Yes like my current xlt, it's only on the rear windows. I always add state legal limit to the front driver/passenger sides and a limo (5%) brow across the top of the windshield. Makes a huge difference, especially the brow.

I want to see a F150 Lightning with a Fraptor grille.. ???

Just remembered one - replace that big whip antenna with a short stubby one. Get 0.1 mile of extra range from reduced aero drag!

Solar PV Tonneau panel on the bed for when the solar powered camper is not there.

I'm very curious about a solar bed cover. Do they already exist and can the be used to charge your Lightning?

If my truck is sitting all day at work or all week at an airport it would be nice to add a little free juice to the battery.

do you have a link?

The Worksport website (worksport.com) doesn’t appear to be working today - which isn’t confidence-inspiring - but here’s a review:

You're not going to get enough range for it to matter.

Swapping out the lightning decals with the 2nd Gen ICE lightning decal. Also adding a Carolina Squat lift kit.

Only kidding about one of those.

So no 2nd Gen ICE Lightning decals, then?

As an aside the NC Governor just signed a bill banning Carolina Squat modifications in the state. Takes effect Dec. 1, the penalty for those in violation is a mandatory revocation of license for at least one year.

Just good ceramic tint for me. Want to try to use the A/C less.

I’m getting a Pro, painting the bumpers, door handles and mirror caps. Then adding power running boards as soon as I can confirm they will fit.

I'm thinking of going this same route, I might also investigate if the Lightbar across the front can be purchased as an OEM part, or aftermarket, and added after the fact.

Since I'm planning on getting the Pro, I may also upgrade to the 80a charger.

Also unclear if I'm keeping the vinyl seats.

I have seen this before. If it is affordable, I would definitely be interested. However, I don't understand why it needs the roll bar thing up against the cab. I would want it flat like a normal cover. Any guesses why this roll bar is necessary?

Actually, for my use case, this might make sense. I read that the solar bed cover will cover 30% of the usual driving range, which is about 40 miles. 40 miles x 30% = 12 miles. My normal daily driving is 8 - 10 miles (I live very close to work and I have the worst use case for ICE...I have to drive very aggressively just trying to get the engine temperature up).
