Regardless of the diagnostics and resolution of this issue I am buying parking blocks ($44 at Home depot for a pair) and maybe melting mats. It may be something as simple as new snow tires, but owners need to be aware and develop their own plan. I have a family member who works for Ford (pretty high up) he, the dealership and customer service all are aware and I am sharing on social media. This may be a one off that we never know exactly what caused the issue (my son had his driveway sealed last summer, not the first year he had the truck). I am impressed with all the contributions and communication owners have provided since the only way things get fixed is by raising awareness and cooperation.Great, another problem with our oh, so awesome Lightnings. Best truck ever they say. Legacy manufacturing better than those $h!t start ups. My driveway is sloped, I hope it doesn't run over some poor kid riding his/her bike.
Does the truck have all season tires?
I was wondering that, too. Both of my incidents were with the stock factory all seasons, which I just replaced with Michelin M+S tires from Costco. I can feel the traction difference while driving in the snow.
Wheel chocks at Harbor Freight are $8 apiece.
Do they actually dig in aggressively enough to help if all 4 wheels are on ice? Might depend on the particular wheel chocks. I have a rubber coated pair around here somewhere that I use when I have to put more of me than I'd like under a vehicle up on a jack, and I think they'd slide on ice well before my snow tires would.
No, in fact, I've had cars that lock only 1 rear wheel by design. One was manual trans to boot so I could have easily left it in neutral.
Electronic parking brakes use a motor inside the caliper to drive the pads on, no pesky cables to break or seize
Salt and sand are your friends in the winter. If you have an inclined driveway then you should be prepared for winter. The truck is great! Operator error is not the trucks fault.
Just take responsibility for your actions, shit happens. It's not ford's fault that they built an electric f150 that has most of the same systems as every other f150.
I have a 2 inch ball mount and just turn the barrels around and put the handles on the ball. I have a 150 yard long driveway. Been doing this for about 10 years and never had a spill.
So I used a 2inch ball mount. The top goes into the recess at the top of the can. The block with the lip catches the rod on the can. The bottom block centers the bottom of the can. I've been meaning to do some improvements but this one has worked fine for 5 years.
Not the OP, but I had 1 incident in each direction.
I have a drag system, but my Father in law was worried about the wheels on the garbage can wearing out....can't make this stuff up.
