Woof...not as ugly as the Cybertruck but not too far behind.
Yes a bit weird looking but very interesting, better looking than a CT. I have a love/hate relationship with the SIZE of my Lightning. Love the interior room but it feels so big on the road (and to park).

I am with you on that. I like the fact that unlike when I drive my wife’s Subaru, no one cuts me off on the road and people get out of my way. But I do pay for it in parking lot.

I think it is safe to say ours would win the beauty pagent of Electric Pickups
Beauty is in eyes of the owner.

I might spend a little extra time to find a red one...but I wouldn't be patient enough.

The red ones are sweet (there was one on the lot at my dealer), I was tempted but as an early adopter (and preorder) they were trying to bend me over so I skimped. Today thats all changed and I woulda gotten red for less than what I paid

I wouldn't change a thing. Love the Lariat options, got it at MSRP, and glad I saved $10k by not getting the extended range as I rarely go on long trips. LOVE THIS TRUCK!
DITTO!!

The thread contains fair an thoughtful opinions about BEV trucks, that's why it's been visible but locked up until today.

Please PLEASE PLEASE

Do not derail this thread with derogatory comments about CEO's of ANY company.

Love this truck. Best F150 I’ve ever owned. I 100% would purchase again.

I wouldn't change a thing overall. Maybe I would have looked harder at the tow package and got the dealer to install the brake controller, but I don't plan on towing much anyways, payload was more important to me. Lucked out with my truck that the exact trim and options that I was drooling over online happened to be on the lot.

Absolutely love this truck. Every mass market product has its issues, but, knock on wood, I have been fortunate with my cars to not have anything serious happen.

Absolutely love mine but in Abilene TX, they just don’t sell. Dealership no longer carries them after selling only about 3. Same in Lubbock. Hard to figure why.
