I’m almost positive the PRO will be the volume seller, the price jump to the other trims is crazy.
the prices goes up exponentially.
agree 💯
@@SkaBob there’s only one issue with EVs…. *RANGE*
@@bigchungus1848 range and basically no used market for cheap entry.
That said I'd love to have one!
@@SkaBob could you please tell me where I can fill my tank for 80 dollars please ??
$30-40k more gets you a horizontal light, power tailgate, an oversized screen, and ~100 more miles of range. Seems like the Pro is the trim level to go for
Plus an extra 2200lbs of towing capacity.
also will buy you a 2nd gas vehicle
and the ability to hook up to your house as a whole home generator
@@B86432 *petrol
The Platinum gasoline version msrp is $62,000 and has well over a 500 mile range...
Extended range pro is only available for fleet customers. I was lucky enough to snag a wave 1 order of the pro with tech tow, pro power and spray in bed liner for 45k with no ADM through my dealer. After the $7500 tax incentive, this truck is ridiculously cheap for the value.
Ford is going to lose the tax incentive very soon because they have almost produced 200k electric vehicles.
This is true, I have the exact same configuration as you, do you have a production date?
This build would be the most popular setup by far if ford made enough of them, of course they want to sell more Lariats because they are more expensive and make more money on them so they tell all the reviewers that they expect lariat to sell the most, that's because they will make more them of them over the Pro.
@@bostondan77 Exactly. I’d buy the Pro, but will pass on an $80k EV truck with zero resale value.
Yeah no way i want an 80k any vehicle. But my 2.7l 150 was about 50k all said and done. Would happily pay that for the ev. Mine is a base stx with tow pack. Diff lock. Onboard power etc. Dont need the frills just the right options
The "Base" truck is still very nicely equipped! I'm impressed! If you really wanted an nice electric truck.. that's not a bad deal for the basic Lightning version.
I like that even the top of the line matches close to what the rivian costs which is a smaller truck instead of exceeding the $100k. I think this will be a great option
I drove in the pro and was extremely impressed with finishes inside.
The "base" truck is still $54,000.
@@tewest86 The base truck is $39,974, in the USA.
@@Ichibuns The “base” truck as shown in this video is $54,000.
Honestly with the pro being 4wd and pretty offroad capable, I think the price is pretty justified. The higher trims are kinda ridiculous though when you’re not getting much more capability aside from battery range.
The cost of the battery is where a lot of that price jump happens. The Pro battery casing would cost around 20k alone and the extended range battery is effectively double that cost.
Probably a business thing. Have a base config you advertise as a "cheap" $39k truck and snag all the attention. All of the coverage thus far has been of the Lariat models provided by Ford so it raises expectations. The batteries are also in short supply so each Pro sale is a missed opportunity to put it into a more profitable trim. As a result the price is hiked up more. Essentially Pro is a great deal subsidized by the luxe trims.
They're all all AWD
The battery range is a huge thing though. In work, time is money and the less time charging the more time earning. Aside from that, trucks are just as much "family" vehicles are they are work vehicles now. So those extra comfort features will appeal to a segment that will never ever tow anything
@@courtenayblair2279 in operations, you would choose the time saving option absolutely. Often with a larger battery, you get more range, but because of the extra weight it also takes longer to charge to get that potential extra 100 mi of range. If your company has routes that don't exceed 120 miles one way between charging stops, then the shorter range battery will suffice and take less time to charge.
Wow I honestly think I like the simplicity of the pro model better. And I prefer the smaller screen as the larger one looks almost out of place to me.
Yeah I personally would like to have the leather, stitching, seats and sound system from the more expensive ones in the pro, but it looks much better without the overstyled LED crap, plastic design garbage and massive Tablet glued to the center console, as if it was an afterthought.
The screen on the pro is like a big iPad. 10 or 12 inches. It’s quite nice.
agreed
I’d take the pro just for the manual tailgate. Opens and closes faster then the electric tailgate.
@@jaredhodges9375 Electric tailgates can be closed manually...
