How about don't buy a Ford EV or any other EV. They are all over priced junk, and the u.s. hasn't invested enough into infrastructure to make it reliable or feasible.

I am buying a ‘24 Flash extended range for work. I pull an enclosed 12’ V nose trailer for my business. But I can charge at home nightly as needed and rarely travel more than 70 miles round trip, usually closer to 40. So I expect even in a Minnesota winter this will do everything I need it to do easily!

This is just another reason to never buy an ev!

Really informative video, thank you

Yes there is calculations and homework to do if you are considering EV. I got the 2023 XLT ER back in April and very happy at 10k miles. The incentives were the key for me. MSRP was not good for me. I have Pacifica plug in which I have used on long trips but now with Tesla capability I could do those trips in the truck if I wished. Pacifica has treated me well also at 40k miles. Towing hasnt come into play with me yet. Fuel savings on both these vehicles have saved me enough already for a downpayment on an RV if I choose to in the future. Or, I could say that the fuel savings on both covers the cost of insurance on one of the vehicles for the year. I really love them both and the technology will continue to improve and its all good. The interesting thing is that gas has come down significantly, if it gets to 2 bucks I think the fuel savings may be negligible at my electricity rate on Cape Cod at $.31 kw but even then these 2 would still be excellent vehicles in my opinion. The Pacifica gets 30-32 mpg on just gas and the ride/versatility is very good. The F150 is a truck, does truck things, and the ride is NOTICABLY better than the Pacifica and is an EV which in the long run is going to save me on fuel big time.....unless gas goes to $1??? But lets be real

What gear and assistance level do you recommend for long rides to save battery?

Great video. Mine is a 2010 with 205k miles, the ECM went out a few months back. Got a new one online and had a local locksmith get me a new key and flashed it to to the new ECM. Anyone else have issues with the ECM??

I have a 2023 Lightening XLT. When I saw your video I did some research and that’s not much more expense than a ICE F150 taillight replacement when they have blindside monitoring.

Um. I havent rode a bike in many years. Im about 190 lb and 5"11", and a dude. Should i get the regular bike, or the step thru? Which one feels easier? Also...ive never used shifters before. Thanks in advance! Love your video

Cool product Good luck getting your order or dealing with customer service.

They need to dumb down these trucks. Just an ev battery and that’s it. No other bullshit

So apparently you didn't look at replacement parts cost this time. And anything from the dealer is always going to be a crazy mark up. I'm honestly not surprised. This sounds about right. Cost them so little to make but this is how they make their money. PS. Saying you don't like screaming out electric and having big blue lighting symbols along with a license plate saying EV is a bit contradictory.

I also have a 2023 Lightening XLT. I’ve had it about 7 months and it’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. I’ve had an Explorer, an Expedition and 4 ICE F150’s and the Lightening is by far, my favorite!

I like the part at 2:47. With all due respect but what did you invest in because the lightining will lose 40 percent of it value in 24 months.

So i just saw part of your video about the rear lens, & having a back-up radar sensor, etc. So ive worked on radars (not for vehicles), and that lens is basically a radome for the back up radar sensor. It acts as a protector, and can be designed to be tuned such that it optimizes operation at the freq of the sensor behind it. In your case, I think its almost $2k because its a single assembly piece with the entire taillight.

wear a helmet

You’ve mentioned being on the Lightning forums. Can you recommend a good one?

Slow down....drive 55 and you'll be amazed

Any update on these tires. Are they holding up well?

Still holding up? Just ordered a set for my Jeep

I'm not sure in what universe this is cost effective in any capacity. The depreciation first of all is insane. Second even if you buy used at 50k any repair will be very expensive let alone trying to find any mechanic outside of the ripoff dealers. In 2019 I bought a ICE Tahoe with 32k miles. 5 years later it has 66k miles. Costs me about $1600 a year in gas. How do you manufacture electricity? Hint...it's not clean 😕 So why a 7k lbs truck? Why put yourself through range anxieties? Why would anyone be willing to wait 1.5 hrs to "fill up" on the road? No thanks!

