Troublesome Battery of the Ford F-150 Lightning

I want to share my in-depth disappointment with the Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum series that I purchased in August 2023. At first, my kids and I were over the moon about having this impressive, brand-new electric truck in our driveway. Little did we know that our excitement would soon be overshadowed by a series of issues related to the truck's battery. The saga began when my daughter decided to take the F-150 Lightning Platinum to see a movie with her friend. It was meant to be a thrilling experience, but it turned into a nightmare when the truck refused to start. This issue is not just an inconvenience; it's a glaring fault in the heart of an electric vehicle – its battery. We promptly contacted Ford's roadside assistance, and the truck was towed to one of their authorized dealerships. That's when the real trouble began. It's been a staggering two weeks, and Ford's technicians have been unable to pinpoint the problem with the truck's battery. This delay is simply unacceptable for a vehicle in this price range. The bad battery experience has left me questioning the reliability and quality of the F-150 Lightning Platinum. Electric vehicles are supposed to be the future, promising clean energy and advanced technology, but if the battery can't perform consistently, what's the point? It's disheartening to see such a high-profile model struggle with something as fundamental as a battery issue. Ford needs to step up its game in terms of battery technology and diagnostics. An electric truck like the F-150 Lightning Platinum should not leave its owners stranded or waiting for weeks for a solution. My faith in this brand and model has been significantly shaken, and I hope Ford takes these concerns seriously. In conclusion, I cannot recommend the Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum series, especially if you're looking for a dependable electric truck. Until Ford addresses the battery and reliability issues, potential buyers should think twice about making such a significant investment in a vehicle that fails to deliver on its electric promise.

I have mine for a month now. We absolutely love it! Understand towing large loads is a pitfall for many, and I get it. But, I’d guess better than 60% of F150 drivers use them as daily commuters and for weekend chore duty. All things that make the Lightning easy to live with. Operating costs depend on your local, but here in Ohio I’m operating at about 20% (charging at home) of a normal F150. I haven’t even calculated the reduced maintenance costs yet. Needless to say I’m a very happy Lightning owner, excited to see how the tech evolves. Lariat/EB

I took delivery in October 2022, have 12,000 miles on my extended range Lariat model Lightning now. I love this truck. It charges at home with ease, the software updates are seamless and done automatically. I routinely drive it at least twice a month on a 120 mile trip to pick up feed and groceries, we live at 7,000 ft elevation in rural Colorado. It carries the pallet of 22 bags of feed (50 lb sacks) which weighs around 1100 lbs in the bed, with ease. And fits 4 bags (200 lbs, half of its weight capacity) in the front trunk. The cab is roomy, and with all the charging ports, we can plug in anything we want. This truck is not only beautiful, but safe and secure on icy roads, and works like a truck while driving like a sports car. Amazing truck.

Great vehicle, I use this as my daily driver and drive about 80 miles a day and I am able to change overnight without issue. I use a 240 circuit and 24 amps. I don't tow or haul often and if you do this may not be the vehicle for you but for me it is fantastic

I here a lot of negatives on the lightening around quality. I haven’t seen any of those. Very happy. Everything other reviews say, fast, drives great. I also own a Tesla Model Y and would say software and ease of use isn’t in Tesla’s league although it improves every auto update. The Blue Cruise absolutely blows away Teslas auto pilot cruise. That was pleasant surprise. The other negative is long road trip charging. Really iffy. But the Tesla Supercharger network will fix that problem. Bring a Tesla owner the Supercharger network is absolutely outstanding.
