  1. Wave 5 or 6? Order invitation received today (Tuesday). Ordered Lariat SR - regret ?

    Yeah, I didn't want any of that and had an XL on order but my wife kept asking whether it had keyless entry and start like our old rig, and then power seats w/ memory, and then power pedals w/ memory, etc. Each question resulted in a trim bump until we ran out of trims... I originally had AT...
  2. Wave 5 or 6? Order invitation received today (Tuesday). Ordered Lariat SR - regret ?

    This is from my email blast Jan 6th: I'm not sure if they changed their policy, but I moved my reservation to the desert once the first waves went out with a sum total of...one. There was no way I was getting an order invite there with my current position being over 100! I doubt there will...
  3. Wave 5 or 6? Order invitation received today (Tuesday). Ordered Lariat SR - regret ?

    whoa, where you going? Kearny Mesa Ford was promising no ADM or forced ads in writing as of a few months ago. I eventually ended up at El Centro Motors out in Imperial County for no ADM and only 10 orders in front of me (I was 120th or so at Kearny Mesa). If you change dealerships let me know...
  4. Exclusive look @ F-150 Lightning next week at SEMA Garage! Post your questions & requests!

    Thanks for showing me where to find the information. I'm not worried about it--I was certain it came with the step tailgate. I saw it on one of these sheets and also in the videos. Someone created a thread for it on reddit but I couldn't find the information to show them it was included when I...
  5. Exclusive look @ F-150 Lightning next week at SEMA Garage! Post your questions & requests!

    The tests are conducted at stock configuration; even though that specific vehicle window sticker has max tow on it, the tests aren't conducted for each vehicle individually and those data aren't tailored to the sticker configuration. After someone mentioned the concern over the tailgate on...
  6. Ford to Exert More Control Over EV Sales at Dealerships With Non-Negotiable Pricing

    What is all of this about? I haven't done any of it. Meanwhile my order is on the website while unscheduled for production. Whenever I call Ford or my dealership I'm told there isn't anything left for me to fill out or submit. When I google WBDO I find pictures of sheets that I've been...
  7. Hard braking at highway speed next to 18 wheeler truck pulls opposite big rig

    Funny thing about that video is the driver of the subject car would have not had any "surprises on the road" if they slowed down and didn't tailgate :)
  8. What Max Tow Package on Lightning gets you (per Ford's Lightning marketing manager)

    At minimum it'll decrease charging times and increase cell/motor longevity. If it's using a beefier pump it might even reduce pump losses during normal transit (increasing range, albeit ever so slightly).
  9. Lightning Power Running Boards (Option 18A) now removed for 2022 model year

    Welp, that answers one question: fixed boards have LED lighting whereas retractable seem to not have them. I do like retracting them for highway hauling but never been a fan of the stock ones anyway. I put them on because they cost $200 bucks but I intended to take them off for resale anyway...
  10. Exclusive look @ F-150 Lightning next week at SEMA Garage! Post your questions & requests!

    The Plat has Max Tow whereas the Lariat ER does not. Doubtful she gets a better explanation than that. As for myself, I'm curious whether the Lariat comes with an integrated tailgate step. It's been shown in videos but isn't on the build sheets.
  11. Pin to drive

    What is the reason for doing this? Is the idea being that the worst that happens is you break into the vehicle but you can drive home?
  12. Lariat Power Running Boards

    I don't think 2023 with is an option. The owner just sent me an updated build sheet with a note saying they were NLA. Didn't ask if I wanted them badly enough to wait for next year. I think that note is more of a "try again next year" than it being a "delay your already ordered truck until...
  13. Lightning Power Running Boards (Option 18A) now removed for 2022 model year

    My dealer didn't let me know (about the choice)...just sent me an updated build with them removed and told me they were NLA. Reading that message, however, I'm glad the owner just opted to remove them completely from my order because I probably would have made a stupid decision if left up to...
  14. Is there a Market for Lariat 20” wheels?

    I had switched to the A/T tires but then I switched back after I realized if I was going to take it anywhere that I wished I had A/T tires I'd also want them on 17s or 18s. So I'll just buy an extra set of wheels and maybe sell my 20s but most likely keep them for around town.
  15. Towing With An Electric Truck - Is It Cheaper Than Gas? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 PowerBoost

    I doubt many will want to see the price tag on that airstream. When I googled, "most aerodynamic travel trailer" I found one company claiming that distinction. The trailers were between $250-300K :O
  16. Lightning 20" AT vs AS tire option. Does anyone have info about these tires?

    I haven't seen any manufacturer do this other than Tesla. I'm not even sure about Tesla, I just read that they have foam or something in their tires so I'm assuming they're custom made. Everyone else, however, is using off the shelf tires.
  17. Got my transfer to the Lightning plant and saw first dealer mannequin trucks go down the line!

    I didn't include reservations/invites in the calculations. We don't know how many invites Ford extended or how many orders they are processing. Those were calculations of how long it'd take to manufacture 11,000 orders at a rate of 200 per day.
  18. F-150 Lightning Tows 10K Pounds Up Colorado's Super Ike Gauntlet on Coldest February Day in 123 Years

    What do you think this has to do with a 10,000lb load down a snowy, icy 7% grade?
