Article reads like it was created by chatgpt.

For anyone too busy to read . They mention Hoovies Garage by the third paragraph and here is a gem “ Some owners have seen the range cut in half or worse for the truck. ”. ( citation needed ) .

Let me start with this… I am scarred by poor reliability experiences with several “Detroit 3” vehicles and this is my first domestic in 20 years because of said experiences.

Reliability is my biggest concern and 2 service trips in less than 3 months of ownership (with one of them with no estimate for remedy) has only increased my concern.

Hope they buy mine back soon.

Well my 2011 F150 Ecoboost was the best vehicle I’ve owned to date from a reliability standpoint (and I’ve owned a lot). Made it to 180k miles before needing a major service (broken exhaust manifold bolt). I’m still hopeful that when I get my truck back the reliability will be better.

At 20k miles with no issues other minor app software stuff that doesn’t affect drive ability. Will probably be at 40k by the end of the year

Which tires do you have and how are they holding up? How often do you rotate them?

Stock, they have been performing well. Rotate them every 10k

Thank you. I have the All Seasons. Do you think we can get 40K miles out of them if I drive like a normal person rather than an individual who "tracks" their vehicles? In other words, no jackrabbit starts or burn-outs!

I think we can, one thing about the Lightning is that the throttle isn’t sensitive and you can moderate your takeoffs at your liking.

Useless.

I can say that I am totally happy with my SR Pro so far. So far so good, no issues. I did not have unrealistic expectations about the range and knew that cold weather and towing would reduce the range. SR is plenty for me for what I use the truck for.

I know some members had issues with their truck and hope they get the issues sorted.

This is not knocking anyone with a standard range batt but I cringed when I read SR, towing, cold weather and range all in the same sentence. I'm dreading going out of town pulling my (soon to be owning) 6,000 lb camper with my ER battery because I'm ready to make frequent charge stops. I don't want to imagine doing it with an SR battery.

16k miles and no problems here. Loving it. Except maybe the occasional squeak from the driver's door panel....
