[QUOTE="Tezz500, post: 16799681, member: 78589"] Upon further review…. [MEDIA=youtube]-e55Vued028[/MEDIA] I’ve been crunching the numbers recently as my order is supposed to be here end of the summer, beginning of fall…. The conclusion? 1. It doesn’t make any sense to buy this truck if you want a truck to do truck things… 2. It doesn’t make any sense to buy this truck if you’re thinking it’ll save the environment. It won’t. In fact, it’s worse on so many levels. 3. Battery replacement costs are ASTRONOMICAL. You’re not going to get anywhere near the same type of longevity as you would from an ICE engine. 4. You’ll NEVER recoup the money from buying a $75,000 EV truck at the fuel pump. NEVER. 5. As a Lightning enthusiast who owned a Lightning for some 16 years, I can truly say it’s an all around disappointment to the Name. Instead, I’ve decided to keep my paid off 2017 Focus 1L 3cyl Ecoboost for commuting and I bought a 2022 F150 5.0 4x4 for 50k. (Thanks Nick.) The focus gets over 40mpg and the truck has a 36gal fuel tank and all the capabilities of a 4x4 off-road vehicle.