I Actually prefer the "smaller" touchscreen on the cheaper version
Yes and with real radio and heater controls. The big tablet in the center of the dash is not a good way to do it.
Ive heard the giant tablet is actually done really well but I do agree. The screen integrates into the dash better and I like having button controlled AC. Id prefer the pro version.
Let’s be honest lol you love the bigger screen just not the 90grand price
The Pro is such an insane value for what you get, so happy that I was able to order one!
What will be the dealer mark up?
@@arthercasillas2755 mine is $0
Can you give us a review when you get yours?
Let's just take a second to appreciate Ford not making their EV look like a space ship and at least somewhat resembling the normal version of the truck.
Edit: I also kind of like the base model better than the Lariat, especially on the interior where it closer resembles the ICE truck.
I don’t mind the one takes. I appreciate you all getting us the info as soon as possible. Keep up the great work! I also like that it allows us to see how intuitive (or not) using the vehicles and their features are which is why I enjoy the one takes
I prefer the smaller touch screen personally(or no touch screen) so that isnt a negative for me. I would love if it had the center seat like my f150 and not just a console. I imagine they needed that space but you would imagine the contractor version would have as many seats as possible. Tailgate step would be nice to option. Wish they were out 6mo ago when i bought my ecoboost....
And I will buy a fully loaded F150 Lightning Platinum with Lariat wheels.
Tactile knobs and buttons are better than touchscreens all day every day.
@@plmn93 And Touchscreens are the best all year long.
Pro with leather seats and carpet would be perfect.
Right there with you on the screen size. Big screens are just visually pleasing. People don’t realize they don’t use them for anything
“As configured” they threw in floor mats and Market Adjusted Value of 17k for the “pro” edition
That Pro was a fleet version with the extended range battery 🔋. Adding $10k.
There is no "market adjusted value" on the MSRP/sheet shown in the video. That particular Pro had the extended battery; not the standard battery. The extended battery alone adds $10,000 on top of the Pro base price. The other $7,000 worth of options included the Equipment Group 110A (LED lights with dynamic bending, co-pilot 360, SYNC 4 with 12" screen, power front trunk with power outlets, aluminum wheels, AT tires, etc.), Tow technology package (onboard scales, 360 cameras, backup assist, trailer brake controller, etc.), Pro power onboard, max tow package (additional cooling hardware for battery and motors), and bedliner. All those, or their equivalent, add up to about $7,000 on the ICE F150, too. So in this case, getting what you pay for on the upgrades over the base Pro.
@@MrChadx1 The Pro with the extended range battery is only available for fleet orders.
@@Bigboyz-li7fo Yes, that is correct. But the original poster was talking about price, so I detailed the makeup of the shown msrp and why the price was $17,000 more than the base pro price. I suspect consumers (non-fleet orders) will also be able to spec a pro with extended battery at some point.
@@MrChadx1 That's clearly speculation at this point.
Let's be honest: Most people are probably going to use that center console work surface as a table for fast food. 😂
and?
Exactly that is why it should have a column shifter because then you could eat and drive, but I guess it still works if you eat and wait 45 minutes to charge the thing.
🐖
@@masonkaye5 I think having a motorized shifter just to get it out of the way of the table is needless complexity when a column or dash mounted knob shifter would suffice.
@@BikerJim74 Ford's marketing it as a "work" feature which I find funny.
I was just on the Ford Website. The lighting cost $51K for the basic truck, 59K for the low range and well over $80 for extended range.
I can buy a whole lot of gas at .... $1,397/mo for 6 years. I built a 3.5L eco boost XLT super cab for 50K and that was $600.00 a month.
This is TFLnow, it’s a one take. What can you expect?? People should stop complaining! Keep up the work!!!!!
Even though we should be concerned about towing and other truck stuff the truth is 80% of these trucks are going to be family hauler’s and that’s it at least at first so people are going to want the high end model but I think price will drive most to the lower trim’s then aftermarket let them bring them back up as far as the look
Thanks for the first take. I like hearing them it gives us less filtered and polished impressions which I value over the market speak on longer reviews.
