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.
Great truck

I bought 23XLT new. I drive 400 -800 miles per week and put 16000+ miles in 7 month. The vehicle handle is wonderful, lane keep assist and range calculations are spot on. I've carried about 1000 lbs on the truck with hardly any loss in range. It gives predictable 300 miles range in summer and 260 mile range in winter. It's comfortable. Updates has improved infotainment. Apple and Google can play integration is flawless. Ford support is excellent when it came to 1 issue when the truck won't start. It was blamed on software update glitch and I had to rent a car outside of Ford coverage. Ford roadside sent debit card to reimburse rental. Overall an amazing experience and I just don't understand why people aren't ditching ICE trucks. The frunk is spacious and useful when the box is full of cargo and additional space is needed for luggage. Can't do that with ICE, with engine in the front. Power outlets are very useful. It is a very useful utility based easy on ride and easy to drive product. I've driven 13 vehicles in 30 years and driven 1.5million miles. This is the most capable vehicle I've enjoyed so far, having driven cadillacs, Lexus and many other American midsized to large vehicles whichbincludes sedans, vans Suv and trucks.

I run a local service business where I rarely drive more than 50 miles a day. I have power tools that I use at the job site and often had to run a noisy gas generator for power. I was able to ditch the generator and use the Pro Power on board that allows me to tap into the vehicles electric power to run my tools. I can run my equipment all day and use about 10 cents or electricity. We received a level 2 charger last year as part of the purchase of my wife's PHEV. that we never had reason to use. Had a 220V outlet installed in the garage and now use it to charge the Lightning. Have had it for well over a month and a half and have used about $35 worth of electricity to charge. No longer spending $250 a month for gas. Will save over $2500 per year on fuel. No longer spending about 8 hours a year pumping gas at a gas station. No engine to maintain. No transmission. No exhaust system to replace (someone stole my daughter's exhaust system, costing $3500 to replace). The Lightning rides like it's on a cloud. Handles curves better than a ICE F150 because of it's low center of gravity. Extremely energy efficient in around.town driving..Less efficient on the highway..I plan on installing a bed cover hearing that it can help with aerodynamics and highway range. Oh, and it has some get up and go. You hit the gas and you swear your driving a sports car. Very fast. The front trunk (frunk) which is storage vacated by the lack of an engine is where I store most all of my gear. Overall, very functional and efficient for my needs. I don't see me ever going back to a ICE truck again.

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.
