I've got Payload envy! My '18 Ecoboost Platinum has 1512 lbs payload, the one '21 Powerboost Platinum I looked at earlier this year only had a 1279 lb payload capacity. :cry:
If you're putting a thousand pound camper on your truck bed, I think all bets are off. But that's going to be true in an ICE F150 as well, possibly more so. My '18 ICE F150 Platinum has a 1512 lb payload, and the '21 ICE F150 Platinum I looked at only had a ~1300 lb payload. It remains to be...
Can you confirm which color the first truck is? Post title says Iced Blue Silver but text in post says Iconic Silver. Whatever it is, I really like it! As a current owner of a Ruby Red, though, that Rapid Red is going to be hard to pass up!
For me, it's not the tow capacity of the Rivian that concerns me (my boat weighs <7000 lbs), it's just the general size of the truck relative to my boat. I already use mirror extender add-ons to my F150 while towing to help me see around my boat. The Rivian is almost 9 inches narrower than the...
I believe the tailgates are unique to the Lightning, at least some of them, and are different depending on the Lightning model.
Plus, I think supply constraints shared with the gas versions could still wreak havoc on Lightning deliveries, the problem is you don't know which part is going to...
For now, it's Lightning only for me. The CT is a non-starter, I just can't get past the looks. And the R1T is too small. In actuality, it would probably be fine for me but I've grown accustomed to the space of a full size truck and wouldn't want to go down to a compact size truck.
The real benefit is for people that are not already proficient. For someone such as yourself that is already proficient at backing up a trailer, the extra tech features might make your life a little easier but it won't be a game changer. The real value in the technology is for those people who...
Now that it's been confirmed that MSRP = Invoice, anyone know what places like Stephens Auto are doing that were previously stating they'd sell for $500 over invoice?
I think that's huge news! In addition to saying the 15K number in 2022 was wrong, he also said they want to be at full capacity of 80-90K by 2023. If they can put out 40K in 2022 and 80K in 2023, that 120K should fulfill all orders from the current 150K reservations (even at 80% conversion...
Based on his screen name, I'd guess his house is in Pungoteague, VA on the Eastern Panhandle. If he was driving from there up into Eastern MD, you can see on the map that there are indeed no stations over that way. (I grew up in Eastern VA and have been to the Eastern Panhandle, EA charging...
So no 2nd Gen ICE Lightning decals, then? :D
As an aside the NC Governor just signed a bill banning Carolina Squat modifications in the state. Takes effect Dec. 1, the penalty for those in violation is a mandatory revocation of license for at least one year.
Small distinction (and open to interpretation), but based on the wording that the 2nd gen would be available in late 2025, it's probably a 2026 model year. Your same point still applies though that a 2nd gen might be available a year or so after you could get your 1st gen.
I've never been one...
I won't mind paying a deposit when I order, it's the non-refundable part of the OPs post I'd have a problem with considering you're asking people to order a new vehicle sight unseen (at least I think it will be sight unseen for most of us since the majority of us haven't been able to attend in...
In my '18 F150 SCREW the upper tethers don't run over the top of the seat and down the back of the seat to a hook (like they do in our Odyssey). They run through a loop under/behind the headrest and sideways to connect to a loop under/behind the headrest in the center seat. Both outward seats...
Agreed. I originally thought I was going to get a Platinum but after seeing that we may be able to get the Lariat Premium with a couple options and still be ~$9k less than the Platinum, I may go that route. In pictures, I'm not a fan of the 22" wheels on the Platinum anyway, and I can live...
I'm really bummed I didn't even get an invitation to the Charlotte one. I thought it was because I wasn't geographically close enough, but I'm only a 2-hour drive from the Speedway. And I'm a Day 1 reservation holder (within the first 2 hours after the live event started). And I'm a current...
I'm considering changing the dealer my reservation is with and when I spoke with a potential new dealer (whose name has been mentioned on these forums) last week about changing dealers, he told me when I called Ford's 800 number to change dealers I would be refunded my original $100 reservation...