I believe Ford stated that initially 1 of 5 Lightning will be Pro version and likely to fleet purchasers, so a regular Joe is not getting a base model Pro any time soon.
Exactly. The Pro model MSRP is almost at production costs whereas the upper trims are able to float future development just like every other product line. The battery is the high cost point for both either way.
Great video!! Been waiting for this one. Appreciate the comparison.
Add about $20000 to both those prices and that’s what dealers will actually be charging.
Thats one of the reasons i wait for the Cybertruck.
I think Ford wants to try and sell them
Online to avoid this. See if it actually happens though.
@@ALRyourmom Outside of the US? May be. Inside? Never.
@@ALRyourmom The CEO also announced that they're gonna withhold allocations to dealers who're doing insane markups
The dealers have gotten a letter from Ford stating that if they sell vehicles with an adder over MSRP that will affect their ability to order more of the model in the future.
The weakest link and biggest disappointment of all the F150 Lightning trucks is the abysmal range no matter if you go with the standard, or the extended battery. I don’t know why they thought 230 miles or 300 was acceptable. 300 should be the bare minimum. I would’ve liked to see the extended go to 400. For God sake, it’s a $10,000 upgrade. It should give you more than 70 miles range.
Interior work surface not available on PRO trim. Thats always been one of my big head scratchers with the lightning....
it was too much money to make the center dash top fold out in the "cheap" $40K model 🤣👌
How ironic.
Very nice quick video. These are great and to the point for 1 take
I love the content. Thank you for working to get us the information timely with the “one take” approach. Love the comparison of the two trims.
I’ll be getting the Pro for sure. 230 miles is plenty for a commuter truck.
Pro is the cheapest but most unobtainable option. Pro version had ~3% of allocations. Sold out when Ford opened the order banks to ~1500 customers.
Ohhhh! That's great information.
Guess I'm sticking with ICE
The Pro is too plain. I drive a 2021 XLT now. The Pro would be a downgrade even though its $54,000.
@@tewest86 i drive a 1996 XL with standard transmission. Power steering and boosted brakes are the only luxuries i want.
@@JD-yx7be It's all a truck really needs.
If they offer the extended range Pro for 2023 I’ll be all over it
Agreed. Best bang for the buck. Wish they offered the extended on the 2022 Pro. Would have been a great deal to get that before the tax credits ran out.
@@MrChadx1 "Best bang for the buck" would be the issue. That's just another way of saying Ford wouldn't make as much money as they could've.
@@MrChadx1 ?? He's literally sitting in a 2022 Extended Range Pro.
@@spazzman90 the Pro extended range are limited to fleet vehicles only currently.
@@spazzman90 Like others have mentioned, Ford only offered the extended range battery in the Pro for fleet sales; not consumers. Original poster and I are hoping the extended battery will be offered to consumers in the Pro for 2023. Also hoping for double cab/standard 6.5' bed at some point. Or even a standard cab and long 8' bed. Too many pickups/trims are limited to crew cabs with tiny short beds. I need bed space, not passenger space, for what I use my pickups for.
Great review. I don't mind these fast hot takes at all! I prefer you guys doing these even when they are quick as you already have a great feel for trucks and America's more rugged vehicles. Great job!
I prefer the horizontal center screen in pro model. It looks good enough to me, and still has physical buttons.
I'm assuming most people will be replacing the light bar in the front, it looks super cheap... especially for a truck in the $60-90k range.
Replace the light bar with what ?
@@jj-eo7bj just a different cover, something that doesn't look so cheap
@@jamainemclawery7277 ya, I'm sure you will be able to go down to the local Pep Boys and find something to fit.
This isn't a new concept, parts get replaced all the time. Sometimes people even use that new internet thing to help find stuff.
Thanks for this. Exactly what I needed to know.
Thank you for the comparisons between the Pro and the Lariat versions. Both are great looking trucks!!
The Pro is a really nice. I have my order placed on a Lariat ext. range. But a steering wheel swap and a grill change with the upper light would be perfect on the Pro. I wanted to order an XLT but in my wave those two models were sold out.
