I’ve heard that some lightnings may have it somewhere else, but mine is behind the back of the rear seat on the passenger side.

Thanks!

Towing would only be 100-175 miles. :-)

It now has 37k miles so it should be good.

Yeah it’s kinda crazy. This video seems to have hit a nerve with a lot of people.

I had a Honda civic when I was younger. I loved that little car too. This truck is way better though. :-)

Here’s a winter test I did testing different modes. It’s definitely less. I think I ended up with 2.4 in sport mode, so that’s a little more than 10% less in the winter. Ford Lightning - 1 Pedal Drive vs Sport Mode - Winter Range Test ua-cam.com/video/tjgFYQS1Aj8/v-deo.html

That’s true. If you watch the full video you will see that I was mostly going up and down 2,000 feet in elevation, which I believe helps on range.

Thank you. Will do.

@@F150LightningMike use a fluoride free tooth paste I prefer Toms or Burt bees it makes you mouth feel extremely clean.

@@POMAH_MOHISH you’re not funny

@@eyesandearsofKA I'm not trying to be I get great results with those to the Fluoride tooth paste leaves a film over your teeth. The non fluoride tooth paste makes your mouth super clean

You have to sign up for a streaming subscription with Ford.

Yeah I know right. I’m just happy I got a good result on my test and people either don’t believe me or they are just wanting to be mean without watching the full video to see more information about how I did it.

Depending on weight of the trailer it would be about 100-175 miles is what I’m hearing, but I haven’t tested it yet.

lol … that’s funny. Actually I got to my house with 3% remaining and 331 miles

Here’s a video that I did recently on sport mode vs normal vs 1 pedal drive and for me sport is the most efficient. Ford Lightning - 1 Pedal Drive vs Sport Mode - Winter Range Test ua-cam.com/video/tjgFYQS1Aj8/v-deo.html

Nope it’s true. Watch the full video.

That’s probably true. Here’s a test I did in cold weather. Ford Lightning - 1 Pedal Drive vs Sport Mode - Winter Range Test ua-cam.com/video/tjgFYQS1Aj8/v-deo.html

Nope it’s real for sure. Watch the full video.

Thanks.

That’s awesome!

Thanks for watching.

Thanks I love mine for sure. Hauling actually does NOT impact range at all. Towing will, but I have filled up the bed and the frunk as you see in this video and it hauls it great. Can a Ford Lightning Haul Anything? ua-cam.com/video/meOK3cLwryY/v-deo.html

I haven’t needed to tow personally, but I have done a roadtrip and it’s a great trip vehicle. There is even a built in cooler in the front trunk.

It will tow at least 100-150 miles without charging depending on weight that you are towing.

Hey neighbor. Thank you for watching. Let me know if you have any questions related to our area and I might be able to do a video about it.

Yeah I charge mine to 90 and it works great.

This is good information. I think my quote was pretty high, but there were multiple electric companies saying around the same price. I’m glad you got a good deal.

That’s the first time I have had it that low. Have you experienced yours dying when it’s low?

if i did a test on how far i could go on a charge i would take a generator with me just in case haha

Good advice!

Thank you.

not the lightning it hates interstate speeds

@@timnevitt2993 it is an aerodynamic brick. 65mph seems like a good compromise.

@@MendicantBias1 with all the testing i have done with mine the best highway speed is 63 mph

The speed limit west of Austin Texas is 85, no can do.

My experience is 70 mph on the highway is the max you want to drive to get great range. But hey sometimes if it’s 85 and there are enough chargers for you to charge more go for it. BlueCruise doesn’t work past 80 though.

That’s awesome. How long did you have a bolt?

@@F150LightningMike had it for about a year. The constant recalls and battery fire danger made me lose faith in it. Great car and good 200 mile range. Charges very slowly 50kW.

Yeah the slow charging would be something I wouldn’t like, but it’s probably not that bad if you only charge at home.

@@F150LightningMike people and critics overestimate how much charging they’ll need day to day. I used a splitter off of the dryer 30 circuit and it was just fine for every day use. My charger set to 16 amps was enough at 3.5kW. I also got a Bolt EV on Turo and charged with a 110v socket just fine for that trip! All local area driving.

I agree. Most of the time I am only driving about 50 miles at the most so it doesn’t take that long for me to charge up. That’s why I had an electrician install a 240v outlet and I only use my portable charger. And it works great.

It’s a great truck, but really to me it’s whatever you are comfortable in.

