, although I don't really need it, and I'm worried mine might be "stuck" pre-shipping).
Update on status of my order to a dealership in NC (Rapid Red Lariat ER with spray in bed liner and tonneau):
Order confirmed: 10/19
In production: 11/23
Built: 12/05
Still haven't progressed to "shipped", but I did get an email on Friday estimating "...between December 14, 2022 an‍d December...
Very helpful - sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully they get you sorted so it works and eventually figure out how to make this cheaper and/or useful for people without this specific truck (so it will at least add some value to the home).
Thanks - yeah, I think I need to go the transfer switch route. It just seems crazy to pay for almost 10k for something that is only useful for someone living here who also has a Ford Lightning. It sounds like the use case is way too specific to justify the cost.
I'm considering installing the home integration with my charger through Sunrun. As we know, it's expensive (pre-design estimate was $9400), so I'm trying to weigh potential value to my home vs other projects I could put the money into. I am admittedly not knowledgeable about or experienced with...
