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

[StevenC56]

I should have added something similar in my original answer. If I had to do it over, I would skip the Mach-e and go straight to the Lightning. I loved the MME, but I like the Lightning even more...and the Lightning can tow!

We plan on replacing my wife's 2017 Explorer Platinum with an MME in the next couple years.

I bought a ‘23 ER in July ‘23 and got a zero percent purchase rate 5 days before Ford dropped the price $8500. My dealer worked for 2 months to get me a price adjust so it ended up being just under the $80K MSRP for the $7500 tax credit. I tell people it is the best commuter with blue cruise and the comfy interior. I drive 57 miles round trip a day and it makes the commute so much less stressful and costly. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I cannot think of what I would do differently.

I do wish there were different package options. I don't like the glass roof, but it was packaged with all the other things I did want.

If there's a smaller EV pickup available when it's time to retire the Lightning to home-backup duty, we'll go with that. If not, we'll go with another Lightning, probably.

Oh, I just realized what I'd do differently.

If I could get the same price, I'd buy the truck two months earlier.
We bought in May 2024.
We took our Tacoma on a 2200 mile round trip camping trip from northern Arizona to the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas in April for the total eclipse. If I had it to do over again and I could find the same truck for the same price, I'd buy in March instead of May so we could have had a better road trip in April.