The speed limit going up and down the mountain is 45-55 depending. For the last 40 miles I was going about 65-70 on the interstate. I also use sport mode and turn off Pro power on board which both save me on range.

@@F150LightningMike oh thats a good call to turn off pro power when not needed. Thanks for the info. I enjoy the content.

Sure thing. I used to think that I needed it turned on in order to charge my phone, but that is not the case. The USB ports run off the accessory power.

Agreed. If you don’t want to buy any EV just buy one, but I am loving mine.

Just finished. Great job. That efficiency is great for such a big truck. I’m sure the lower mph limits helped on those back roads. For commuters who spend a lot of time on back roads with speed limits less than 55 they might be able to get 350 miles. To add to my comment above the beauty of the EV is that you can keep charged at you house to keep a cushion of charge in case of emergency

Yes you are correct. If for some reason I needed to go further for an emergency as you are suggesting I would then I would just charge it that night instead of waiting till the end of the week. If I need to as well there are at least 5 fast charging stations in Colorado Springs and 1 in divide, a town near Woodland Park.

@@F150LightningMike true. The example I was thinking was I got a phone call once that a family member was admitting in the hospital to trauma for a crash and I was driving at the time and rushed there. Was glad I was t in my electric vehicle at the time bc I wasn’t driving efficiently (😉) and the hospital was over an hour away.

By charging to 90% or whatever you feel like is important for your possible emergencies every night it really alleviate a lot of anxiety as far as if an emergency would come up because you could go long ways on 90% charge even 80% charge and by the time that’s used up, you can figure out another plan or call somebody else to help you if it really came down to driving that many miles in case of an emergency However we all know emergencies are different. We can never really plan for everything no matter if it’s gas or electric so I think the pros definitely make it worthwhile to drive electric.

I wonder how many people that haven’t driven electric vehicle very much , or at all realize how much quicker they are so that’s one of the pros in case of an emergency. They will perform better than every other vehicle on the road and not just buy a small margin I would choose an electric vehicle. Any chance I got if I had an emergency situation, and not worried as much about the range because for the most part, the range is sufficient anyway.

Nope I have Falken Wildpeak AT3w with about 11k miles on them now. I had to switch early because the hankooks are not good. Here’s a video I did about that: Tire Issues with the Ford Lightning - It’s New Tire Day! ua-cam.com/video/u-4X7t6-Bjg/v-deo.html

It’s true.

Not sure what you are saying. The radio and other accessories run off of the 12v battery, which gets charged by the bigger battery. The ac and the heat both use energy from the big battery but not that much. And yes I really did get this range. Here’s a video test of me sitting idle in -9 degrees to show you how much the heater actually uses:

Lightning Mike -9 Degrees Cold Weather Test ua-cam.com/video/YwBlE9eGQ_I/v-deo.html

@business-ul8gj Hmmm Brand new youtube account kinda like AI generated nonsense here. Bots don't drive.

That makes more sense to me now. Dang bots!

That’s great to hear. I’ll plan to do an in town test next to see if I can match your range.

Maybe so. I might do a test like that soon too. Comparing it to going up and down in elevation though it might be hard to beat. I wonder if I can get 3.0+ in city driving? Keep in mind though I have falken Wildpeak AT3w tires on so it might have impact on the range a little, but I still got 2.7 on this test in spite of those tires.

Thank you!

I use sport mode (Without) 1-pedal and turn off pro power onboard. That helps me get better range. In this case the change in elevation also helps, and the fact that my max speed was 55 except for the last 40 miles that were 65-70. If I wasn’t driving on the interstate for that last little bit then I would have gotten even better range.

Congratulations! Welcome to the family. Hope your road trip went well!

Drove through a Tornado in Kansas on Friday night, then made it to the Pacific by Sunday afternoon along 80..

That’s crazy. Yeah Kansas is pretty windy most of the time. BlueCruise is nice driving through there though. Did it work for you?

Thanks. Yeah the range hasn’t had any impact from any battery degradation, since buying it new. Wow 20k in half a year that’s a lot of miles. Great job!

Thanks! Boy Howdy!. I just hope that by some miracle Jerry Jones sells the team soon so we can have a chance at another superbowl.

Not sure, I haven’t tried looking for that since I can just stop with the unlock button.

lol … yeah I’ve just got used to it by now.

Yeah the platinum has the 22” wheels so the range would be worse for sure. You should be able to get 300 in the summer though., depending on speed and if it’s all in town vs. highway.

What do you usually get?

I’m curious what the platinums get myself.
