I can’t seem to find my build date on my account page. Is there a way to look this up with my VIN?

My build week was the week of January 9th, 2023.

We have same build week.

You can check your BUILT date with the Ford tracker with your vin and 4 digit order number.

Thank you. I have the VIN, but can only find the 8 digit order number. Probably for the best, though. Just adds to the mystery of this entire experience.

And there’s a whole thread that you guys are already on to discuss this . This thread is about what you can do to it when it gets here, hopefully soon, feel bad for you guys,

Also added a Retrax cover and a Yakima ladder rack.

Wanting the same bed rack mount for my recently installed Retrax. How do you like it? Do you keep it high all the time? Any downsides (wind etc)?

do you happen to have the part numbers or links?

also looks super good!Black cross bars looks a lot better than some of the silver ones I’ve seen

Did some real work today. 2 loads of logs. It was 26 degrees this morning starting out and got 1.0 miles/KH empty heading to the site. It took a couple of hours to cut and load the first load on the way home it was 36 degrees and got 1.1 miles per KWH. Going back to get the second load empty got 1.4 miles per KWH with temp at about 40 degrees. The second load was larger and heavier, but I still got 1.1 miles per KWH. Round trip is about 16 miles up and down hills both ways.

the rack is a Overhaul HD 8001170 from Rack n Go. Crossbars are 68”. Those were from Amazon. I also put on the ladder roller and load stops. You can change the height of the rack but not easily. You need to loosen 20 bolts So it’s going to stay where it is. I don't notice any extra wind noise though.

Didn't do anything to the truck, but did set a personal record for efficiency. 3.1 mi/kWh reported in the truck. It was dense fog and still air last night, right at 70F, which is probably close to easiest conditions to work with. I drove home around 40mph with no effort out towards being efficient, just taking it a bit slow since visibility was 1200ft or less.

We had a "storm of the century" in my city that brought snow to an area better known for our surf and warm beaches(Santa Cruz, CA). I headed up to the hills with the lightning and was honestly shocked at how well it did. Zero traction issues, 100% planted and confident even in wet/icy snow. I've had my raptor in snow before and it didn't do this well, and it has 35" M/S tires. The weight distribution of the lighting along with the ability to put power right where it needs to be is pretty amazing.

Saw your post on FB, I swear at first glance it looks like your windshield is busted out. Glad you survived the storm and the truck did well.

Went on a 302.3 mile road trip with the boys to central CT for a LE-MC event. I started at 100% with preconditioning using the 20 minute earlier than leave time protocol, cabin and steering wheel warm. At 2/3 through the trip, I was averaging 1.8 MPK, for a cold flurry winter day with 3 big guys in the Lightning

I needed to juice up for a bit in Waterbury to make it the rest of the way home, the session started at 9% remaining with DTE of 15 miles, while we waited, had a bite to eat at the Jersey Mikes in the plaza.

This session ended up being free because of ~communication issues~ on the EA network, talk about expensive member pricing @31c/kwh.

After the trip was over, I topped off in Wrentham Mass, same 27 minutes and nearly the same 60+kWh but for a lot less money, I did get charged for this one.

Looked at this all day...hoping it doesn't change again

Mine got held up as well with an estimated delivery today! No word from my sales associate. The wait is killing as this tracker is a double edge sword! I don't see the Get Ready for Delivery on mine. Is this a USA thing or when it's actually at the dealer?

 

[CdnCGM23]

It becomes an addiction.

I've never wanted as many accessories as I do on this truck (partially because I got the Pro, and partially because I may actually be in love with my truck).

It's a real thing!!