You gotta be a ford exc or investor in ford.

Question. Have you ever charged your truck and let it sit to see if you lose a percent of charge per day? Lets say. You charged 2 weeks ago. And checked power level and it says 95%. Have you down a test like that?

Solar ? So you traded a light bill. For a solar panel bill. Your ripped off. At least i know unplug everything except fridge and necessary items and my light bill drops. You get a 2% increase per year for like 25 years for the panels that last 18 to 20 years. Your logic. Ain't logic

Nice paint

Truck sinks for RV towing

Can you take the key out after it’s on?

Just got a Silverado EV. Went 85 miles towing an 8k travel trailer and 1000 lbs of gear (dirt bike generator etc) and a family of 5 up to 8,600 in the Sierra Nevadas. It did great and I made to to the campsite with 93 miles of range and 42% of battery left. The way home the downhill regen was amazing. I got back with 38% battery left. (City driving is rough on batter) it did soooo much better then I thought it'd do. Bigger battery is worth it.

I enjoy my 24 Lariat. You nailed it when you said you feel refreshed after driving it. It’s the same for me. Can’t put a $ sign on that.

This explorer is good I got mine with 400 k mileage I changed oil seal and gaskets…always maintain transmission engine oil…coolant …tires…AC filter and condenser cleaning

Thank you for sharing. Does U-Haul trailer has brake? It may lose energy instead of regen-braking.

Just got 16' Limited, 182k, with a 3.5 Eco boost. Changed the the plugs and so now we'll see. I like it so far. We had a Sport Trac for 18 yrs, an Eddie Bauer before that. We were going to get a 4Runner, but came across the Expedition and couldn't walk away. We must be genetically Ford.

I have a 2023XLT standard range no tow package lightning I pull a 5000 pound trailer all the time and it handles it perfectly!

I own a 2021 F-150 XLT 3.3 liters I been thinking to sell it and get me a lightning. I refinance this truck and I still Owed $23k still any suggestion?

Nice job with the video congrats on the vet!

What exhaust setup is that?

Great video. What is the cover that you have on your frunk emergency release button? If you have a link, please let me know. I need one to prevent accidental pressing when items shift in the frunk.

I have a 2003 EB 5.4 I bought in 2006. As of today 141,000 original miles runs amazing but from first day shakes and rattles like crazy. Your rims have 6 U's all the ones I seen on the web have 5, are yours original?

EXPECT auto insurance to quadruple... 4x Minor 2022-car accident with a landscaping rock, cost insurance $22,000.00. It took out the passenger front corner plastic, headlight, front tire, strut and steering rack, and broke the engine block oil filter mount.

If you have safety glass coverage, that should be a covered claim and deductible is usually less than your comp deductible and should not count against you. Talk with your agent and not the claim department

When I to replace one of my headlight cover on a Sierra, it cost me $1400. Was just the cover but you had to get the whole assembly.

Intresting, if i recall. The gas f150 would be around $750 per tail light. Im windering what oushing the price up?

Do you still enjoy this tire after more time of use?

Love my 23' Platinum, only complaint I have is that the All Around Camera doesn't work if you're going 5mph or more. So dumb.

Lets hope you don't have my luck. Because if you do, someone will rear end you just after you replace it. Then your insurance will total the whole thing because the cost to replace the bed, and other parts will exceed the trucks value.

Thanks for the heads up.

wow! i just replaced the entire passenger side of the bed and the light for less than that on a non electric f150 xlt

Much cheaper on eBay. OEM parts from dealers have a ‘go away’ price.

seems like you could easily protect that tail light instead of making it bulge out and become a target. You'd be better off sacrificing the quarter panel than a tail light with those prices. I have the Ford E Transit and so far so good.

*Like because it doesn't 'call attention' to itself. *Puts EV Truk license plate on. LOL. Get back to me in 10 years.
