Anyone else find it odd that the Platinum doesn't have Platinum on the tailgate like the other platinums?
I prefer the look of not having a giant plaque that says you have an expensive truck across the back of it.
I am still between iconic silver and star white, both of them look good to me.

I wonder if it has the same annoying fake engine noise as the PowerBoost, or a more pleasant "electric vehicle" sound

It was definitely the same in the video with Biden driving it, you could hear it as they pulled up. They probably designed that thing with the Lightning in mind also know they’d have an early use for it with the PowerBoost.

I don't love the wheels. Too spacey, futuristic-ish. But I'm digging the ice blue silver (if that is what it is).

When Ford switched to an aluminum body for the F150 in 2015, I wonder if they had an all electric F150 in mind and the benefits of the vehicle being lighter because the battery is so heavy.

Just a thought.
Shame Aluminum is trending to hit record high costs and the F150 is full of it. I only see even more price increases so the illusion most of the public has waiting to buy gas or EV F150 prices will come down in a year is unlikely.

I really like that American flag emblem on the tailgate, hadn’t noticed that before.
Built in the USA, rather than Mexico like my last F-250.
