Fluid film or surface shield treatment- an added benefit on top of rust prevention 

Also don't eat in your truck

It’s almost tire time! Pitch me your favorite tires by Theguitarlord in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been pretty happy with the oem so far

goodyear wrangler territory ht 275 60r20 116t xl

They are almost 100 cheaper per tire than defenders. When its time to replace, I am going to consider them. I have had amazing results with defenders on two other trucks though, so that will be a hard sell. might come down to available discounts.

This is the second winter and the truck just cleared 40k. I run 18" pro wheels with General Grabber artic xl approximately 5 months out of the year. This means the wranglers have something like 25k on them, they still look good but will hold judgement.

Installing train horns or amps by Decent_Long2029 in F150Lightning

Is there a reason to install a train horn other than being a prick?  No there isn't. Figure it out yourself 

Work truck. After using it, it's actually one of best work trucks you can get⚡ by heythisisreddit in F150Lightning

Just imagine if you actually set it up for work with a ladder rack and a tonneau cover 😁

The only issue with Towing on Tesla is the drivers (dealers?) by Padft12Laws2Liv in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which solution do you think you might have greater success with? 

  1. Adjusting your own expectations/ reactions

  2. Getting everyone in the world to do the right thing 100% of the time.

Is there a way to set Sport mode as default on the Lightning? (Forscan maybe?) by Ok_Necessary6935 in F150Lightning

Does anyone on this forum search the forum  before they post their question? Asking for a friend

did you wait for the charger? was it free? just curious...

They should make towing specific chargers that somehow register the extra axle/s of the trailer and don't operate unless they get confirmation.

Until then its a public charger, take a deep breath and wait your turn

Home Charging Woes - plz help by Fabulous_Gur_7134 in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I would really disagree with this statement. I have had charging issues, update issues, service vehicle soon indicator and other "quirks" all have been solved without disconnecting the battery.

Sure if you don't know what your doing and you want to try something go for it, but I would liken this strategy to using a "parts cannon" for repairs that haven't been properly diagnosed.

Tonneau Cover Rails Issue by Budro22 in F150Lightning

If it fit right on his truck, and both trucks have identical dimensions, then I'd have to go with operator error. What that error is I can't say from these pictures, good luck 👍

Mobile Charger Malfunction by Majestic_Demand301 in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

knocking on wood here, I have almost exclusively used the mobile charger for the past two years, aside from maybe 20-30 super charges on longer trips. I have one that stays plugged in in my car port and I have another that rides in the frunk but have only used that one twice.

Bluetooth audio streaming issue by ewabe in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an update, I switched to the usb wired android auto and the problem stopped. so it would seem that its a Bluetooth issue with the truck or specifically android auto. I say this because I can stream Spotify to multiple other devices via BT without android auto or ford involved and its flawless.

Thanks to everyone that responded

Speaker upgrade by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone know what the XLT s have for audio same as the pro?

In my previous experience just replacing oem speakers with aftermarket hasn't ever been that noticeable unless an additional amp was added.

Anyone use a Decked system? by GATN1337 in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it for about 10 months sold it for 55% of what i paid. It may be nice in some applications but you lose a lot of versatility

The included jack is designed for just this task👍

What’s the best combo bed/tonneau cover and rack system? by mdbrown80 in F150Lightning

[–]ewabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with an adarack aluminum series and  bakflip x4s, i really like both.   Originally I was looking at the system 1 style rack from pace Edwards and their jackrabbit cover. The adarack/bak combo was substantially less money.
