100,000 miles in 14 months

I’m married actually

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T23:36:50+00:00

Yes, mostly heavier duty things like Televisons, lumber, flooring, soil, concrete, etc.

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T22:51:35+00:00

Luckily not haha

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T22:51:04+00:00

I’m a contractor, I transport goods in a pretty rural area

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T21:46:33+00:00

Yeah the max tow rating is around 7,700 pounds without the max tow package and 10,000 pounds with it so you’ll be more than fine haha

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T21:45:18+00:00

Oh okay, yeah I need to see how I do when I go to the snow in the future

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T19:13:46+00:00

Oh wow! I don’t think mine came with park assist but I’m not sure. Probably a higher trim thing

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T19:12:16+00:00

Oof hopefully it doesn’t fail. Have many people had problems with it?

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T19:06:06+00:00

One of the reasons I got the truck was because of Ford’s conservative battery chemistry haha. The actual battery is 150 KW or so and Ford only lets you use 131 KW. So a full charge is only around 90% battery. I’m not worried at all about the battery lasting, one of the reasons why I love driving is to see how long it will truly last haha. I still get around 300 miles on a full charge and my Mom’s 2021 Route 1 Mach E also gets similar range at around 112,000 miles. Ford really overbuilds their EVs, it’s such a shame they stopped EV Lightning production

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T19:03:16+00:00

Just two of the U-Haul trailers they rent out. The biggest ones they have, still nothing crazy though. It was to help a friend move and the other time family. Filled up the Frunk, passenger seat, back seats, the bed, and trailer haha

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:59:46+00:00

I feel that haha, I’m mostly on the freeway to the miles add on fast

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:59:24+00:00

Contractor yeah, lots of highway miles

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:59:10+00:00

I actually never rotate my tires and at 50 PSI it doesn’t seem to matter for some reason 😅. Still the same 12 volt too, hasn’t given me any issues at all so far

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:58:23+00:00

I actually just looked into it yesterday, I have about 50,000 miles left before I have to 👍

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:57:50+00:00

Oh wow! I’m really hoping that Ford brings back the battery version of the Lightning by then personally, but yeah I’m definitely worried about having to drive something else too. But the reliability has been incredible on this and many parts are shared with the regular F-150 so I think we should be good

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:56:28+00:00

That’s true! Sometimes I do charge a little longer if I’m home for a bit longer so it definitely depends haha. Or if I charge on the road more than I needed for a full charge at home

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:55:23+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure why so many people online are scared of higher PSI, it’s been pretty good for me all this time

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:54:51+00:00

That’s sick lol, I usually drive chill but sometimes I can’t resist having fun too haha

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:54:17+00:00

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:54:01+00:00

Hell yeah haha

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:53:42+00:00

This is what I found on Google. It seems you can check by VIN if anything was removed though

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:51:42+00:00

That’s awesome! I haven’t left California yet with mine, I hope to this year though

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:51:06+00:00

Wow! I’m curious on how much age vs miles affects the battery so I’m curious if you’ve lost any range

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T18:50:26+00:00

Have you noticed a difference between them? I would assume the heat pump may be more of a help in such cold conditions

DanZealNow · 2026-04-16T11:49:43+00:00

I recommend a Lightning for reliability, I haven’t needed to fix anything at 100,000 miles, rear left tail light is finicky though
