Will you please try Pro Power Onboard outlets and post some info and pics, pretty please? Try the 240V outlet if you can!

It showed built, but then not much else. The estimated shipping update hit when the dealership called to let me know it was there

Oh geez…as I suspected. Mine shows in production since 5/10. However the dealer using locator plus could see that it was at the up-fitter 4 days ago for the bed liner. Build week was 5/2 on the VIN tracker. Thanks for the quick response too. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long for the Pro Charger. Sun Run came out measured for a quote for the 100 amp circuit for us 3 weeks ago and never even called back and I called them 3 times for an update too, nada. Seems soon as they figured out I didn’t want solar or HISS they were no longer interested. Wondering if others have the same experience? I just had a local electrician finish it up yesterday instead.

I am looking for something other than the airstream to plug into it.

I, unfortunately, don't have a ton of stuff, but might try the welder in the barn

Did you already plug in an airstream trailer into the outlets of the F-150 Lightning? Oooo, yes, the welder! What electrical connector? NEMA L15-30R, is that common for trailers? Thanks for all info, everyone, we are new to RVs but very interested in auxiliary uses of power.

Yep, gotta break in the engine else the truck is ruined for life.

Yep, the manual says 1000 miles of easy driving.

I have to admit I have not had time to read the manual yet! Thanks for the info

 

[John Hollywood]

Congrats, bro. Did your dealer make you sign the one year no sale provision?

 

[kenfaber62]

Serious question, I know this to be something in ICE motor (some even argue to try it hard) but do EVs have a break in period?

The manual just says put 1000 easy miles on the truck before towing 'big loads'. I'm not sure if 0-60 launches qualify as 'easy', but I wouldn't risk it.

No, they did not. I buy vehicles and run them until they die, so not sure I am high risk enough to ask that

 

[YankeeCP]

Awesome! Congrats

That’s going to be tough, that’ll take me 3 months.

Gorgeous!
And the truck looks good too!

Yup, no way I am waiting that long for the first launch.

Okay everyone, what can I answer for you?

How much does it hurt to grin for over five straight hours?

Yeah, it's been a pretty crazy and happy afternoon! I love these moments where my work at Blueprint Power and personal life collide. I get really excited about what this truck represents and how excited everyone is about it. From my farming family to the random group of internet strangers/friends here.

Just such a nifty moment to be part of.
