I acquired my 2022 Lightning xlt in August 2021 It’s October 2023 and 24000Km later and absolutely the best, the quietest, the roomiest, the most trouble free experience of my life. It’s easy to charge at at home and I rarely need to charge it elsewhere and when I have it has become more convenient each passing day ! Charging away from home requires a bit of prep time on the net planning your charging stops but again easier with every long distance trip. 90% of my charging is done at home and during the low cost hours between 7pm and 7am . A 10 -85% full charge costs about$6.00 but will change in Ontario Nov1 when the rates are mandated by the government to fall from 7.4 cents per KWH to2.4cents per KWH Then a full charge will cost a max of $2.40. Compared to my wife’s Cadillac XT5 at $100 No oil changes, no antifreeze.. and the savings add up quickly . An Ev lifespan is almost twice that of an ICE vehicle . Ford warranties the battery for 8 years! My Lightning exceeds my expectations in every way! I love it.
Next Level F-150

To be truthful, I would rate it a 4.5. It's an excellent V1 e-truck. It delivers improved stability (due to weight and independent rear suspension), provides a quality trim (but not necessarily best-in-class), the build has a perfect fit & finish, it provides a convenient "Frunk" with comfortable seats, it is super quiet on roads, and a so-so Infotainment system marked by slowness and lack of multitasking capabilities, Wireless CarPlay is nevertheless a plus. Sadly the 2022 version will not be upgradable to Google Automobile OS (a big miss on Ford's part). A standard range battery is perfect for our use case (99% local driving), and as such, 110V charging is all we need due to the low mileage. The ordering process was relatively painless but not completely frictionless. As this is an F150, accessories options and availability is plentiful, which is a plus. I would have liked: 1) better cooling front seats, an option for massaging seat (non Platinum), heated rear seats (VT winters), a reclinable back seat for more comfort, and a HUD option (once upgraded to Android Car OS). Note that faster-charging capabilities are hampered by the evolving charging network, even if the truck maxes out at < 150 Kwh. In the future, and maybe once Tesla's charging network is opened to all, batteries will need to handle the 250 & 350 Kwh charges to make this truck a fantastic vehicle and worth the Extended range battery option. By the way. I forgot to mention that the F-150 whiplash fast. In conclusion, I love it and am fortunate and proud to own one, as this is our first Ford!

I love my F150 Lightning electric truck!

I have three gas trucks for my contracting business. While I really like them all (2 Chevys and 1 Ram), I've been spending $9,000 on gas! While I have been a Chevy (or Toyota) guy all my life, currently Ford offers the best, work-ready electric truck. I wanted an electric truck for a couple years and finally bought a Lightning about three weeks ago. I love it! It feels like a regular truck that happens to be electric - and that means its crazy fast and offers one pedal driving (which is awesome)! This Lightning has a much smoother ride than my older trucks - in fact the ride feels a little bouncy / squishy, but its smooth for a truck. I bought the Lariat trim. The large sunroof is amazing! and the huge display is great. The seats are very comfortable and the back seat area is huge. My first complaint is that my higher trim truck didn't come with a bed liner, but I just got one sprayed in. I will be ordering a truck cap for it soon. My other trucks have 6.5 or 8 foot beds - I would have chosen a larger bed if that was an option. Hopefully that will be in the future. Charging it has home has been easy. My shop already had 14-50 (50amp 220V outlet) outside. I leave every day with a full battery. I have solar panels on my house, so for 7 months of the year I'm charging for free (after the panels' sunk cost) with green power. And now I laugh when I drive by gas stations (unless I'm in one of my gas trucks - then I cry because it costs over $120 to fill them). I live in Alaska. The range does drop a lot in the cold. Next winter it will be parked in the garage, which will help. This is not the best 'road trip to remote areas truck' (I will keep a gas truck for that), but for a work truck with a daily radius under 250 miles, this truck can't be beat! I also have a Tesla Y that I bought one year ago, when it seemed like that it would be a couple years before electric trucks would be affordable. Suddenly there are great deals on the F150 Lightnings - so I snapped one up - and recommend others do too! If I had to pick one, I'd chose the Lightning over the Tesla because I need trucks for my work. But I still love the Tesla as well. The Tesla technology, driver interface are more advanced than the Ford - they are simpler and more intuitive. The Ford software is okay, but a bit clunkier. The Lariat interior on the Ford is like a luxury car whereas the Tesla's are spartan (but elegant in their simplicity).

Would be 5 star if I didn’t own a Tesla

Everything said by others. No Maintance, Great ride, Low daily cost (about $0.07 per mile charging at home). Had my standard range Lariat for 6 months and 11,000 miles. As I mentioned I also own a 2023 Tesla Model Y performance. Tesla is 10 years ahead of Ford understanding how to make an everyday electric vehicle. Ease of use not even close. The Tesla screen and menu. 4 hours we had it. The ford screen/buttons/levers still learning the thing. Way to much useless stuff (like power button and separate buttons and levers for everything; that don’t correspond to control screen. The charge network on road trip better do your homework. I highly suggest you don’t trust the ford charger route. Go to Plugshare (or other similar app) put in real ranges (especially if wet or cold or really hot) I have had two pull over and find a A/C outlet incidents trusting Ford route. Tesla, don’t even think about, hit supercharger and go. So we pretty much don’t take lightening on road trips. 110ish miles maybe towing anything. But daily commute around farm truck with no maintenance and low drive cost it’s awesome and that’s what we will use it for. What Ford does do better. Ford Bluecruise is hands down better than Tesla autopilot. Ride and quiet. Way superior to Tesla.

The reviews are spot on, it’s everything that’s great about the F-150 and it’s got all the benefits of an electric powertrain. In the month I’ve owned the truck, the ONLY downside has been towing range. I don’t do much towing so it’s not a big deal. I’ve taken it on two 300 mile road trips and they’ve been a breeze and much cheaper than normal :)
