Bittersweet traded in the lightning for power boost

[RI fisherman]

Bittersweet day today traded in my 2022 Ford F-150 lariat after 58,000 miles been a great truck but upgraded the boat this year and the towing range anxiety is a real thing so picked up a new 2025 f150 lariat power boost today so I'm back to buying gas. Thanks to everybody on this form for the information over the last couple years super helpful and getting to know and getting the most out of enjoying my lightning

Nice looking truck. Congrats! I assume the building behind the truck says SERVICE, but it’s funny and appropriate that it just says ICE

Towing long distances is an understandable thing. At least you still have a sweet looking F150. 🫡

decent with the high miles but the EV deprecation is a real thing, thankfully with A pricing right now and some private cash offers from ford made a good Discount off MSRP for the truck, not quite Granger pricing but close!

In another 3 years, hopefully you can resurrect that dusty charger and get the new 2028, 500 mi, 15 min charge Lightning Strike EX.

I am thinking about doing the same thing. I was trying to understand the differences between the versions (like which features are available on one and not another), but I could not find an answer on Ford's website.

Can you help me here highlighting the difference between the trucks?

Did you get pro-power on board?

Are you missing something? Are you happy about having something?

Appreciate!

If it were me, I would sell the house and move closer to the water or wherever before sell my Lightning!

@RI fisherman How far do you have to tow the new boat?

Congrats! I’m holding out to see what happens with the Ramcharger and if Ford/GM follow suit. Could be a good solution for people who like electric but need to tow.

@RI fisherman How far do you have to tow the new boat?

I'm in northern RI in the spring was about 60 Miles round trip(Bay), Boat is a 25 foot center console and all geared up with the trailer its pushing north of 8K lbs. in the summer i like to go further so 110 Miles (Narragansett) round trip is normal i did it last week in the lighting @100% charge and drove 55 with no A/C to test it out. and on the way home may have got some help drafting a box truck lol. got home with 15% battery... a little to close for the normal drive and prevents any further trip like to the Cape or down to CT which i do occasionally and would be able to do without charging
