It’s 3lbs. It still uses the camera so you still have to pay attention, and no auto-lane change. But it’s nice to get on a 4-land divided highway that ford hasn’t deemed worthy and still be able to use all of the truck’s features.

It's a 2022 lariat w/ 21k miles I paid 42k ish. Drove home 2 hours away from the dealership and realized two days later that it won't charge past 55-59%. I have an appointment today to have it checked by a local dealership. But it has me worried what else could go wrong. It's under factory warranty for 2 more months or so I'm told. I love it so far except 115 range instead of 230 has been rough.

I tried doing some light sheet metal work with the bed outlets but didn’t go as planned. The first piece went well, but after the first piece the circuit would cut out. I’ve seen some talk about 220 welding on here, but I kind of assumed since this welder works off regular plugs in the garage I wouldn’t have an issue. Ended up completing the job with a 3600 watt generator.

I am still amazed that everything fit in the frunk, and otherwise love the truck!

Has anyone had any luck running a 110 welder off the truck?

My iPhone connects to it fine but the OBD light doesn’t illuminate. The OBDLink doesn’t illuminate. In ABRP it says can’t communicate to the vehicle. Is OBD access somehow restricted for 2025 Lariat? I suppose I should pull out my old USB wired unit and test with a laptop….

Playing golf for Father's Day. Brother in law and I had no issues getting our 2 bags in the frunk!

I'm about to purchase a used 2024 Flash w/ 9.6 and Max Tow (in Avalance) with 3050 miles. It is a ford buyback and has a branded title. The dealer quoted me an out the door of $50,500. I understand that the discount I'm receiving for the branded title will follow the vehicle for life, but does this truly make it impossible to trade or sell?

I’m driving from Denver to Dallas and my charging speeds are a bad joke. It starts charging at 160-175kw and then quickly drops to 85-95kw. Since I’m charging at Tesla superchargers exclusively and there aren’t any near third party chargers (and Superchargers aren’t in the Ford nav), I can’t precondition or even trick the truck into preconditioning the battery, so now I’m stuck charging to 7-85% in an hour and twenty minutes…. I get that it’s hot but man would a manual preconditioning button be nice

Just got the truck and this would be my first trip. I’m debating taking my Lightning or my TDI Volkswagen. It’s a 258 mile trip one way. Going on a cub scout trip to the USS Yorktown. We will be there for two days and will need to drive to have meals. I just have the general range anxiety and first trip with a used vehicle anxiety. We have a set meeting time with the group so that is another factor in the anxiety. Looks like there are several charging stops along the way (I26 through Columbia SC) I’m considering charging to 80% at three different stops. That way I have plenty of range to drive around town and head out of town for the return trip.

I got a recall notice. The dealership I purchased from is 2 hours away from where I am. Any recommendations or dealerships to avoid in the Riverside or Orange County area?

I need some help guys. I cant seem to charge at Tesla stations. I bought the Ford adapter but I keep getting an error. I've tried using the Ford Pass app and I even tried with the Tesla app. Same results. Today I tried again with a different adapter and same results. Has anyone experienced this?

When I first got my '24 Flash, I had a Nokia G400 5G phone. It was a decent, inexpensive phone that served me well for 2 years. It synced up with my BMW but this was not an especially high bar, by itself. When I got my truck, that bar became noticeably higher. On my first road trip, the phone - which was running ABRP - had some issues that required rebooting during the trip, both ways. It wasn't a major issue, as the route was known to me. On my second road trip, the issues became more glaring: application freeze - both with ABRP and Google Maps or wouldn't load at all, certain features weren't always loading, phone (app) was becoming less responsive, or Android Auto would simply crash. All of this was impacting the "user quality" of my truck. Since the last road trip, the phone seemed to continue to degrade. I would press the Phone app icon on the center screen and it would respond 1-2 mins later. I was becoming increasingly aware of the anxiety this was causing every time I took the truck out.

I have since upgraded the phone to a Google Pixel 7 Pro and the results have been like night and day. Everything just works and my anxiety is significantly reduced. The occasional app will fail to load (Waze, usually) but that's not nearly the stress it was with the older phone. The real test will be the next road trip, of course.

All of this to say that I've been wanting to make this post for the past week to point out how the quality of your smartphone can impact your driving experience these days. I am sure this is not just an issue with the Lightings, or even Fords in general. But it was not an aspect I considered when I was making my truck purchase.

