Having owned both, this is spot on. Rivian wins on suspension, comfort and tech; Ford wins on actually being a full size truck and all the perks of being an F150 (body on frame, accessories, service locations, etc). I prefer the Rivian, but only because I'm a weekend warrior and I don't need a...
Selling my brand new, never opened Ford Charger Station Pro.
Located in Allentown, PA and asking $850 cash. I frequently drive to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, North Jersey and Frederick, MD so meeting up is also an option.
I'll take electronic payments and I'm willing to ship if buyer covers the...

Selling my 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range with Max Towing package. Current mileage is at 988. It's an awesome truck, but it's way overkill for what I need day to day. No lien and title is in hand for a hassle-free process. Asking $92,000.
Edit 10-Oct: Buyer's financing fell...
I just updated the tracker with my build date and pickup date (tomorrow!). I couldn't find the blend date on my window sticker and the Ford tracker doesn't list a date for Shipped Date.
I would think the 2022 order counts as a "binding order" similar to what I have with Rivian and Lucid. That would mean OP is eligible for the old $7,500 tax credit rules if delivery is taken anytime after 12/31/2022. If delivery is taken before then it's a moot point.
The current Lightning will do a great job replacing most trucks on the road that never leave the pavement or haul more than kids or groceries. A dedicated platform will improve both performance (efficiency/towing range) and manufacturing cost. Right now towing on any EV truck is a joke and...
The only thing I see for MY23 is a large increase in MSRP across the board (~$5k or more). Ford cared way too much about the PR of announcing a $40k Lightning Pro and then barely made any available for retail customers (likely because they are selling them at a loss). Raw material costs are way...
This. If people think the current chip shortage is bad, just wait til the real supply chain crunch hits battery supply. People also forget how high Tesla's margins are on their current vehicles and they will only get better as they ramp their in-house 4680 cell production.
Tim is the man and a very rare exception in the industry. The vast majority of dealers have been doing the absolute bare minimum for decades and cashing their middle man check.
I think there is a good chance other vehicles would work that support V2G or V2H like the Hyundai Ioniq5. Ford has partnered with Sunrun to make it work and nothing I've seen is proprietary to Ford. Wallbox for example has announced their newest charger, the Quasar 2 will allow vehicles to be...
The Silverado is also designed to be an EV from the ground up whereas Ford shoehorned batteries into the current F-150 to get to market faster. $40k seems unlikely to be widely available just like the Lightning Pro. I'm curious to know how you like the Ioniq 5, shoot me a PM when you get a chance.
