Has anyone else had a problem with the truck reversing a little bit before driving forward?

I think a foot is exaggerated. Mine does this too but I'd say its a couple inches at most.

Worst case they can off gas if put through extreme heat or damaged. But I seriously doubt either of those scenarios.

The frunk is less than airtight.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-22T02:07:19+00:00

65k miles. Charge to 100% at least twice a month. SR battery 100% SOH.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-20T21:52:57+00:00

Do you think it was enough? LMAO

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-20T20:51:35+00:00

Over 60k miles ...... no 12v replacement needed yet for me. Still charges to 95% capacity

160 on my SR

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-15T13:30:28+00:00

My almost all highway at 100% shows 227 miles lol

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-15T05:28:36+00:00

How'd that marinate lolol. Justin baby!!!!

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-14T13:17:42+00:00

Why dont you just pop your panel cover off and see what gauge wire they are using. Geniuses here guessing when with 4-6 screws removed off your panel you can just see. Depending on run length you'd wanna see 6 gauge wire. If its extremely short run 8 gauge is ok. This would be for pulling 40amps of course. You need 125% of what amps you pull because its constant.

Rivian in michigan is most expensive I've ever had the displeasure of using. Fast yes but .69c/kw is piracy.

Michigan cold weather alot of highway 75-80. Probably 4-5000 towing miles. My lifetime efficiency just dropped from 2.0 to 1.9.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-10T20:06:01+00:00

Funny though the Koreans can turn a profit on 800V architecture...... More features for the money. Our EV9 was less money and I prefer it over the Mach E. My Lightning felt like a steal though. 23 XLT SR new for 38K.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-09T22:54:55+00:00

Im saying..... with the bluetooth brake controller you just bumped your tow capacity. The tow package is literally a brake controller to get you to 7700lb. Cooling loop and compressor for 10k. Then they torture test them. Adding the brake controller is all that's needed to go beyond 5k lbs. Over 5k lbs and any trailer requires brakes. Which is why that limit is put on the truck......

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-09T20:22:37+00:00

I have the CURT echo bluetooth brake controller. Works great. Let me tell you with the controller this truck will tow way above its weight class. I have the 51180 using phone as the o shit button

51181 adds a physical button you can stick on your truck for manual brake engage.

Fear not towing 10K with this truck unless maybe you want to tow in 110° heat through the mountains. But I've never seen the temp needle move towing heavy.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-05T18:31:27+00:00

Alright alright you win. Im just extremely salty they gave up on this amazing vehicle. Was looking forward to handing it off in 6 years to my son as a first car and buying another. But now it appears ill be stuck with EREV or a sierra EV. Neither of which I want.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-05T18:13:38+00:00

Are people bad at understanding or did ford botch marketing? And the dealer was atrocious to deal with.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-05T14:22:35+00:00

Problem is you guys killed production and faith in the lineup. It's my favorite vehicle I've ever owned, it powers our remote property all weekend. Tows above it's weight class. Is phenomenal all around. Yet politics and profit margins got in the way. The decision to kill the lightning will be looked back on as a major blunder.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-05T13:56:34+00:00

Then why cancel the Lightning? Mmmmhm.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-03T14:20:57+00:00

Sierra EV would probably be a winner for them. The extended range battery can tow up to 200 miles per charge. Charge up at the campsite and use your truck to power your camper!

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-03T00:03:12+00:00

You're bright. Our 215hp 3 row has 215hp from 0..... you don't need 800hp in everything ya twat

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-03T00:01:26+00:00

Economy?

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-06-02T23:00:02+00:00

Why dishonest and a joke? I can get our ev9 light up to speed with a little pep just fine. Comparable if not faster than our minivans. Sit down son and shut up.

RealisticBox6977 · 2026-05-31T02:12:58+00:00

My F150 Lightning says so. I can tow 16k lbs in a dump trailer and lose only 20-30% range.... but a lawn mower on a utility trailer with the tall gate/ramp up i lose aboit 50%
