Sure, it’s a different shade of white, but I thought it would look darker. Matte grey sort of.

My truck went in to production today. I have been so excited for it for so long, but I just don't think it's going to work out. It is a 2023 Lariat ER in Avalanche. Hopefully it will be available for pick-up before the end of the year so the tax rebate will still count even though it's...

I'm scheduled for production on the week of October 24th. I got an email this morning that said my order has been updated, but I can't identify any actual changes. I know people have had certain options removed or changed, but I can't see any. Does anyone know if there is an easy place to...

I'm trying to make a decision on whether to wait for the lightning (I reserved within minutes of the reservations going live) so I reached out to the sales manager at my dealership and asked for his best guess on a timeline for me. He said I have a very good chance of getting a 2023 and he told...

I'm in Utah and I reserved my Lightning in the first few minutes of the presentation. I didn't make the cut for 2022. Utah is not a ZEV state and I know I"ll have to continue to be patient. Also, just to short circuit the inevitable comment: I know that we don't know anything for sure. I...

I know everyone who was able to order is very excited. I wish you all the best of luck. But for those of us who didn't make the cut, has anyone heard when the next timeline is for orders? I know I basically have to just wait and see. The Ford Email said " all invitations to order a...

I'm pissed at Ford. But is it fair? Do I just need to be patient and happy? First, I want to lay out the excuses for Ford. Global pandemic, duh! Supply chain problems Demand was way more than they expected There are too many unknowns for Ford to be much more transparent without causing more...

My reservation was made very early during the Ford Lightning presentation, but when I contacted my dealership in November, I was told I was 14/667 in the order. Being naïve to this whole process I assumed that because I was in the top 2% of reservations at my large dealership, I would get a...

I want to order the Platinum, but it really doesn't seem worth the jump of $11,000 from a well equipped Lariat +. Am I missing something? When I'm on the fence, I usually opt for more options, and usually that works out on resale anyway. But I'm not so sure here. I'm leaning heavily...

So I've seen a lot of people try to get their lightning under the $80,000 cap. If the cap is $80,000, that is frustrating, because my Lariat + build keeps coming in just north of that. But I've been doing a lot of digging and I can't find any current $80,000 cap. All I can find about...

Sorry to spam about my spam. I was excited when the notification came through, but it was just Ford telling me I can use Ford Financing up to a certain dollar amount. Not super helpful when there is basically a 6-8 month wait on a Super-duty, Raptor, or Lightning. Even the 2021 F150s...

The chatter surrounding wave 1 was going full blast for weeks, but I haven't seen any update on wave 2. Is the expectation that wave 2 would be about 2 weeks after wave 1? (Which would land it sometime late next week) I really hope wave 2 will be a much bigger chunk of orders. I understand...

Has anyone heard about the speed Ford used to calculate range estimates? I heard from a fleet/commercial sales manager ad a dealership that they expected range to be about 40% less at 70 mph due to the F150's lack of efficient aerodynamics. According to a few articles, The 2018 Tesla Model S...

I legitimately started reserving my lightning within 5 minutes of the reservation system being available, at the very beginning of the Ford presentation. I reserved at the largest Ford dealer in my state, so I'm not surprised there are 667 reservations total, but I'm very surprised that 13...
