I purchased a 2025 Plantium with the optional Dark Element option ($1000) in Northern CA in late December 2025. Before taxes, negotiated @ $72k online. No need to spend several hours negotiating on site at the dealership. This is my second online purchase in the last 5 years. Highly recommend.
I spend a great time shopping a new vehicle to buy a rig with enough fun factor, functionality, looks good in the future and modern features that keep me happy for 8-10 yrs. It's worked for me and I'm not worried about my 2025 Plantium resale. Cars are not an investment.

I've had this theory shot down before on this site but here goes... Owner of a late build 2025 Plantium with the latest software. 98% of the time, Sport Mode remains active when the truck is started but will switch to Normal Mode the moment Android Auto loads. The two are related. Prove me wrong.

Owner of a 2025 Lighting Plantium (one of the last made). When starting the truck, I've noticed the Sport mode will remain active from the previous drive but will switch to normal mode at the exact time Android Auto starts. Anyone else notice the same behavior and how to keep Sport mode active...
Recently purchased a 2025 Platinum with the added Dark Elment package. This is the truck I've been waiting for since the inception of the Lightning. It's difficult to explain how a truck owner can live with white leather seats but I digress. Now to the petty part. This is a top tier fully loaded...
My December notice was moved to a FedEx package arriving on 2/2/25. This appears to be the Lectron version (matches the one I bought 9 months ago). Happy to receive a backup from Ford, a company that follows through with a promise to deliver despite the significant delay.
