For those saying to hold and the future depreciation is exaggerated, just wait another 1-3 years when these extremely cheap leases are up and the trucks flood the used market. We will be trading in our lightning soon due to changes in family size and needs. While the slap in the face of trade...

Curious how this will affect current values as well as I’m looking to trade in my ‘22 due to a change in family needs. Lots of unknowns with how used markets will react. I had enough of a heart attack seeing the first couple trade values I received, so hoping this will boost trade values a touch.

$55k msrp….. Most likely you didn’t pay msrp and got a tax incentive. A second hand buyer won’t get those discounts so there is almost $7500 to $10k off the value right there. Add in it now being a used vehicle and the amount the dealer needs for profit, their numbers sound reasonable to me...

I came from a 2019 raptor to the lightning with a short stint of a powerboost between them. I truly do miss my raptor and have considered going back to 3rd gen raptor. The resale on the lightning is so bad however that it has stopped me from seriously looking. - The ride on the raptor was...

I’ll say that perhaps I was lucky in the battery module replacement game. From a tow truck drop off with no appointment to ready at the dealership was about 5 working days.

Warranty info that was under “service” is now gone. Not critical but was nice to have.

I guess I take a different perspective on this. I myself am active military and will hit 20 years of service this summer. With the exception of drafted Vietnam vets, every veteran who is getting these discounts volunteered to serve. I volunteered to join the military knowing I could be killed...

With that many miles, what has been your experience with one pedal braking and brake life? I am guessing you aren’t using it for these long drives as it can get quite aggressive when you just take your foot off the throttle pedal for hill descents in my experience. Also what have you found to...

As a NC resident as well, Duke has their EV Charger Prep credit. They will send you a check for up to $1100 after your charger install. My lariat ER came with the charge station pro. I paid $1800 to have it installed and permitted. You then submit to Duke through their page setup for the credit...

By not going lariat you also don’t get ventilated seats if that’s important to you.

Decent chance it would change the suspension geometry causing increased tire wear.

To all those who thought that their wait for replacement battery cells was a long time……

Any idea what that curved plate is hanging down from the bottom? Broken skid plate or put there for some reason??

In regards to your statement of interest rate on a new loan going from 5 to 8%. I see you’re a usaa member which I’m guessing means you’re in the military. If so, try navy federal. I went with them for my lightning loan as they were by far the lowest. They are at 4.99% for 37-60 months right...

For the crossroads ford in apex, I wouldn’t hesitate to have my truck worked on there again. My crossroads in southern pines said they wouldn’t work on my truck for a module replacement as I didn’t buy it there. I had my truck towed up to apex and dropped off. Service advisor, Don, was great and...

The safer route may be to find a vinyl that matches that color and try it. A shop that does vehicle wraps may be your best option. If you ever get sick of it, peels off with your original paint under it. I imagine an area that small would not be too expensive.

No idea on Evin as I’d be using Jon for all things ICE there before the lightning. If you go to Apex though they appear to be on top of their game. I spoke with the SA Don yesterday who was assigned to my truck. They had already gotten the parts in and were working on it yesterday and showing...

May of 2022, 6030 miles.

Of all things I’m just interested in the shocks off that truck for ride quality.

I also drove quite a far ways away, almost 500 miles into northern Ohio from central NC. I bought a mannequin for $12k off msrp while the dealerships around me still were at msrp or up to $5k adm. I am just speculating that my local dealership is short staff on techs and they are looking at...
