Too lazy to search -
anyone have tabs on Lightning sales by year or month since inception?
Would be interesting to see and scrutinize as we await FORD's strategy.
As a new LIGHTNING owner and FORD loyalist I must say the masses have no idea how great this truck is: I've had '13, '16, and '22 F150 CC (all 3.5 ECOBOOST ICE and '22 I traded was hybrid = POWERBOOST) and IMHO this truck is superior to the ICE or HYBRID versions: now getting sales up to where...
I recently bought a DUROMAX 13000 watt trifuel gen which has the 240V receptacle - have used it on the Lightning and my sons MACH E GT for short periods - I need to get the break in hours up to 8 hrs (for 1st oil change on the generator), so will use again soon. Works like a charm - when I do...
Have really not paid attention to the specs for quite awhile but now see F150 has been 150 for years (I've had '13, '16, & '22 F150's & '19 F250) - my tire store does balance/rotations, and I assumed 110-120, but you learn something new every day... 150 it is!
Yes 150 and agreed, highest I’ve seen, but got my torque wrench out and set them all at 150…
Probably relates to the speed/torque capabilities of these machines….
iNTERESTING - Following - my new WHITE Lightning did not come with a bedliner, but I bought a mat (cheap) and put my old WORKSPORT cover on the bed (it's a year old, but still looks NEW - kudos to WORKSPORT for selling a very high quality cover, unlike some other scammers, like PROVEN GROUND -...
Husky Liners Aeroskin II Textured Black Bug Shield
just installed this bug shield - hoping it deflects rocks - had 2 windshield cracks on previous F150 and windshields are up near $1000 - hoping this little uptrurn does the trick!
I must admit, I am a hawk on deals,
but this one is my first lease ever, so I am somewhat in the dark.
I can say the price shown in my lease document is about $6K off MSRP, but also in the lease there's a $9000 promo of some sort - I had initially wanted to take advantage of the $7500 EV credit...
Proud owner of a new LIGHTNING PLATINUM! Pics at the dealership this morning!
Dealership about 50 miles from home - enjoyed the drive home -
very familiar cockpit to my '22 Powerboost, except for the gargantuan SCREEN!
Having to learn a few new things, but it sure is a beauty!
Well hope I don't jinx it, but getting my '25 F150 Lightning PLATINUM in "Star White Metallic"
in the AM -
PUMPED!
I'll post pics tomorrow -
I have to say got much excellent info here (this site) to help me pull the trigger -
Thanks!
Wow! -
that will be awesome -
gas saving will easily pay for insurance increase!
Preliminary estimate is my insurance will go up $22+ / month, and that would be for any new vehicle of comparable value, I think.
Thank you!
Should have a LIGHTNING within a few days - trying to calculate my electricity increase vs my current ICE gas cost; on my F150 PB I spend $200/ month on 1300 miles so cost per mile is $.154.
Our electric rate gets higher more we use: sweet spot is 1000 KWH (which I struggle to reach in fall &...
I told them delivery does not count according to IRS rules, so needs to be subtracted to see where MSRP falls vs the $80K cap - theres a good thread here going back to May where this issue is discussed and it looks like FORD is the culprit by not getting eligible VINs to the IRS timely, so this...
Have never entertained a lease - did not want to limit annual mileage, however I'm at about 15,000 miles annually now, so looked 15K and 13.5K, which is what I'm going with - good points on the "no fee" payoff, which I'll check on. Thanks.
Had my deal set - decent numbers on a Lightning LARIAT: was on way to dealership to trade my PB >>>
my salesman called saying, IRS won't approve LIGHTNING for the $7500 rebate (which all FORD dealers say is good thru Sep 30!)
Anyway, before turning around and going home, I decided to keep going...