Cheaper version has a better interior design... the high end video gamer version is absurd as the display will always be in the way. Probably be a target for curbside thieves as well.
Way easier to hit physical buttons while driving. I'm a massive tech nerd but I hate those giant screens
@@tarfeef101 yup, but sadly since Tesla started it, everyone else is copying it.
I miss my buttons.
@@tarfeef101 Same thing people said when apple created buttonless on screen keyboards... Yet I can still text without looking at iphone.
Yeah, but I want to watch a movie while I'm driving...
Love the in-depth look at the base model!
Such a great video, really nice to be able to see both models side by side.
The cheapest model is really well-equipped as well!
Thank you for sharing 🔌⚡🚘
Trucks look awesome! I know in todays media environment the the pressure to be first is great, but would rather have more detailed content. The PRO or XLT would be my choice but what features are given up with the smaller screen? Is the on board scales available on lower trims? Sometime a rush to be first is not best especially with such a new and technical product. Look forward to more detailed videos.
This market markup is really killing my mood to buy a new vehicle.
Watching their previous test of long distance driving made up my mind of owning one of these. Their 1225 mile trip took 11 hours of charging which is 111 miles per charge. Their 3500 mile trip to Alaska to 30 hours of charging which is 116 miles per charge. If they ever get they ever get charging down to under 5 minutes then I might consider it. I'm 68 years old and O'm not spending the rest of my life sitting in a parking lot waiting for my truck to charge.
Im in love with the on board chargers i would love to buy it for camping
Great looking trucks. Really wish they had short cab / long bed options, though.
Same. I don't care for 4 door trucks. Would love to see a 2 door version available!
Probably for battery placement
I just Ordered the Lightning Pro with one option, Bed removable mat. $41945. Great value and gives me everything I want. Roman review helped my decision😁😁👍👍
Congratulations! Nice choice.
Nice video thanks
The base model took away hundreds of dollars worth of features for thousands of dollars less. They took away the most petty things. No ladder in the tailgate, no folding center console, an uglier front grill panel, etc… It probably cost more money to make 2 separate manufacturing lines than it would’ve cost to just keep one model. But they do it anyway because they know people are willing to pay thousands more for a marginally better truck.
1:50 I might be in the minority, I love the 18" wheels for so many reasons. Starting from the design style of these to obvious comfort..!
I like the screen in the XLT and Pro much better, they still have knobs for heat and radio. Touch screen heat and radio is a very bad feature.
I like the quick thrown together videos
I couldn’t fall asleep until I watched Roman’s review, it put me to sleep fast!
Thank you for this video! Have been wanting to see how much a extended battery base model would cost. Only about $56 isn’t that bad. However, I think I’ll wait till EV tech and vehicles become more mainstream before getting one so I’m not buying the first of a product (you know the saying)
I really like the fact I prefer the look of the cheaper model and the touch screen( I know the big screen is nice to use I just hate how it looks like an iPad glued on) looks like code did a better job than I was expecting.
The base pro version looks great and nice enough!! Id save money and go with that one.
I just today bought a new 2023XLT lightning standard size battery for 57,000 0% interest for 60 months and I should get the full tax credit of $7500 not bad. I’ve had it for one day and think it is totally amazing unlike anything I have driven in my life and I have had five super duty pick up trucks I’m 54 years old.
Pro version isn't bad at all! I don't need a truck, but I want it. Love the frunk.
ford was showing states a few days ago, half the orders are from people that have never owned a truck before and are only getting it because its electric so they are brining in new customers to their brand its a big W
I'm sure a lot of people don't feel this way, but there are a lot of things about the Pro model that I prefer over the costlier truck. The smaller wheels, the normal looking headlights and taillights, the headunit screen.
The Lariat definitely doesn't seem worth the price difference, but the long range battery seems like a must, regardless of trim.
A lot of black plastic up front. But guess what? You can buy the trim piece from the fancier truck and replace it.
