Ford Lightning News

Hi All, I was reading this article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23655071/ford-electric-truck-next-gen-project-t3-blueoval-city Which is great and I know where Mr. Farley was going with the metaphor but when I think Millennium Falcon I immediately hear these sounds… 😂 But perhaps it’s a “Rustomod” Falcon…

The Northeast Lightning Club got a special invite to meet with Jake Jon and a few other Ford employees this morning in NJ. They demonstrated the new Pro Trailer Hitch Assist that will be coming in an OTA update to us hopefully before the end of 2023. It will be sent to trucks with the towing tech package. It was AMAZING. I got to try it first hand and it was an uncomfortable feeling at first to let the truck do the steering and brakes but MAN was it accurate and spot on!

I was invited to the Ford Blue Oval City event yesterday and I brought my 5 year old because he is a huge fan of ford and my Lightning. I’m pretty lucky that my YouTube channel has opened so many doors with ford! This is the 3rd event I have been invited to. We had a chance to meet Jim Farley, get his autograph and meet his team. They are going to invite us to the grand opening of the new factory too. Jim even tweeted me and retweeted my post and I have a tiny Twitter account. Pretty awesome!!! Video will be posted when I have time to edit. I have a few still in line. YouTube.com/jamesklafehn

My first truck was a 1957 F100 metal doors inside and out metal dash rubber floor mate. Now we go to the Lightning it is amazing I can't wait to drive it again after a trip. I put a retrax tonneau top and a rugbed on it Then I had ceramic window tint put on. I put clear on the front and back and 30% on the sides and moonroof and what a deference that made. Now it perfect in my books. My dislikes I hat the Black interior. I open at less two garage doors every time I come home because I can't see the black buttons on the black ceiling. I don't like the way you control the A/C.
