I knew this day was coming, but I thought it would be sometime late next year.

I’ve had my F150 lightning for six months and put 14,000 miles on it. I’m a long term Ford F150 owner.

But I’m not gonna lie, my truck has an MSRP of $80,000 and I’m looking at a Silverado LT premium with the same MSRP that does 390 miles of range versus my trucks 320. And it tows 2500 pounds more.

Now Ford put some money on the hood when I bought my truck, and that makes it an easier pill to swallow. But I’m sure that money will be on the hood of the Silverado soon enough. They’re already discounting the RST.

Ford has got to step up to the plate in a major way. And it’s going to have to come from software updates.

Ford already has the advantage in that regard because they still support CarPlay and GM does not.

But Ford, come on, you need to be putting everybody you have on getting the latest blue Cruise updates to your existing lightning owners and early adopters. Or you’re not gonna be able to keep us.
Just curious, did you realize the Silverado EV is a unibody platform? Not a real truck!

I wonder if the infotainment system works better. Like staying connected to the phone, that sort of basic stuff. FORD.

The Silverado doesn't offer Apple Carplay or Android Auto - just a basic bluetooth connection for audio streaming.

is this confirmed? My friend has a newer SIlverado that uses the Google OS and has AA projection.
