I bought my Lightning Pro at end-of-model-year pricing, which helped big time. Savings paid for the trip from Arizona to Seattle and back, with money left over. The trip from Seattle blew the 'free charge' budget that came with the truck, but the only range anxiety I experienced was when I ignored the advice delivered by GPS mapping. I never ran out of charge. I also bought a home charger, not from Ford but LectronEV, which severely drops the price per KWh versus commercial charging stations. I saved enough over two months to pay for the charger - it plugs into a 50@ dryer outlet, not a standard 110V outlet. Commercial chargers costs are comparable to pumping gas. The truck itself has plenty of 110V outlets, inside and out. In a power outage, plug appliances into the truck. When the truck gets low, drive to where there is power - which will require awareness and planning. The Bad I keep getting alerts to take the truck in for service. I took the truck in for 10,000 mile service. I can't prove they did anything, but they said they looked at tire wear. I don't recall if they claimed to have rotated the tires. A mile or so from the dealership, the Service Vehicle light came back on. Every now and again, the computer pukes itself. I can't get make GPS to work. The only thing I can do is factory reset it, which loses all GPS memory. The seats are higher than comfortable, so I picked up steps in case a passenger needs them. Much cheaper than adding running boards that might get damaged when I'm running off road. No advantage is gained driving through mud from all wheel drive (AWD). This is a problem in southeast Arizona, where we experience seasonal monsoon rains. The bonnet gets stuck, sometimes, when I put something in that the geometry doesn't like. I'm left standing at the front of the truck, banging on it or trying to find another way to make it release so I can re-jigger the contents so it works again. So far, I have been successful, but it should be a concern for owners that no (consumer) manual trunk override seems to be available. For one example, I parked too close to a tree, and a slim branch got caught in the seam. For another, a cooler somehow impeded the bonnet's travel. Distracting alerts pop up on screen. Many of the alerts are absolutely unimportant, but want to take my eyes off the road. Ford needs to add a heads-up display like I once had on a Pontiac Grand Am. It's been over a year of ownership, and indicated range after a full charge has dropped. I have no way of knowing whether this is due to the truck's software learning my driving habits, or from a diminution of real battery capacity. There is a serious lack of transparency about the Lightning. After ordering the Tesla adapter in February of last year, it recently arrived. Why would Ford NOT automatically spray in truck bed liner by default? Should be part of the manufacturing process. I masked and sprayed truck bed liner in myself. The bed is too short for 4'x8' sheets of drywall or plywood to lay flat. Conclusion All those negatives should be weighed against the positives. The truck costs about $140 per month less to keep charged than my (already sold) Xterra to keep fueled. It dusts almost any IC vehicle when the light changes to green.…

Great Truck for In town commuting & DIY

I’ve taken this truck on long trips and hauled anything from furniture to cement. It gets the job done, comfortable seating along with good technology. I would recommend for anyone who needs a truck and is not constantly hauling heavy payloads as it does diminish the range per charge. Fuel/Electric economy is very comparable to a Prius.…
