I came out of a 2020 Lariat (511A?). It was loaded up with pretty much every option except massage seats (not available in a 2020 Lariat). Unfortunately I could not afford the Lariat Lightning that so many people have reviewed here. I had to go for the XLT SR and only added the 9.6 pro power and tailgate step. I added black custom fit (model and year specific) leather seat covers that fit extremely well and give the look and feel of factory leather seats ($600). I just miss the cooled seats!!! I typically drive about 30 miles per day. So charging at home is only done every few days or so. Although, my son just started playing travel baseball so I charge to full each night before his games. That provides enough range for 1.5 hours out and back with a "little" leftover. That's driving WELL above the posted highway speed limits too. I'm not a conservative driver, range wise. I've had only one issue. It would not shift out of park. Shutting it off, opening the door and trying again corrected that. *I do have to say, to the guy who wrote a review for his Platinum Lightning. You had a Mach E and now a Lightning and nowhere to charge your Lightning? Besides that, if you can afford a $125K truck you can afford to go online and buy a $300-400 mobile charger from Amazon to use in the interim. Sorry to be so critical. That just seems odd. I realize every use case is different. But I think you could have found a way to make it work. The truck has its limitations. But anyone spending big money and waiting a long time to get their truck should have had the time to do your research and plan accordingly.
Excellent vehicle

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.

Ford Lighting Worst Buy

The truck is a total pig. Takes 13 hours to charge and a 220 V. The charging stations are mostly broke or lacking the volume needed where you do not have to wait. Over priced and technology is way behind Tesla
Definitely a step up from Tesla.

I bought this truck for two reasons: I have a daily 100 mile round trip for cancer treatments beginning soon. I didn’t want to stop by gas stations, so I can go to treatment, have assisted driving bring me back, plug in at home and go again. I also bought it bc the factory which will make them in the future is 15 minutes from my house, and I want the brand to do well to support the folks in my hometown.

Sparky and the myth

Sparky my 2023 F150 Lightning is a great truck. Comfortable, lots of room, the frunk is really nice to have. Has just enough technology put not to much. Still has knobs for the radio and HVAC. I do not like the idea of going to a screen to find the wipers and anything else that you need in a pinch. The myth is the same for “all” EV’s. Pick a brand it’s the same story. Not enough Range! I have the Extended Range Lightning. Approximately 320 miles fully charged. Ford and most EV models do not recommend charging to 100% unless you are going on a road trip. Apparently it takes the life out of the battery over time plus it takes a lot of time to squeeze the last 20% to top off the battery. So following the manufactures recommendation to charge to 80% you only have 200-240 miles of range. You can not count on a charging station on every off ramp on the interstate so you have to stop short to make sure the charging station is available and not out of service. Also usually you will wait in line for a post to charge. My experience is if I stay within my 200 mile radius it’s great way to go especially cause I have solar on my house and it’s basically free for me to charge old Sparky. On the other side road trips are stressful due to the uncertainty of finding a charging station that works and no waiting in line. I just bought an adapter so I can use the Tesla DC chargers. Maybe this is a game changer since the Tesla charging network is plentiful with locations everywhere.
Love it.

I’ve always been an SUV person so this is my first pickup truck. I could not be more happy with it. I try to find excuses just to go drive somewhere. The absolute ungodly power this thing has is crazy. It’s going to end up getting me in trouble. The technology and the bells and whistles on it makes it feel like a luxury vehicle.

If your garage is not connected to your home, be prepared to add wire to support your home pro charger. Extra work be a great truck so far. Learning EV driving is different from combustion, also wish blue cruise updates were more clear about when they come.