@@jm100368 that is what I was thinking. If that is a big difference fir looks then just buy that trim piece for a couple of hundred or so. I bet not many will keep the stock rims and tires anyway either so no difference there either. I would prefer the pro with the bigger battery as the only upgrade if possible.
I checked the web page for the F150 Lightning. The extended range battery is a $20000 option! If it was, like, $5000 more, it might be worth it.
@@JL-sm6cg Yeah, It's technically a 10k option, but it requires a $9500 equipment group package. That combined with the $13k XLT upcharge make the cheapest extended range truck $74k (the extended range Pro model us only available to fleet customers).
When Ford first announced the starting price of $40k, I think most people thought we would be able to get an extended range Lightning in the low-mid $50k range. In reality, the cheapest extended range starts around $12k higher than a gas F150 Platinum.
@@zkiller195 yeah, it was more like $76K for an extended range XLT! Only $56K for the regular range.
Thumbnail says 39k for the pro and he’s says 56k as configured… big brain time
Liking the outro 👍😁
Big screen looks tacky, especially in comparison to how RAM integrated their vertical screen.
Ppl wanted a physical volume button which is why it’s like that. To be seen how it holds up in the real world. If it works good it’s obviously a W design
@@josephs8364 Go look at the ram 12" screen, it doesn't need to look like that to have a physical volume knob.
@@diablo81588 Ik lol. But they can’t copy ram
30k more for a bigger screen and a bit more range, who in TF at Ford was okay with this????
Buying the Pro is like buying a Lariat or Platinum of a gasoline F-150 when it comes to features and the looks of the interior.
I’m just gonna stick with my stx that I have ordered.. luckily I won’t need to tow that much just catering equipment so I’m happy
The mark up on the both will add at least 10 grand
That payload difference seals the deal for me. No way I'd think of paying that much more for those futures if I'm losing 500lb of payload.
This is the difference between a work truck and a luxury truck. Yes, I said Luxury truck. There's no Lariat being purchased brand spanking new to be used for a contract powerwasher company pulling a 13,500lb trailer 🤣.
Definitely getting this
I really want to see how it holds up to power tools, and how that impacts range. Maybe see how it holds up to tailgating (cooking a pizza in an air fryer or something lol) .
8:34 I think you meant 2,063 lbs of payload, not 263 lbs.
I think it's hilarious that the work surface is not available on the Pro model.
I am going to research what you have to do to be a fleet buyer, because the Pro-ER is what I want. I really prefer a column shifter because at some point that shifter motor will break and it takes up a lot of space considering the truck has a one speed transmission.
The frunk makes a regular cab long bed a great combination for me even though I know they won't ever make one since that combo was one percent of sales and the crew cab short box is 80%
Yeah, I'd really like to have a long bed. Chevy has somewhat of a solution in that the forward wall (behind the rear seats) folds down.
I found it very ironic that the "pro" work truck (the one they sell to fleets) didnt come standard with the work station/desktop console. A massive oversight imo.
Love the pro version specially at that 39 mrsp . But I got to admitt that sunroof on the lariat is amazing
I’d take either 👍🏾 another fantastic review 🏆🥇
I do believe I would be very happy with a Pro model Lightning. Best of all, it’s a Ford F-150 still that we all love and will use. I actually like the smaller sensible size screen in the center of the dash more than the Lariat’s Jumbotron screen.
To bad you can not get a regular cab with an eight foot box.
Or even an double cab with 6.5' bed. I know crewcabs and tiny beds sell the most, but many of the manufacturer's trims that I want are just not offered in doublecab and standard bed much less standard cab and long bed; only crew cab and supershort bed.
I would go with the pro model with the 9.6kw power onboard, good value for money at the price point, with no markups.
Yup. Pro with standard battery, 9.6kW is $41k before incentive. All the truck I need.
Good video
I would definitely go for the Pro myself, the price difference is huge.
I really think we should have an upcharge option, call it a lighting package, to get the front and rear rail lights. I don’t need or want anymore than the pro but not having that look is almost a deal breaker.
