IF you could do it all over... what would you buy?

All else being equal, I'd buy the same truck for sure. Nothing else in its price range with close to the same value.

But what if I'd married someone who would have let me buy a Flash instead of an XLT? Hmmm...

All things being equal I would probably have done it again.

Hindsight is 20/20 and the insane deals that's been availible and the fact that my depreciation alone is 2-3 times higher than peoples lease payments makes a lease (to me anyway) a no brainer at this point unless you plan on keeping the truck "forever".

For me the choice was between a Rivian and Lightning and I (personally) think the headlights on Rivian is butt-ugly and their higher reservation fee at the time kind of sealed the deal.
The scout is interesting, but who knows if they have the same reliability as Electrify America (another VW product) plus I'm not a fan of the interior - it looks great in a broschure, but I'm pretty sure it'll age just as well as milk. Cybertruck is a non starter for many reasons.

So yeah, I probably would get a Lightning again.
