Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

[Maxx]

We have our original solar system plus a second one where we added 5 panels, so unfortunately our service box has been downgraded twice and is maxed out. I've heard the cost to upgrade our service box would be expensive, so I think the 30 amp 220 is the best we can manage without spending a ton.

I have setup my charger at home at 30 amp and at my vacation property at 24 amp. I never felt like I needed higher speed. You will be fine with the amount of drive you do.

I have a Maverick on order, but started having reservations about the size and utilitarian interior a couple weeks ago, so I started looking at the Ford Lightnings. I read about the tech and features and was pretty excited. But there are so many negative reviews online. There's maybe 1 positive review for every 9 that say "I hated my Lightning and sold it and a huge loss" reviews. Even here it seems like the majority are unhappy with their purchase. Am I making a huge mistake even looking at the Lightning?

The “huge loss” is easily fixed by making sure you get a good deal. I think being able to use a lot of Tesla Superchargers fixed many of the charging/range issues. Value for money, it’s the best EV truck with useful features other don’t have. Can you charge at home? Do you drive under 300 miles a day normally (you can still road trip a Lightning easily, but if you were always supercharging the time/money advantage might not be as great)? If yes then you should consider a Lightning.

We have 3 in a small service fleet. All of the guys LOVE them!

I have what I believe is a good quote on a Lariat with no Max Tow/Pro Power 9.6 option package. Brand new through the Retail Replenishment Program which any dealer can order the with the exact configuration. 3 other dealer won't match it, so I think the offer is pretty solid.
