Question. When do your brake lights come on with 1-Pedal? I feel like every time I let off the accelerator, the brake lights should come on. If they aren’t, do I risk getting rear-ended?

Well, don’t cry. I ordered a King Ranch over a year ago. It was moved In production three times. Now, it’s been built, and scheduled for shipment “within a week” for over two months. My Lightning Lariat SR order came up just before Christmas. It was accepted in one day. Scheduled for the...

I test drove a Lightning in fall. I am a conservative driver, and can get close to 50% electric miles with my F-150 PowerBoost on rural roads tricking the truck into electric, coasting in regen, and braking easy. Not every day, though. The Lightning I did the same easy driving, and was...

Well, my notice came in to order my Lightning. I about fell out of my chair after seeing $78k for Lariat SR with only a tow package. That’s a crock, especially with the likelihood I’ll miss the tax credit by the time it’s built, it’ll cost $6k to upgrade my house electrical service, snd then...

Ford has already said they are coming out with another truck to fill the more futuristic EV niche. The Lightning is for work (yeah, riiiiiiiight!)

Interesting note on the depreciation, Rancheroni. I wonder how that’ll hit me. I put on about 50k miles a year now. In four years at 200,000 miles or more on the clock, who in their right mind will want it? I can see “battery replacement” all over the faces of prospective used buyers. Heck...

I drove a dealers Lariat for a full day, plus. Loved it. After anticipating a $68k truck that is now $83k, I’m out. For a daily driver, it would work, but I’d need to upgrade my home electric service. I had the utility come out. Another $6k. Then, my trips north have about no real fast...

I may be the exception here, but after feeling like I was duped into thinking Ford actually was making an affordable electric truck for the working man, and not some darn yuppie or DINK group, I’m pist off. Ford sang praises that the Lightning would start at $39,995, or whatever the figure was...

I just had a Lightning Lariat ER for over a day. Put several hundred miles on it. I had 2.7 mikes per kW routinely, but got as high as 3.4. I drove over 50 miles to a destination and back, and used slightly over 23 miles of the range. How’s that? Now I’m really intrigued. I might just buy...

Brand new (unopened box) Extang Solid Fold 2.0. Fits 5-1/2 foot bed. I don’t need two covers… only reason for selling. New $925. Asking $750. No risk. Never used. Never opened. It is new. Pictures are of the same exact model cover on an F-150. Fits 2015 to current.

I’ve emailed B&V many times. Not one single response. I love companies asking you to contact them and they don’t have the decency to respond. I guess we all know their customer service is just as poor. Spend your money elsewhere.

$92,914 for a Platinum with ONLY adding max recline seats. This is asinine. All for a pittance of range. I can’t see the Lightning taking the world by storm. ICE’s are here to stay.

I just built a Lariat extended. Only added the extended range battery, which is a package with options like moon roof, etc. Whopping $80,083!!!!!! Standard range? No moon roof allowed. I’m out. Ford screwed us on this. No freaking way I’ll spend $80k for limited range.

Hmmmmm. Something is not adding up. Please tell me 450 miles is the reality on the ER battery when unloaded.

Oops! 2,500 miles per MONTH, although my figures are correct. If I can get along with the 240V charger, for which I have the power now, I can charge my longer days of mileage in 8 hours. That’s dandy. At 2 conservative miles per kW, I’m paying $125 a MONTH to charge at home. That’s a far...

So, question from another angle… I saw $0.39/kW on a Blink charger at my local Ford Dealer. If I log 2,500 miles per week, and get 2 miles per KW, that’s almost $500 per month to charge at remote chargers if $0.39 per kW is realistic. Now, charging at home at $0.10 per kW would be only $125...

I’m not sure I have 100% range anxiety anymore, but rather be realistic and prepared. Upgrading to a Level 2 charger at home may not be possible. I can snag 100 amps for the panel in my barn, but charging at night in the summer with A/C on in the house could get questionable. The $10k cost to...

So I’m trying to locate chargers and super chargers near my day to day locations. I had figured I’d plug in every night at home, but that’s looking like it’s not too good for batteries. So, I’ll need to charge every other day… somewhere. I may be at the office, where they have agreed to...

Smoked Quartz was not circled, either. That IS a Lightning color, too.
