I bought the 5.0 v8 with the 10 speed auto, its also a 2wd so the ride is actually better than my 4wd ram was. I opted for 2wd because in the two years I owned the ram I never used the 4wd once, so it wasn't a hard decision. I did get the locking rear differential. Oh and the massaging seats...

meh, i couldn't wait for the lightning, traded my 19 ram on a ford platinum f150, couldn't be happier. Forgot just how nice the fords are compared to ram.

You assumed that the battery is going to fail on a vehicle that isn't even in production yet, so I guess you are ignorant as well.

Also what you people fail to realize, is how many people can actually afford to buy a new car, maybe 25% of the population? The rest of the people will still drive their clapped out z71 until they die, while I enjoy new technology.

I could give a rats *** about the environment, I just think they are cool and want to try one, I don't want them to quit making gas and diesel rigs either.

Have you ever drove a cng vehicle, they are lethargic.

Damn that sucks that you have to buy a truck to prove your manhood, lol.

I would have no problem buying a battery after 100k miles. 10k every 8 years for a battery is just 1250 a year. I could not imagine owning the same vehicle for 8 years though, but I get that some people do, and this probably isn't for them.

I just sold my ram after two years of ownership, it had 13000 miles on it. 100000 miles will last me the full 8 years, I wouldn't keep the truck that long anyway. Good luck on getting 100k out of that ecodiesel, thats a real crapshoot. I don't know how many of those trucks I've seen for sale...

I put in a reservation for one this afternoon, after reading that ford covers the batteries for 8 years or 100k miles.

The reason why its called a mustang is simple, they didn't want something with a non mustang nameplate faster than the mustang, the mustang mach e does 0-60 in the the mid 3 seconds, so that is why.

This truck is for the guy who occasionally pulls his boat to the lake, makes lumber yard runs, hauls some furniture for the neighbor, etc. Me personally I wouldn't even tow with it if i bought it, would just use my tahoe.

:sick:

So Gm already has committed to being totally electric by 2035, this gives another 14 plus years to beef up the grid. Probably one in ten americans buy a new car every few years so its not going to be that big of a deal. I expect to see more companies getting charging stations for employees...

Just an update, as of 2pm today, Ford has 44000 reservations for the lightning.

true, I may just for kicks and to receive updates about the truck

Can a guy or gal just like driving a truck? Most people could get by with a scooter, who the hell wants to do that. I just sold a camry that i was using for a work car and bought a tahoe for work, why? because its more comfortable, more powerful, and I like driving trucks.

the lightning has a 10000 lb towing capacity and more payload than the ram 1500 at 2000 lbs, so i think its more than capable of towing

Why does it have to be non towing? I live 5 miles from the lake, so I'm pretty sure its got enough range to pull my boat, I'm 15 miles from the lumber yard, so it should be able to make a 30 mile round trip pulling my trailer, if I was taking a trip somewhere i would rent anyway as to not put a...

Some of your points are valid, but I wouldn't keep it out of warranty, so the battery is a none issue. And the batteries can be recycled.
