  1. Lightning spotted in Colorado doing cold weather towing tests

    Why is TFL getting so sloppy lately? I know it's little things, but their Powerboost home backup video was pure cringe and lots of little technical details / facts are weird.... Like this claim of it being the coldest February day in 123 years.. WTF? Where did they even come up with that...
  2. Order email received but dealerships charging ADM

    Only if he's OK with delivery in 2024... I've bought two vehicles from Granger and really like those guys. But had to move my reservation FROM there to see if I could still maybe get a '22. On the flip side of that, if he transfers to Granger and they let the allocation transfer with him...
  3. Dealer Crashed Into My Truck

    I had someone back into my expedition and resulted in my bumper needing to be repainted and tail light fixed. There was a scuff on the lens and the body shop was skeptical so quoted a replacement tail light assembly. They attempted to buff the lens and in the end that was flawless, so I...
  4. Anyone else seeing this on their Lightning reservation?

    Got the approval email way back, but of course no allocation. I now have this certificate showing on my Lightning reservation. Ford is getting sloppy with their editing, the last line of the small print says to take advantage of the offer by 12/31/21.
  5. Reservation now that orders on Ford.com are closed?

    Your best bet is to get on the wait list with a dealership you like, in hopes that someone will refuse their Lightning when it comes in. Then the dealership will call people on that list to see if they're interested. And they will probably be charging some hefty premiums in most cases. You're...
  6. Wave 4 invitation - did you get one??

    Which dealer? I’m a first couple minute reservation holder that transferred from Granger the other day to one here in CO since Granger’s received only 2 so far. Nothing for me for wave 4. Not looking very promising.…
  7. Payload capacity on Lightning Lariat Extended Range : 1452 pounds

    Lariat has two tone seats -- black with grey. They call the interior black, but this is what it is. I've seen it in person, it looks nice. Somewhat understated, but nice. Also shows the two-tone in the B&P configurator. The Platinum interior is black with very light grey, softer/ nicer...
  8. So whats the deal with the Platinum Lightning?

    I don't think we know specifics yet on the center bore diameter and offset that Ford is shooting for here. I think they're still the same 6-bolt Ford pattern, which means wheels from your super duty won't fit. That said, the biggest factor to consider is the load rating of the wheels you want...
  9. This Forum helped me get Priority Reservation on 2022 Lightning - Thank you

    Heh... 200+ 150's in inventory is pretty average around here, but I know "HUGE" varies by location. I'm transferring my reservation from Granger (small and getting almost no allocations) to a local (large) dealership that handles most of my fleet business. They're telling me that I should...
  10. This Forum helped me get Priority Reservation on 2022 Lightning - Thank you

    You have a 6AM EST reservation and were able to place an order??? WTAF...? Or do you mean you placed your order at 6AM EST and that's not your reservation timestamp? If you reserved the following morning after the event for a 6AM timestamp and got to place an order, you either got lucky at a...
  11. This Forum helped me get Priority Reservation on 2022 Lightning - Thank you

    Meh... My timestamp is earlier than that and I'm still waiting. All depends on where it puts you in line at your dealership and how many allocations they're getting vs. how many on their list and then there's prioritized reservations at many dealerships. Unfortunately, mine advertised great...
  12. Preparing for TX Ice Storm: Powering my house with F-150 PowerBoost ProPower 7.2kw Generator!

    You don't want the transfer switch in front of the main breaker as the home almost certainly draws way more power than the truck can provide. You want your transfer switch to isolate a section of your panel or key circuits in a sub panel that need to be powered in an emergency that won't...
  13. 3% Under Invoice 2022 F-150 Order - Granger Ford

    Frontier has direct flights from Denver to Des Moines for $35 or less on certain days of the week. No joke. That along with the current rates and wait times to get a truck and shipping scheduled, makes no sense to ship unless you just absolutely can't get there and drive back.
  14. [Updated] 2022MY F-150 Lightning Scheduling and Job 1 Production Dates Announced

    Yep, have to agree wholeheartedly on this one. Been doing factory spray-ins since Ford started offering them on our trucks and it's never added any time. All of them have arrived and sprayed properly and as good or better than I could get from any local shop. Which also brings me to the...
  15. Transferring to a new dealer question.

    That is a good question, I'm not sure if they can customize pricing for each order or not. But I think they can.
  16. Transferring to a new dealer question.

    Yep, that’s pretty much it. Your order in line at the dealership is based on timestamp, with the exception of VIPs that the dealership may have prioritized. If you transfer to a dealership, you will leapfrog anyone in line that has a later time stamp than you. As for prioritized orders, they...
  17. Granger Says They Have 2 Lightnings Allocated

    That's not what he's saying at all. He's saying Ford should be rewarding dealerships like yours. Many of us ordered from small dealerships who treat their customers right. Many of those dealerships are not getting many, if any, allocations for the Lightning. It's not just first come first...
  18. Reserved within first 15 minutes, but dealer just told me I won't get a Lightning until 2023.

    All sold out for fleet. Can still order other trims, but all will be sold out for fleet here shortly. Fleet orders are timed as well. Not sure if it's in actual waves like retail orders or if Ford is just issuing rolling invites. I'm guessing fleet orders had a very low cancelation rate...
  19. ? Lightning Ordering WAVE 2 Emails Are Out!

    Granger has been great to me. I've bought two other vehicles from them and they're worth the trip to Iowa and back from Denver. The "problem" with Granger and the Lightning is the few 2022 allocations being handed out combined with preference for ZEV states. Add to that the enthusiast...
