autumnwalker Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Sweet!! If I wasn't having such a bad experience with Ford right now that would be my next truck. I figure in a couple of years they will 1) be more affordable and 2) be more available. The new Silverado EV looks like an Avalanche (which I'm not a fan of) and the RAM they have been teasing looks like an El Cameno or some truck / car thing. I just want a normal pickup truck with electric motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Actually - I just read a review from MotorTrend that towing an 8,000 lb trailer the Lightning could only go about 90 miles. That's WELL under what was being reported when it was first being tested. It was suggested 400+ KM with a trailer and 600+ unloaded IIRC. I will bide my time lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 oof - they just announced a $7,000 USD price increase for the 2023 order books. Maybe I'll stick with fossil fuels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 One of the guys at Rally running a solar business owns this, Stephen Vezina. Its a wicked truck but yeah that towing ability really kills the mileage on all the EV trucks. Also with the **** we are dealing with our Fords I probably won't buy one again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is also ****. Compare notes? For funsies - my brand new currently 8,000 km truck has been in the shop for two weeks now while they repair body damage from mis-aligned body panels and replace the transmission (although they are saying it may be the PCM, not the trans now). Total time in shop now is well over a month since I bought it in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Mine has been in the shop 5 months of the past year. Currently transmission issues like yours, they have done the PCM reset and now there is a TSB that will be completed. Tabs brand new mustang with 19000km has scalloped tires and they say nothing is wrong with the car, so we have to buy new tires.....something sketchy there. I have some misaligned panels but nothing big like that at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Sorry to hear of your new-car woes. My Ranger continues to run GREAT. Just over 62,000 km atm. Although I have never abused it, she’s been well put through her paces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Is it the TSB about "shudder at tip in" (attached)? Mine does this shudder thing all day every day. I feel like they wrote this TSB for my truck. MC-10214124-0001.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 That was what they did last time, reset the trans ECM and hope for the best. Now its gasket replacements and other. I am guessing when they pull the pan it will be very shiny fluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
