Your ask seems dependent on if we would run this truck to 150-200k in 4 to 5 years if that was our use case. And concern about value.
For me if that was the case, I'd buy a regular V8 F150 and run it with those miles with little concern. I traded my 2014 RAM 1500 crew cab 4x4 Long bed with 137k miles last year and got $20k.
Now would I buy a Lightning for my use case, not sure. The fact is my daughter is in Hattiesburg at school and heading there is a total headache with having to Tesla SC to 90% in Tuscaloosa and then leave the truck at a hospital to charge to 100% before we head home.
This is hours of time wasted and there is just no real fast charging options between Tuscaloosa and Hattiesburg. If I could get 1 more SC close to or in Hattiesburg it would be so much better. I do like this truck and my company just mandated 100% return to office, so I'll be putting miles on the truck, I'm at 18k as of today.
