?‍? F-150 Lightning Build & Price Configurator Now Live! Post Your Build

[balucipher]

It will be interesting to see what tires are used on the lightning, since EV's tend to run different tires with sound deadening material (foam or some other insert) in them.

I was going off pictures of the pre-production trucks

hmmmm. If that is the case, the General's are actually rated better in the snow.

Yeah I believe a lot of highway tires outperform all terrains in snow

Thankfully, not a concern I have to deal with

The 18s appear to have Michelin Primacy XLTs which are really good tires in their current iteration

I'll be talking about the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Build and Price in my weekly livestream Tonight. Thought this community would want to know. 7pm tonight!

Yes, and for Extended battery, you just need to step up a trim for $13k, add $9.5k premium package and then pay additional $10k. So for the people dreaming of PRO+ER battery, its only $35k on top for the truck "starting under" $40k! Enjoy your 300 miles of range. They should technically not say $40k truck and 300 miles range ever together!

Agreed! I can't believe Ford went around claiming "under $40k and 300 miles of range" insane.....

How do you get into the pro I don't see a keypad. Can you add a keypad as an option?

You take the key fob out of your pocket, press the open button.

Obviously Ford wants a higher take rate on SR batteries as they take 30% fewer pouches and has priced accordingly. For ever 3 ER trucks they can make 4 SR trucks so the 3 ER trucks buyers are footing the bill for that SR rig that does not get built. Makes financial sense to me. Either way Ford wins.

Wow, XLT pricing is... uh... interesting...

Pricing for the builds I'm considering is within expectations. I'm stuck between a Pro with Tow Tech/Bedliner/9.6 Pro Power for 45,282 and add the things I want aftermarket and a 511A Lariat w/bedliner for 79,764 and have everything I want and more.

35k between the two... I was leaning toward the Lariat earlier, but now that it's getting real I'm leaning toward pro. I'm probably too cheap...

Realistically I should probably just buy a gasser. I don't drive that much nowadays (recently converted to full time WFH)

I have the power boards on my '21 Lariat. Your not missing anything. If you really want them, I'm sure AMP will have them available.

I don't want them. I prefer the standard running boards. I was just replying for the previous poster.

So choosing Rapid Red for the fancy Lariat means it will be over 80k limit by 500 bucks? Black interior (which I hate), and pricing a bit higher than expected... grr.

I don't drive a whole lot lately either (just weekend road trips and in town errands) and we just bought the house from money pit... dropping 80k seems unwise. I'm getting older and expecting to be pampered more, but the wife's Porsche is allergic to rain (bad trait for a car in the PNW) and we've been driving the old beater Subaru the last few months and I personally have "forgotten" how it is to be pampered by a car.

I don't think that Chevy will compete with the Pro. Their base model will target XLT and up. We'll hopefully know more tomorrow.

I tend to agree. Indications are that the EV Silverado is based on the same platform as the Hummer EV. That ain't gonna be cheap. Tomorrows presentation will be interesting.

Hopefully their marketing team doesn't use the words "starting under $40K" and "range of 300 miles" in the same sentence.

Now your talking sense and we can not have that. Realistically I could just get rid of my Explorer and drive our 62 C10. Explorer is only on its third tank of fuel since we got our MachE 11 months ago and it only gets 18mpg..

Before today I was not to worried about getting my Lightning as I am 138 at my dealership. Now maybe it will happen. I should probably just get a Maverick XL and save 20gs.

That rumor was always bogus. The spec sheet always listed it push button start as standard on all trims.

This may be a dumb question but what would a "push start" button do on an electric car? If they change from a manual key to a remote key, do you need a button if there is no engine to start? And I assume there is still some shifter to take if from a parked state to a ready to drive state (putting it in gear).

You have a point, but the start button is still being used to start it, or turn it on in this case, just like an ICE vehicle. Could be like Tesla where you just get in, put it in gear, and go, but most are not like that (yet).

They will say "available" with an asterisk and put fine print to weasle.
