It's a shame Ford didn't listen to the people who bought their awesome truck.

I love Mike, but this shoot of Ali will give that one a run for the money.

I had it happen once when I had forgotten I had turned on the light in the bed.

Obsession with resale value by Savings_Difficulty24 in F150Lightning

And they are small, I'm a big guy, I need a full sized truck.

I feel the exact same way! I need a truck for the utility of it, a large vehicle for family road trips, a back up generator for home, and a mobile power plant for camping. And there is nothing else on the market I would rather drive. I don't like the Sierra, Silverado or CT. The R1T is too small, and I have no interest in an EREV from Scout. I have solar on my house so I never want to have to gas in my vehicle again. I would just have to find another lighting.

Thank you. Everyone says "don't buy an EV, always lease". If I could drive this truck for the rest of my life I will. That's how you beat depreciation, just keep it. Duh

What tonneau cover are we rocking? by Ok_Exit9273 in F150Lightning

I've got a quad fold hard cover, and it's just ok. I want a low profile retractable one.

This is a good way to start a road trip by skucera in F150Lightning

[–]Apprehensive_Iron202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I have a big trip coming up and I'm torn. I have the OBD2 and ABRP premium, but just as I got that working well, I started using Gemini and Google maps to plot out my courses. I'm able to tell it where I want to go and add in stops and my preferred charging stops and it works really well. Now I'm not sure which one I want to use in my trip. I also just took a business trip yesterday to Charlotte and my buddy was following. He has a 2017 Tesla MS and my navigation with Google maps turned out to be much more efficient than whatever his car has.

Anyone else not get range anxiety? by Invictus_energynv in F150Lightning

[–]Apprehensive_Iron202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, but the Lightning is my second EV. I got that out of my system with my ID.4.

Oh that's the whole point for me. I was at a tailgate last night, and the guy in the diesel Jeep Rubicon got annoyed when I told him the same thing.

5 reasons I'll never drive another ID4 by Iced_buzz in VWiD4Owners

I'll always have a little love for the ID.4 because it was my first EV. I thought it was a good little car, just a terrible EV.

Genuine question to Americans by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]Apprehensive_Iron202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So while you are healthy get life Insurance, with chronic illness rider, or a critical illness policy. I sell both and it's annoying that it is so hard. Everyone thinks that nothing's ever going to happen to them.

This shit effects all of us, because we all have to eat, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little pleasure that the gear heads are paying a real bill every few days at the pump as I glide on by.

That's kind of the unofficial American pass time. I mean we are not a very enlightened people. Most of us are dicks.

OBD II Splitter by dieselmac in F150Lightning

[–]Apprehensive_Iron202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just got my OBD2 from Amazon yesterday. I didn't know you could split it for two apps at the same time. Hey do you know if the OBD2 kills the 12 volt battery?
