I use my Ford Pro on my 23 ER and my 24 Lyric AWD , no issues with either as the EV runs the charging cycle. The Ford supplied DC Tesla adapter works fine on both as well.
No problems.
I believe the stock Lightning , with its IRS and balanced handling is pretty damn good. It is comfortable empty and capable towing my 6500 # boat. Good for me. Wish range were better, but what can you expect ?
Been without fuel with my ICE and EV vehicles, EVs don't jump start well, so planning is your job. It is your fault if you are wrong.
I have two EVs so maybe I am self serving. Ultimately, no one can give you a best solution.

Have a 23 Lightning XLT ER and a 24 Cadillac Lyriq . Got 23 tax credit on the Lyriq and 24 credit up front on Lightning. All is good with level 2 @ home. Out of range requires planning or else dreaded roll back time, which sucks !
Are you able to install a 220 V AC 14-50 Hubbell outlet to charge from? If so you can plug in the supplied adapter and go level 2 for overnight charges. When you get the charge station pro, which will appear magically you can pigtail in to that.
The 50 amp 220v is the key to happiness .
