Poor EV range on the highway

I have had the 2023 Ford F150 Lightning platinum about 2 months- Great fit and finish Super smooth ride and Glides on the highway with ease- Super fast- Looks great- Plenty of space- Lots of storage space Leather seats are comfortable but they need more thigh support- Infotainment is not easy to operate- Most disappointing thing is the range of the extended battery pack- I bought it with the understanding that I could get at least 80% of the estimated range- 240 miles I commute 220 miles per day- Mostly Highway Capacity drops from 306 miles to 90-128 miles after driving 110 miles to work- This is driving the truck on cruise control 65-70 miles an hour- I am typically the slowest person driving on slow lane on the highway worried that I won’t get to work on a single full charge- I try to turn off the heat and radio to conserve energy and still can’t get the range I thought I would get- Typically I have to switch cars at work to a gasoline car in order to get back home- I leave it charging on a charger at the parking lot in my hospital until the next day when it is fully charged in order to get back home- I have called Ford about this and they tell me range is based on many factors including speed weather electric usage of heat air conditioning etc- So basically I bought a 90k dollar truck that I can’t drive the way I want to because of the poor range of the battery pack. This truck is not for long commutes greater than 100 miles on the highway- City driving is not an issue with the range- The truck would be near perfect if the EV range was truly 300 miles. Unfortunately customers are not informed that if you intend to drive it on the Highway at speeds greater than 50 miles per hour you will only get 50-55% of the range advertised on paper- I believe this is a dishonest practice to sell a vehicle to a customer where specific needs are not met based on the information provided- This is a fantastic truck for short commutes and city driving otherwise consider getting a Hybrid-

Tech is terrible

I love the truck and it is very fast but the technology is horrible. The Bluetooth and car play keep switching back and forth and you can’t have a conversation while using nav. I have reached out to ford several times but they don’t care. Pretty embarrassing to be driving a 2023 electric truck and I have to wear earbuds so I can be on a call. Ford you need to be better than this.

Not ready for the average pickup driver

Even with the extended range version there’s not enough distance available for the average pick up truck user. Towing significantly decreases available distance. It would be difficult to travel anywhere have any significant distance with this vehicle. On the upside it is everything an F150 can be. I can’t wait to see what Ford does with this vehicle in the future. it has the capacity to be a fantastic pick up truck. I really wanted to love it. It’s just not ready.

I’ve owned this truck for last 22 months

The best truck I’ve ever owned. This is my 4th F150. I saw one person talking about updates, which are seamless if you have scheduled auto updates and make sure 12 battery is in good condition and charged. Real solid car. Loving every bit of it. Will never go ICE. Best to charge over night @level 2. Occasionally, I use 80 amp pro charge station for few hrs which pumps @>19kW/Hr. I get around 2.3 miles/kWh which means i can add like 80-90 miles in 2 hours with 80 amp charger if needed. But it’s better to charge over night especially during summer days. It takes 5-10 seconds to plug it in compared to 5-10 mins to pump gas while you also inhale some of it. Off note, I test drove different EVs during this year. Teslas are good EVs but I’m biased towards pickup trucks. Tesla’s are perky but my truck glides at max speed without giving feel of loosing any control, probably because of its weight/long wheelbase and possibly because of my bias towards trucks ) I’m not super into technology but i like fords hand free on the highways. No FSD or any such claim. Haven’t smelled gas fumes or smoke since the purchase of this EV. Ford nailed it by adding tech with simplicity and traditional feel. Update: still loving it after 22 months, I’ve passed bumper to bumper warranty. I never worried about it as had good experience with ford cars. We also have expedition. And this car has power train and battery pack warranty up to 100k. I haven’t observed any change in charging behavior or available miles that I am getting with 80-90% charge. I consider myself heavy footed but never checked SOH of the battery. I have seen all positive and negative videos about f150 lighting. I always seem to disagree with people talking negatively about it. I also realized that those talking negatively about it, mostly, have never even owned it. They are just talking about it based on their impression of it. I dive it everyday. Also used it after hurricane to power appliances and it worked amazing. Only used 20% in 18 hours of power outage. The biggest item was 1 kw window ac.

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).
