5 Things I Hate About Towing With The F-150 Lightning!

I ordered an A2ZEV Tesla charger for my Lightning. Took 3 weeks to arrive. I used it last night. OMG!! Game changer!

Totally agree on the turning radius. I noticed that day one in the dealership parking lot… a problem with or without a trailer. Chargers without pull through ability is pure shortsightedness. Sites should at least apply the 80/20 rule and make a few stalls pull through. Thanks for posting.

I absolutely love my lightning platinum. It is the most efficient truck I've ever owned. With kwh costs being just $.08/kwh in winter and $.12/kwh in summer and now I've been recently charging from my solar system on really sunny days.

I tow with my lightning platinum all the time. There's never an issue. I don't believe I'd have any problems with my truck even if I was to overload my trailer . Since I only use my truck locally when I tow, there's never a range problem when towing either. I wish Ford would've come out with this truck a long time ago. I wouldn't have had to put all that gasoline in all my gas guzzling trucks that I've owned. I've had my sokar system since 2010, which I could've used to charge it when I had excess solar power. I would've recouped the cost of my solar system much sooner.

I'm not saying you aren't having problems with your 4 wire connector , but I've used several trailers with 4 wire connectors and haven't had any problems with any of them. I open the spring-loaded door with my left hand and plug in, and pull out the connector with my right hand . I suppose if I let the cover snap shut, it could damage my wires. But I never let go of the cover until it's resting on the connector.

I'm puzzled that Ford screwed up the trailer plug thing on the F-150. The Ford F-150 is supposed to be the most popular truck of all. Towing is supposed to be one of the major reason people get trucks. Why would Ford screw up the socket for the four prong trailer plug that badly on the F-150?

There been reports on the F150 lightning that loses range. Use one hand to hold the cover and the other hand plugging the trailer wire connector in

I've often thought Ford could've done a better job with the turning radius. With all the batteries so low and well distributed, i doubt there would be a roll problem regardless of how sharp it turned.

I have a Lightning Flash on order but it appears that Ford has stopped shipping all lightnings. Not sure what is going on. Would be great to see a video explaining the situation. Love your videos. Great sense of humor.

In other words, 4 of your main points can be put down to, charging an EV truck on the road sucks, at least for the moment.

thats why i tell everyone if i couldnt charge at home i wouldnt own an ev. and i dont travel any farther than my charged state

Great video, still want the Lighting ;)

Could to get a 7 pin to 4 pin that's what o did

Thumbs down just for clickbait & that goddamn thumbnail lol. You gotta stop.

Is Cybertruck not simply an SUV for uncalloused hands. TINO?

Non Tesla Chargers are such crap ! They are getting better but they are still crap ! And the speed of most chargers ( non Tesla ) that are reliable are 30 -100 kw . There is a ChargePoint in my town that is always working with no issues but it’s freaking measly 62kw. Also a 30kw ChargePoint at the Kia dealership that while free is SLOW! I’ll happily pay for reliability and speed ! But EA failed me to many times ! Pass ! Their 350s are broke most of the time ! Their 125s are more reliable but still shit ! If we get reliable charging out there more people will adopt EVs !

Maybe stop with all the extra voice up and down, get to the facts I can't make it through the whole video, LOL
