Picked up my sod on Tuesday!
I could tell the truck had a load in it, It felt heavier driving but it didn’t seem to bother the truck! No problems with acceleration or stopping. Truly, an amazing vehicle!!!

Nice work, Rick! And that is a beautiful F-150 Lightning! If you're interested, we can help set up a Guided Virtual Tour of your F-150 Lightning to learn all the tips and tricks for any tasks you have in the future. Please send us a DM if you are interested in more information.Hauling the cardboard and pallets to recycling from the shop.

It's not pulling a 10,000 lb trailer or loading up a bed of concrete, but it's always nice to have a truck when truck stuff needs to happen. Stopped to pick up some building material and when we came out there was another Lightning next to us a couple spots over. Hoped to run into the guy but he didn't come out in the time it took us to load up.
This was a few weeks ago after some yard work and tree trimming... trip 3 of 3, and the smallest load of the day.

#1 When connecting a trailer, its super annoying that the camera view switches when the gear select goes into Park. If I select the trailer hitch camera, please leave it on the trailer hitch camera until I switch it manually. Even if I shift into forward or park.
#2 Same thing is a problem when backing boats into the ramp when stopping to engage the off-road mode before entering the wet slippery ramp..
#3 Way too many warnings to dismiss. Especially when connecting and disconnecting trailers. (Stop reminding me about trailer maint.)
#4 The tailgate plastic inner lining should cover all the metal. Those pallets scratch the steel edges of the tailgate that are exposed when you slide them in and out (especially if they have nails protruding).
#5 Please consider that I can ALWAYS charge at my home location. Stop trying to route me to a charger when I am on my way home and can just go home and charge in my garage. One of the things I set home as a destination for is just to calculate my range from home and ETA - don't want to know about other chargers.
#6 Please, please, please remove the "Full View Not Available" message from the rear cameras when towing. The cameras is useful to keep an eye on the trailer payload or boat tarp, but your message is right in the middle of the screen!
How about I give you a guided tour of suggested improvements after driving it for almost 2 years?

Minus tide beach day at the Padre Island National Seashore, 20 miles from pavement. Can anyone see how the truck is cooking our dinner?
