Lightning’s are lease vehicles. You can get outrageous deals on them right now (like <500 a month with 0 down). They ride nicer, drive nicer, and are more comfortable. BUT: - Their value absolutely plummets, talking 20-30k in the first year of ownership - range isn’t good - towing isn’t...

I’d say you need to find a different dealer (or go to a different type of battery). I had battery issues too, 18 months ago… haven’t had an issue since, even valet parking it for 5 days in freezing temps. Also PB. FWIW, you can’t see anything out of a Ram, and the Chevy’s feel dog slow in...

Not OP - but I had 90% of those same error messages that resolved forever with a new battery last year. Also a 23 PB

This is the problem with the rise in MBA’s

Not to be a contrarian here but it moreso sounds like a boot issue. My shoes and boots are constantly wet where I live, and have never had a pedal slip. I agree that some grip tape would possibly be the best fix here

The auto window bounce is real common. Mine fixed itself when I got a new battery, and there’s OTA updates to fix it. People also commonly report a loss of power due to wonky traction control tuning, there are ENORMOUS threads on this issue here on the forum, and I think some folks have even...

Sport mode only shuts the motor off when you are completely stopped, otherwise engine is on. Is that what you’re looking for?

Are you planning on mounting stuff on to the topper? If not, I would also go with fiberglass, Leer/Century/etc. My century topper never missed a beat, including some serious off-roading in my old truck.

Difference in “learned” transmission behavior?

Had a ZR2, and have friends with gen 2 and gen 3 raptors. The regular, non-FX4 trucks are not floaty. Just buy either package, and if you don’t like the suspension after a full year in all seasons, toss something else under there.

I too just want second gear. GIVE IT TO ME FORD! I don’t want to hammer the throttle at a green light just to see more than every other gear and that weird CVT-feeling third gear

Do the BMS reset pedal dance before you go to bed tonight, and re-assess in the morning

Truer words have never been spoken.

My guess is that the transfer case is mechanically locked in to 4WD when you turn the truck off. Still locked in when it comes back on. I also have an XLT and it does the same thing.

Original post looks fine, but this one is excessive ^

That’s the pitch they give all of us. “Need to drive the truck more.” No, ford should have put a good battery in these trucks from the factory. At any rate, I REALLY regret not just replacing the battery earlier. That 250 bucks to replace it hurts for a few minutes, but the pain subsides...

All those issues are from the 12v battery, replace it out of your own pocket, skip the dealer. Reset the BMS in 10 seconds with the “pedal dance.”

There’s almost nothing in common with the two setups - the Powerboost has a tiny 1.5kwh battery, and the 4xE’s have a 17kwh plug-in battery type that allows for fully electric driving (outside of lucky scenarios where we can achieve this for a mile or so). unfortunately, apples to oranges

No reason to live with it. It makes the vehicle perform at 60% for no reason, when you could fix it for the next 5 years for 250 bucks and 15 minutes.

^effort notwithstanding, this is not how to reset the BMS on a ford. - Hit the start button without your foot on the brake for Aux power - flash the headlights 5 times - hit the brakes 3 times - watch for a battery icon on the dash - shut the truck off the end!
