What is your truck's nickname?

[Ford Motor Company]

I saw this on the Mach-E subreddit, and thought that with the launch of the Ford App* it could be a fun way to share some insight into what we have named our vehicles.

I'm going to ask some folks here at Ford if they have named their Lightnings, and I'll share what they come back with in the comments.

I drive a Mustang Mach-E Rally named Chappel Pone (although I am tempted to get into a Lightning).

*I know you have opinions on the Ford App update. I am passing them along to the teams!

In my household, we just call her, The Lightning.

No nickname.

We call mine Flash. His name was already stamped on his side when I brought him home, we couldn't change it.

Reminds me of Flash from The Dukes of Hazzard. What a name.

In the Ford app, it's just "Jim's Lightning". However verbally it's usually "Big Blue". That is the same name of my previous truck - a 2003 Dodge RAM 2500 that was also dark blue.

Reminds me of Flash from The Dukes of Hazzard. What a name.

But at least your Lightning Flash will move a lot faster than DoH Flash.

I call mine "Spectre". The avalanche paint job and the fact that she's whisper quiet reminds me of a ghost floating around.

It was the first thing I thought of when I had to enter a name.

Skye -The Iced Blue Silver paint matched the color of the sky perfectly on the day I picked her up.

For what it is worth, my wife's 2021 Mach-e GT is named Colin.

My Lightning's name is "Ellie" after the 3rd Lagrange point (L3). In science fiction, there was this notion that either a counter-planet or an alien invasion force was hiding behind the Sun and out of Earth's view - in L3.

I started to seriously think about getting a Lightning right around the time when the James Webb Space Telescope was being launched into the L2 position, so that was the initial inspiration.

Took a little thinking but I came up with:

 

[Timeless Epoch]

Well, if I were going to give my truck a nickname, I'd call it the "Ford HIS-fit misfit...." Still waiting for Ford to fix the truck-Home Integration System communication two and a half years after I got the truck.
