What did you drive before your Lightning?

I put 50K on a Mach E in two years.

Sold a 2003 F150 HD edition to get the lightning.

Probably unusual, but I traded a Tesla Model S for a F150 Lightning Lariat ER. Some reduction in efficiency obviously, but really liking the truck so far. Also, there's a reduction in availability of DC charging, but hopefully that will improve soon.

2017 raptor 100,000 miles it was my daily. Loved it but I love the lightning more. Kept the raptor and the lightning. Raptor for long road trips with the family and lightning is my daily for work, Electrical contractor.

2018 F-150 XLT, great truck but absolutely loving my '23 Lightning ER.

I had the same year and model. Sadly my transmission was on its last legs when I decided to trade it in for the Lightning. Interesting thing is my wife has a 2018 Ford Expedition EL MAX and we just had the transmission replaced 2 months, thankfully covered by the extended warranty. Coincidence ?

Drove a 2002 BMW 325i for 17 years before getting this truck. Pretty big upgrade

2021 F150 Platinum Star White. Had if for about 15 months. 2018 F150 Lariat prior to that.

You aren't kidding. About to dump my wife's Expedition too. I don't know what it was about the '18's because we've been buying Fords for years and never had these types of issues.

I traded in my 2015 C-Max Energi plugin-hybrid with a little over 206k miles for a ’22 Lightning Lariat ER. While I liked the C-Max, I love my Lightning and do “truck” things nearly every weekend. It’s so nice having a truck bed again, especially living in rural South Georgia on 8 acres.

It did take the better part of a year to adjust to the different turning radius though, especially with parking! ?

Also nice to have a frunk compared with almost no trunk on C-Max PHEV.

Had a mustang mach e premium had it for 8 months sold it to the dealer waited for the lightning before that a ram 1500 missed my truck so much upgraded to the lightning

My trade in was a 2011 Mercedes Benz R350. No regrets!

a 2014 and a 2017 Ford Focus Electric. Love the sporty drive and didn't want to sell them so I gave them to my parents so they are still in the family with no issues. Ford made a great EV in the FFE and I was very upset when the previous CEO eliminated the EV market in favor of hybrids, discontinuing the FFE. I was happy when Farley took over and took the company in the right direction and put out the EV truck. I would of preferred the smaller, cheaper Ranger but I am adjusting to the larger F150. I get a lot of questions about it and use to recommend the Ford EVs but after the latest F150 Lightning price shenanigans, I am so upset with @Ford Motor Company that this will be my last Ford unless they do something like a price rebate to restore my faith in the company. I have sent a lot of business to KIA and other EV makers that seem to prioritize customer satisfaction and may even trade in the truck to be done with Ford.

We traded a 2019 F-150 Sport 4x4
2.7 L Ecoboost with 37k miles. It was the wife’s daily driver and our motor home toad. Hated to get rid of it but wanted to do something different. I retired in February ‘22, ordered the Lightning June ‘22 and took delivery in November.
I gave my daily driver, 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, with 234k miles to my 16 year old grandson.
Traded the motor home for a 26’ travel trailer and tow it with our 2022 Star White Lariat ER.
We love our Lightning and feel lucky to have it. No more ICE vehicles for us ?
