Love it. I might spray the rails with bed liner before installing. Thanks!

I bought this charger with my 2023 standard rage lightning. It was good at first but I noticed that on hot days it cut the charging speed in half on my NEMA 1450. After a charge for a little bit it would start flashing orange when it overheated. I ended up buying a permanent charger plug into my email 1450 which worked much better. I think $500 is excessive for this charger. You could find portable chargers that are well built for about $250 or $300.

Does the control have a stand or did you buy separately? I don’t plan on drilling the control to the cabinet

Great video. Definitely cannot believe that Ford went with that 6 foot antenna!

Did you find a way to play audio from ps5 through the truck?

The lack of proximity unlock breaks my brain every single time! I use the keypad at least half the time! I have the same truck, color and all and I love it!

looks great. just look up issues with different metal types touching

Took a while for yt to show me yours. Youre right about not a lot of videos about this. Im tryin to get mounts lower so i might try that bottom bar. Thanks for the info

Hi I love your content! I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration. Could you let me know the best way to reach you? Thanks!

So your first tip is only for Fords and not Android Auto itself at all?

Where can i find those spacers

Sunrun installed a defective roof on my house about 2 years ago. I could never get anybody to come out. Finally they made me sign a paper under duress to get someone else to fix it. I was under the rest because there were open range that someone would not address they wouldn't offer to temporarily pass the house or put a tarp on or anything so I was forced to use this other contractor. However one yet more damage showed up from the faulty roof they tried to blame the the company that made the repairs. But it was Sunrun who installed the the bad roof. I contacted a company to repair the further damage they gave me a quote of 23,000 to fix all the faulty construction on the roof even though the roof has a 25-year warranty Sunrun refuses to come out and fix it any longer. I will actually have to pay to fix this roof out of pocket even though I had a 25-year warranty. Sunrise abandoned me and never Rose to the occasion at any time. Endless emails and phone calls to various people all purporting to help

I'm considering getting a Lightning and I think the mobile charger might be the preferred choice at the moment. I care less about the "smart" BS built into other chargers, since, from what I can tell on their reviews, they're finicky and glitchy, and malfunction half the time. I just want a charger that works...every time. Can't believe Ford don't supply the portable charge cord with the Lightning anymore. That's just ridiculous. The Ford Charge Station Pro looks massive in comparison to the portable charger, but if the portable charger is hooked up to a 240v plug, they're supplying the same power, right? So why bother with the Pro? Just curious.

Most informative video I’ve seen so far… thanks!

I've had mine since March 2024 and completely missed the camera button. I do have it - I just checked and will be using it a lot for parking. Thanks!!

Exactly what i was looking for! Thanks for the set up tips!

The negativity (and ignorance) on this post is astounding. Crazy how offended people get by other people’s life choices that don’t affect them. 😂 Not everyone that drive EVs are driving them for whatever political reasons people in this thread seem to feel. Different strokes for different folks! Keep it up, Joseph, and keep the content coming!

This video needs to be updated as depending on the size of your infotainment screen and with the new Android auto you can no longer move those widgets it shoves Maps up in this crappy little rectangle up at the top now and puts your weather and your music down at the bottom and you can't swipe either one away anymore

What I'm getting with 120V charging is about 1.15 KWH per hour with the Ford portable charger discussed in the video.. I get around 2.2 miles per KWH so I get about 2.5 miles per hour of clock time which isn't bad because you can add 25 miles in 10 hours. I also have the Ford Charge Station Pro but when I need to do 120V (household outlet) charging the portable charger works really well. . Now the Ford Charge Station Pro is completely badass - last time I charged on it I added 71 KWH in 5 hours and 25 minutes. So in that time I got 158 miles of range. I have the long range version F150. I highly recommend both products - the portable charge and the Charge Station Pro.

Great Wrexham shirt!

When I switch android auto to dark modus it doesnt go dark, instead it just lowers the screen brightness. Any clue what is going on?

How much does running an air conditioner in the car slow down the overall charge progress on the EV's battery?

Yep he can play video games wow can you do anything else but play video games

Ye let's sitt for hours and play video games In My truck instead of finishing the road trip early

Refueling a vehicle should never take so long that you have time to play video games.

Idiotic!!!! More to the point, it is stupid. Time is money, and we only have a limited amount. Why on hell waste time????

The money you allegedly “saved” over a gasoline truck is eaten up by the horrible range when you actually use it as a “truck” and your time must be worth nothing since wasting two hours waiting for your vehicle to charge is money and time lost.

Pure cope. Your truck doesn’t function well as a truck. It’s a marketing gimmick at best. You overpaid for a piece of junk.

These EV owners keep trying to justify and make themselves feel better for spending 70 K or more on a piece of battery crap glorified cell phone with wheels

What a waste of money time in life having to sit in your vehicle for 30 minutes to an hour to charge only to go 500 miles meanwhile, as people with gas vehicles will fill up one time and go that whole 500 miles while having the AC on jamming the radio and doing 100 miles an hourand then take another five minutes to fill back up and go another 500 miles

Quick reality check once the government doesn't want you to make it to your destination, you won't be able to charge

yep..didn't want to get there anytime soon....huh....what was the time wasted to go 500 miles ????

Stupid can’t be fixed

If that's an improvement we are all fucked

😂me who filled up in 5min & got back on the road

Dude nice wheels ! Any vid coming up on wheel upgrade pro/cons? Level kit?

I wouldn't buy a car that a company has to give away at a loss because it costs more to make than it's valued. They could stop producing / supporting it at any moment in order to cut their losses. That doesn't sit right with me.

Or you could a truck like mine and drive the entire 500 miles on one tank with a lot left over and worry about it. 20mpg x 36gal tank = 720 miles.

Or you could fill up in 5 mins and be back on the road

I use hot glue gun to hold parts together temporarily. I have a china gun that takes dewalt batteries. Works really quick

Where u buy all that, what’s the last upgrade for? To mount a phone?

Hello Joe. I just purchased a Lightning Pro Extended Range along with the Ford mobile cord. I have read online that this shouldn't be used as an every day (or an at home) charger, but you're saying that it's okay?

Why not use L track instead of unistrut?

PVC Pipe instead of square tubing for spacers!

Beaver Nuggets 😂

Remember that 100% is really not 100%….they accounted for that in the buffer 😊

I e-mailed the contact at Ford to start participating in the test of 5.0…waiting to hear back from back from them.
