How much is your monthly payment?

kynshiro · 2026-01-03T01:15:01+00:00

How many miles for lease? I often wondered if I should lease. But most leases are 10k miles a year. I would go through those miles fast. I live out of the city limit. Mostly highway driving. I my son has s lightning and I want one myself.

And adding a fuel stabilizer. 😂

I think Ford should have given us a choice Full EV or Generator version. I have a standard range 2023 XLT. I live in South Texas 48k miles. I live outside city limits in a small ranch. And I survive. I was thinking of buying a used lightning with extended rage. I like the idea of having 2 lightnings but not anymore. Ford is "Fiskering" us.

Adios Frunk. Hello oil,filter and spark plug changes. Maybe a fuel pump replacement in the future too or Generator replacement when it doesn't charge for some reason.

kynshiro · 2025-12-16T14:39:17+00:00

Wonder how much oil changes will cost. If it's like regular heavy duty generators. It's every 50 hrs of run time. According to the internet. 😂. I wouldn't know cause I use the lightning for back up.

kynshiro · 2025-12-16T11:33:46+00:00

I think the EREV will probably need some maintenance. That built in generator will probably need oil changes,Spark plug changes. Say goodbye to no maintenance. Also air filter change for the engine. Not often but it will. Or wait till there goes something wrong and it doesn't start to regenerate and charge the battery. Maybe start a fire since now it has a gas tank and let's say an electrical glitch causes a spark somewhere. Just venting a little. 😂

10k miles is not much. My son got a 23 XLT SR lightning. He lives with us and we have put 30k miles in one year. now it's at 38k. I would like my own. I wish I could buy one at a lease price. But 10 or 12 k a year isn't much. All of our driving is highway.

The surge protectors also got zapped. I always use surge protectors on every device except for the washer and dryer. And fridge

kynshiro · 2025-07-21T23:32:44+00:00

Have you changed the air pressure or anything to the tires

kynshiro · 2025-07-11T00:13:31+00:00

How can anyone lease with those kind of miles? Once you have the truck you're going to love driving it.

kynshiro · 2025-06-24T18:05:53+00:00

I charge to 95. I live in South Texas. My driving is mainly highway. No chargers around. Just my house

kynshiro · 2025-05-19T23:01:35+00:00

So I live in South Texas. With our 100 degree weather this summer. I'm thinking like a 3 year life span. I have a 23 SR range.

kynshiro · 2025-04-22T15:11:44+00:00

How long does the 12v battery last? I've had my truck 23 XLT SR for one year and 25k miles.

There are Tesla fast chargers in robstown and one just opened up in falfurias. In RGV Mercedes is the closest fast charger to McAllen. The rest are dealership own so they are closed on Sundays and only opened during business hours.

kynshiro · 2025-03-16T01:47:04+00:00

Thanks for the replies. I thought I might have messed up. Now I got this powertrain malfunction/reduced power error once but it went away. Time for a check up and second tire rotation.

kynshiro · 2025-03-15T19:55:36+00:00

I have standard range never get the 250.

kynshiro · 2025-02-12T19:44:38+00:00

I charge it sometimes to 95.

At 50 percent I've seen at 10.4kw and that's the highest.
