I love my F150 Lightning electric truck!
Alaska contractor, 04/11/2024
2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)
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).
