I appreciate your viewpoint, and I do care about costs but it’s not always the first or most critical factor in my decision making. I guess the fundamental core is I am not nor have I been happy with Ford service and software support with the Lightning prior to discontinuation and I don’t...

I’m not knocking the Lightning as many seem to think, this is simply a personal preference and choice, like what’s my favorite beer or color etc. and as I mentioned in my second post I understand people will have different opinions and thats perfectly ok, thats their personal choice. But to try...

Some very valid points. I tried to avoid the pros and cons discussion in my original post but I’ll elaborate: I’ve owned Ford trucks for as long as I care to remember. I’ve had F350’s F250’s (all Diesel), F150 (ICE) and F150 Lightning. I bought my son an F150 ICE in the last several years too...

Ouch!!! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I don’t experience anything like that! I’ll pop back on here after a month or so to give an initial opinion and feedback on the quality and service.

I averaged about 2.1m/kWh over 22k miles.

Traded it in with Rivian.

Well, I didn’t think this would happen as quickly as it did, but I decided to jump ship and sell my Lightning, reasons are semi irrelevant at this point it just felt right to me at this time. It’s a pity really, the Lightning is a great truck and had a good future but for Ford pulling the plug...

Hmmmmm errr…..ok!? now I better understand….a dealership you be!

I would advise against purchasing a now discontinued vehicle, especially new (regardless of manufacturer), unless it’s a vintage or highly sought after item which I don’t believe the Lightning is or will be. The resale value on these trucks will only get worse if that’s a concern. I still have...

Nonsense from Ford. It’s a free market, let competition reign. Ford simply needs to get its costs in check with what the market is willing to pay!

If I was buying a new BEV truck in the next 6-12 months it would be a Rivian.

Because Ford will spend as little as possible to support “legacy” vehicles which is what the Lightning now is. Hell they did a terrible job with software on the Lightning prior to its discontinuation. I certainly wouldn’t expect them to do anything more based on their track record. Sad as it is...

I voted No, this is purely because I will never purchase a hybrid vehicle which is what the “EREV” is. I plan on keeping my Lightning for a bit (it’s fully paid for) so not a pain to leave it in the drive. When I do purchase a new vehicle I either want full ICE or full EV no hybrid, this EREV...

Ok so there’s the terms of the incentive, why do folks expect more than this?

Still at a loss as to why people feel Ford needs to do anything for them simply because they bought or leased a Lightning? It’s a free market, keep it if you want it, get rid of it if you don’t! Ford owes us nothing! I’ll be keeping mine for the next few years, other than crappy and...
