Just turned 1 year old, 36,000 miles. Only issue was generic master window switch replacement. No EV related issues yet. Daily driver for my commute ~204 miles round trip. Love this truck.
If I remember correctly the 20" general grabber are 50,000 miles. Got annual inspection last week and looks like I will make it to 40,000 safely. The torque of the truck spins all 4 wheels, so that's surprising.
I am one year in to my lighting, it's my first EV and my 7th F-150. So I am partial to F150s. But so far I have had 34,000 stress free miles. The only issue I've had is a generic F150 issue (window switch), not EV related. This is the fastest and smoothest driving F150 so far. And the savings...
GM is so vain, they think the price cut is about them, not the Cybertruck getting ready to launch:
" Officially unveiled back in May 2021, the Ford F-150 Lightning entered production more than a year before units of the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV began rolling off the assembly line. However...
I'll take ProPower:
"I ask Chris Hamilton, a Controls Integration Engineer for General Motors, to go over the Chevrolet Silverado EV's Offboard Power System. The Offboard Power System allows the Silverado EV to offboard up to 10.2 kW of power to run job sites, power buildings during an...
Starting early next year, Ford EV customers will have access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada, in addition to the over 10,000 DC fast-chargers that are already part of the BlueOval Charge Network. This will give Ford EV customers unprecedented access to...
Good question, I charge my truck in driveway, by passing cord under garage door, I always think about pranksters unplugging overnight. The manual does not mention locking, that I have noticed. Just stopping by pressing unlock:
““Given the Ioniq 5 had only 8 percent charge remaining, we used the F-150 Lightning's 240-volt outlet to provide the vehicle with some extra juice to ensure it could reach the next non-Tesla charging spot. “

Great points, two words you can always say about people liking cybertruck over lightning, “show me” (lol). Completely agree on all you can compare to now, in the wild, is Rivian. The Lightning is my 6th F150 and I love it!
however TFL did do a good side by side:
Day 2 no issues (lol), just glad after all this time it got here. This is my 6th F150, PowerBoost before this one. Just when I thought the PowerBoost was fast...I got the Lightning XLT SR. Amazing truck.
"The companies will test the ability of Ford’s new F-150 Lightning electric vehicle to send power flowing back to a house and connect with the grid, Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley and PG&E Chief Executive Officer Patti Poppe said during an event Thursday night at the CERAWeek by S&P...
The future is on the way. Good to see manufacturers trying different things:
"Now Porsche was able to drop that number, achieved by a Kia EV6, to 2 hours, 26 minutes and 48 seconds, which was enough to take the vehicle the whole 2,834.5 miles (4,562 km) from in front of the New York City Hall...
Same here. Was hoping to get in, will have to be patient. :mad:
"We realize that’s a long wait, so when we say, “Thank you for your patience,” we mean it. We are working on increasing production and will let you know when the ordering process begins."
Yes! Forgot about that:
“To prevent Tesla from using the letter E, Jim Farley's company mentioned a 2010 agreement between the two companies according to which Tesla could not use the letter E as the name of vehicles, reported Automotive News.
Ford then explained that there was a risk of...
