    F150 Lightning

    Can it tow a boat or couple snowmobiles 200 mi into the Adirondacks and I don't have to stop and wait for an open charger, or have to untrailer and re-trailer to get to the charging port, spend time going off route to find stations, etc? Will it use the heater/AC to maintain the battery temp for...

    125 liter fuel tank option...

    Love the 33 gal tank. Can reasonably get 450+ miles unloaded. A lot of factors go into your mileage though.., tires, rear diff ratio, traffic, terrain, air suspension, etc...

    Gas pumping issue

    For me, some pumps work, some don't. Some work too much, and will overflow if I'm not careful.

    Hand fueling gas tank issue

    So I basically ran out of gas today (on "low" and forgot my wallet). I couldn't get back home, pretty much stranded. Fortunately had a 5 gallon jug of gas for our lawn mower in the back. Attempted to add some gas, and it does nothing but overflow. Gas everywhere. Stupid situation. Had my wife...

    I hate modern vehicles [rant]

    I get in my wife's 2024 Acura MDX. The seat automatically scrunches me up practically to the windshield. I press a series of buttons on the side of the seat, and slowly the seat returns me to a comfortable position. Previously, in her last vehicle, a '19 4runner, I'd go to start it. Press the...

    What to expect in the 2nd. 100,000 miles

    Just recently hit 100k, recent issues (last 10k miles) - Air suspension leak and eventual failure requiring replacement ($4k) - 2nd Battery - Alignment - Axle locker error message (ignored for now) - Automatic side-steps (ignored for now, permanently kept stored) - Typical scheduled...

    Trump Shot?

    I was also disappointed to hear the FBI director spout this nonsense. You can separate and reassemble a lower/upper without any tools in 15 seconds. The stock has nothing to do with it. I don't see it as "deflection" or political though. It's just incompetence. FBI director has no familiarity...

    If I have a tonneau cover, can I take road trips with luggage and not worry about theft/water leakage?

    No joints over the bed and edges that overlap the sides and tailgate is a must if you live where it snows/ices imo. Never had an issue with mine.

    Its been a pleasure

    It looks great. I don't have any brand loyalty, I just buy the features/specs/quality that I see as the best. Let us know how it stacks up.

    UGLY

    I wish I had a time machine to 2034 and 2044, to see who if anyone will be driving these.

    Power side step issues

    >Settings >Safety/Driving Assistance >Power Side Step >Change "Auto" to "Store" I haven't deployed mine in about a year.

    Tesla Cybertruck towing 11k lbs in winter...

    Cliff notes: - 90 miles (barely) - slowed to 50mph the last quarter of the trip - required untrailering to charge - 40 mins of charging (not including untrailering)

    Ceramic Coating - Is Lifetime Really Lifetime?

    Had mine done at a reputable shop 2 years ago. They did an incredible job, but honestly now wouldn't recommend having it done professionally. The only things really worth getting done by a pro are paint correction and PPF. No one who doesn't do that for a living themselves can get those results...

    Bugs and more Bugs

    Agree with Steve. Blue was a poor choice. No bug problems with my DBC.... Is it too late to trade it back in for a new color? Warranty? :confused: To be serious, past 2 days were prime conditions for bugs in upstate NY. I drove Albany to the finger lakes yesterday evening and my front end was...

    2023 1500 Limited AC Issue

    Welcome to 5th gen ram ownership. Can I interest you in a RAM Mopar Windshield sunshade (part # 82208802) ? Comes with complimentary aloe vera and heat exhaustion information pamphlet.

    '19 Limited says "Service Air Suspension Immediately" and front end is dropped

    Was dreading this happening the past 2 years as the air suspension occasionally gave error messages like "air suspension cooling down, please wait." Never had it totally fail though, which it now has. As mentioned, the front end is totally lowered, rear raised. Won't respond. It gave the...

    Tow/haul mode always when towing?

    2nd this question. I always use it for my 3200 lb boat. When I don't, the truck acts like it's hauling 10k lbs. I've pulled over multiple times before thinking trailer brakes were engaged or tires flat or something when in fact tow mode just wasn't turned on.

    Some dumb ***** decided it would be a great idea to change lanes without looking

    We could use a good "people who suck at driving" thread. My favorite are people who can't judge distances and relative speeds between vehicles, and try passing on the right multiple times only to fail because they can't see that the gap is obviously going to close before they can sneak by...

    Air suspension stuck in entry/exit - ok to drive and tow?

    I would check for leaks yourself. You can hear them in a quiet garage. Spray soapy water on any suspect areas and look for bubbles.
