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
Ford has no idea what they’re doing

I bought a 2023 Lariat package and have had nothing but disappointment from Ford. They obviously have no idea what they are doing. Since day one I’ve had nothing but problems with the software and the best Ford can tell me is that they’re expecting a software update some time at the end of February. This has been going on for over 2 months now and Ford doesn’t seem to think this is a priority for them after having sold me a $90k truck. In contrast I also own a Tesla and their technology is by far superior. No issues with software updates. If there’s an issue that needs to be resolved it’s done a Lightning speed. Never again Ford. Your customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

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).

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.

Have over 13k miles in just over a year with my standard range Pro. I owned at least 8 new cars/suvs previously from Honda, Mazda, Acura, VW, BMW and Jaguar, including some EVs . . . and this is by far the best of the bunch, and it's the lowest trim work truck version. Cabin is quiet, spacious and comfortable. Easy to clean vinyl floors fit my lifestyle just fine. 5.5' bed is just fine. I hauled a big load of roof tiles no problem. 775lb ft. of instant silent torque is a dream, as is topping up the battery at home overnight, just like a cellphone. The mix of comfort, powertrain, solid build, low maintenance (only one tech issue) and practicality (I don't tow) cannot be beat.
