Driving our Lightning or Mach E down the road and hearing only wind and road noise, we have never one thought "You know what I miss? The engine noise, vibration and resonance of an ICE engine, And the lovely smell starting the vehicles up in the garage too!"
I plan on it. But they shouldn't abandon a popular full size EV Light Truck and then only offer either a lower cost small EV truck or a full size truck with a gas engine and associated ICE crap that will help charge a smaller battery. Farley is way off the mark.
I get this. We have a 24 Lightning and a 25 Mach E. We plan on keeping them for quite a few years, but unless Farley gets the boot and Ford gets back into EV's, we won't be buying another Ford.
Similar thread going on over at the Mach E Forum. Some good discussion from most posters, and a couple that try to make people feel like they're stupid to ever consider an extended warranty.

Nope. These are the Ford extended warranty. Just sold from a dealer (Granger Ford) instead of buying the warranty directly from Ford. The warranty starts from the date the vehicle was originally sold and zero miles.
When I started this thread over a year ago I had no idea it would be so active and stay active. But as you know there's a good reason for that. We ended up buying a new 2024 Lightning Lariat last October 1st. We quickly learned to love it so much that we ordered a 2025 Mach E GT to replace my...
I think Ford has been dropping some smaller features like the Garage Door Control off the last couple years to keep costs down and meet the under $80K price required for the $7500 Federal Tax Credit. Of course now that the current administration is doing away with that, we may see these features...
I know when I was shopping for my 24 last year there wasn't a single Lariat or Platinum anywhere that didn't have a sunroof, so I figured that just the way Ford did it for 24.
I didn't realize you could order a 25 Lariat w/o sunroof. Learn something new every day! There is a part number for that somewhere, because you could get a 22-23 Lariat without the sunroof. Might take a little research.