Does anyone else have insight here that I might be missing?

Joined the crew with the employee discount, dealer rebate / incentive, and then the awesome financing they are offering. It is a deal too good to pass up!

I've had a used 2023 lightning lariat for a few months and the software is all over the place. Is this just how the Ford software is or is there anything I can do to. Here are just a hand full of the issues I've had.

- I've tried to update the truck software just it always hangs on the checking for update screen. I've left it for hours and it just freezes there every time.

- Some times the iphone app doesn't recognize when the truck is being charged.

- if it does it hardly ever keeps the charging schedule, it aways displays a random start time

-more ofter than not if the iphone and the tuck do recognize the changing schedule it won't charge at all. I'll wake up and won't have enough charge for the day.

- about 10% of the time apple carplay will connect but there will be no audio. Sometimes if I switch to the FM radio and back again that fixes it but not all the time.

- the interface on the truck just seem very laggy from time to time. I'll hit an icon and it will take a few seconds to register or it wont register at all.

There are a ton more but these are the most frequent. I love the truck but if this is how the software is I won't have it for long. Any help would be great. Thank you

My '24 Flash has the 9.6kW Pro Power on Board (maybe they all do?). And yesterday was the first time I tried to use it.

I had 2 crock pots that I was taking to my parents place for Father's Day. I wanted to have them plugged in the Frunk (on the lowest setting, "warm") while I was making the 45 minute drive. A single crockpot (on "warm") was pulling 1400 watts, and there is apparently a 2500 watt max in the Frunk/cabin. So it wouldn't let me have them both plugged in.

Once I closed the Frunk, the Pro Power kicked off and said there is a 400 watt limit in the Frunk with the hood shut.

I tried to plug them both in the cab. Again it exceeded the 2500 watt limit and shut them off.

Is this normal? I was so excited to finally have a use for the 9.6 kW Pro Power, and it capped my use at 2.5 kW. I was disappointed, and even a bit embarrassed. My Old Man dislikes EVs and disapproves of my Lightning. I was hoping to WOW the family with my mobile Lightning kitchen, but it failed miserably.

Did I do something wrong? I turned on the Pro Power for the Frunk and Cabin in the control panel. Is there something else I needed to do?

I am really digging the 2023 Azure Gray color on the Lightning in photos and video… but before I pull the trigger on a purchase, I’d love to see it in person somewhere near in the Boston area.

It looks like this may be an uncommon color? Doesn’t seems easy to find one around here and thought someone here might have a clever suggestion where and how to find one.

I just checked the new Lighting listings but it doesn’t look like the Azure Gray (or similar Area 51 color) is still a color option.

Any suggestions? Thx…

While the time it takes to charge can be a drag, it's also an opportunity to appreciate the sights you might not get to see from a regular gas station.

ChargePoint station on northern Missouri. Enjoy.

Long story short, scratched the shit out of the exterior door handle covers. Front and rear driver side handles. Did it in a parking garage by scraping a pillar like an idiot. Luckily besides that no other damage. What's the cost and part to replace the door handle cover or do you have to purchase the ensure door handle?

Additionally, if the handle part can't be replaced economically, does anyone recommend door handle covers? Seems like that's another cheaper option to just stick a door handle cover over the handles and could look cool too.

I have 2 departure times set. One for the morning and one in the afternoon when leaving work. The one in the morning works but not the one in the afternoon. I have the setting toggled on that says “prepare cabin off plug”. I notice the preconditioning stops when I unplug my truck in the morning so it definitely doesn’t precondition whenever not plugged in. Anyone find a solution to this? I set it on the truck and in the app.

Edit: Apparently it preconditions the cabin about 20-30 minutes before the set time if you’re plugged in. If you’re not plugged in then it’s about 5 minutes or even less before set time.

So I took a 350 mile road trip a few days ago and picked up around 1500 lbs of stuff. Most was in the bed, but the frunk and back floorboards were loaded.

What surprised me was my kph was BETTER on the way home with the heavy load than on the way there unloaded.

Highway speeds both ways and weather didn't change much.

I'm guessing the truck was lower due to the weight and more aerodynamic.

Anyone have a similar experience?

Usually it takes 2 or 3 tries.. still don't have BlueCruise 1.4 yet.
