Who here has taken delivery of a Lightning and had NO issues with it?

Day 2 no issues (lol), just glad after all this time it got here. This is my 6th F150, PowerBoost before this one. Just when I thought the PowerBoost was fast...I got the Lightning XLT SR. Amazing truck.

I'm at 3,000ish miles and nearly perfect so far. My small issues:
1) Window would not close one day, almost like it had something blocking it, but nothing was. After a few hours of opening and closing and restarting the truck a bunch, the issue fixed itself. Months later it hasn't happened again.
2) Air dam fault pops up on most cold weather highway trips, this seems to be a known issue shared by many of us. Hopefully Ford puts out a fix soon.

Overall this seems like a pretty minor list of issues for a first gen truck, so no complaints here.

4 months and 4000 miles IS the issue. Truck needs more miles!

Truck has been rock solid for me as well...with the same time and mileage

Retired, street motorcycle riding summer & fall and my race season has been in suspense since June 2022.

Sorry for the OT content, but I got word that my new crank, rods and pistons are enroute should be here by 12/31/22

In 2023, I'm anticipating about 13 race trailer hauling trips, it's going to be an interesting experiment .

I screwed the poll response options up. Can a mod or admin fix it? Thanks.

Fixed by removing the second '.....nothing serious" option and editing the similar option for choice 2, now we have three choices.

Humorous - the first time I folded the rear seat up, the plastic piece behind rear seat head rest popped off and literally went sailing over my head. Just had to be snapped on better.

Annoying - about a week in, my Lariat ER acquired shaking when accelerating between 40 and 50 mph. Ford dealer said their demo one does that, too, and Ford doesn’t know why yet. Hoping doesn’t get worse.

I remember my 2007 F-150 did that many years ago. I thought the worse, but it was just a chunk of ice that had built up on one of my rims. Knocked it off and it was smooth sailing again. Hopefully its something simple like that.

Only issue I had was backing into a mailbox and breaking the rear taillight. :/

Ouch!

Almost 6 months and 8k miles. Perfect so far.

 

[F150ROD]

16k miles no issues that I would have known about. One issue randomly appeared and the other one I was contacted by Ford about.

So far so good

My only issue is it's winter time and I can't be out there camping.

I’ve had my Lariat ER almost 5 weeks and driven 1,200 miles with no issues.
100 miles to Gainesville, FL last Sunday with a fast charge at EA. This truck exceeds my expectations.

Picked mine up August 2nd, 2400 miles in 4+ months. No issues but I am still on 3.4.0 update which was released back in August lol. Handling snow like a champ too in Upstate NY.

That is a question I've been meaning to ask... I love my 2007 F-150 XLT 4X4 with 5.4L ICE and the way it handles deep snow. This is good to here and I can't wait!

10,000+ smooth miles so far on platinum.
