‘23 Lightning Lariat black
Occupation
Retired
Bought ‘23 Lariat in L.A. Drove to Boston and back in six days returning with a small inboard boat. Fifteen trips deep into Idaho, and several full length of CA round trips.
A lot of EA! but all solar at home.
Should come with a label: Must be an EV enthusiast to enjoy if you like to - or have to - drive A LOT.
Smart Cap on the back, Open Road roof top tent on top, Doberman and German Shepherd in the back. Rear seats removed, Dometic drawer refrigerator in place of “40”/60 seat.

22 LIGHTNING PRO IcedBlueSilver 8/23/2022
Occupation
Owner
with 49,00 miles, I just today had my first and only trip to my dealer, thus far, for a 50,000 mile 'checkup'... $44.32

nothing to do, other than a tire rotation... brake pads are just fine. Everything is just fine.
I declined all recall and customer satisfaction updates.

I bought my lightning in LA and drove it back home to Michigan. 4 days and I think 12 total charges. A couple were free at the hotels I stayed at which was nice. I think it’s a great road trip vehicle especially with BC. I drive back and forth to LA a few times a year for work. 3 months and it’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. Most charging was Tesla. Found them to be more reliable as well as cheaper than EA.

see the many threads that show how many issues have been caused by untrained ford techs running CSPs and actually making features worse or nearly bricking trucks. It’s a good call to wait on some of them.

We love to hear that, Alex! We'd love to see a pic of your F-150 Lightning!
