Update:
Deal was actually completed today.

While I was at another Ford dealership getting prices on my old truck the Sales manager from the first called me. We agreed on a price to buy my 2023 and then I drove to that store and signed the paperwork to lock in the deal. After signing I took my old truck back home tonight so I could remove tonneau cover, the console safe and some other things from the truck. I go back tomorrow to swap out the trucks.

This deal makes it the 70th new vehicle I've purchased since 1973. 22 in just in the last 10 years. 13 of those 22 have been Ford trucks, 150's 350's and 450's
So, what did they pay you for your truck?

That sounds like me in 30 more years. I too have had 250/350/450 /raptors ect. My wife has had her fair share as well

What made you stick with an other lightning ?…..I just did the same
Love the Ride.
Love not having to go to gas stations.

We do a 125 mile one way trip to our remote cabin several times a month. We travel with 3 Mini Golden Doodles and a caged Parrot in the back seat. Plus we have a powered cooler in the Fronk set to -2dF as a cooler and another in the truck bed under the tonneau cover set to 24 dF as a refrigerator when going between the house and the cabin. The Lightning has supplied emergency backup power to the cabin when electricity goes out.

The cut a check to us for yesterday's KBB trade in Price. They started $4,000 below yesterday's Trade in price. Both Carvana and CarMax were also $3k-$k below yesterday's trade in price. Today, 3/1/25, I just checked KBB and with the new month starting today the KBB value dropped $1,000 overnight. I think that EV politics are hurting used values badly.
