Hi

I just purchased a 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash - Agate Black Metallic. I traded in a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier Black Redline. This will be my 4th EV/PHEV (I owned two Volts before the Bolt. This is my first truck.

The main reason I purchased this truck is so that I can tow my Tracker Pro Guide V-175 COMBO fishing boat. I also love the idea of being able to power my house from the Pro Power Onboard (My truck has the 9.6KWh unit). I already have a transfer switch installed in my circuit breaker box in my home.

I gotta say, the incentives that Ford is currently offering on the Flash trim were too good to pass up. 0% financing was the tipping point.

I look forward to learning about this truck!

Congrats on your new Lightning! We'd love to see a pic.

Been a member for over a year now. Started on the MachE forum as we had a first run 2021 MachE GT (may she rest in peace...totaled from a rear-end this summer...wife was uninjured). Love my lighting...best truck and vehicle I have owned. Been great in Colorado for all the things I want to do, (except maybe parking in tight spaces). Great experience towing so far (nothing much over 100 miles though).

Thanks to all on this forum who post with awesome information and keep the community friendly, kind and helpful.

We're thrilled to hear that you've been enjoying your Lightning. Thank you for being part of the Ford Family.

Convinced the wife, traded in every other car I didn't care for, and now I'm an owner of a '24 Flash! Carbonized Grey Metallic is just stunning.

Getting lost in all of the accessories available for this thing...

That's awesome, Anderson! Welcome to the Ford Family!

This is the second winter with all EV in our garage.
I do miss the additional heat you get in the garage after parking a hot ICE car during the cold weather.. Always helped keep the garage a bit warmer.

Of course, in the summer time I don't miss that darn ICE car at all.

Here's to another all-EV winter! Stay safe out there!

My truck went through a growth spurt! Traded in my 23' Maverick for a 24 Lightning XLT. It was a 70% research, 30% impulse purchase, so a little more patience could have gotten me a Flash for nearly the same price at a better dealership (I will forever mourn the lack of extended range battery) but I still smile every time I walk out to get in my truck.

Congrats, Taylor! Welcome to the Ford Family! That is a beautiful F-150 Lighting!