Like all ford there will be tonnes of aftermarket kits for whatever
Did the pro come with the ability to send power to the house? I would go with the Pro. So what if the display is smaller, it’s a lot bigger than the one in my 16’ tundra. I like the vinyl seats too. Much easier to clean up
The Pro is available with the optional 9.6kWh pro-power assist system, which is what is advertised for the home charging system.
Side note: the F150 Hybrid has a 7.2kWh system, which is actually the same as the Lightnings. The extra 2.4kWh output is from the frunk outlets, which is standard on all Lightnings.
I like the pros screen a lot better
I like how *THAT* is “No giant screen” 🤣 @10:08
The smaller screen set up looks so much better than the vertical screen
Great video as always! I could definitely see myself in one of those some day.. currently my '21 F150 Tremor works for me.. about 535 mile range and nicer interior than the Pro. Even with current gas prices it would take like 20 years to recoup costs.. not to mention the actual footprint it takes to make an electric vehicle versus a gas one.
💯
I did the calculations on my 14 F150 5.0. Given current gas prices, if i could get a Pro for $35k (after 7500 tax incentive) my payoff would be 3.5 years given current gas prices and if i could get around $18K on my clean truck.
@@sppeders1 nice.. that definitely sounds do-able!
I mean there is no guarantee gas wont go up. Especially given that most states are passing laws to mandate new vehicles being electric. You can make your own electricity pretty easily, but gas is another story.
Hmm, I recall a few deeply researched videos in the past several years (including one by TFL buddy Engineering Explained) that analyzes the whole footprint issue of ICE vehicles vs. EVs, not just the making of the vehicle but the generation/production of the fuel, the sourcing of all materials, the pollution over the years and even the disposal costs at end of life. EVs seem to come out ahead, all things considered.
For over $50k there really should be a leather-wrapped or leatherette-wrapped steering wheel. That seems like a strange omission.
For a whole $15 buy any steering wheel wrapper you want.
@@crhu319 I think that makes a vehicle feel cheap.
I'm a hard core urban dweller and have never once considered buying a truck. Until the Lightning. If it offered extended range in the Pro, I'd be ALL over it. I think Ford hit it out of the park with this one, and the pricing on the Pro is insanely good for it being a full sized pickup
They do offer the extended range in the Pro, that truck in the video was an extended range Pro, why it was $56k not $41k
I hope you feel better soon!
I want to see a single cab, more powerful version of this to make the lightning name more appropriate.
580HP and 775lbft how much more powerful do you want it to be
@@kylinblue We want a 1000hp electric race truck because we are used to being able to modify vehicles and if I can't the thing better be damn fast from the factory.
@@kylinblue all the power.
@@masonkaye5 check out unplugged performance. It is for Tesla but I think they will eventually give lightning the same treatment.
@@yaboykris2118 you would want Tesla in that case.
I would choose the Pro over the Larial mainly because the infotainment screen looks so much better than that huge oversized screen that doesn't fit the dash in the Lariat. It looks like Ford forgot to design a place for the screen and just glued a huge tablet to the dash.
The Pro model looks more refined and "finished".
Maybe, but the Sync4a UI is easier to navigate for Power-My-Trip on the larger screen.
@@JonDecker I find that the nav screen in my 2018 Lariat works fantastically.
@@JohnnyUmphress I think you're on Sync3, right?
@@JonDecker Oh, yeah. You're right.
@@JohnnyUmphress The Lightning has the Sync 4a system and the UI is more-or-less designed exclusively to take advantage of vertical scrolling. It will work on the smaller screen, but you will have to touch the small screen a lot more to get the same quick-glance info while planning a trip with an EV using the Blue Oval Network feature called "Power-My-Trip". That's the feature that calculates your truck's range and charge times at time-prioritized stations along your route. It's a game changer for driving long routes with an EV.
Most of the Pro trims with the smaller screens are being bought by local fleets and meant for localized travel routes rather than complex cross country tours.
I would want to point out that the extra range might be good for those wanting to tow since the extra weight will affect distance.
