The Insane Journey from a Written-Off Flash to a 'New' Lariat! My own Planes, Trains, And Automobiles Episode!

[Trucked Up EVs]

Recalls, do not deliver or demo notices, blown tires, blizzards, floods, and washouts. I never expected buying the oldest, cheapest, highest mileage EV truck I could find would be this difficult!
But I finally have my filler truck, aptly named QuasiMoto(r) the Franken Truck, that will be my lab experiment for the next 12~18 months, setting out to showcase just how dumb Ford was to kill this amazing truck on the cusp of its long-term success.
Trucked Up EVs will boldly go where no Lightning has gone before to prove it , so 2026 should be prove to be a LOT of fun!

Always enjoy your videos, glad it's a Lightning for a bit longer.

Thank Mal! Means so much! Love the Lightning. Just not feeling ANY love for the company that makes (made) it.

Nice Truck. Great price.

Thanks! I thought it was a heck of deal, especially in Cdn. $s!

Thanks Maxx! I heard and downloaded it last week. I love what can be done with Sono. So awesome!
Send me an email to truckedupevs(at)gmail(dot)com and give full permission to use it for free, & I'll put it in an upcoming video! If Sono provides a music license number or licence format, please include that as well so YouTube doesn't hit me with a copyright strike me for demonetization.
I'll give you credit in the video (whatever you ask for in the email), and I'll notify you when it goes live!

Thank you Nikki! So grateful that you watched it!
Also, thanks to viewers, I should have the keyless entry code taken care of, and I'm back in Vancouver for a shoot mid January, so the dealership will take care of the rest at that time.

Thank you, Chris! Yeah, I'm pretty stoked, even though it was like pulling teeth to get this done.

We have some pretty frustrating hoops that we have to jump through if we buy a vehicle out of state, but nothing like rules you had to navigate.

Congratulations on a great find!!

Great episode. Adversity and challenge create great memories, character, and good content.

Glad to see you will be having a Lightning. We do need to show Ford that it was on the cusp of taking off. Just today, I saw three Lightnings (my most ever per-day sighting). It used to be one per day, two per day is typical. Love my Lightning!

Yeah, it sounds like y’all have some pretty crazy rules up there! I purchased mine in Maryland and drove it home to Texas, none of the craziness that your provinces have but it did cost me a few hundred more doing it that way because of Texas laws, but I saved a ton more than that.
