Looks like they are limiting the ER batteries to the higher trim XLTs and Lariats. Was leaning Lariat + anyways, so good news for me I guess.

The lightning pro is a bargain, especially after any tax incentives.
Between state and federal I can get 10k off a Pro, or the standard 7500 off any other trim level. It's a hard argument to not get the pro.

Sucks that the trim they are making by far the most of is the extended lariat+ which is around $77k. Bummer for anyone wanting a Pro.

Anyone notice, that the Pro shows you can add the ext battery to it here? I've long figured it's not an option.
You figured correctly ...
Unless you have a fleet order.

The big new thread says you can't unless you are a fleet buyer.

Tomorrow is the exciting day for me! Finally get to see pricing, options etc. Those of us who will not be in Wave #1, #2 or whatever can at least build out two or three options to see if it’s worth the wait or not. Good Luck everyone!

Constrained by battery supply I guess. Luckily SR is good enough for me.
This seems to be incorrect. According to the document over 70% of the trucks ford makes will be platinum or lariat EXT range batteries. Less than 10% will be a pro.

Finally some details on the home backup system as well… looks like besides the charge station pro, customers also need to get home integration system which includes inverter and purchase back-up power activation. Need to see how much these extras will cost.

As far as I know. I don't recall anyone (except Ford representatives) ever driving this pick up. If that is true, does anyone else have a problem not hearing from a third party about how it drives? All the reviews I seen, always had a Ford Rep driving while a reviewer was in the passenger seat trying to give his impressions.

This is 100% normal for pre-production vehicles. There are exceptions, of course, but in short no - It's not concerning at all that nobody except for Ford/Biden has driven one.

Well lots of people have driven a F150. This truck is not much different except for the powertrain and independent rear suspension.
Plus you can always drive a machE as well. It isn't exact but gets a feel for Ford EV

I'm going go guess in $5-10k price range depending on the labor costs in each location.
