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 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.

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.

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.

Love my new Lightning. The warranty I got covers everything and I love the ride, the feel, the quiet.