Pro. Like to see the folding desk here.
Wonder why the top of the tailgate does not have some rear tail light reflector integration. Better than a red flag when down.
The 39k version will do me just fine . The key is order factory direct cut out the greedy B.S. from the dealerships
With the 'market adjustments ' they do in America, yeah I can see why.
In other countries going direct costs more.
The dealer gives you a discount.
Knock 60 miles off the range for keeping the battery in optimal state of charge. 10% minimum and 80% maximum SOC for daily use. Now cut that max range less the 60 for towing. Then cut that in half for round trip towing. 40 miles round trip towing….
It is not 40 miles of round-trip towing. Even using the Rivian as a baseline (with the standard battery, which is the same size as the Extended Range F150), a real-life test showed an average of 120 miles of range maintaining between 15%-80% of charge.
@@trevorbrown7224 Which is still pitifull but most people don't tow super far unless towing an rv, so this may work for someone who tows to a relatively close lake and back.
@@trevorbrown7224 so cut 120 miles in half for round trip. 60 miles towing to and then 60 miles from destination back
The range listed on these is actually while towing so the range is actually pretty good something like 380-430 miles for the long range model.
@@XxViciousxX Check your facts! And wait for real world testing to verify.
Wow! The Lariet’s Sun roof is awesome
I hate what ford did with the XLT trim. It has no extra major features compared to the pro, but costs 15k more, it only gives you the option to add more stuff. Now I have to step up to the Lariat or go down to the Pro.
I’ll take the Pro.
Same, if it only had the moonroof. I’m not even sure that’s an option though?
TFL is typically first with uploads but always make assumptions instead of researching the products and giving accurate information. Only fleets buyers have extended range available on Pros and and blew over that pros come with vinyl flooring and vinyl seats which is a automatic pass from me. My current F150 has vinyl flooring and I hate it with a passion
I love vinyl flooring. So easy to clean. And as far as the seats... nowadays most "leather" is just fancy vinyl.
@@remgu2000 until you boot wears a hole in it like I have in my work truck also a f150. Made me make a makeshift rubber floor mats for my vinyl floor mats
@@theblunden2 One should still use a good quality floormat to vinyl-floored pickup just like ones does with a carpeted floor. A floormat is what takes the wear and tear; not the flooring itself.
I've always been a firm believer that the more stuff, doo dads you get, the more things that can and will go wrong with it. KISS is always the best way to live ones life!
GREAT VIDEO I'M #64 IN LINE FOR THE LARIAT LIGHTNING AT MY DEALESHIP LET'S SEE HOW THAT TRANSLATE IN ACTUAL WAITING TIME ....
Well that’s the most expensive “base model” I’ve seen.
It's not that bad. quit crying
It’s actually well priced. A base XL with crew cab and four wheel drive is more expensive. Plus Ford claims all Lightning’s have FX4 equivalent equipment standard.
@@BikerJim74 you’re high
There's xl superdutys going for 50k+
Because it has the extended range battery and all the accessories that come with it.
Honestly I like the Pro version bit more, specially for it's price point and what it offers ... that charging time, and battery hold / range is still a major downside and not something that will allow me to consider this ( my need, application and usage) also I know the standard now is 5.5 beds but if I'm looking at a pro pickup it aint to haul the family ... work truck needs a 6.5 or 7ft bed to be useful
I about threw up at $93k for the platinum version. I make over $100k/yr, and the idea of spending nearly that on a truck is insanity.
This truck is a game changer. I wish i can order one but it’s too late
I actually like the PRO over the Lariat or Platinum. That huge screen just doesn't look right to me, and neither does the lightbar
With all the markups they should just stop announcing MSRP.
Ford: New truck with $8k MSRP!
Reality at the dealer: +$50k “market adjustment”
Definitely getting the Base model, I'm not gonna miss much from the Lariat, I'm gonna use it for work anyways. Very impressive Ford, you got a customer.
the "Base" Pro has the interior of a Platinum or King Ranch with the huge screen and digital cluster.
