Lightning Pro with cloth seats spotted

[shutterbug]

After owning a black model 3 I will never get a black car again. Looks so good after a wash but then gets super dirty in a couple days.

When I lived in (rains every day) Florida, it took a couple of hours for black car to look dirty after a wash.

Yeah that's why I got black as well. There is also the option of painting or maybe wrapping the bumper to match any color you want. The white truck with black bumper is the worst looking in my opinion

That Anti-Matter Blue which is supposedly really dark in person might be nice on the Pro. Gives it a little flair while still matching the Bumpers, mirror, and omitted front Light Bar.

Agreed the antimatter blue might be my favourite color.. However I believe would still have all the same issues as a black one in terms of keeping it clean

Agreed. I would consider White in another trim, but not on the Pro with unpainted bumpers. That looks too much like a company truck. Although it would be funny to debadge it and put lawn company magnets on the side and then surprise people with a 4.5s 0-60 time haha. Not worth it, but it would be funny.

Are the Black Bumpers paintable? Worth the time/effort/cost?

I call BS on any sources claiming the Lightning Pro is a Loss leader. It's just not going to be as much of a Profit Pig as the higher trims. So they want to make it as unappealing as possible, while still having it in the lineup to lure drivers in at the lower MSRP so that they can upsell them onto the higher trims.

It's quite possible that the cloth will be available only to fleet customers like the extended range battery.

I stopped at my local dealer a few days ago just to try to find Lightning colors on other models outside and happened to find an Agate Black car parked next to an Antimatter Blue one. It was pretty cloudy and neither car was freshly washed, but both look black, although the Antimatter Blue looks less intensely black than the Agate Black color if you stand back and compare. However, if you get up close to the Antimatter Blue you definitely see metallic flakes reflecting blue. It is pretty subtle but I think it’s a cool paint. My current first choice for my Lightning is Antimatter Blue.

Because it is BS. I remember a video Ford put out saying that even at $39,974, the truck is profitable.

Don't get your hopes up on cloth seats in the PRO. You should have seen the first builds of the Broncos that went to crash tests. Mixed dash colors, mixed seat colors, etc. The rumors were flying until we realized that they grab any combo for the test trucks that are heading to the crusher.

Color looks like Lead Foot, not Carbonized Grey.

If I ain't happy with the seat coverings in the Pro, it's a Katzkinz truck within a week.
If it can be had with a nice cloth seat, then no need to "Go Lariat" with Katskinz.

Rapid red would look nice too. I wonder if that color would even be available on the Pro?

Still hoping cloth seat option for the Pro trim!
Hating having to go up to XLT for cloth seats.

Cloth seats a must after 20 years of scorching hot leather....

I agree 100%. This photo had me leaning toward carbonized gray until I saw a few carbonized gray vehicles in person and I am 100% sure this is NOT carbonized gray.

How bad do you dislike the vinyl? Might be worth considering.
