Should I buy Fleet 2024 Pro ER or 2024 Flash?

[strahanjen]

Hi All,

I could use your input to help deciding between these 3 options. I have to say I'm attracted to the Pro because I prefer knobs over a touch screen for heating/cooling, etc. I will tow building materials over one season but then would probably not have much of a need for towing over the long term. The main features I need are the ER battery and Pro power. Not sure if I'd benefit from having a dual on board charger, but is that nicer to have than the options in number 2 below? Are the prices listed good or should I try to negotiate more? The prices include taxes and fees and take into consideration any rebates, discounts and the EV tax credit.

1. Fleet 2024 Pro ER for $58k out the door

• Dual on board charger
• pro power onboard 9.6 kw
• Max trailer tow package

2. Fleet 2024 Pro ER for $59k out the door

• Single charger
• Tow Technology package
• Pro power onboard 9.6 kw
• Max Trailer tow package
• mobile power cord
• backup alarm system

3. 2024 Flash for about the same price, still waiting on final numbers.

Looks like you're getting more truck for the money with option 1. The flash is only a single charger and Pro-Power is an option.

I'd go for option 1 IMHO.

Thanks for the input. Think there’s a chance I could talk them down even more? Or does the $58k out the door price seem good?

If you have room in your panel for it, the dual charger is very nice.

Do you value niceties? The Flash has carpet and cloth seats if I'm not mistaken, which means it will be quieter and more comfortable.

I get that a lot of people like buttons and knobs. I find them to be overrated considering the Lightning has automatically climate control. Cold? Turn the temperature up. Warm? Turn the temperature down; same as my house. The 15" screen with a full map increases situational awareness significantly. It's worth it, in my opinion.

The flash is a significant upgrade. Power seats. Automatic cruise. Much higher resale value

I would definitely go Flash if it's the same price (if it has 9.6kW Pro Power). The driver's seat comfort, alone, going from the Pro to the XLT has been worth it.

Only thing you're giving up is dual on board chargers, most people don't charge at 80a and 48a at home charging is more than adequate for 95% of owners.

I think the idea of Fleet ER Pro's for consumers is neat and an awesome idea, they just don't price them competively compared to what you can get in a Flash at a similar price.

What's the typical drive day be like, how many miles?

I responded earlier, but I'm changing my opinion.

If you can get a Flash for the same price as an ER Pro, you have to go with the Flash. As much as I dislike the 15" screen, the standard equipment on the Flash is over the top a better value, even taking into consideration the dual chargers on the Pro.

Typical day drive is 20-30 miles., We also drive 215 miles 2-3 times per month, sometimes in sub zero temps.
